About Us

We met on 19th January 2020 at Dakar airport, Senegal, waiting for transport to the Africa Mercy were we were both volunteering for two months.  COVID came and the two months turned into five before Irene returned to Canada and six before Nick returned to the UK.  We were reunited in the UK in August 2020 and apart from a few weeks at the end of the year have been together ever since.

Nick popped the question on Easter day 2021 and we have been making plans for the wedding ever since.  What better way to mark the occasion that a donation to Mercy Ships, the organisation which brought us together.
