Meg first saw Chris while she was on stage at the Manchester Tech Festival back in October 2022,
Meg gave Chris a follow on Twitter (before it became terrible!) and dropped her a modern-day classic love opener of:
“Are you hiring?”
As it turns out Chris wasn't hiring, but they found lots to talk about once they realised they were in the same Discord server already. It wasn't long until something had began to spark.
You'd think the rest of this story would be straight forward from there when Meg asked Chris out for a coffee. But it turns out Chris thought it was just a casual networking catch-up, missing Meg's smooth romantic intentions. Thankfully, like the perfect wingwoman that she is, Jess suggested Meg give Chris a clearer hint.
Other than a small issue with restaurant bookings that first date went so well it quickly escalated and during
Chris's election campaign, Meg started spending more and more time in Ancoats. They created a group on WhatsApp;
filling it with old and new friends to organise nights out on Canal Street and Eurovision parties. Chris even
managed to lure Meg into delivering Lib Dem propoganda leaflets.
All in all it meant Meg spent even more time in Manchester and they both quickly went from
“getting to know you” to “we're building a life together here”.
In August 2024 Meg moved from Crewe to Ancoats, Chris moved across a canal to the other bank! But most importantly Meg and Chris moved into their current place together. starting the next phase of their life, making it their home and a place for all of their friends to regularly gather and share with them.
For Meg's birthday in 2025, Chris booked a weekend away in Whitby. Over dinner on Saturday 14th June 2025, they discussed whether or not now was the time to actually do it, and get married. They agreed to go to the beach to propose to each other. Finding the tide in, they went out to the jetty, each got down on a knee and asked the other the question. They both said yes!
