Story
As I think most people know already, Jon and I first met a few years before we started dating as we both worked for the same company. I was a new grad on the graduate scheme and Jon was the mentor of my group project!
Fast forward a few years and we meet again at our friend Jim's birthday party drinks. And the rest is history...
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
See Our Story!
Who made the first move? How?
He made the first move when I asked him a question on what he studied at university and his response was 'I'll answer this question if you give me a kiss...' Think I made the right choice when I replied 'How about I give you my number and you can text me when you're sober?' I only found out years later that Jon had booked the restaurant for our first date immediately that night.
Who's going to take out the trash?
As Jon says... it's a Muffin job.
What's your favorite activity together?
Whenever we go away, we tend to go on a bike ride (ideally on e-bikes!!). This has now become our go-to activity, so much so that Jon proposed mid-cycle ride when we were in the New Forest. We also enjoy segwaying :D
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Still to be decided!
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
L'Enclume! We loved it so much, we're going back in August.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
In 2019, we travelled around California and it was amazing. The trip is also memorable from the famous 'Paddle, Muffin!' video.
The dorkiest thing about us is
We love history podcasts - particularly Dan Carlin's Hardcore History!
