In so many way we’re polar opposites. James is introverted by nature, preferring to spend time by himself, with his own thoughts and not doing anything too risky. Whether this is reading, listening to a podcast or heading for a run.

Matthew and I are the result of a blind date. My identical twin sister set me up with this mystery man she had met through a friend. After a lot of convincing by her, I reluctantly went on a date. We absolutely hit it off and the rest they say is history.

We met at a mutual friend’s wedding (Tim’s best man and one of Jess’ bridesmaids). Jess had actually been living in the UK at the time and came back for the wedding.

Ernie and I met in Auckland, 2 months before my 30th birthday which I was going to be heading to Argentina to celebrate. Ernie is from Argentina so when I told him that I was heading there he was super excited and suggested all these places for us to go.

Chris and I met by a very weird chance at the gym. No, he was not a personal trainer, and nor was I a regular gym attendee.

We met in high school in the good old days of MSN messenger and flip phones, and it’s been a whirlwind 12 years since then. Who knew my first boyfriend would also be my last?

We first met in high school through our youth group 10 years ago. What started as a cheeky and playful friend-ship in high school developed into a relationship by our first year of university, and before we knew it, Ben was down on one knee, 9 years later!
