Two strangers married on Christmas Day after meeting for the first time at an airport in their wedding attire before boarding a plane to Las Vegas. Sarah [Elliott], 34, matched with Paul Edwards, 36, on online and within days decided to get hitched. They matched on Dec. 15 and exchanged messages and spoke to each other for the first time on Dec. 22.They committed to each other and booked a wedding venue - the Bellagio. After meeting for the first time at Gatwick Airport on Christmas Eve, the duo boarded a plane in full wedding attire and jetted off to Las Vegas to get married. We instantly clicked - there was an undeniable connection," Sarah Edwards, a nanny who is originally from New Zealand but now lives in Tunbridge, Wells, Kent, said. "I feel like Paul's my best friend already. We're not looking at everything through rose-tinted glasses. We know it will be challenging, but we're willing to work together. I'm usually such a logical person, but all the rules have been thrown out."

LOL at the millionaire comment. It’s funny how that works.
You’re right, of course - some things just aren’t meant to be.
May we all have a happy, healthy new year!
Happy and healthy to you and yours! 2019 is going to be great; I feel it!
Who knows whether it will last.....a lot of “solid” marriages fall apart.....
I named mine Bob because I didn’t want a stranger making all my decisions ......
I wish them well, however the old expression “marry in haste, repent at leisure” comes to mind.
I think maybe India has the right idea. Arranged marriages used to be the norm even in the western world. I have thought that might not be such a bad idea.
Met my wife in an airport in Dec 1968, first date in January, proposed in February, married in July. 50th anniversary coming up.
thanks for sharing your experience Joe!
Happy 2019 down under Freeper.
“Guy agrees to marry whomever their friends choose.”
Need to make sure there are not any unresolved issues or grudges between the groom and friends before letting that happen.
