A price match made in heaven as couple meet at Sun Savers event…and get engaged


I LOVE to help you find bargains on this page, but Sun Savers can even help you find love – and I am excited to tell you we have our first couple.

Truck driver Wayne Russell, 38, had been through a tough time after his wife died from cancer in February 2017.

But the following year, the dad of four met mum-of-two River-Mae Foxx, 30, at a Sun Savers event. The pair hit it off and stayed in touch.

Wayne, from Milton Keynes, Bucks, says: “I didn’t realise we had a connection straight away, I thought we just got on.”
But they more than just got on and, just before Christmas, Wayne proposed.

He says: “I’d wanted to wait and do it on a Sun Holiday we’d booked, but I panicked after I bought the ring, so I just called her upstairs and proposed.

“She cried and eventually said yes. I never thought I’d find happiness again. Now I’m engaged to the love of my life and it’s all thanks to The Sun.”

River, from Northampton, adds: “We wouldn’t have been where we are now if it wasn’t for Sun Savers.”

While the pair, who have two children each, plan a wedding in the next couple of years, I wanted to celebrate now.

So as a Valentine’s Day treat, I arranged to whisk them off in a limo for a surprise romantic day out at a Champneys spa in Tring, Herts. Now here’s hoping there’s a Sun Savers baby on the way.

Before I left, they shared their saving tips with me . . . 
BARGAIN HOLS:
The couple heartily recommend Sun Hols From £9.50, and they recently went on their second trip.

B&M HEAVEN: River had a lovely blueberry candle burning in the house when I arrived to surprise them.

I thought it was a Yankee Candle (usually about £8.99 for a small jar candle) but River told me she gets dupes from B&M.

At around £4, that is a lot less.

SUN SAVIOUR: River and Wayne bank all their Sun Savers codes and use the cash to treat each other and their families.
