How it all began

Hamilton Gardens

“I first started to think I might be falling for this girl, when we were in a carpark dropping off laundry, we were only going to be there a moment, but before taking the clothes in, Karis hopped out of the car and spoke to people who were sitting in a car we were blocking to ask if it was okay for us to be there or did they need to leave now? This and many other small acts of kindness showed me she was a special lady.”

“One of the reasons I started falling for him was because he would always hold my hand anywhere we went to show he would never let me go.“

— Karis

Karis & Rhys

Like many people in this modern world, we met online. After chatting for a week she invited me to join her for a drink (she got sick of waiting for me to ask!) We met at a restaurant, and talked for hours. She was kind and warm, and had a beautiful smile. We talked about a lot of things and found we had a lot in common, we both liked Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and anime. We both enjoy playing video games. We shared similar family values and world views. I was so nervous! She was gorgeous, and very kind and patient.

Our second date almost didn’t happen. A communication mishap almost led us to not see the movie we had agreed to see! But despite this, the movie date happened as promised. Rhys then invited himself to a fortnightly quiz I go to, and also, without it being discussed, committed himself to spending time with me every day. Him showing that I was a priority for him, made him quickly become a priority for me too!
