Meet the Lovejoys!
Stefan and Anya are newly married and about to embark on a week-long honeymoon on the Jurassic Coast, UK.
Originally, Stefan and Anya met in secondary school but with Stefan two years above Anya, the pair had few common friends and didn't much associate with each other. One summer before Stefan left for University when he was 18 and Anya was 16, the two merged friendship groups and started spending a lot more time together. That summer seemed to last forever - were Stefan and Anya falling in love? - unfortunately, circumstances were not of the youngsters' side as that September Stefan moved 300 miles away to University and Anya stayed in their hometown to go to college.
Fast forward three years... Anya has completed her first, exhausting year at university doing a Joint Honours Creative Writing and Drama degree. Meanwhile Stefan has finally finished his university experience having completed an extra year in police dog handling.
Now, three years after that summer, Anya and Stefan collide when they both return home... And it's like they've never been apart - three years older and wiser they know now that what they have is real and they're never letting it go.
Nine months later while on holiday for Anya's 20th birthday, Stefan proposes and Anya says YES! They agree to wait until Anya has finished university before they start planning their wedding but Anya can't help have flutters on websites and order magazines in the meantime. Anya's younger sister and Stefan's younger sister, Ellie and Iona are super excited and fully involved in the whole process.
Anya is 21 and Stefan 23 when the pair finally move in together and, six months later in the Autumn, they marry.
They have around 70 guests in a beautiful castle venue: http://www.farnhamcastle-weddings.co.uk/

Her "big" bridesmaids Ellie and Iona [both 18] wear the same dress: http://www.aislestyle.co.uk/bmz_cache/5/512cabcf3545392492eac1c26cf4887b.500x750.image.jpg
While "little" bridesmaid, Summer [Anya's 10 year old niece via her older brother, Wesley] wears: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a8/97/50/a8975022fec7d1e319f30652f3ef33e8.jpg
Stefan and Anya moved back to their home town into a cosy two-bed flat. He's working as dog-handler in the police force while Anya writes scripts for the local amateur dramatics society - it's not great money but in her spare time she's busily conducting her true passion - Young Adult fiction writing.
So far so good with married life (though it has only been a week!) The two are as madly in love as they have ever been and are holding onto that with both hands.
