When you get to marry your best mate.
I’ve known Ant for almost 20 years now, and have seen the absolute rollercoaster that’s been his life. From selling e-cigarettes out of his car boot, to riding an eclectic scoter to work every day because he lost his licence. The highs and oh boy… the lows.
And to be honest, I really did question whether he would ever find “the girl”. He seemed too crazy to ever settle down. But he did have one or two redeeming qualities, at least.
It was in 2021 that he told me he’d started talking to Emma. He was uncharacteristically loved up. We knew Emma from school, and that she was smart, beautiful and driven. After giving it all of 5 seconds thought, I knew she would be perfect for him. It was exactly the right time, place and situation – the universe got it’s way.
In April of 2024 I watched him bawl his eyes out as they got married. Best day ever!
“I never thought I was supposed to fall in love the way that I did with you. Nobody was going to be able to handle me… I was too selfish, my humour was too dark and I was obviously far too sexy. But then I started bumping into you… At the open home, at the triathlon… How you stand out in a crowd of hundreds, how it was like there wasn’t another person there, I will never understand, outside of the fact that it was just well and truly always supposed to be you. And oh my god, is it you!!”
