A couple who got engaged after six days of knowing each other and got pregnant two months later say they have proved doubters wrong.
Jenny Koos, 36, and Lovemark Boadu, 44, met at a party after their mutual DJ friend set them up.
The pair said they were "drawn" to each other and knew they were each other's person by the end of the night and discussed wanting to have a child together.
Six days later they found rings in one of Jenny's drawers and decided to get engaged.
Knowing starting a family was a priority the couple began trying for a baby after just two weeks of dating and after two miscarriages they fell pregnant.
They were told their baby had heterotaxy syndrome at the 20-week scan – a rare syndrome where organs in the chest and abdomen have abnormalities or are in different positions.
But the couple said the worries surrounding it "propelled" their relationship and their little girl was born completely healthy.
Jenny, a fertility awareness educator, from Malmö, Sweden, said: "His face was the first face I saw.
"I was just drawn to him.
"We were talking, and then we were dancing and then nothing else existed.
"We put together our children and made this a family within weeks of meeting.
"It may seem crazy, but we had all these friends in common, vouching for us.
"It wasn't a random stranger."
Lovemark, a teacher, said: "I felt the same way she felt.
"I thought: 'Oh s**t who is that?'
"It was a deeper connection at first sight.
"I knew this is the one."
Both Jenny and Lovemark had been divorced and had four children between them from their previous relationships - aged six, nine, 10 and 13.
They had both been working on "personal growth" and knew they didn't want to get into anything "messy".
