AnneMarie met Anthony at The Block House, Gänsemarkt in Hamburg, Germany whilst he was out for a dinner with his brother Nick.

It started with ”Oh, you’re from England!”

Soon a good friendship would entail, eventually leading to love. My Mother insisted on waiting until the papers of the divorce were final before they shared their first shared kiss and ever since they have shared a love like no other.

His love for her and her love for him, it is not one of fairy tales - but is is their story. They really can stand through anything together, from struggles such as deportation to health obstacles being their own or of my sister.

I never known a man to look at his wife, the way my Anthony looks at my Mother. Or how she at him.

Anthony said to his friend Thorsten: Love has the weirdest way of finding you. I found the love of my life, an American in Hamburg after leaving England.

No greater love.
