Lauryn & David ❤️

14/03/2026

Let me take you all back to June 2021, when both Katrina & Darren found themselves single after many years and took the brave step of going online….

K. I’d been single for 4years, and my daughter finally (at the age of 11) gave me permission to ‘meet some’. So, as a single mother of 2, with very limited childcare, a full time job working in a school nursery and no opportunities to meet anyone I decided to try the land of swiping

D. I was ready to think about dating for the first time in 30 years. I tried Tinder first but that was waaay too scary, so I went on Plenty Of Fish.

K. Plenty of Fish was recommended and given my love of the sea and fishing with my dad as a kid I decided to give it a go. Lots of swiping left – any profile with a hint of red flag was rejected. Then I came across Darren – or ‘Dazza’ as his profile name was and I stopped in my tracks. He had the kindest eyes I’d ever seen. So I read through his profile, checking off all the ‘requirements’ I had set – probably most importantly did he like to travel? Yes! he sounded too good to be true! So I swiped right.

D. Kat’s profile was a beautiful picture of her in her car. I thought she was gorgeous and had a fun profile, so I swiped right! One Thursday morning I saw that she had also swiped right and so I sent her a message at exactly the same time as she sent one to me. It was serendipity, and a sign of things to come.

K. We started chatting, hit it off and eventually arranged to have coffee at the Torrance Hotel in East Kilbride, at 2pm.

D. I’d not had a proper first date like this for decades and so I donned my best jeans and made sure I was early. I needn’t have bothered as Kat was fashionably, and not untypically, late. She came in and looked stunning in jeans, a floral blouse and cardi.

K. Obviously I was a few minutes late, so I was a bit flustered when I arrived, but I found him in the bar as arranged and as he stood up to greet me I felt the butterflies, his smile was even warmer in person. We sat and chatted for a couple of hours, and it was like we’d known each other for ever, then towards the end of the date I was looking at him and thinking I really would like to kiss him, and ooops I said it out loud…

D. She was funny, smart and so pretty. She eventually said, “I really want to kiss you right now” and I replied, “Then why don’t you?” and we kissed…just as ‘You Do Something To Me’ by Paul Weller started in the background. It was a magical moment.

K. At that exact moment the world stopped, and I knew that I was done swiping and I wanted this to work. It was the tail end of covid and we were only allowed a 2 hour booking so we had to leave which was not something either of us wanted to do.

D. Sensibly, Kat needed to head home to collect her kids but we stood in the car park in the drizzle, smooching. A piper started to play nearby for another wedding. Eventually she left me standing in the drizzle knowing that I had to see her again.

K. I left, with the sight of him standing in the rain, hands in pocket looking both super sexy and super adorable it was a struggle to keep driving.

D. And that was how it began. We started dating with Kat mainly coming to my flat at weekends.

K. The following September, still very early in the relationship, both my kids tested positive for Covid. It was right around my birthday, but I hadn’t been able to go shopping and was running out of supplies. I messaged Darren and just over an hour later there was a knock at my door. There he was standing laden with bags. He came into the house and sat at the back door, paranoid about catching Covid, but he’d brought chicken nuggets and chips for the kids, other essentials and a beautiful birthday cake, prosecco and presents for me. I was blown away! (he’d already sent flowers that morning) So very much ahead of schedule that is how Darren met my kids.

D. Over the next few years I fell completely in love with her. We discovered over time just how much we had in common and how compatible we were. Life did throw a lot of challenges at us too. Kat lost her stepdad and her sister in law,. I have lost my brother, my lovely Mum and last November my Dad. Having Kat through these times really helped me cope. She has a depth of empathy and compassion that I have never experienced

K. The relationship grew, and we lived for our weekends together and holidays. For my 50th birthday Darren took me on a Mediterranean cruise – something I’d always dreamed of doing and it was magical. He chose the itinerary to make sure I got to see the places that really mattered to me – and helped me scatter some of my dad’s ashes in the harbour in Valletta, Malta, a very special moment for me as he loved Malta and spent many winters there before he died.

