In an unusual twist of fate, 26-year old Megan Willis from Baltimore met her current partner, 42-year old DJ Mark Stone when he played at her wedding in 2016.
She was introduced to Mark in 2015 by her sister, Kirsten in New York while making wedding arrangements.
Megan got married in July 2016 but a year later, she became unhappy and felt neglected in her marriage.
She decided to visit Kirsten in New York and found herself at the same restaurant where she first met Mark which he co-owns with his brother.
They got talking and Megan confided in him about her unhappy marriage.
Megan said: “After that night, the conversation continued because Mark was having similar issues in his marriage of 27 years. So we started chatting daily.
“My marriage ended because I wasn’t fully happy and I wasn’t getting what I needed out of it. My ex was addicted to a video game that basically became his life and I was basically non existent.
“He didn’t want to spend time with me, he didn’t want to go out and explore. He counted hanging out together as me watching TV and him playing his game with headphones on in the same room.”
Megan’s divorce was finalized in 2018 and eight months later, she and Mark were officially an item.
They’ve had to deal with negative comments about their relationship but Megan says she doesn’t care what people think.
She said: “Love is love. Never feel ashamed for who you love. Never hide your love. Embrace it, shout it from the rooftops because it’s the most amazing feeling to love and be loved.”
