Love drew us together like the inevitable pull of one magnet to another. \u00a0There could have been no other outcome but this, as destiny aligned us and arranged our fairy tale like meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The article provides very few details about exactly where and when the wedding took place, except to state that,\u00a0&#8220;Mr. \u00a0&amp;
