Emma on Kate What were you hoping for? An interesting chat and a 10/10 “how we met” story for the wedding speech. First impressions? Very open, friendly and wanting, like me, to make the most of the free food. What did you talk about? Our love of constant change. Cooking things in one pot. Tattoos. Our Desert Island Discs. Being bisexual. Any awkward moments? When the sweet French waiter surprised us with a second creme brulee, just as we were saying we were totally stuffed. Good table manners? Top manners – Kate offered me her chips multiple times after she saw me eyeing them up. Best thing about Kate? Her passion for trying out new things. She was even excited about her new bouldering calluses! Would you introduce her to your friends? Yes, as a new member of my book club – but I can’t imagine us going to a rave. Describe Kate in three words? Sweet, intelligent, chill. What do you think she made of you? Loud, chatty and Robyn’s number one fan. Did you go on somewhere? Nope. And … did you kiss? No – it wasn’t the vibe. If you could change one thing about the evening what would it be? I wouldn’t have eaten the second creme brulee. I had to roll myself home. Marks out of 10? A solid 7. Would you meet again? Sadly, I’m not sure we’re a good match. The search for the perfect “how we met” wedding-speech story continues. Kate on Emma What were you hoping for?
