A couple who met just weeks before tying the knot have defied expectations by celebrating two years of marriage together.
Maggie Corbould, 23, shared her story, revealing that she had given up on finding love but decided to give it a try by downloading the dating app “Hinge” and meeting her now-husband, Danny Corbould and made it up to themselves in 2022.
She said: “I kind of gave up on love. A year later I thought I’m just going to go on a dating app.
“I saw Danny’s profile but I didn’t have any likes left.”
After meeting in March 2022, Maggie discovered she was pregnant just a week later. Despite the unexpected news, the couple, who were both in the military at the time, decided to embrace the pregnancy and their budding relationship.
They also had a small ceremony and tied the knot in June 2022.
How Maggie felt when she found out, she said: “I think it was love at first sight.
“It was like a higher power that brought us together.
“Finding out I was pregnant after only a week was a shock.
“I think people expect us to have broken up.
“When I look back I wouldn’t do it differently at all.
“That little boy is my whole world.”
Danny on his own part said: “I’m a very unsure person but as soon as I met her, I knew I loved her.
“I wanted to be with her everyday and spend all my time with her. I just had a feeling that I’d never felt with previous girlfriends.
“I was scared at first because everything was happening so quickly but there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted this baby with her.
“As soon as I saw that first scan all my worries went away.
“I love our little love story. I wouldn’t have changed anything. I love our little family and can’t wait for the rest of our future as the Corbould family.”
How they both felt when they found out they are having a baby, she said: “We were both so young.
“I took a pregnancy test and told Danny and he thought I was joking.
“It was a complete shock. I was on contraception.”
“It never felt wrong. It always felt right.
“I had to ring my dad as he was on location in Malta and tell him ‘I’m pregnant with a man you’ve never met and we’re getting married’.
“He said ‘we’ll love it but we won’t financially support it’.
“My dad is now besotted with him.”
