#103 "Love is in the air"..... (literally ). What can go wrong sometimes does!

A young couple visited Anne's studio last week and they told us that they had met via a dating service on the Internet.

They said that they talked every day online for about six weeks and then decided to set up a date.

The man, Scott, booked a very special table at a restaurant which overlooks Sydney Harbour and had gone to great pains to book the best table in the house, he had ordered flowers to be on the table, he had also booked a limousine to pick his date, Helen, up from her home and drive her to one of Sydney’s five star harbourside hotels where she was instructed to catch the lift to the beautiful cocktail bar on the 36th floor where he would be waiting for her.

The plan was to have pre-dinner drinks there, then back to the limousine, then drive over the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the restaurant he had booked.

Unfortunately for both of them, Helen developed a bad case of food poisoning in the afternoon, but left it until the last minute to call him, as she was hoping she would recover.

Unfortunately she was very ill and couldn’t make it.

So, after much discussion, Scott organized a repeat performance for the following week. (naturally there would be a fresh bunch of flowers on the table)

Things went very well, they talked and laughed and were the last people to leave the restaurant; they said the staff were cleaning up around them probably hoping they would leave so that they could all go home.

Ever since that evening they spoke several times a day on the phone.

They decided after a brief romance of about three months, that they wanted to try for a baby, and it happened very quickly.

They plan to marry next year and both laughed that they are doing things back to front.

They are very happy together…something to be said for love at first sight (or in case of the Internet, first email).

We hope the baby can come to the studio to be photographed by Anne when he or she is born.

Now "Isn't it romantic"?
