hloe and Nick met at her brother’s wedding, where Nick was the DJ. ‘I remember this handsome, young man in a neat and tidy suit, and he made an awful attempt at pronouncing the groom’s last name to introduce my brother and sister-in-law,’ says Chloe. ‘To be fair, it is difficult, but he made an effort.’ Her first impression of Nick was that he took his DJ business seriously, but that there was also a giant kid inside who was quick with a smile and a laugh. ‘I also remember being horrified when he began to wind down the night and changed the music from stereo to mono. He was shocked that I even recognised the difference and was quite put out – even though he still tells everyone I first liked him for his mad DJ skills.’ As the night went on, Chloe asked Nick for his Facebook page. He thought she was a fan of his DJing but instead of just liking his page, she added him as a friend and they immediately got talking. ‘I thought Chloe was a successful and super important person (like a lawyer or something),’ recalls Nick. ‘It was the way she held herself and how she could carry a conversation. She was super intelligent and personable. We got along instantly.’
