In their own words

How did your relationship progress?

Alexandra: Over the next few weeks Peter and I kept emailing each other and eventually he asked me to meet up with him. I had my reservations at first, worried about safety and what exactly I would say to someone I had never met. Then, very randomly, I went to a wedding in Hockley Heath and the wedding photographer was... Peter. I couldn't believe it! I didn't go and say hello but watched from afar, as soon as I got home I text him to say that I would love to meet up.
Peter: After being together for a year and a half, on Alex's birthday after a day in Warwick I had arranged a surprise night at a hotel called Coombe Abbey where just before dinner I walked her round to the old moat and proposed to her.
