From Workmates to Soulmates: A Real Love Story

Their romantic journey began in 2018 at work, but it wasn’t exactly love at first sight. In fact, Josh wasn’t Charlotte’s favourite person in the beginning! However, after a year of working side by side, their connection naturally evolved into a genuine friendship. When Charlotte moved on from the job, Josh finally took a leap of faith and asked her out in May 2019 and that’s when their true love story began.


A Dream New York Proposal

In August 2023, Josh created the ultimate romantic proposal in New York City. On their first morning in the city, they visited the iconic Brooklyn Bridge Park. With breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, Josh chose the perfect proposal spot. Completely unexpected, filled with emotion, and set against one of the world’s most famous backdrops, it was a magical, once-in-a-lifetime moment.
