Well, it was Victoria who took some donuts as a gift to Waterstones store after they had some conversations. Their 1st date was at a cocktail bar and then, the couple was a relationship for 2.5 years. Later, he proposed Victoria at their London flat. Now, the couple is happily married! They enjoyed a week long honeymoon in Cambridgeshire and Brighton.
