They say love can be found in the most unlikely of places.
And one couple who are set to tie the knot have proved it’s true – after starting their romance when the bride-to-be put out a last-minute call for a wedding date on Twitter.
Madison O’Neill, from Ames, Iowa, sent out a tweet two years ago that read: ‘So hmu [hit me up] if you wanna be my date to a wedding tomorrow’.
Remarkably, her now fiance, Chuck Dohrmann, responded to her invitation, messaging her: ‘Dude I’ll be your date to a wedding!’.

Madison revealed she had hesitated at first after receiving the response from Chuck, admitting she was ‘nervous’ about going with him to the wedding.
But the pair, who had gone to the same high school, ended up going to the wedding together and quickly hit it off – with Chuck confessing he’d called in sick at work in order to go.
Sharing screenshots of their exchange on Twitter – along with a picture of Chuck down on one knee – Madison wrote: ‘crazy how things work out.’
She explained: ‘That wedding was our first date over 2 years ago and we just got engaged last week’.
