Gabriel James Hart
and
Rosalind Ellis

We met in a crowded bookshop on a rainy afternoon, both reaching for the last copy of the same novel, never imagining that a shared umbrella would be the start of forever. From that very first conversation, something felt different, and it was not long before we knew we had found something rare.

Ours has never been a simple love story. We built a life one small adventure at a time — Sunday markets, late-night cooking experiments and far too many train journeys. We cheered each other on through new jobs, new cities and every milestone in between, and whenever we could, we found ways to see the world side by side.

Last spring, we travelled to the Lake District to celebrate Rosalind’s birthday — or so she thought. At the top of a quiet hillside at sunset, Gabriel asked her to marry him, and she turned around to find our family and friends there, having kept the secret all along.

After every chapter we have written together, we are finally ready to become husband and wife, and we cannot wait to celebrate with the people we love most.
