We first crossed paths at the grand old age of 11 in secondary school. Katie had a bit of a thing for Nick by the time we were 13, but she had to play the long game, seven years long to be exact. But, as all great love stories go, timing is everything.
Fast forward to 2018, we had been working together at the pub and Nick made a very dramatic exit to start uni… only to return a month later because, conveniently, his placement was nearby (destiny? Probably). On our “final” shift together, we both proposed to each other. Katie flung herself onto Nick’s leg to stop him from leaving, immediately winning over the future in-laws (or so she hopes).
In February 2019, we had our first official date (big shoutout to our then boss now lifelong friend, Martine), and it just felt right.
We kept pulling pints together until 2021, when we packed up and moved to Sheffield (well… Rotherham, but close enough) to start our “grown-up” jobs. Since then, we've added one house, one very precious dog, and roughly 4,000 terrible jokes to our life together.
And now? We’re getting married... Finally!
