Ayse,26, was introduced to Darrin,24, after she became Facebook friends with his mother, Kenda, on a group that was created during the lockdown in the United Kingdom in July 2020. However, Darrin lives in the United States but he said he always wanted to talk to someone from the UK. The pair hit it off quickly and started to have weekly date nights where they would order food for each other and have video calls every day.
They planned to meet each other in the United States last year but travel restrictions prevented it from happening. Earlier this year in May, Darrin surprised Ayse and proposed to her.

“When he answered the call he seemed so nervous which was unlike him – but I soon understood why when he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. I couldn’t believe it. He said he’d been planning to propose when I came to Detroit but couldn’t wait any longer to ask. Despite never meeting, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to marry Darrin.”
The couple got married in August in a video call involving their family and friends after being officiated in the state of Utah. Additionally, they are waiting for Ayse’s visa to be approved in order to fully enjoy their marriage in the United States.
