Our Story

Almost met

2014

Both went to see *Train* in Birmingham on the same night — “Hey, Soul Sister” playing in the air — but fate had other plans. They were in the same crowd, just *drops of Jupiter* apart.

The first message

July 2022

Eight years later, Krystal slid into Ali’s inbox — proving that sometimes, *love don’t cost a thing*. She made the first move, and she’s been *thinking out loud* about her ever since.

The first date

July 2022

A day of badminton, Nando’s, and the cinema — the moment they realised, *this will be (an everlasting love)*. Sparks flew faster than a shuttlecock.

Ed Sheeran at Wembley

14/02/2024

Before their first date, Krystal had already invited Ali to see Ed Sheeran live. Standing under the Wembley lights, *when your legs don’t work like they used to before*, they danced and laughed — and maybe fell a little in love.

Our First Month

August 2022

To mark one month together, Ali took Krystal alpaca walking — because *you can’t hurry love*, but you can walk it at alpaca speed.

Paris for Valentine’s

February 2023

Five months later, Krystal moved in, and suddenly *home was wherever I’m with you*. Takeout dinners, late-night laughter, and too many mugs later — it just fit.

First Proposal

April 2024

Ali got down on one knee — *I don’t wanna miss a thing* playing softly in her head — and Krystal said yes.

Full circle moment

November 2025

Ali travelled to the Philippines to meet Krystal’s family and friends. Surrounded by love, laughter, sun and sea Krystal proposed back — *cause baby, you’re all that I want*, and this time, they both said *I choose you*.
