Perfect wedding gift for couple - 16/11/09
A couple forcibly separated over 34 years ago have been handed the perfect wedding gift - the approval of their families.
Lovers Gary Matthew and Dee Mair were just 16 when they first got secretly engaged, only for their parents to demand that they split up.
The pair, now both 50, found each other again after Dee left a message on the Friends Reunited website looking for former schoolmates.
They arranged to meet in a bar but did not recognise each other until Gary called Dee's mobile and discovered she was sitting near him.
"I told myself right then, there was no way I would ever let this beautiful woman slip away again," Gary said.
"We were young and in love all those years ago, just like Romeo and Juliet. Although we went our separate ways, there wasn't a day I didn't think of Dee."
Just as he did in 1975, Gary asked Dee's father for permission - and this time the answer was yes.
