It all started when Zy joined my place of work at IRIS, she joined my team and I was given the task of training her on the system we support. As we got to know each other more, we found we had a number of things in common, but mainly it was our music taste. It was a trip to a work conference that allowed us to spend some time together and chatted all evening. We continued to talk on messenger, before I plucked up the courage to take her out for drinks for her birthday. And that is when our journey together started. After 6 years of love and laughter, we are excited to celebrate our wedding day surrounded by friends and family.
It was the day before my 40th Birthday and Zy knew I was going to propose, but just didn't know when (I had to keep some suspense). We'd gone away for the weekend to a Glamping Site, and Zy had just put Gabriele to bed. I'd got the bubbly out and glasses as we were about to relax in the hot tub and waited outside the hut. As Zy stepped out with the moon behind me I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.....spoiler alert....she said yes.
