A Scots mechanic decided to marry his 'soul mate' and move in wth her just two weeks after their first encounter.
Donald Newell, 31, met Ashleigh Murray on February 24 this year when she left him a cheeky note with her phone number after taking her car to the garage.
The pair got their names tattooed on each other three weeks into their relationship after a marriage proposal and plan to start a family as soon as possible.
Donald, from Saltcoats, moved to Northern Ireland last year so he could be closer to his mum and sister.
He was working at Gilnahirk Tyres in Dundonald when he met 'soul mate' Ashleigh, 31, as he initially thought his colleagues were winding him up when she left her number.
As reported in Belfast Live, dog groomer Ashleigh plucked up the courage to write a number with her number and hand it to one of Donald's work colleagues.
She said: "I had called in to get a light fixed and I heard him talking to one of his colleagues when I got out of the car. I've always loved the Scottish accent so that was a good start.
"I almost chickened out of it and drove off. I have never done anything like this before in terms of putting myself out there but I thought, just do it."
Luckily for Ashleigh, she received a reply less than two hours later and within two days, the couple went on their first date and they've been inseparable ever since.
Donald told Ashleigh he loved her on the first weekend of their relationship and by the following week her had moved into her flat in South Belfast and agreed to get married - all within two weeks of their first meeting.
"He came to stay with me one night and never left!" Ashleigh added.
"He just went and got his stuff from his mum's house. It was probably me who mentioned marriage first when we were talking one night about having found the right person.
"We also got our names tattooed on each other three weeks after we met."
Now the pair have set a date and plan to tie the knot in June at Belfast City Hall.
"It'll just be immediate family - I've got my dress and everything already. We had wanted to marry this month but the nearest date they had was June."
The couple also hope to buy a house together and start a family as soon as possible.
Both their families are on board after seeing how committed the pair are to each other.
"I think our families thought we were a bit mad at first," Ashleigh admitted.
"I told my mum the week before I met Donald that I wasn't planning to date or get married. Then the week after that I was phoning to tell her I had met someone, he was moving in and we were getting married.
"She went silent and then said 'really?' Thankfully they all really like Donald and can see how committed we are to each other."
Donald knew he loved Ashleigh almost immediately despite initially thinking his colleagues were having a laugh when he was first handed Ashleigh's note.
"When we went out on our first date we had a connection right away as all we did was laugh," he added.
"At no time did I think it was moving too fast - it just felt right and I have found my soul mate."
Ashleigh adds: "We're both 31 now and at the stage that we don't want to hang about. We’re so in love with each other and I don’t really care what people think.
"When you meet the person you know you’re meant to be with and they fit seamlessly into your life, you just know."
