This story is proof that sometimes fate has unexpected surprises in store that no one could have predicted. When Heidi and Ed Savitt, after six years of a relationship, decided to marry, they had no idea their wedding day would be even more extraordinary than they could ever have imagined. What turned out to be was absolutely shocking for both of them – and yet wonderful.
How it all began
Heidi and Ed first met in 2011, when they were both studying at the University of Newcastle. Their relationship only grew stronger from then on, and after six years together they crowned their love with marriage last year. Everything looked like a beautiful and traditional love story. But their connection had much deeper roots than they ever thought.
An unexpected revelation during a family dinner
But let’s go back a few years, to the time when they’d been together four years. They decided to introduce their mothers, Kay Parker, Heidi’s mother, and Fiona Savitt, Ed’s mother. During the shared dinner Kay told stories about her daughter’s childhood and mentioned that Heidi loved sailing when she was young. When Heidi was six, they were on holiday in Turkey, where Heidi befriended a little boy.
When the boy was mentioned, one interesting name came to Kay’s mind – Ed. At that moment, however, neither of the women present realized how important that detail would be.
A coincidence that shocked both families
After the dinner Kay returned home and began looking through old family photos from the holiday in Turkey in 1997. To her great surprise she found a picture of little Heidi with a boy named Ed – and it was exactly the same Ed she would marry many years later.
When Kay shared this incredible news with her daughter, both – Heidi and Ed – were shocked. As it turned out, their paths had first crossed in childhood without them knowing.
Fated love
Heidi and Ed’s story is a beautiful proof of how unpredictable and magical fate can be. Their childhood summer affection turned into a lifelong bond, even though many years passed between those two meetings. They are now inseparable partners who carry memories not only from university but also from childhood – and this story is even more special to them.
