Last year, Chris met his fiancé Lisa on The Inner Circle. Chris is now ex-army, but when they started chatting he was about to be deployed. Unphased by the potential rift in their new-found friendship, they continued to chat, despite Chris barely being able to use his phone. As soon as he touched down in London they arranged a date, and it confirmed instantly what they already knew: they got on perfectly.

“She was so easy to talk to, her sense of humour was razor sharp and her eyes sparkled when she laughed”

They dated for a few months, enjoying each others company and really getting to know one another. Lisa even braved Christmas with Chris’ family that year. For Lisa’s 30th, Chris took her skydiving. He jumped first, and having landed in the rough had to sprint to greet her as she landed, throwing himself down onto one knee and proposing. Out from the bushes ran their friends, family, and lots of champagne.. Everyone was in on it.

What are they doing now?

Engaged to be married in August, the happy couple are enjoying planning their lives together. They never expected to meet the one on a dating app, but from the moment they met in real life they knew it was right.
