Bruna and Dylan met on dating app Hinge, after the usual cheesy chat up lines and a few weeks of conversation they decided to meet up at Four Thieves in Clapham. “After that night, we have spent every day together,” shares Bruna. “After six months of dating the dreaded Covid lockdown started and we made the decision to move in together, which was a leap of faith! Luckily, we survived the trial very early in the relationship and have been going strong since then.” Bruna was attracted to Dylan's kindness and how easy it was to talk to him. “From the moment I met him it was like we had known each other our whole lives. I know its cheesy when they say when you meet the one you know, but that is it, I just knew after a few hours of meeting him.” Dylan adds, “I was attracted to Bruna's Latina flair and
personality that made me both excited and nervous – a good combination on a first date! She was very easy to talk to – the wine definitely helped – and we just connected instantly, it felt like we had known each other our whole lives too.”

Meeting on a night out in Bath during their University days, Hannah and Ben's first date was a few weeks later where they chatted for hours about every topic under the sun. “Ben said his dance moves must have attracted me to him,” laughs Hannah. “I think it was his sense of humour and kind nature that I saw, once I got to know him better on our subsequent dates. Talking to him was easy and we quickly became best friends!”

Ben says that he loved Hannah's confidence and how fun she was. “He liked my caring nature, but also my more adventurous side, which he quickly discovered on our dates,” adds Hannah. “He says that he was so keen, he
started telling everyone we were together before he'd even asked me properly. Luckily, I felt the same and found it quite funny!”

Fae and Joe met through mutual friends and were instantly attracted to each other. Their fondness grew, and they agreed to go on their first date at a beautiful pub in Surrey.

After a few years together, Joe popped the question. “We were on Burgh Island in Devon,” shares Fae. “I was pregnant with our second baby, so I was a bit confused as to why he was making me trek up a hill, but when I got to the top, it all made sense as it was the most beautiful day with breathtaking views. I was really surprised when Joe asked me to be his wife, but I couldn't have been happier.”

Ellie and Jonny met through Jonny's former flatmate, who just so happened to be Ellie's childhood best friend. “I spotted that Ellie was on a dating app and dropped her a message,” says Jonny. “She was on holiday with our mutual friend at the time who thought we would probably have a few dates, but it wouldn't become anything serious. That friend ended up as one of our bridesmaids and was very happy to be proven wrong.”

Jonny had planned to propose under Victoria Falls during a romantic holiday in South Africa, but due to COVID-19, the trip got cancelled a week before they were due to leave. “I decided to re-create the idea in England,” shares the groom. “We booked properties through Airbnb on the south coast for a week. It was boiling, but I had the ring in my coat pocket, so I couldn't take it off as I didn't want Ellie to find it. I was planning to stop at a bench overlooking the sea where Ellie's grandparents used to live on the last day of our trip but the day before lockdown hit! We headed back to London, and I knew I had one last chance to propose, so we went on a walk in the New Forest, where I found a lovely hill overlooking the countryside. I got down on one knee, and she said yes!”
