Alex gathered all the courage he had and stepped towards her. He reminisces, “Anna was the most beautiful girl I’d ever seen in my life.” “I plucked up some courage and went over to her and said ‘I’m sorry, but you’re the most gorgeous girl I’ve ever seen.’ She turned round and looked at me and said ‘My God, so are you’. I never expected that, but we got talking and spent the whole night just chatting, until about 7am. People go on about love at first sight and until then I had thought it was a load of rubbish, but as soon as I saw Anna I knew I had to be with her.”
