Couple spent £30k keeping love alive while 7,000 miles apart - now they're wed and trying for baby

A couple who lived 7,000 miles apart for four years after meeting on Myspace say they spent £30k to make the relationship work - but don't regret a penny. Megan and Whitney Bacon-Evans are now happily married, live together in Windsor, Berkshire and are trying for a baby.

But they spent years in a long-distance relationship after connecting on Myspace in December 2006. Megan, now 35, was at university in Cardiff while Whitney, now 34, was at university in Hawaii.

They pair finally met in person in 2008 and spent the next four years travelling back and forth - at an estimated cost of £30,000. They say they spent £20,000 on flights and another £10,000 on visas and other costs.
