HOL PAIR LOVE APP 1ST SIGHT
A COUPLE who fell madly in love but did not speak the same language have praised Google Translate.
Chloe Smith met Italian Daniele Marisco in Ibiza.
Despite the language barrier they became inseparable and communicated through the Google app and YouTube.
Two years on, make-up artist Chloe and barman Daniele now live together in Streatham, south London.
Chloe, 23, from Wolverhampton, said: “There was something exciting about Daniele, and the fact we couldn’t understand each other wasn’t a problem.
“I made the first move and asked him for his number.
“Despite never having a foreign boyfriend before, I knew I liked him, and I knew he would learn English one day. Sometimes you must do these things for love.
“Some people thought I was crazy when I went to Barcelona with him after only knowing him for one week, but I just knew it would be the best decision. “From there we went to Tenerife and Madrid. Within six months, we had probably been on more city breaks than some couples have in years.
“I went to live with him and his family in Naples in 2016 and it was a dream come true.” Daniele, 25, added: “We wanted to be together from the moment we met and that is why we worked, she helped me learn English and I have helped her learn how to cook Italian food. “From the start I had a good feeling about Chloe. “She is my soulmate.”
