Sometimes, you can find love in the most unexpected places. Carol Christina Thompson had just divorced her ex-husband and was on a mission to drop more than three stone and was training for her first half marathon.
The 37-year-old, from Detroit, Michigan, US, was focusing on herself and had downloaded a fitness app on her phone to track her progress. But when she asked an ice-breaker question in the online forum, it was Ash Smith, 41, from Brighton, who caught her attention by confessing his fear of melted chocolate - and quite literally melted her heart.
Four years later, they are married with a baby and Ash relocated to Carol's hometown in the states. But before their romance could really blossom, Carol, who goes by the nickname CC, flew 3,748 miles for their first date in London after talking online for hours on end.
