Our story kicks off in the not-so-romantic realms of the digital dating world—Tinder. No fancy serendipity, just a swipe right that changed the game.

We first met face-to-face on 25/09/21 in Manchester's Saint Peter's Square. No grand gestures, just a casual date that quickly turned into something more. Dan, in a move that caught Rachael off guard, decided to skip the small talk and planted a kiss right then and there.

By the end of that first date, plans for a round two were already on the table. No beating around the bush, we liked each other's company, and that was that. In the following days, they became inseparable. No frills, just two people finding comfort and connection in each other.

Fast forward to May 2022, and they decided to take the plunge and move in together. Practical? Maybe. But it felt right. No grandiose gestures, just a couple making a life together. The highs and lows of living under the same roof, figuring things out as we went.

Christmas Eve 2023 was not a scene from a holiday rom-com, but it was special in its own way. Dan, in his no-nonsense style, popped the question. An anniversary card and the ring at the bottom of Rachael’s stocking ❤️

So, here we are. No fairy godmothers, no enchanted castles, just two people who swiped right and decided to navigate this messy, beautiful journey called life together. Join them on 25/10/25 as they celebrate their unfiltered love story—one that started with a simple swipe and continues with the real, imperfect, and incredibly genuine love they’ve built together.
