our story

Once upon a time, not so long ago (we're talking June 2022, people!), two hopeless romantics named Amy and Dave cast their lines into the virtual sea of love, known to many as "Plenty of Fish." Little did they know, they were about to catch something extraordinary.

A few flirty messages later, the chemistry was bubbling. We decided to meet up at a local bar. The night was magical. Amid laughter and a bit of liquid courage, Dave won Amy heart and to that end a second date! Dave may have come home late that night, but it was for a good reason.

From trips across the world to family moments, we’ve packed our days with adventures, laughter and smiles all round too.
