The story of Amalie Jennings
Things began to change when Amalie, originally from Denmark, met her husband, Sean, a British man, through an online video game. Their unlikely connection grew into a friendship that blossomed into something more.
”My husband Sean and I met 11 years ago on a game on the PlayStation,” she said. ”At first, I thought he was an old man just looking for a young woman to talk to. But then I learned he was my age.”
Amalie admitted her insecurities often made her self-conscious, even in the beginning. ”I could see how fat I was in the pictures, but he kept talking to me,” she said. ”I was so insecure about myself; I would hide my double chin. But he still didn’t care—he just wanted to talk to me.”
Before long, the two became best friends. It took some time for them to realize they were in love. Amalie began dropping hints about her feelings, but he didn’t immediately pick up on them.
Eventually, she began posting subtle love notes on Facebook, which Sean noticed but didn’t fully understand at first. Sean initially assumed she was referring to someone else.
Finally, the Danish girl worked up the courage to confess her feelings directly.
