HOW THEY MET
“Alastair and I met on a dating website.
“After a couple of dates I was going to be moving house and he offered to help me with the move, as he had a trailer. Then he’d come round to my place for dinner a few nights a week and our relationship really went from there.”
“I lived at Anakie and he lived in Highton, so we weren’t too far apart distance-wise.”
PROPOSAL
“We got engaged about a year before we got married.
“We were in New Zealand and I thought he was acting a bit strange. It turned out he was building up the courage to ask me.”
“We flew back to Australia that day and he drove me to the top of Mount Anakie. After we were at the top he got down on one knee and proposed with the ring.
“I cried and I loved it.”
