JO & DAVID
Tell me how you first met? Who what when where why?
We met in our lab (how boring?) as we did our PhDs in the same place, both studying computational biology.
Where was your first date?
We were good friends first. Our first ‘date’ (accidental) was at a biochemistry conference in the USA when we went out without our lab colleagues.
Tell me about the proposal, (did you see it coming, how long was it in the planning, how did you feel, nervous, excited, freaking out?)
One day Dave (whilst drunk) said he wanted to marry me. Then 2 years later (whilst drunk again) we chose a date for it to happen.
Tell me one thing that you love most about each other.
David: Jo’s positivity, she is always happy even when things don’t go exactly as expected, and this has meant she’s been able to rise above many challenges that others would have given up on.
Jo: David is determined but still empathetic - so whilst he is driven and wants to succeed whether in his career and sport, it will never be at the detriment of others.
Besides getting married, what is the one thing that you are looking forward to the most on your wedding day?
We are looking forward to having everyone we love in one place (and also the hog roast!).
