Love knocks on the door when you least expect it! And isn’t that simply wonderful? Life works mysteriously and sometimes, you end up with your best friend, someone’s brother or sister or even with a stranger.
That’s exactly what happened to this Twitter User, Llia Apostolou. 3 Years ago, she jokingly tweeted that she wanted a date for a wedding!
Are you a man? Can I borrow you for a wedding next weekend? Bonus points if you can source a baby that I can pretend is mine too.

Turns out, it was for her sister’s wedding and she turned to Twitter for a help. To her surprise, she did get a reply.
@Llia I can do this, I've got a suit and everything!

Phil and Llia, soon started chatting and it looked like they were having a lot of fun! Here’s a cracker bit of their conversation!
1. Will she or won’t she?
@philgibson01 See you at the altar.

2. Â He didn’t know then, that he would be dating her for life!
@Llia It's a date! Just a date though, right?

3. You tell us!
@philgibson01 is this how internet dating works?

4. That escalated quickly…
@Llia My Grandma already wants to meet you.

5. Was it really a slip of the tongue?
@philgibson01 that's nice and all, but I didn't invite her to my wedding. No, wait, THE wedding. Slip of the tongue.

Their flirtatious banter didn’t lead to Phil attending the sister’s wedding though!
Should clarify, we didn’t go to that wedding together (it was my sister’s, imagine!) but Phil & I did meet IRL for the 1st time that week ??

Just admit it, you were not really joking about marrying him?
But still – I jokingly wished to marry him, having not even met him, and it happened. Still blows my mind.

3 years later, the joke turned into a reality. And BOOM, they got married!
Did it! Here's me and my wife @Llia on the way back from the registry office. pic.twitter.com/Q117Rx1XE2

And she found her lobster on Twitter!
Almost exactly three years later, I can say… Reader, I married him. 😎 https://t.co/4Gldzbbsw2

Their story is perfect for a romantic comedy! I for one would definitely watch this on screen.
