Our story began in Dubai’s golden glow,
Where Mollie arrived with ambition in tow.
Just weeks after landing (bags barely put down),
Sam popped up and instantly turned life around.
But just as they planned their romantic first date,
Dubai went on lockdown – impeccable fate.
Still, Garden on Eight opened its doors,
And laughter spilled out across socially distanced floors.
No violins playing, no candles in sight,
Just global uncertainty – but everything right.
That first night was magic (though not by design),
And somehow they knew things would only align.
Fast-forward to years filled with chaos and cheer,
Dog walks, adventures, and holidays near.
They bought their dream home – where pink sets the tone,
And Bettie and Bobbie now run the whole home.
Life unfolded sweetly, with laughter nonstop,
From quiet nights in to trips over the top.
And one birthday trip brought the biggest surprise –
A moment that sparkled like Maldives skies.
A life full of laughter, support, and mischief,
Perfectly imperfect, yet beautifully sweet.
And now off to Umbria, vows ready to say –
That not even lockdown could stand in love’s way.
