Where did you meet? We met at university, Chris was in his last year and had chosen to be a senior student for new students in halls of residence. Chris was my senior student and did a good job of looking after me in my first year!
Where did he propose? It was more a discussion that a proposal, neither of us really like romance. We knew that we didn’t want to ever be apart and that we want to spend the rest of our lives together so it just made sense.
Where did you get married? Bakewell registry office. Chris being from America hasn’t seen much of the UK and when I took him for a drive around the Peak District he just fell in love with the whole area.
