As with many modern day love stories, we met online back in August 2024, because let’s be honest, with five children between us, full time jobs and being old(ish), where else were we going to meet. We had our first date after three days, were an official item a week later and Dan declared his love for me two days later! After many dating disasters I took a bit longer to be sure!

During the first few months we completed on our new houses, Dan spontaneously bought a puppy, we enjoyed a break to Norfolk and it was very clear that this was something special.

Introducing our children, families and friends was an important step and it has been lovely for both of us to be so accepted and welcomed.

To continue on in the modern theme of things we will be starting married life living apart in our respective homes, as logistically this works best for us and our children. Also this may be the recipe for a long and happy marriage!!

You have been invited to celebrate with us as you are someone we hold dear and who will hopefully be part of our future together as Mr and Mrs Welch.
