Although we were from the same town, he had moved away years ago. I had seen him about Banbury town though so although we hadn’t officially met when we were talking online, we weren’t complete strangers.

It took a little while, but we eventually got chatting every day and then texting and decided to finally meet in Banbury.  He met me at the train station and I was so nervous I had already pretty much downed half a bottle of vodka! See me and Vanien are quite simple folk we don’t need fancy restaurants etc. we love our music and it was a beautiful day so we thought for our first date we would go and sit in a field listening to punk music drinking cider… We were also wearing Christmas hats in the middle of summer, it was love!

With stunning photography from Jonas Seaman, “Our photos were almost as important as the gown to me.explains Katie, “I wanted some amazing photos to have to be able to show our children and grandchildren one day and to say we got amazing photos is a vast understatement.

My husband, Geoff, and I met through MySpace in 2008. He added me as a friend and I’m not one to just accept requests from people I don’t personally know so I emailed him and politely asked who he was and he said he saw that I was into Volkswagens, I had worked for a Volkswagen dealership at the time, and that struck his interest. He said I was pretty and he wanted to get to know me.  We exchanged emails for a while and then moved to talking on the phone and finally decided to meet.  He worked for an auto parts retailer and I decided to go there after work one day and I immediately knew he was something special. Talking to him on the phone I had an idea of what type of man he was and I was excited to get to meet him and see how he was in person. Later, he told me that I “intimidated” him when we first met because I was wearing high heels and looked professional, since I had just come from work, and that wasn’t something he was used to. We decided to get together after he got off work and we just spent the entire night talking. We first went to a local Mexican restaurant and then it got so late we ended up going to a 24-hour grocery store just so we could keep talking and hanging out, neither of us wanted to go home!
