  Stacey & Bernard



About Stacey

Stacey is a very friendly and active girl whose hobbies include socialising with her friends and the occasional glass of wine with the girlies. I enjoy my family life and cherish every moment with them. Bernard has given me the best thing in the world, my daughter Jaiden and his love.


About Bernard

Bernard's finally found a career path that suits his lifestyle working 8-5 Monday - Friday. Bernard spent many years working as a security guard in Credit Suisse, Canary Wharf where he worked shifts. His main interests are playing basketball and spending quality time with our daughter Jaiden.


How They Met

Stacey and Bernard had known each other for 5 years whilst working in Credit Suisse. Stacey and Bernard always spoke but never had any feelings for each other. When one of Bernard's colleagues left his job in Credit Suisse Stacey and Bernard attended the leaving drinks. We had such a giggle laughing about various different people (as you do) and realised we both had the same sense of humour. After the leaving drinks Bernard used to visit Stacey in the office whilst she was working to talk and laugh. One day Bernard left his wallet on Stacey's desk and when she went to get breakfast from the restaurant she placed Bernard's wallet in her bag. Stacey was not around when Bernard wanted to get his wallet so he took it out of her bag and left his telephone number for me to call him. When Stacey called Bernard we spent hours on the phone laughing and joking. After several conversations over the phone we decided to meet up after work and go out shopping etc. After several outings our relationship started.


The Proposal

It was Stacey's 22nd birthday and there was lots of sneaking around and whispering so she knew something was going on. Bernard arranged for us to go for a quiet meal and we travelled to Stratford and the restaurant was closed. Stacey decided to go to Blackheath where they decided to eat in the Laughing Buddha. Stacey ruined Bernards proposal so he handed her the ring and said if we are going to get married we will do it properly and handed her the ring.