D. Kat adores the sun, within minutes her face blossoms with little freckles and her hair becomes that beautiful strawberry blonde colour. She shines in the sun, and she loves water, be it a lake, river or sea. She is never happier then when she can hear water lapping at the shore.

K. Our relationship continued to grow and our love deepened, but we had the distance between us, my children to consider and I was doing a degree at University, which I’d started just after we got together. It wasn’t all plain sailing; on top of losing so many loved ones, there was my mum’s dementia diagnosis and subsequent move to a care home, parenting challenges, co-parenting challenges, failing modules on my degree and resits to name just a few. But with a lot of talking, we worked through it all and started planning a proper future together. Weekends and holidays were not enough; we wanted to have the mundane together as well.

Their ceremony was one of those where I felt somewhat like a third wheel! They locked eyes from the very first moment and stayed that way throughout, and that is so special to see as a celebrant. Their love was truly palpable (and their kids were an absolute joy to meet) Congratulations Mr & Mrs England ❤️

Let’s go back to the 12th of October 2021, just as the world was waking up post pandemic, and singletons had found the only way to meet anyone was with the swipe of a finger…on Tinder. And that’s how it all began for Karen & Ross…

K. I was getting to the stage of giving up when we eventually matched

R. We spoke for a couple of weeks, before arranging a first date to Duck Bay Marina near Balloch

First impressions?

K. As soon as we started speaking, it felt as though I’d known him for years. I already knew I was attracted to him from his profile and as my friends would say “straight from the Karen factory” as I have a type! But as soon as we started speaking it just felt instantly comfortable and easy. I realised straight away how much of a kind and caring person he was. I never had any worries or doubts about his interest in me, and we both just hit it off straight away!

R. I though she looked beautiful and could hold a good conversation which was great as everyone knows I love a good chat! She was also very intelligent, she had a great job, and I could tell she was passionate about what she did. We both had similar interests too, so everything worked out well.

K. I had my own wee flat where I lived with my dog Archie, and Ross would spend his days off at mine.

R. I spent more time there than I did my mum’s house. Then, that Christmas Karen gave me a key to the house.

K. We officially became boyfriend and girlfriend whilst we were at a lodge with a hot tub - our favourite thing to do! In April 2022, we adopted our wee Romanian rescue, Poppy to keep Archie company. Looking back I can’t believe we were only together 6 months at that point as it honestly felt so much longer than that! Ross officially moved into my flat after we had our first holiday to Tenerife.

R. At that point I was still working in the care sector back in Balloch but eventually transferred to Renfrewshire. We then purchased our first home together where we still live now. Karen moved jobs, and I started a new career in banking.

K. We then bought what we thought was our forever home in August 2023. The following month, we went on the most romantic holiday to Stella Island, and having dropped some major hints, I was convinced that he was going to propose but he was clearly keeping me on my toes as sadly nothing happened.

THE PROPOSAL

K. We’d already spoken about marriage and children, so the proposal itself wasn’t a surprise, however, I never knew how or when it was going to happen!

R. We’d even done some window shopping looking at rings which gave me some great ideas. We were going for a date day in Glasgow to Turtle Bay for a brunch that morning, so I decorated the living room with pictures from the past few years and had candles and petals on the floor.

K. I was upstairs doing my hair and makeup and unbeknown to me, Ross was downstairs decorating the living room. He was down there for ages, and I assumed he was watching the horse racing, and we were going to miss the taxi, so coming down the stairs, I was moaning at him. The living room looked beautiful, he’d even tried to include the dogs, putting a bandana on them which read “Will You Marry Daddy?”… This part didn’t quite go to plan as the fire from the tea lights scared them so much that Archie ran away and hid under the bed before Ross could get the bandana on him! It didn’t matter, it was so personal and exactly how I wanted it!

