Their love story began in 2015, under the romantic setting of Benedict Cumberbatch’s wedding. Reflecting on their first encounter, Guy humorously recalls, “My first thought was: ‘Jesus she’s loud.’ Then it was: ‘God, she’s gorgeous!’”
Despite coming from vastly different backgrounds, the connection between Guy and Rachael was immediate and profound.
Describing the early days of their relationship, Guy likened it to “a warm bath,” highlighting the comfort and ease they found in each other’s company.
