John’s version Don’t believe what you’re told, obviously general friendliness and hospitable Northern roots meant I was bound to invite the next-door neighbour. I had a group of friends over, BBQ fired up and ready to go, the smoke is blowing into the doors of the flat next door, so the immortal words of “Hi, you either come and join us or shut the doors” started the whole ball rolling. Just pot luck that it happened to be a stunning blonde, who’d have figured that!! If only I’d known then that she’d stalk me, leave messages on Post-it notes, analyse my handwriting with friends and interpret my replies for hidden meanings….maybe I would have shied away. Or maybe not. From then on it was pure accident that we kept bumping into one another. |

| Mel’s version I suspect that John will try and convince you that I stalked him for months, but I must put the records straight. If anyone did the stalking it was John, as I hadn’t even noticed my next door neighbour until he knocked on the door one day to invite me to a BBQ on the communal gardens that we shared. However, it was a Saturday night and I was sitting in watching Pop Idol, and despite being glued to the TV, I thought, why not go and get to know my neighbours! I was instantaneously impressed that John could actually cook, and his friends seemed really nice. Our dating didn’t start too well. John got food poisoning on our first date from the seafood (not my cooking), and on our second date we went to the cinema but the only film we wanted to see was the very-unromantic Kill Bill. Still, love did blossom and here we are about to get married! |
