This sweet story is about two individuals who found love on the streets and eventually ended up getting married. Now they have twins!
Woman Falls In Love With Homeless Man In This Amazing Story
Emmy, a writer, was a 29-year-old traveling in Amsterdam back in 2006 when she met the love of her life. Vic Kocula was a total stranger.
He approached her on the street, and the two had instant chemistry. They quickly became captivated with one another.
According to Emma, she was immediately mesmerized by his "beautiful brown eyes".
Vic said that he was drawn to her that day because she looked so comfortable with herself.
After 10 minutes of chatting, Emmy agreed to meet Vic on the same bench a week later for another date.
Vic had found himself homeless after he became broke during a backpacking trip.
"I hadn’t done everything that I wanted to do during the trip, so I just said well, I’ll do it without any money,” said Vic.“The wheels fell off and the alcoholism sort of kicked in heavy and it was such a gradual turn that all of a sudden one day I noticed, I realized, oh my god, I’m a homeless alcoholic.”
When Emmy had to return to Vienna - where she lived at the time - she suspected she'd never see or hear from Vic again
Vic made enough money to buy a train ticket and followed Emmy all the way to Vienna.
More than 10 years later the couple, who appeared on This Morning on Tuesday, are married with six-year-old twins, Desta and Til.
Eventually, Emma wrote a book about their love story entitled ‘How to Fall in Love With a Man Who Lives in a Bush’.
The couple was married in a fairytale castle wedding and Vic transformed his life, going on to retrain as an electrical engineer.
They have explained to Desta and Til how they met, but the couple aren't sure their children fully understand their unique tale.
They are encouraging people not to judge others based on their appearance or where they're from - who knows? You might be pleasantly surprised.
