How we met
Selma had planned a Prosecco & Paint day with two friends. When one had to cancel, she mentioned she knew someone new to Ireland who might like to come instead. That someone was Ali.
For Selma, it felt a little strange to invite a complete stranger. So, she asked around, but one friend had COVID and another was busy with a birthday. So, with a mix of hesitation and curiosity, Selma said yes.
That day, we met for the first time over canvases, paintbrushes, and a slightly wonky giraffe or two. What was meant to be a casual afternoon turned into something unexpectedly warm. And that’s how our story began...

The proposal
We were in Antalya, at a beautiful restaurant. The plan was simple, or so Selma thought. She was expecting nothing more than a lovely dinner.
But Ali had something else in mind.
He asked the question that would change everything.
With a heart full of love and a big, smiling yes, we stepped into forever.
This is our story, and we’re so happy to share it with you.
