They went to a date with each other couple of time and after spending some hours, they felt that they shpuld get married and they felt a strong bond with each other. And hence, within 2 months only, they tied the knot at Shoreline Church, Southport. On this, the newly wed bride, Viktorija said- ‘The moment I saw his profile I felt a connection to him – his photos made him look open and kind,’ ‘I spoke to a few people on the site but after I met Chris on there I stopped my other conversations and put all my attention onto him. ‘He had such a strong passion for ministry and it just felt right. I knew there was something special and we went for it.’ Viktorija joined the dating site in March 2019 after her sister encouraged her to sign up. She had only been a member for two weeks when Chris came across her profile and struck up a conversation with her. ‘I wasn’t sure about joining the dating site but I’d moved home after travelling in Thailand and my sister suggested it would be a good way to meet people – even just to make some friends,’ ‘I spoke to a few people and then Chris started a conversation with me and it just felt right. To be honest I was planning to stay alone for a while – I didn’t expect to meet someone so quickly. ‘At the time I started applying for jobs in the UK and I planned to go over for the some interviews. It tied in together and I could also finally meet Chris. ‘I remember being at the airport with my mum and she could already see how happy I was, giggling on the phone to him. ‘I already felt like I was in love with him when we were talking online.’
