Woman flies 3,500 miles for date at Wetherspoons - and falls in love in 'enchanting' pub

When it comes to dating, everyone has their own ideas of what's romantic and what's not - and for one couple, dinner in a Wetherspoons pub was all it took for them to fall in love.

Felicia DiSalvo, a student from New York, forked out a whopping £1,300 to fly from the US to Manchester to meet her online chess pal. She and Zak Broadhurst, 22, had been playing together online for a while but had never met, until he persuaded her to jump on a plane - and in return he'd treat her to dinner at the Moon Under the Water in Manchester city centre.

Felicia flew 3,500 miles to meet Zak and the pair claim they then fell for each other over a meal of fish, chips and curry sauce.