Their day went exactly to plan, with friends Laura & Jack pouring the rather unusual concoction of
Four Loko & Peach & Raspberry Dragon Soop into the Quaich! Ross’ friend Anna gave us a reading, nephew Teddy warmed the rings and their mums Liz & Val helped the tie the knot. Congratulations Mr & Mrs Willis ❤️

To tell Jennifer & Ewan’s story, let’s go back to February 2020, just before the world had any idea that a global pandemic was just around the corner…

E. I saw a picture of someone with a cheeky grin and mischievous eyes and decided I would press ‘like’. She must’ve done the same.

J. His profile had cute pics of him in a café and with his nieces and it was such a welcome break from all the gym bro pics. We had been messaging and making arrangements to meet up (I was in Edinburgh and he was Dumbarton) and then we went into the first covid lockdown. I love reading and writing but never like messaging people for long, but lockdown flipped that on its head, and we ended up messaging daily, sending each other questions – from the serious to the ridiculous and it was the highlight of my day reading his thoughts and answering his questions.

E. I think we thought that Covid would pass in a week or two. So we started emailing one another. I loved these emails – both of us liked words – and so each day had the anticipation of her lengthy reply to my lengthy reply to her lengthy reply…. It became a formula: blurb on our day then a response to 3 questions asked by the other (anything from ‘what’s the best/dirtiest thing you’d put in mac & cheese?’ to Proustian questions, such as ‘what is your current state of mind?’ to big questions, such as ‘what is a mind’?) Then followed a wee gallery of recent or not so recent pics of our life (a walk, food, holiday, family) I’d spend an age carving my email, only for her to respond in minutes in perfect prose.

J. Oh we also doodled stick men on any pictures we took, they got up to all kinds, and he still draws me them to this day. He was thoughtful, intelligent, funny and curious. We also called and used that terrible lockdown app everyone started using where you could play games, so we’d chatted too but never met.

E. Thanks to the app I could now see her live, all 3 inches of her, on my phone.

J. We then met up for a walk in Callander. It was funny – we’d shared so much by that point it felt like we already knew each other, but I think we were both nervous. But it was a beautiful day and by the end I felt like I just knew we had something good here and I wanted to see him again soon.

E. I’d said that when we met, I’d take her hand and we’d walk together. We started walking…. And talking… and talking and walking and … eventually, after a couple of hours, I took her hand.

First impressions?

J. Meeting him vs messaging – was that he was shy, cute and genuine! He was just himself, there was no posturing or pretence, and he was all the things I had hoped. He had kind eyes and the loveliest smile. My favourite thing now is when he’s in the background of a photo smiling at someone or something and unaware his photo is being taken. That smile is like when I met him and every time I met him after that and it still is one of my best things when I see him and he smiles.

E. She has that mischievous grin in real life too! And lovely soft eyes. And she can talk. No fear of there being a lull in conversation. Initially, at times, I felt a bit inferior to her knowledge and cultural references and how she could argue any point. I thought I was heading into a relationship with a polymath and didn’t know how to break it to her that being a P1 teacher, barely able to teach first thing on a Monday, I might not have the mental gravitas and depth she was looking for. So far, I think I’ve done well in feigning mediocre intelligence. Oh, and she’s funny, quick witted, with a dark sense of humour. She’d make me laugh with her doodles and impersonations of our cats Fidget and Molly talking

J. We fell into this rhythm of seeing each other twice a week (so many walks and adventures and for the most part everything closed so all you do was talk really!) and realised it would make sense to move in together and that’s where we were headed. He hadn’t lived with anyone before, and I know he felt nervous. So cue lockdown madness housing market and decisions and we went rural and moved to Balfron.

E. I remember being so at home, so comfortable lying on her sofa in her flat in Musselburgh. And I loved how we’d laugh so much at something or another, or something one of us had said, and then equally have serious in depth discussions about whatever it was that was begging to be chewed and debated on. And she could make a decent mac and cheese, one of my favourite dishes that she cooks.

