Beth & Tom’s story.

We met back in November of 2016 when we were both just 19. I tagged along with my friend to a work drinks event for the bar that she worked at and the only spare seat was next to Tom. I struck up a conversation with him and we instantly got along and laughed the entire night. From there we just continued chatting as friends and spending time together and thought nothing of it until a couple months down the line when we realised we had well and truly fallen in love with each other! It really was so effortless and unexpected and just felt so natural. 5 years later we had bought our first home together and just put up our first Christmas tree that day; a moment we had dreamt of since first meeting (as we are both big big big Christmas lovers). That evening Tom went to pick up takeaway for dinner, but really he had gone to pick up the ring from his sister’s house. He came home as I was feeding the dog and asked me to come into the living room to look for a new ornament he had put on the tree. I walked over and saw an ornament that read ‘Beff, will you marry me?’ and turned to see him on one knee. It was so surreal that I just cried and cried for a minute and a half before eventually answering his question. Needless to say, my answer was yes.
