Jen & Andy: Howzat!

Looking back on the first time they met, as students working in a bar at Headingley Cricket Stadium, Jen realises Andy was bowled over by her instantly. “It must have been love at first sight for Andy,” Jen explains, “as he allowed me to go for my lunch break first, which was an enormous gesture for him!”

Eight years later Andy surprised Jen by proposing on her 30th birthday on an idyllic Cornish beach before whisking her off for dinner at Rick Stein’s restaurant in Padstow. “It was perfect,” says Jen, “and worth the eight years of waiting!”
