THE DOUBLE DATERS

Milla, 29, and Guy, 31

Guy was the flatmate of my then fling Harry. I knew Guy liked my friend Milla and vice versa. They’d quietly clocked each other, but nothing had happened for months. That’s where I came in. ‘What do you think of Guy?’ I asked Milla innocently. ‘What? Why?!’ she squealed, caught off-guard. But I’d planted the seed…

Soon after, we threw a house party and Guy spent all evening near Milla, convincing her of his affections. A first date soon followed and, before we knew it, we became a comfortable foursome going on double dates together. Harry and I didn’t last – ultimately we weren’t a match – but I like to think our relationship paved the way for a more successful one: this summer we reunited to celebrate Milla and Guy’s wedding.

Milla: ‘Emma set the wheels in motion and gave us both the confidence to go for it. She was our number-one fan throughout it all.’
