Story
Tom and I met online in a videogame, coincidently called "Destiny"! As soon as I heard his voice I wanted to get to know him, at the time I was in Spain and about to move back to England. Tom asked me where I was moving back to and destiny had it that I was moving to Yeovil, close to him in Weymouth!
One of our first dates was dressed as dinosaurs at the New Years Eve festivities in Weymouth! The more we found out about each other after that, the more we realised how much our paths had crossed over the years without us even knowing it, it really was "destiny" <3
