For Riley, everything began with a casual message from a friend: “I know someone who would be perfect for you.” And she was right.

​

From the very first conversation, Riley and Shaun clicked. What started as a simple introduction quickly became easy, natural conversation that felt familiar almost immediately.

​

As they spent more time talking, they discovered something extraordinary. For years, they had been moving in the same circles, working the same events at the same time, often just steps apart, but in different roles and different places. Their paths had overlapped again and again, without ever quite crossing.

​

When they finally did meet, it felt less like chance and more like timing. It was as though the moment they had both been moving toward had quietly arrived.

​

Since then, they have built a beautiful life together. A home in Liverpool, their dog Pickle, and more than six years of partnership filled with laughter, resilience, and shared adventure.

​

Now, they begin this next chapter as husband and wife with the same intention they bring to every day: to love one another fully, to support each other without hesitation, and to continue choosing each other in all the moments still to come.
