Doing the rounds on the Internet this week is the story of #loveatfirstsight. When 24 year old Galway man Jamie Kelly got chatting to a Canadian woman called Katie on a Ryanair flight he instantly fell in love. The two hit it off on a flight from Barcelona to Dublin last week, but they lost touch at passport control when he joined the EU passport control line and she joined the line for non-EU residents.
After waiting for her for a short while, Jamie didn’t want to seem desperate so gave up and headed home. Yet he couldn’t stop thinking of the Nova Scotia born beauty, so he did what any self-respecting young man would do and started a Twitter campaign using the hashtags #loveatfirstsight and #findkatie to find his lost love.
Luckily one of 27 year old Katie Moreau’s relatives spotted the hashtag and let her know about it. She told CBC News: ‘When I was on the plane I talked to him incessantly because I had just been travelling for two months in Italy and Spain and it was just so nice to be around English-speaking people, plus I’m a talker. We had lots in common plus he was very easy on the eyes.’
The pair actually had met up last night, so you never know, we might be seeing a #wedding in the future.
Well its date night for my little sis and her Irish Romeo! I hope it goes well 🙂 surfing, dinner and drinks! #loveatfirstflight #findkatie
