Our love story started when Mark wrapped up two tours of Afghanistan and moved back home to Jersey in the Channel Islands...

And Niamh moved to the island of Jersey to produce the news.

We met on the dancefloor of the only night club on the island... We will reveal the hilarious details on our wedding to give you a giggle!

We went on many dates...

Our joint love of travelling took us to exciting places like the Trevi Fountain in Rome...

Exploring Murano...

Eating way too much cheese in Venice...

We loved going off the beaten track but also enjoyed the cheesy touristy spots!

After a Godwin family do, Mark asked Niamh to be his girlfriend! It became "Facebook official"! :)

Niamh met the Godwin family...

And Mark met the Hannon family in Ireland...

He liked the Green Isle!

We sneakily moved in together and got our own place!

Mark, the history buff, teaching Niamh about the Romans...

Lots and lots of parties!

Our competitive natures clashed on the golf course!

A romantic Christmas shopping trip to Paris...

This must have been when Instagram filters were introduced!

A hop on the ferry and a drive to Dinan in France for Valentine's.

There were lots of birthdays and celebrations throughout the years..

Thousands of steps strolling around Amsterdam..

And a steak in an Amsterdam restaurant we still talk about till this day!

Camel rides in Morocco...

Ice rooms in Barcelona...

We travelled all around Europe whenever we could... A weekend in Munich...

A quick sip of the good German stuff...

A weekend trip to Prague...

The travel bug took over and in a matter of months we sold our belongings and headed to the other side of the world with a suitcase each.

Hello Sydney!

Little did Niamh know that during our goodbye trip to Ireland before we headed to Sydney, Mark spoke to Paddy about his intention to marry. Paddy's answer is another perfect story for the wedding day! On our third anniversary, Mark rented a boat, got down on one knee and popped the question. We got engaged!!!
