Get ready for a love story that’s equal parts modern, heartfelt, and delicious. In this episode, Georgie Mullin and James Marsh spill the tea on how a Bumble match during the pandemic turned into a heart-pounding long-distance romance… and ultimately, a beautiful engagement.

From navigating flights and time zones to finally building a home together, Georgie and James share the real behind-the-scenes moments that shaped their relationship. Georgie — beloved food writer and cookbook author — dishes on her culinary evolution, the flavors that inspire her, and just how big of a role food plays in their love story (spoiler: curry is basically a love language).

They also give us an inside look at their wedding planning: dreaming up a magical winter celebration, crafting a menu that feels deeply them, and infusing their day with thoughtful personal touches that honor their journey.

It’s romantic, relatable, cozy, and a little spicy… just like their story.
