Where did you meet
I work for Linley And Simpson letting agent in Wetherby. Karl needed somewhere to rent when he sold his house and I showed him around the flat he then rented. He asked me out on a date when he came to collect the keys.

What attracted you to him?
He absolutely swept me off my feet and has made me feel so special every day since.
