Bonding at Break Time - Genevieve & Josh

We met at our old job. It was my (Genevieve’s) first day of fulltime work as an accountant and we met at one of the morning/ afternoon tea breaks. We were in the same group at work and sat across from each other for the first year. We both felt an instant connection when we first met and knew we had to get to know each other better. We were just work friends for almost a year before we kissed one night at a bar and the rest is history!

Josh organized a picnic at Polperro Winery. He hadn’t made it obvious he was going to propose because he lied and said it was a Groupon deal! It was also unsuspecting because Josh is always doing sweet things like this! The whole time I was thinking of how good a Groupon deal it was haha. We got there early at around 12pm so there wasn’t anyone there yet and set up our picnic at a nice secluded spot near the water. We set up the picnic and then

he got the ring box out of his jacket pocket and proposed! It was better than I could have ever imagined but the beautiful picnic food went to waste because we both weren’t hungry after he popped the question – there was too much excitement!

We were engaged for 9 months – we were initially planning on getting married in September 2020 but Immerse had a deal on for a couple of Thursday dates towards the end of 2019 so we thought why not! We loved having a shorter engagement, it kept the excitement from the proposal going the whole way until the big day and wasn’t hard to plan within that timeframe at all.
