Name: <\/strong>Amanda\u00a0 and Josh
\nLocation:<\/strong> Newcastle, NSW
\nWedding date:<\/strong> October, 2012<\/p>\n

When Amanda met door-to-door electricity salesman Josh, she felt like she'd been hit by lightning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On June 8th<\/sup>, 2009, a door-to-door salesman, Josh, knocked at my door enquiring whether I’d like to change my electricity company. After talking to him about how much trouble I was having with my then provider, he signed me up to his company – then he chatted with me for a good hour after the sale.<\/p>\n

Just before leaving, he asked for my number. I thought it was just part of his job so I gave it to him thinking I would never hear or see him again and I’m so glad I was wrong!<\/p>\n

He called the next day just after lunchtime. He wanted to have dinner – that night – with me! Of course I said ‘yes’. After chatting a while we discovered we lived on the same street – about 100 houses apart – but had never met.<\/p>\n

During dinner I thought nothing would come of our ‘date’ because he is four years younger than me, so I assumed we would just stay friends for a bit of fun.<\/p>\n

Two years later, we have a nine-month-old son, Levi, and another one is on the way at the end of September, 2011.<\/p>\n

Since he knocked on my front door, Josh and I have hardly spent a day apart. He is a great father and stand by my side every day.<\/p>\n

On March 19, 2011 – while I was watching a wedding show – he casually asked me whether getting married was something I wanted and, without even waiting for a reply, he bent down on one knee and asked me to spend eternity with him.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever been happier and we are planning to get married in October 2012.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2017,"parent":0,"template":"","uk_article_category":[6803],"uk_article_tag":[3497,2227],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article\/594"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uk-article"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk-article\/594\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"uk_article_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_article_category?post=594"},{"taxonomy":"uk_article_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uk_article_tag?post=594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
