Our Story
David and Millie first crossed paths in 2020, during the midst of the pandemic. Despite the restrictions in place, they quickly formed a connection, though their official dating journey had to wait until early 2021 when the world began to open up again.
In late 2021, Millie took a leap of faith and moved to Essex to be closer to David, marking a new chapter in their relationship. As they settled into life together, both embarked on their own exciting ventures—David establishing his business in digital marketing and Millie launching her pet care company.
It wasn't until David & Millie visited Ripple Court did they realise it was only a few minutes away from Deal where they got engaged two years prior.
