Marriages are made in heaven they say but these days marriages are made in a weird way which one can only imagine in their weirdest dreams, Ever imagined that you will meet a person via wrong number with whom you will end up getting married? Nah this sounds like some Bollywood romantic drams, It can happen in movies only… this is what I used to think until I came across this story.
We are talking about two unwitting WhatsApp users who came together in the unlikeliest way, Lina and Michel are two random persons who have never known each other in their entire life, It all started when one day Lina Dahlbeck received a message from some unknown number in WhatsApp saying ” Girls Trip “. It was a text from Micheal Who lives in Colliers Wood in South London, He thought he was texting his own number just as a reminder to see the movie Girl Trip starring Queen Latifah.
After that Lina replied to that text saying “Hi! Girls trip? Who’s this, please? I’m guessing this was intended for another Lina.” Michael was quick to reply, And the pair began chatting to figure out if they have ever met, It didn’t took long to know that they never knew each other. Later Micheal replied “Haha sorry I thought I was sending it to my own number… It’s Michael Evangelou, don’t know how your number got stored under mine Lina. Do you know me?” For which Lina replied Lina said: “We started chatting back and forth. I think if I wasn’t single I wouldn’t have continued the chat.”
Just when things were turning little flirty, Micheal suggested that they should meet up for a drink. She accepted saying “I think this whole scenario is so weird yet wonderful so yes I think we should meet.”. Then Micheal looked at her profile picture which left him in love at first sight. He immediately asked her out for a drink and the rest is history. The couple met at a restaurant in Waterloo just hours after Michael suggested that they should meet.
Later explaining the situation Lina said: “We were both so puzzled by the whole thing – we were on a date just four hours after that WhatsApp message. We were convinced it was fate that had brought us together.” Later the couple went to a bar in Soho. That night Micheal told everyone at the bar about how they met and everyone’s jaws dropped. They kissed that night and met next day for the brunch, And never left each other since then, They immediately became a couple. Lina says that it felt so natural as if they knew each other always. Later Lina explained to him that they need to marry to live together as it was a Muslim country, For which he immediately replied with ‘Let’s do it then. Let’s get married.’
That was so quick that it left her confused for a moment , She asked him if is that a proposal for which he replied saying ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Lina.’ Even though we were just sitting at home with the television on, it felt romantic. That was the moment she knew that she wanted to marry him.
Most of their friends thought they were mad, But eventually, they agreed, Lina and Micheals’s parents were so delighted to see the couple together. At the time when Lina has literally given up on Love, a text from Micheal has changed their lives forever.
If you have given up on Love then stories like this can give you new hopes to never give up.
