Cardiff Met Love Stories ❤️- Charlie Stephens: Tom and I met in October 2013 in Ladybird night club (not sure what it is now). Strangely enough, we did cross paths twice in first year but didn't click until we got together. We met in 2nd year of Uni and have been together ever since. We made it official at Cardiff Winter Wonderland in December 2013.
A house and a fur baby later... We are set to get married in 70 days and we will have been together 10 years this year. Cardiff Met was easily the best 3 years of my life and was made even better by meeting Tom.

Straeon Caru Met Caerdydd - Charlie Stephens: Cyfarfu Tom a minnau ym mis Hydref 2013 yng nghlwb nos Ladybird (ddim yn siŵr beth yw hi nawr). Yn rhyfedd ddigon, fe wnaethon ni groesi llwybrau ddwywaith yn y flwyddyn gyntaf ond wnaethon ni ddim clicio tan i ni ddod at ein gilydd. Fe gwrddon ni yn 2il flwyddyn y brifysgol ac rydyn ni wedi bod gyda'n gilydd ers hynny. Fe'i gwnaethom yn swyddogol yng Ngŵyl y Gaeaf Caerdydd ym mis Rhagfyr 2013. Tŷ ac anifail anwes yn ddiweddarach... Rydyn ni ar fin priodi mewn 70 diwrnod a byddwn ni wedi bod gyda'n gilydd 10 mlynedd eleni. Roedd Met Caerdydd yn hawdd y 3 blynedd gorau fy mywyd ac fe'i gwnaed yn well fyth trwy gwrdd â Tom.

Cardiff Met Love Stories❤️ - Georgia Barnes (previously Brown): Josh Barnes and I met on the first night of University in 2013. It was at a flat party in Plas Gwyn which were our halls. I’m quite talkative and he isn’t; so I spent many hours talking at him in a corner trying to find out his favourite stuff; a few drinks and conversations later and we very quickly bonded over our love for country music. We stayed friends and in contact while we both studied and 2 years later we made it official!
7 years later we travelled back to Cardiff where he proposed in Cardiff Bay. Another 3 years later we have a house, a dog and a cat, and finally managed to get married in October 2022 (in Nashville!). We would never have met and started a life together if it wasn’t for Cardiff Met. We love to come back to Cardiff often together - and hope to do so more in the future!

Straeon Caru Met Caerdydd - Georgia Barnes (Brown gynt): Cyfarfu Josh Barnes a minnau ar noson gyntaf y Brifysgol yn 2013. Mewn parti fflat ym Mhlas Gwyn oedd yn neuaddau i ni. Dwi'n eitha' siaradus a dyw e ddim; felly treuliais oriau lawer yn siarad arno mewn cornel yn ceisio darganfod ei hoff stwff; ychydig o ddiodydd a sgyrsiau yn ddiweddarach ac fe wnaethon ni fondio'n gyflym iawn dros ein cariad at gerddoriaeth gwlad. Fe wnaethon ni aros yn ffrindiau ac mewn cysylltiad tra bod y ddau ohonom yn astudio a 2 flynedd yn ddiweddarach fe wnaethon ni ei wneud yn swyddogol! 7 mlynedd yn ddiweddarach, gwnaethom deithio'n ôl i Gaerdydd lle ofynnodd i mi ei briodi ym Mae Caerdydd. 3 blynedd yn ddiweddarach mae gennym dŷ, ci a chath, ac o'r diwedd wedi llwyddo i briodi ym mis Hydref 2022 (yn Nashville!). Fydden ni byth wedi cwrdd a dechrau bywyd gyda'n gilydd oni bai am Met Caerdydd. Rydyn ni wrth ein boddau yn dod nôl i Gaerdydd yn aml gyda'n gilydd - ac yn gobeithio gwneud hynny fwy yn y dyfodol!
