We first met in central London on 2nd August 2023 and started talking to each other, getting to know each other over the phone everyday, sometimes speaking for 3 hours at a time. Then I made the first move by asking Zubaida out on a proper date on the 12th August over in Covent gardens where we spoke even more and became even closer.

We first met on 2 August 2023 on a beautiful sunny afternoon. I remember thinking, “Let’s see what this man has to say!” 😊
From the moment we started talking, I knew there was something different about David. He was open, honest and easy to talk to, and before long he’d asked me out on a proper date.
I have to admit—I was incredibly nervous! Probably more nervous than I’ve ever been meeting anyone. But as soon as we sat down together, all those nerves disappeared. Conversation flowed effortlessly, and I felt completely relaxed, as though we’d known each other for much longer. Looking back, saying “yes” to that date was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Picking just one favorite memory is difficult because we’ve shared so many wonderful moments together. But one that always makes us smile is a trip to an Italian restaurant.
We ended up laughing so much over a silly joke that we completely forgot everyone else was there. It felt like the restaurant disappeared and it was just the two of us, laughing until our cheeks hurt. Those are the moments I treasure most—when the simplest things become the happiest memories.

My most memorable date with Zubaida, was when I took her out of London over to Southend in Essex in the hot summer in 2023. Where we explored the town together and spent hours just sitting on a bench in large flowery garden holding hands and talking about the future for hours.
What’s your favourite thing to do together?
Our favourite thing to do together is going on our daily walk together and leave our phones at home. Where we walk for over an hour just talking about everything going on in our lives and any future plans, checking on each other and reflecting on ourselves and reassuring each other on how it is all going, with no distractions, just the two of walking together in peace enjoying each other’s company.

Where are you off to for your honeymoon?
We have not decided yet but it will be the mystery of our love and commitment to each others hearts. It will be an exciting start to our long marriage of happiness, love and joy and our honeymoon will last forever from the day we are married.
