<\/a><\/h2>\nAlexandra and Simon<\/h2>\n
Alexandra (LLB 2003)<\/span> a solicitor met her Husband Simon (MBBCh 2005)<\/span> a GP in October 2000 when\u00a0they both lived\u00a0in Talybont South.<\/p>\n ‘Simon lived in the flat below me, I was studying law he was studying medicine.\u00a0 We first encountered each other after I broke a glass and started hoovering outside his room at 2am in the morning, he came out to complain as he had an anatomy exam later that day.\u00a0It still took us a year to finally get together as a couple and we married in 2006.<\/p>\n ’11 years\u00a0and two children later we are still very happy.\u00a0Neither of us are from the Wales area, but Cardiff University and a broken glass brought us together! We still share fond memories of Cardiff University and the nights out in the Students’ Union.’<\/p>\n Esther (BA 2012,\u00a0MA 2013, PhD-)<\/span> and Sam (BA 2011)<\/span> met\u00a0in their first few weeks in Cardiff, 8 years later they are now married and still living in the city today where Esther\u00a0now works for\u00a0Cardiff University and Sam works for\u00a0a charity working with students who want to share their faith on campus.<\/p>\n ‘I came to Cardiff University\u00a0in 2008 and\u00a0met Sam within the first couple of weeks through the Christian Union Society,\u00a0we\u00a0 soon fell into the same friendship group. We spent a lot of time together and\u00a0became best friends. I liked him pretty early on, but it became apparent that I was just a friend – a good friend, but a friend nevertheless\u00a0to him.<\/p>\n ‘When I went on my year abroad, Sam realised that he missed me, that he really missed me. He talked to his mum (the best thing a guy can do), and when I came back for Christmas he told me that he wanted to spend his life with me.<\/p>\n ‘When I came back from France we made it official, getting engaged and then married in October 2012 . We are realising more about love and about each other everyday, but we are so grateful for those years of friendship at Cardiff University nearly a decade ago.’<\/p>\n Harriett a communications manager (BA 2010, PGDip 2011)<\/span> met Andrew a pharmacist\u00a0(MPharm 2011)<\/span> on her first day at Cardiff University in 2007.<\/p>\n ‘I met my husband, Andrew Kings, on my first day at Cardiff University on 20 September 2007. We were in the same halls in House 24, Talybont South. We hit it off straight away, but as flatmates we didn’t want to make things awkward for our friends, so we kept our relationship a secret for about nine months. We stayed together the whole way through our time at Cardiff University and last July, almost nine years after meeting, we got married in Cardiff. I am from near Brighton originally and Andrew was born in Bassaleg, but we love Cardiff and now live here\u00a0together in Roath.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Katka (MA 2008)\u00a0<\/span>and Phillipp live and work in Prague as attorneys, they were both international students coming to study at Cardiff University\u00a0when they fell in love.<\/p>\n ‘I met my husband at Cardiff airport, I was doing my master course in European Studies and International Relations, Phillipp\u00a0was an Erasmus student\u00a0coming to Cardiff University to study\u00a0law. We met on 21 September\u00a0\u00a02006 at Cardiff airport on our very first day, when we were waiting for the bus to campus and it was love at first sight. We have been together ever since having got married two years ago, we now have a daughter together Emilia.\u2019<\/p>\n Georgie (BA 2012)<\/span> a recruitment consultant met Matt (BSc 2013)<\/span> an accountant when they both worked in the Students’ Union Bar.<\/p>\n \u2018I was a Team Leader and to my embarrassment, the other Team Leaders would send Matt over to work on my bar. Trying to play it cool, I gave Matt the awful jobs of washing the floor and taking the bins down. However one post work party, in the romantic backdrop of Live Lounge, Matt asked if I wanted one of the Live Lounge premium \u00a32 cocktails and the rest is history. How could any girl refuse an offer like that?’<\/p>\n Ed (BSc 2006, MA 2007)<\/span> met Kate ( BA 2005, MA 2010)<\/span> on his first day in Halls in 2002. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n ‘Kate was the first person I met on my first day at Talybont South. We became good friends but nothing more! If you’d have asked our friends then if we’d end up married they’d have laughed out loud, but a spare ticket to Wales v Scotland six nations in 2010 and, it’s fair to say, one or two beers would change all that.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/h2>\nEsther and Sam<\/h2>\n
