A couple are set to get married after connecting on a Facebook group dedicated to chubby cats.
29-year-old Brit Adam Lawrence and 26-year-old American Anna Hosey hit it off when Anna' liked' a picture of Adam holding his chubby cat in a picture. They were both members of the 'This Cat Is Chonky' Facebook group.
Adam then messaged Anna after she called him 'cute' in the comments section of the picture.
They soon got chatting online and phoning each other and Adam soon met her in her hometown of Chicago. Anna was then due to visit the UK to meet Adam earlier this year, however their meeting was postponed due to the pandemic. As soon as some restrictions were lifted in July 2020 she headed straight over and they have now got engaged!
"I knew Anna was leaving and I wanted our relationship to carry on so I just decided to propose. My friends and family all love her. I don't usually date. I haven't had that many relationships so when everyone met Anna, they all said wow she's amazing, you guys have to try and make it work. We had spoken about getting married a couple of times but hadn't really reached a decision. I was originally planning to do it on London Bridge but I remembered Anna said she didn't want it to be in a busy place so I waited til the next day. We'd had a nice day out in Camden and I just proposed in my room and she said yes!"
"I wasn't completely surprised—when it happened, it was more of a sense of excitement for the direction that our future is going to be going officially. It felt more like affirming what we wanted. We are both very passionate about music so we were sending music to each other back and forth and we had deep meaningful conversations. From that conversation on, I remember going to my friends and saying I don't know why, I don't know this guy but I feel like I'm going to marry him!"
Anna now plans to stay in the UK permanently and their wedding is due to take place next year. It just goes to show that you never know when romance and love will suddenly arrive.
