Once upon a time, in the digital age of love, fate had a modern twist. It all began around two years ago on Bumble, a dating app known for empowering women to make the first move. Raeesa and Anthony, each intrigued by the other's profile, found themselves swiping right and embarking on a journey neither could have predicted.
Raeesa, a lawyer with a passion for art and travel, was drawn to Anthony's warm, genuine smile (and the fact that his location on Bumble showed him to be located within 2 miles of her home in Balham). She decided to break the ice with a message that cleverly referenced certain traits on his profile (to prove she had read it). Anthony, a data engineer with a penchant for witty banter, was immediately captivated by Raeesa's charm and intelligence.
Their first date felt effortless, filled with laughter and shared interests and lasted almost 6 hours! From discussing favourite travel destinations to television programmes (Family Guy and American Dad to name but a few), they quickly realised how much they had in common. As they continued to go on numerous dates, it was clear that this was the start of something special.
Over the past two years, Raeesa and Anthony have celebrated milestones, traveled to numerous destinations and built the foundations for a life filled with love and laughter. Their journey from a simple "right swipe" to planning a lifetime together has been nothing short of magical for them both.
Now, as they prepare to say "I do," they invite you to join them in celebrating the next chapter of their story. A story that began with a message on Bumble and has blossomed into a beautiful romance that neither of them could have ever imagined!
