✨ 4 years today✨I forever hear my couples love stories so today I thought I’d share mine - Amy & Matthew 💛
Who would have thought that being randomly placed next to each other at a food tasting night would change my life forever. We didn’t speak again for months, until fate brought us back together during lockdown #3 (early 2021)— him in the kitchen cooking meals, me out delivering them. From there, friendship quietly grew, & then, after a whirlwind of life happening, he asked me to be his girlfriend 17.09.21, evidently I said yes.
Our first date was my famous tuna & sweetcorn pancakes, a childhood favourite of mine that he was brave enough to try. (If you haven’t tried, I urge you to do so). Our first trip away was to the Derbyshire Dales, where we watched the perfect sunset melt into the mountains. With our first family adventure “to see the Queen” with 3 kids under 9 in tow, which was when I really knew this was something special.
From FaceTimes while he is away on the rigs, to Mondays becoming our new Saturday nights due to working weddings, forever planning the next adventure, ticking off our 60 year bucket list! Our life has been & is anything but ordinary. With 3 amazing and insanely adored kids. From frustratingly living out of suitcases before we lived together - to eagerly packing one ready for our next big adventure! 🌎
We’ve travelled to some of the most beautiful places together — Maldives, Japan, Greece, Dubrovnik, Bruges, Paris and soon Tenerife & India. We’ve laughed, celebrated & made countless memories, yet as well we’ve also faced huge sadness. Losing my beloved grandma, my second mum earlier this year highlighted even more so how precious life is.
Our life is the most beautiful madness — full of adventures, sometimes laughable chaos, joy, tears, & love. When I first met Matthew, I told him I’d manifested him. And it’s true. He is everything I ever dreamt of, even as a child. 4 years on, nothing has changed — I still feel like the luckiest girl alive. I will forever believe in soulmates & love stories… because we are living proof.
My sounding advice…. “be with someone you choose to sit next to in a room full of people you know” 💛
