Do you believe in fate? If you’ve ever been slightly sceptical about the concept, just wait until you hear this amazing story. We’re pretty sure it’s a story that Alex and Donna Voutsinas will be telling for the rest of their lives.
The Huffington Post reports that when Donna was a little girl, herself and her family went on holiday to Disney World. While they were there, Donna’s family decided to get a picture with one of the park’s famous characters (Doc from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves).
Randomly, the picture also captured a man with a distinctive tuft of white hair who was walking behind Donna and her brothers at the time. The man was pushing a buggy with a little boy in it.
Unknown to Donna and her family, that little boy would turn out to be her future husband! Yes, really.
“It just blew our minds when we realised,” said Alex, who was the little boy in the buggy.
A week before their wedding, Alex and Donna were going through some old family pictures when Alex spotted his dad in Donna’s Disney World photograph and made the connection.
Unbelievably, the couple ended up together in the end, despite the fact that they had never met before and were living in different countries when the photograph was taken in 1980.
Freaky or what? It’s definitely got us thinking about the strange coincidences in life anyway! If you have any incredible stories about how you met your other half, we’d love to hear them. Drop us a line at hello@her.ie
