They say ''Love knows no reason, no boundaries, and no distance". A couple has now proven that love is the greatest force in the universe, after they fell for each other despite not being able to talk to each other. Luke Dickinson and Ukrainian refugee Vira Klimova recently tied the knot, all thanks to Google Translate which allowed them to communicate, according to a report in UK-based Metro.
Their paths crossed when they started chatting on a Facebook group set up to help Ukrainians fleeing Vladimir Putin's Russian forces. If not for Google Translate, their love story would not have blossomed.According to the outlet, 37-year-old Vira Klimova, had to leave her home in Odessa, Ukraine, with her daughter, Karina, 15. With just a handful of belongings, she eventually ended up in Bristol where a Moldovan friend lives.
During her travel, she got talking to 28-year-old Luke, who had logged onto the Facebook group to see if he could help people in Vira's situation.
"When we got chatting Vira was already sorted and had her documents ready. But I'd seen her photo and I was like 'Ooh hello!' So, I sent her a private message. We had laughs and jokes, the sense of humour was perfect. Everyone always says no one understands the English sense of humour, but she does. We used Google Translate on every single message as she didn't understand any English. I really liked her, so it didn't matter," Mr Dickinson told the outlet.