J. A little before we were due to move I discovered I was pregnant and we didn’t plan for that and I wondered how he would take it - but he was delighted and it was lovely, I felt so excited. The house sale was a disaster, and we ended up staying with my parents for months (thanks guys!) before we moved in!!! New home together woohoo! No. It. was. awful.

E. Pretty quickly – ok days after moving in – we discovered we had rats living with us. They’d scratch the walls from within, and we’d hear them above us in the attic space. And as much we both loved the country, living there was a pain.

J. I think we both knew we’d made a mistake, not just the rats, parts were damp, the boiler didn’t heat the water properly, the electrics were terrible…..the list goes on and on. We agreed we’d do the work to get the house in better condition then cut our losses and move on. That period was hard – we definitely had our ups and downs, we both felt isolated there and with a new baby and some lockdown rules still in place and classes or baby activities not on it was tough. But we still had more ups than downs and I can’t count the amount of times I laughed till I cried at the mad things he says that make me laugh.

E. Getting anywhere was a hassle, family weren’t close. And there wasn’t a whole lot to do. And the daily walk with the baby was essentially the same loop of the village. The best thing we ever did at Balfron, other than having our daughter, was selling and moving to what we both call home, and it feels like home, somewhere we look forward to coming back to, somewhere that feels like us. Clarkston is where it’s at.

J. This house also needed a lot of work so cue another few months with my mum and dad (cheers again, we know it’s wearing thin and swear we won’t do it again!). But over the last two years it’s come together and we’re both so happy here and it feels like home. And through it all I feel the same about Ewan. He’s my best friend, my love, he makes me laugh, he listens, he is always interesting and always interested and I have never really questioned our relationship or had any doubts. It just always felt right.

Most weddings at Oran Mor are large and busy but this time the ceremony was upstairs in the balcony with just 18 people, and they even chose to get married on a Monday with no fuss and somehow that made it even more perfect!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Cameron ❤️

Sarah & Ross live in Australia but their story began, in 2012, on the island of Jersey, and more specifically the rather swanky nightclub there known as “Mimosa’

R. I spotted Sarah staring at me from across the dance floor, it was making me quite uncomfortable, so I had to go over and have a few words.

S. It was love at first sight 🙂.

first impressions?

R. Brunette, tanned, great legs and clearly enjoys a few too many drinks! Just my type.

S. He was very tall and even in heels I felt small… oh and he had lovely eyes. We liked the same things (except surfing, he has tried unsuccessfully to teach me, but for some reason the board always hits my face). I played rugby at the time and so did he, he had done a lot of traveling which I had as well.

R. We holidayed together, then moved in together before Sarah came home from work one day and said, “I’m relocating to Sydney for work in 3 months, you can come if you like.”

S. I gave him the choice he either came with me, or we would break up, long distance wouldn’t work in my mind.

R. So I did!

THE PROPOSAL

R. It was a surprise, nothing fancy or romantic, that’s not me. We were walking the dogs on our local beach one evening when I asked if she fancied marrying me.

S. I actually thought he was joking. Neither of us like public shows of affection so he took me down to Freshwater beach with the doggies, I did wonder why on a Friday he was suggesting that way but didn’t think anything about it. As we started to head home, he asked me to marry him with my mum’s engagement ring, and I got to pick mine the day after. An appointment I had already made.

They chose the intimate setting of one of Glasgow’s more iconic restaurants Ubiquitous Chip as it held special memories for Sarah when her gran took her there for lunch when she graduated. Sadly their fur babies Murphy & Harris couldn’t be there but they made the poster on everyone’s arrival!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Dunne ❤️

Last month Jessica & Stuart got married. To tell their story we need to go back to February 2022, via the most modern way of matchmaking these days.m, the swipe of a finger…. On Tinder.

