Tomorrow marks 6 years since my boyfriend and I first kissed. I was 20 and he was 23. Only just… it happened at his birthday party.
We’d been friends for a little while having met at the beginning of the previous summer. We’d been working together at a cocktail bar & restaurant, I was a waitress and he was a chef. I had a huge crush on him from the very first time I saw him through the kitchen hatch!
I remember a mutual friend, who knew of my infatuation, picking me up and driving me to the party. He asked me if I thought anything would happen between me and Mr LA that night. I said no and not ever. I was convinced that he wasn’t interested in me, at least not in that way. I was just a mate who happened to be a girl.
Anyway, we kissed. A lot. And I didn’t go home that evening (I know, I know… not terribly elegant).
A week later I was invited back to his house and we had a lengthy conversation about how neither of us was looking for anything serious… too much going on… studying… work etc etc. Then we did some more kissing.
I got pregnant. My Dad got ill again. Kissing got us through some tough times. Izzy arrived and we shared our kisses with her too.
My Dad died. I didn’t feel like kissing for a while. And then I did again and the kisses were even better than before.
Then I started University. Izzy came with me but he had to stay in London. We saved up all our kisses for the weekends. It got too tough in the end, not kissing Monday to Friday, so Mr LA moved to Devon too. Normal kissing service was resumed.
In 2008 we kissed our way to another baby. 9 months later we discovered there were more than enough kisses for baby Jesse too.
6 years, 2 babies and everything else in between and we’re STILL kissing.
Possibly one of, if not the, greatest on-screen kisses ever. I never, ever get tired of watching this film. If you haven’t seen it, sort it out (I’m talking to you Daisy!).

Beautiful story! Thanks for sharing xxx
I can’t tell you HOW much I love hearing the story of how people met, and this is lovely! Sounds like you guys have had some tricky times along the way and getting through those shows how strong your love is.
I must say as well…I’m a touch jealous that you’re one of those hot mummies – unless I get a bloomin move on, I’ll be far too old to be one.
Aw what a lovely story and so well written – yeah one of the best screen kisses and one the greatest ever films although I always feel sorry for the cat getting wet 🙁 am having a little sniff here whilst watching it x
@Ondine – tough would be the word, yes! But here we are. And as for being a hot mummy, well, I’d like to think I have my moments but the rest of the time I’m a hot mess! But I always endeavour to try and oooze as much glamour as a woman in a nursing bra possibly can!
@Louise – I always think of the cat too. I worry about all the passive smoking he does at the party!! I dream of my daughter growing out of her allergies and being able to have a cat called ‘cat’ one day!
