How they met
20/10/2001 - Hayley was on a girlie night out and Mark was out celebrating his 20th birthday with his friends. Both groups ended up at KC's nightclub in Birmingham town centre. Hayley bumped into her cousin Richard who happened to be with a group of mates from college including Mark. The club wasn't upto much and the girls wanted to leave early but Mark begged Hayley to stay. They chatted all night and exchanged numbers, Mark was a true gentleman and saw the girls into a taxi. When Hayley got home she recieved a txt message from mark saying 'Night night, sleep tight, hope the bed bugs do not bite' She began to txt back but Mark couldnt wait and called her while he was out walking Sabre the dog. They arranged to meet the next day and the rest is history, they haven't spent a day apart since.
The proposal
Christmas day 2003 - Thier first christmas in thier house together. Mark went out to the car, supposedly to get Hayley's christmas present that he was hiding in there. Hayley was to stand with her eyes shut. When she opened them Mark was down on one knee. Awwwwww!!!! Due to money being too tight to mention after buying their home together, they had not had a real holiday in their 7 years together so they began planning a holiday for August 2009. Mark being a true romantic, on the way to ASDA for the weekly shop asked Hayley whether they should make the holiday a honeymoon - and so here we are now!!!
