HE ASKED SHE SAID YES!
The proposal
The story
We all love the back story, so here it is January 18th 2018, Hannah and Johnny met at University both completing a bridging course to get into their degrees Hannah said “We had different partners at the time but eventually the time came around in Feb 2023 that we were both single at the same time and he started messaging me on Instagram” Very smooth Johnny! Fast track to March 2023 and they started dating and moved in together. The rest you could say is history
A beautiful Summer’s day set the scene for the right time to ask those important four little words “Will you marry me”. On January 18th, nervous Johnny took Hannah out for a walk where it all started back in the Summer of 2018 and popped the question. Without hesitation, Hannah said YES! We are beyond excited for the happy couple and can’t wait to see Hannah enter her bridal era as they plan for the big day.
"We became good friends doing all the same classes at uni” - Hannah
