Samantha & Alex

Big Day: 18 Jul 2009 • Countdown: 192 days

About Samantha

As its unfair for Sam to write about herself I am going to write about her:

Since going out with Sam I've started to notice how she can seem to always get her own way (she is getting me to marry her afterall.......). She is also utterly mad, and slightly childish, but that is what makes her unique and why I love her.

About Alex

As Alex wrote about me its only fair that I write about him.

Since I first started going out with Al he's grown into a 'man' being in the RAF has brought out the inner lad inside him - not always a bad thing. He's confident and cocky outside but inside he's sweet and caring (not that I would be allowed to admit that). I am looking forward to marrying him and moving in with him to start a life together.

How they met

The first time we met was at an air cadet camp back in 2001/mabye 2002 (we haven't been bothered to count!) Sam was 13 and Al was 14 - we kind of stayed in contact just the odd email here and there, seeing each other at cadet events.

In 2006 Sam moved to Castle Cary and Al was there as a FS, and we went to the cinema as MATES and got ripped into because apparently we went on a date (which we hadn't) but because of Ami (Al's sister) we did end up going out with each other the night afterwards!

The proposal

We had been talking about it for a while - because we had been talking about possibly moving in together.

Al whispered to Sam that did she want to get married, we were up in Newcastle in a really nice hotel. We went shopping for a ring the day after and went out for a really nice meal.
