Then came the news they had been hoping for... she was a match. In this episode of Love Stories, Emma and Enzo join Tiffany Dunk to share the story of their relationship, from their hilarious first kiss in a KFC car park to their radio-station proposal, marriage and life as parents to two young boys.
