This Woman Used Twitter To Find A Date To Her Sister’s Wedding, But Little Did She Know She Would Marry Him Three Years Later
Sometimes fate works in the weirdest ways. What starts out as a joke can turn into something more β and I mean much, much more.
Twitter-user Llia Apostolou needed a date for her sister’s wedding back in 2014, almost exactly three years from today. She decided to take to the Internet to see what she could find.
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.

One lucky man volunteered. Little did he know, what started out as a Twitter flirtation would become something more.
@Llia I can do this, I've got a suit and everything!

@philgibson01 See you at the altar.
— Llia Apostolou (@Llia) July 6, 2014
Let’s just say it was pretty obvious they had some great chemistry.
@Llia It's a date! Just a date though, right?

@philgibson01 is this how internet dating works?

@Llia My Grandma already wants to meet you.

@philgibson01 that's nice and all, but I didn't invite her to my wedding. No, wait, THE wedding. Slip of the tongue.

So why am I talking about a Twitter conversation that happened years ago? Because guess what? That joke became a little too real, and the pair just got married IRL.
Almost exactly three years later, I can say… Reader, I married him. π https://t.co/4Gldzbbsw2

No, seriously.

This is actually Twitter (and dating) goals.
Did it! Here's me and my wife @Llia on the way back from the registry office. pic.twitter.com/Q117Rx1XE2

Though Llia admitted that they didn’t actually go to her sister’s wedding together, it’s still a pretty crazy coincidence.
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 ππΌ
— Llia Apostolou (@Llia) July 5, 2017
But still – I jokingly wished to marry him, having not even met him, and it happened. Still blows my mind.
— Llia Apostolou (@Llia) July 5, 2017
We’re all just really happy for (and jealous of) them.

I guess it’s time to delete Tinder, upgrade my Twitter profile and tweet like my love life depends on it.