S. We both swiped right, so we were physically attracted to one another (I wish every girl was)

J. I decided to expand my search radius beyond Edinburgh after starting my job in Glasgow in November (and having left swiped everyone in the East by this point). We had our first date after work a few days later on the 9th of February at Gin 71 on Renfield Street.

First impressions?

J. I thought he’d stood me up at first because he was nowhere to be seen when I got to the bar. He came across as quite confident, if somewhat cocky so I wasn’t sure at all, but it turned out he had a serious and caring side, so I was pleasantly surprised.

S. My vague memory is she looked even nicer in real life. She seemed bright, chatty, and interested in me. Perhaps slightly nervous but in a good way, in a way that made me think she was selective about the men that she would agree to go on a second date with. I tried to engage in an intellectual discussion about Hong Kong since it left UK rule and came under Chinese rule. I think she was impressed by how informed I was about world issues. Importantly, I felt I could be myself with her. We agreed that we wanted to meet up on another date playing crazy golf, and we had our first kiss.

J. We dated for a few months before making our relationship official in July. A month later I met his whole family which was quite daunting at the time but luckily they were all so lovely and welcoming.

S. Later that year in Nov 2022 we went on holiday to Portugal. This was a first holiday with a partner for both of us. It was a great success, and I felt that Jess was someone I might always want to be with. Now we’ve holidayed a few times and I have been nicknamed her ‘travel princess’ because of the way she tends to organise everything and I simply tag along for the ride (in her opinion!).

Their ceremony was so personal, and rather than making their personal vows over an Oathng Stone, Stuart’s love of dinosaurs meant they used a fossilised dinosaur tooth from a Deltadromeus species of dinosaur that is 100 million years old.
Small in size but meaningful, it signifies how in the 13.7 billion years that the universe has existed and the 4.3 billion years that planet Earth has existed, our time together is comparatively very short and therefore precious so we should make the most of it!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Gillies every day is a school day in this job! ❤️ 🦕 🦖

Maria & Steven’s story began many moons ago, with a little help from the good old internet…

S. We became friends on Facebook initially.

M. We are both from East Kilbride, same age, however our paths had never crossed, despite me being friends with Joanne, Best Man Scott’s wife. So I got a friend request, and saw that we had 50 mutual friends, therefore I accepted.

S. I then drunkenly messaged her and pretended a friend had stolen my phone (smooth I know) she politely messaged back but that was all and I didn’t hear from her for a while after that.

M. It was a DM at 4am saying “Hi” which I ignored… the next day he tried to say a friend messaged me instead… we had a bit of chat back and forward… then I ended up patching him for over a month

S. She then messaged me a few weeks later and I managed to secure a date. Things progressed quite quickly after that.

M. We arranged a date in the West End. Steven picked me up in a taxi and we went to Ashton Lane for drinks.

S. That was our very first face to face meeting.

First impressions?

M. I thought he was very handsome, friendly and easy to chat to

S. She was obviously absolutely stunning, and I knew from then on I would definitely be punching above my weight .

M. But it took until the 3rd date at Café Andaluz that I decided I actually liked him

S. After a few dates things progressed super quick. We saw each other most days and after a couple of months we had moved in together at her flat.

M. Steven moved into the flat within a few months – then bam, new house, 4 kids, lots of holidays/trips and fun.

S. For a couple of years it was just us and Noah. We then bought our first house together and from there we had Luca and then Jude 14 months later and the finally our little girl Myla. Let the madness commence. To say our household is chaotic would be an understatement but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Their day was like a fairytale. The sun shone, the venue looked amazing, with the pair of them as the perfect leading lady and her handsome prince. With an army of bridesmaids, flower girls, Best Man, groomsmen and Paige boys they were serenaded by the Gio Choir and even had the help of signer Mark Cross for their hearing impaired guests.
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Chaplain ❤️

Let me take you all back to 2013 and a pub known as The Curlers Rest on Byres Rd in Glasgow’s west end as we set the scene for Jason & James’ story..

