Story

The first time we had dinner together was in Hugo's in Dublin seated right up the front of the restaurant where three flies spent the night circling us. Marty got the biggest steak on the menu and glared at me for not getting one too!

Following a great nights meal Marty asked me to "The Bodyguard" musical and I was hooked! Not letting this one go! Following the "The Bodyguard" we bought tickets to the "Phantom of the Opera" that week for June of the following year as far to the front as possible. Marty saw it as a strategic tactical risk where worse case he ended up with goods tickets to Phantom. There may have been a strategy in play here I was not aware of.

We have been living together through lockdown in Kill, Co. Kildare surviving like everyone else. We moved in together the week before lockdown to raise our doggie Jessie. How was this not meant to be?

Tidbits

Who made the first move? How?

I made the first move. We met on Bumble and girls go first there. Still not sure it was not a bot account.

What was your most memorable date?

For me we went to the body guard on our second date. Fabulous! River dance has to be a good second.

For Marty it has to be my birthday in the first year we were going out, where he arrived at a pub. Marty was questioned for a good ten minutes and told you can't miss them, follow the balloon. Marty had bought me flowers and a balloon came with it. Marty later successfully lost the balloon attempting to outrun a bus.

What's your favorite activity together?

Age of Empires and Marty getting eaten by a shark in Raft. We recently enlisted aboard a sea of thieves crew. Have you seen the Lego collection?

Where are you going for your honeymoon?

Let's hope the wedding goes ok without a Covid hitch and then lets see.

What's the best meal you have eaten together?

We have eaten a lot of best meals. Too many!!!

What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?

A couple of days in London it was magical. Covid prevented the rest going ahead.

The most spontaneous thing we’ve done

Bought a dog one random afternoon.

The dorkiest thing about us is

It's a very deep well. Don't mess with the Lego Nintendo. Marty spent days building it. Also don't ask about the Lego Nintendo. Pictures will be sent.

We are regulars at

The Dew Drop if it was open in Kill or Wards if we are in Claremorris.

We take pride in

Our dog Jessie. She is a good doggie.
