Our Story

Our First Meet

Aug ’19: Sachintha swiped right for Hasina and Hasina returned the favour.

Our First Date

Sept ’19: The pair set themselves up for success by having their first date at the Temple. On that day, they started at Hare Krishna Mandir, with all the best Indian snacks from their shop, went to play footgolf in Stanmore (which we still don’t have the hang of), got carrots from Sainsbury’s to feed the deers. Hasina tried to race Sachintha but Sachintha lapped her and then went out for dinner. To this day, Hasina has to order food for Sachintha because on that day, she realised Sachintha has no interest in reading. The menu is one thing but this went on to not reading directions properly, leaving parking signs up to interpretation.

♥♥♥

Dating throughout the numerous lockdowns was good in a way. Once either of them committed to the journey Birmingham > Portsmouth, they had to make their miles worth it. I suppose now we can see how worth the miles are…THEY’RE MARRIED!

Sachintha’s Parents

Early on in the relationship, Hasina had the chance to meet Sachintha’s parents. Here, they welcomed her and showed love and calmness synonymous with Chin.

Hasina's Mamma

Mamma has extended her motherly love to Sachintha and ensured there to be a large box of olives and Passion Fruit juice to look forward to when in London. Has he mentioned he is an olive connoisseur?

Tusat Hasina's Brother

Hasina’s family welcomed Sachintha into the family, his shyness soon wore off and dropped the tie from his suit to a simple shirt and jeans. Tusat and Sachintha built their relationship through projects for the couple’s home in Hampshire, this was more character building in one another’s patience until a happy even of electricity was distributed in the house; Tusat the Electrician met Sachintha the IT Technician.

Sachintha’s Brother Danny

Sachintha’s brother, Danny, from New Zealand, is nothing short of a one-of-a-kind character. The 2 brothers have had eventful memories and when he arrived to Heathrow, it has just been event after event. While staying with us, he has helped us understand to enjoy the journey of life rather than it’s destination, and to be at peace with any decision we make.

Sachintha's Sister Binojie

Over the past few years, Sachintha’s sister, Binojie & Hasina have been getting to know each other and look forward to the day they meet. Binojie knows how to ignore Sachintha’s whingeing, (which Hasina could learn the secret to).

Family Dog, Mekong

In May 2020, the family dog, Mekong joined us. Mekong and Sachintha seek comfort in one another for cuddles. His encouragement to build confidence in her was all that Hasina wanted to see in her future Husband.
