A COUPLE who met on the bus to college are hoping to win their wedding after money troubles prevented them from having their perfect wedding day.

Kirstie Fitton, 23, met David Gill, 21, four years ago when she was studying animal management at college and he was studying motorsport engineering.

“We were on the same bus and we got talking.

We hit it off straight away and have been together ever since,” said Kirstie, who has just got a job at the lion reserve at Longleat safari park.

David, who works at a garage and at Thruxton Kart Centre, proposed to Kirstie in Bournemouth after they’d been together for a year.

Kirstie said: “It was very unexpected. I had just returned from Africa where I was doing a course and David proposed to me where we went on our first date.”

The couple, who live in Amesbury with David’s parents, have struggled to save money since they finished college.

“I’ve only been out of college for a year and it has been really hard to find a job. We can’t save for a house or put any money away; it’s impossible.

If we won the competition it would mean everything to us and it would be one less thing to worry about and I do worry about it a lot,”

said Kirstie, who would like to get married as soon as possible.”