JASON. James was totally swatchin’ me, so naturally, I found him on socials and slid into his DMs.

JAMES. I thought he was the most handsome guy in town. Months later I was at a Girls Aloud concert and got chatting to some school teachers, and I met Laura, who turned out to be one of Jason’s best friends. The following day she told him about this guy she’d met the previous night, and she thought he would like me. He showed her a photo of me, and she confirmed it was the same person. He then slid into my DMs and a year of stalking commenced

JASON. The universe was clearly trying to tell me something and I asked him out a lot—like, a hundred times—but he kept knocking me back. But persistence pays off, and eventually, he asked me out on a date… on Christmas Eve. So, on 24th December 2014, we had our first date at a café in Merchant City. It was lovely, but I knew I liked him when we ended up in pub, and he got up to sing both parts of “Islands in the Stream” on karaoke..

JAMES. I knew that night that he was ‘the one’. From that day on he never really went home, however he did pretend he was in a taxi when I dropped him off on Christmas morning!

JASON. I stayed over at his flat that night, but I’d bought my parents a Scottish Terrier puppy—Walter—for Christmas, and my brother Scott was looking after him so I could go on the date. Cue 8am Christmas morning: Scott’s calling me, asking where I am and saying I need to get home to deliver the puppy. James drove me back, and when my mum called asking where I was, I had to lie and say I was in a taxi. I got home at 8:15am, handed over the puppy… and spent the rest of Christmas being called the Christmas w***e by my family.

First impressions?

JAMES. He was so handsome, charming, full of fun and a great singer! What more do you need?

JASON. I fell in love at first sight. I saw him in a pub and turned to my friend and said, “That’s the person I’m going to be with.” I just knew. It felt like I moved in with him pretty quickly. Now, working for Homesense/TK Maxx, I naturally, I imagined his place would be full of gorgeous homeware. But no. What I found was a George Foreman grill, a wok, and not a single matching plate or piece of cutlery. For the first six months of our relationship, I made dinner every night using just that wok. Romantic, right? But James wasn’t complaining – as his speciality is a boiled egg. Then we bought our first place together, and that kicked off the next chapter: Reno Life.

JAMES. We spent all of our time renovating the flat then moving on to Wilton St and then to our current flat. Our weekends were trips to the dump or looking for fabrics, cushions and oversized lighting and we just loved it.

JASON. We started buying flats that needed ripped apart and done up. For the next few years, we lived in a manky transit van—ripping out kitchens, hauling stuff to the dump, painting, decorating—and we genuinely loved every minute of it. To this day, we still love walking around the West End, peeking into windows.

JAMES. I made it very clear to Jason that a wedding should be on the cards!

JASON. So I proposed on Christmas Day 2023, and I think I genuinely surprised him. He probably thought I’d wait until the following year—but Christmas is our favourite time. We love decorating, hosting, and having friends and family over, and since we were doing Christmas dinner that year, it just felt right.

Their day was so chilled yet super Christmassy too. Guests lounged on super comfy sofas around the fireplace as I shared their story and pronounced them husband & husband. Congratulations Mr & Mr Stark ❤️

On possibly one of the most stunning days of Christmas in an idyllic cosy country pub in front of a glowing fire, Aimee & David got married.
She told me, “We met in 2007 when I started my NQT year at The Grange. David was my mentor. I was in my 20s, he was in his 30s and although I knew he was an amazing teacher all I could focus on at that stage was the sideburns and red polo shirts he wore to work! We only worked together for a year, before David left for a promotion at another school.

Life then took over…we followed the crowd did our thing. Lived our lives separately and brought beautiful children into the world from a place of love.

