Everyone loves a happily every after story; here is a fairy tale come true in a modern day setting- a couple met and fell in love whilst playing online bingo and are soon to be married. 38 year old online bingo fan Catherine Whitehead found her life transformed when she joined popular online bingo website Gala Bingo.
Preston based Catherine met her soul mate Julian Brook, 46 earlier this year whilst playing bingo at Gala Bingo. Julian, who lives in Hull, approximately 120 miles away, would have never met Catherine had it not been for online bingo. A friendly exchange of good lucks in a chat room was the beginning of something special.
Polite conversation in a public chat room progressed into Catherine and Julian waiting for the other to come online and the conversations soon moved into private rooms. Before they realized it, the pair had swapped email address and were using instant messenger and webcams to communicate and eventually arranged to speak on the phone.
Says Catherine, “One evening I called Julian at midnight and we spoke until 7am. I'd never felt this way about anyone before, it just felt so comfortable from the start. We already knew each other really well because we'd spent hours online and on the phone chatting. Meeting each other face to face in Hull just confirmed how compatible we were.”
Catherine has always been a fan of land based bingo until she fell ill and found herself unable to get about. The daughter suggested her going online and before she realized it Catherine was playing bingo online at Gala Bingo, happy to discover that online bingo gives her the same thrills that land based bingo does.
Lesley Hall, online PR manager at Gala Bingo said: “We're thrilled to hear how Gala Bingo has helped to bring this happy couple together. It is great to hear they are enjoying all the entertainment Gala Bingo has to offer together.”
The happy couple are due to wed in November.
