When & where did you first meet?
We met on an online dating site called POF (Plenty of Fish) we had our first date two weeks later on Sunday 3rd July 2016
Tell us about the proposal. How long were you engaged for?
Chris sent some red roses to my office with a note written in french!!
When I finished work he picked me up from bus station and we drove home, when we got home he handed me the keys and said he was right behind me. When I unlocked the door there were red petals everywhere!
And when I turned around he was on one knee, my first reaction; are you joking?! 🤣
And of course I said yes!
