How they met
“Through family,” Sarah says. “My aunt and Gavin’s mum are friends and after years of persuasion, Gavin finally managed to pluck up the courage to phone – but he hung up when my dad Benny answered. We eventually went out for drinks in Islington, but unfortunately his car was trashed by vandals. I left days later for a summer in Israel and the relationship blossomed when I returned.”
