Love Stories – Kristen and Gav
Like most modern couples, our newest Black Finch couple met online and it was love at first sight – both knew they had met their special match from the moment they met. Thank goodness for dating apps to unite the introverts of the world!
When did you know you had found your special person?
Kristen: When Gav messaged me just before our first date to let me know he was on his way, and then again to let me know he was running a few minutes late due to parking issues! Open communication from day one, respect and care! I knew he was special that moment.
Gav: From our 1st date!
How did the proposal go down?
We were having a picnic at a lovely reserve. Kristen was suspicious but nothing eventuated over lunch. We were just about to go home when Gav suggested a quick walk up a hill. It was there that he popped the question!
Favourite moment from your wedding?
Kristen: It was all magical! But I really loved the moment we entered the reception as husband and wife! It was like 'wow it is real!'
Gav: The whole day was perfect impossible to pick just one moment, but the champagne tower was great fun!
Can you share some words on your Black Finch experience?
Black Finch was part of our love story from early on! When Gav started making noises about maybe ring shopping, Kristen remembered this adorable jeweller near their first home together in westgarth. We always walked past it and looked into the windows in awe. So we went in and designed a beautiful ring together! We loved it so much we had both our wedding rings made by BF too. While engaged we also had a medical scare where we found out Kristen has a deadly allergy. We asked BF if they could make her a medical alert bracelet. They obliged and the final product was so beautiful Kristen wore this on our wedding day too! She also managed to wrangle some Vine hoops to top off the outfit. It was a very BF bridal look overall!
