Lizz

Who is the groom?

Rob

When is your wedding?

4th June, 2011

How and when did you meet?

Rob and I met online, through match.com, three and half years ago. We chatted through messenger, then by phone for a couple of months before finally meeting in a Cafe Nero. We clicked straight away and coffee soon turned into drinks at a local bar… Our relationship started out long distance whilst I was at University and we went through ups and downs as stresses of university work and distance put pressure on our relationship. However, we survived and four months after I graduated he moved in with me and soon after we got our handsome dog, Bertie…

How old are you both?

I am 23, Rob is 27.

Where, when and how did he (or you!) propose?

Rob proposed to me with a champagne breakfast at home in bed. He woke me up with a kiss and handed me a tray with champagne, scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Our dog was asleep at the bottom of the bed – the perfect proposal!!

Did you have hen and stag celebrations? If so, what did you do?

Yet to be planned!

How did your groom help with the wedding planning?

I run all decisions past my Mum, then him.
