HOW DID YOU TWO MEET?
We go way back. First meeting – we would have to say probably the HIHO REDSTRIPE surf series on Josiah’s Bay back in the early 2000s when we were about 9 or 10 years old.
HOW DID YOU TWO GET ENGAGED?
We had been together for 8 or 9 years and we went to visit Nicola’s mother’s hometown of Chester in England. We were on a walk down the river with our two oldest sons and as we crossed one of the bridges out came a ring. Of course, the answer was an immediate YES.
