Love stories: tom Gutierrez and anna Brewster
TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF
My name is Anna, I'm an actress, model and most currently a mother.
HOW DID YOU MEET?
Tom and I met on Hinge actually - like all great modern love stories.
He sent me a 'rose' which actually got my attention because I had actually sworn not to go another date and focus on myself. However this virtual rose popped up, the stars aligned and here we are. There's actually another story which Tom would tell where we met 15 years ago, but I don't remember. He says he had a 15 year crush.

WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT TOM?
I love Tom because I think he is just one of the kindest people I've ever met. He has a genuinely beautiful heart and just wants the best for us and the world as a whole. Seeing him become a father and love and nurture not only our little girl but look after me at the same time, he is really a rock. He reminds me of my dad with his kindness, support and love and I didn't think I'd ever find that in a man.
TELL US ABOUT THE PROPOSAL?
We got engaged in Spain, Tom's half Spanish and spent a lot of his youth in this particular part of Spain, so it's really special to him. We went to this hill with an amazing view and I turned around and he was on one knee.
When we went back down to the beach it started to rain and we ran into the sea, it was magical on this deserted beach.
TELL US ABOUT THE BIG DAY?
Our wedding day was just what we wanted. We wanted to do everything in one day and take all the boring formalities out. We really wanted it to feel like a big party with our friends. We found this great venue in Borough called Lant St Wine, we actually went there for a 40th and we both just said this is the place!
Ben the owner was incredible! We ordered Pizza from Dominoes (I really didn't want a big sit down dinner), we had a Karaoke machine, there was singing, dancing and moshing and just so much FUN.
WHAT LED YOU TO BEAR?
I've been aware of Bear for a long time, but we met properly through our mutual friend Lara (Vallance) who works with Bear (notably styling the bridal shoot)
Anyway as soon as I met Bear I knew that she was my kind gal, and I knew it was the perfect place for us to get our rings from. The whole day choosing felt really special and we both adore these incredibly special pieces.
