James and Emma met at the Chase High School in Malvern. After trying various strategies to spend more time with Emma (joining both the drama groups she went to, casting her in a short film, signing up for a school trip to Belgium), James finally asked her out in November 2011 and they have been together ever since.
In the 12 (and a bit) years we’ve been together we’ve faced many challenges, such as going to different universities, doing a PhD during a pandemic, and being friends with Chris Vickers. But these have been far outweighed by the myriad of fun times we’ve had over the years such as our yearly holidays with our friends from Malvern, performing in improv shows together and hosting our annual February party.
