In 2020, amidst the solitude of the pandemic, Tamara found herself perusing a dating app when Paul’s profile stopped caught her eye. His bio was refreshingly original, featuring the quip: “You know I like you if….I tell you before I Irish goodbye”

Charmed by his wit, Tamara sent him a message.

Their initial meetup was a meticulously arranged event due to the strict lockdown rules, which limited social gatherings to just ten people. They chose the Dolphin Hotel for their venue, a place known for its fun atmosphere and black and white checkered floors.

The conversation flowed so naturally, and Paul unexpectedly began to sprinkle Arabic phrases into their dialogue—phrases he’d picked up during a stint in Qatar. Amused, she listened as he fumbled through greetings and basic questions, his pronunciation a charming mix of endearing and nonsensical.

The date was a fantastic success, leaving both Tamara and Paul with a memorable evening that sparkled with laughter and genuine connection.

Two years later, in 2022, on a cold August night, standing on a bridge over a river (that shimmered a peculiar shade of guacamole green) Paul knelt and proposed to Tamara. Overjoyed, she accepted, ready to embark on their shared future together.
