Back In August 2015, James visited Arranmore Island, County Donegal (where Darren is from) with a group of friends as their friend Erin has family from the island. On their second-to-last night, the 8th August 2015, Darren and his friends decided to stop and give a group of Mancunians (including James) a lift to the pub. In true island style, everyone jumped in, leaving the car over max capacity. James ended up sitting on Darren's knee for the short journey and they spent the rest of the night getting to know each other. This would become the start of a two year long-distance relationship In 2017, Darren made the big move to Manchester where they have since built their lives together. After 7 and a half years together, during a road trip around Iceland, Darren surprised James with a proposal at their last stop - Reynisfjara Black Sand Beach. Now, exactly 10 years on from the date they first met, they are walking down the aisle to marry and celebrate their next chapter together! They can't wait to celebrate with you!
