Understanding each other blindly is supposed to be one of the best prerequisites for a functioning relationship. If that’s true, Bee Nichols and her fiancé James Kavanagh needn’t worry anymore. The couple are so on the same wavelength that they even proposed at the same time.
During her winter holiday in Latvia, 29-year-old Bee got on her knees in front of James. She had no idea, however, that her partner had planned exactly the same thing on the same day. Bee forestalled him, James said yes. It’s a clear sign they’re soul mates, Bee wrote on Twitter, noting that they also wore matching hats.
Bee and James have known each other for ages, going to primary school together in Hertfordshire, England. But it was only during the Corona lockdown that their paths crossed again and they became a couple. Both had moved back in with their parents during the pandemic. The engagement was the logical next step, Bee Nichols told the BBC. The holiday in Latvia seemed like the right setting for her: “It was so romantic and I found a ring for James that matched mine.”
The Englishwoman organized a dog sled ride, after which the couple climbed an exit tower – and there Bee proposed to her partner. She probably didn’t expect the reaction: “I hope you don’t mind, but I was also planning to propose to you,” James replied. In hindsight, Bee can figure it out: She noticed that James was pretty quiet during the trip. At the moment, however, she was perplexed – and happy.
A tourist who also happened to be on the observation deck took a picture of the scene, and Bee posted the photos on Twitter, drawing many enthusiastic responses. “When I look at these pictures, I’m immediately back in the moment,” she says.
