Spring fling: love blossoms with the magic of monochrome

Briony & Tom: In the beginning

Briony first spotted Tom when she was searching for somewhere to live and he was living at one of the shares. “I didn’t take the room in the end but I did say to one of the other housemates ‘the guy in the white shirt is cute, if he’s single and interested I’d like to go for a drink with him’,” says Briony. “Tom got the message and we arranged a date although he was convinced I meant the other guy in the house so had him waiting in the wings in case they had to swap! Ironically, our first date was two days before Valentine’s Day and the receipt at the bar was printed with ‘will you marry me?’.”
