Corinne & Ben: In the beginning

Corinne puts her first meeting with Ben down to lucky timing. “A musician friend invited me to one of his gigs (even though I didn’t really fancy a night out) and as we caught up over drinks, he asked why I was single and what kind of guys I liked,” she explains. “Just at that moment, an attractive dark haired guy crossed the bar in front of me and I said ‘…well, he’s nice’.” It turned out that Corinne’s attractive man was also in a band – and actually headlining that night – so her friend swiftly started a bit of matchmaking behind the scenes. “We were introduced at the end of the night and, although Ben had to rush off (his car was parked on a double yellow and the bassist was standing guard!), he asked me on a date and the rest is history.”
