How we found each other
Our story
From a Teams meeting to a lifetime of adventures.
Shaun is thoughtful, kind and quietly funny, with a natural ability to make the people around him feel at ease. Rebekah is warm, curious and full of energy, always ready for an adventure and never short of a story.
Their paths first crossed through work, beginning with a business connection and a Teams meeting—hardly the most romantic of beginnings! Interestingly, they had actually appeared on a panel together a whole year before they were officially introduced, which made them wonder how little attention they had been paying at the time.
Eighteen months later, they finally met face-to-face at a corporate event. What started as a professional introduction quickly became something neither of them had expected. It felt as though each had found the right person, in the right place, at exactly the right time—as though they had always been destined to find each other in this lifetime.
“The right person, in the right place, at exactly the right time.”
What Shaun loves most about Rebekah is her warmth, her sense of adventure and the way she brings joy to even the simplest moments. What Rebekah loves most about Shaun is his kindness, his calm nature and the way he makes her feel completely supported and understood. She also noted that he is “very easy on the eye”.
Some people say that, over time, couples start to morph into each other, and perhaps that is true for Shaun and Rebekah. They have certainly picked up each other’s habits, phrases and ways of seeing the world. Somewhere along the way, there have even been a few questionable additions to their vocabulary—they wonder how many of their guests know what a cagoule is!
One of their favourite promises came early in their relationship. Shaun once told Rebekah that, one day, he would buy her a rocking chair and that they would sit there together, looking back fondly on their life and remembering everything they had done and everywhere they had been. Rebekah has never forgotten that promise and fully intends to hold him to it.
So perhaps this is more than just a wedding. It is the beginning of the next chapter on their journey towards that rocking chair: a life filled with adventures, stories, laughter, a few Brummie phrases and, hopefully, plenty of memories worth looking back on.
For now, they are making one of those memories in beautiful Montenegro, surrounded by the people they love most.