Life got tricky at times, losing our Mums had a massive impact on us both. It makes you question everything. Your path, what you want in life, out of life and who in fact you really are. We were both a bit lost, not really knowing why…

Then almost ten years after we first met we found each other working together again. Neither of us expected that that would change our lives. But after some time, something in each of us recognised the other- something honest, something undeniable.

Their kids all played their part, read a poem, warmed the rings, and even helped them literally tie the knot, the whole room felt warm and full of love and it wasn’t just that roaring fire!
Congratulations Mr & Mrs Taylor ❤️

Diane & Graham met back in August 2022, where so many love stories begin, on dating app Hinge. And so it was with the swipe of a finger, they matched.

G. Diane made the first move; she commented on my prompt about whistling a Westlife song whilst being nervous. You will be shocked to know the demand for bald data analysts on Hinge was low at the time so to see this 5ft 10 blonde bombshell message me was a turn up for the books.

D. We exchanged a few messages, and he seemed fun. Having learned it’s best to skip straight to meeting up after messaging men for weeks only to realise it was a hard pass within 10 seconds of meeting, I quickly said “I’ve heard enough, would you like to go on a date?”.

G. Diane suddenly messaged bluntly ‘You will do, let’s meet’. After having been swept of my feet by her way with words, we met a few days later in Pollok Park. Diane was very late, which would go on to foreshadow our life together, she emerged from a 16-year-old Skoda (The F14 RIP), with a big, beautiful barking black dog called Mia.

D. So I took Mia along and arrived, true to character 30 mins late.

G. We marched around for an hour, she was her hilarious and engaging self from the start, lord knows why we only stayed for an hour but after we ended the walk with a hug, we almost immediately started texting, wondering why we weren’t still together.

D. We went our separate ways after what felt like a far too short date. I remember thinking “well he’s my next boyfriend” on the drive home. I then met my friend for a drink and told her I thought he was great. I think I messaged him on the app to give him my number and said I’d like to see him again - thankfully he felt the same.

First impressions?

G. Diane is clearly beyond intelligent, more capable and fun than anyone I have ever met before but as she gingerly emerged (she has the worst back known to man) from the car, the image of this stunning tall blonde juxtapositioned against the battered Skoda with overflowing coffee cups and rubbish, was quite the sight. There wasn’t a moment on that date that made me think I wouldn’t want to see her again.

D. I fancied him instantly and I think the first thing I said to him was “you have nice eyes” (smooth moves!). We walked around the park, and Mia seemed to like him which is odd because she hates most humans. He was chatty and funny and seemed interested in what I had to say. However, on the second and fourth date (seems the even numbers were not his strong suit) I went very back and forth on whether I was interested or not. I think I was worried his kindness, and enthusiasm was insincere but turns out he’s just a great guy.

G. I know Diane wasn’t sure about me. Date 1 was brilliant. Date 2 was tense. Date 3 was brilliant. Date 4 was tense.

D. We hadn’t be in touch for maybe a week after our fourth date and then I sent him a picture of me and 4 day old Cora with the message “nice niece”. He then asked if I wanted to go and see the Jodie Comer play “Prima Facie”, I agreed.

G. Somehow the critique of defence lawyers and the judicial system’s poor treatment of sexual assault cases equalled romance. We haven’t been apart since, several weeks later we went to Mull and Diane asked me to be her boyfriend on the ferry.

D. He came to my parent’s house for Christmas that December and then we went up to Thurso to see his family between Christmas and new year. We had the best time together and once we got back to Glasgow he unofficially moved in with me. We have slowly but surely made my flat our home with ongoing (much needed!) renovations.
He’s become the best dog dad to Mia and she is obsessed with him to a level that is almost offensive to me. He supported me through my consultant job interview and surprised me in the RAH car park the morning after my last night shift as a registrar with Mia and balloons.

And so that was it, BINGO!!! These two made me laugh so much, they’re a perfect match and their twilight wedding was stress free and no fuss, just like them. Congratulations guys, hope we meet again one day when I’m walking my dog in Pollok Park! ❤️
