A blind couple, from Hanford, Stoke-On-Trent, have tied the knot after being brought together by their guide dogs, who were love-struck themselves.
Claire Johnson and Mark Gaffey, both in their 50's, first met during a two-week guide dog training course, the Independent reported.
Venice, Johnson's Labrador-Retriever, fell in love with fellow service dog Rodd, and the canines quickly becoming inseparable.
Claire and Mark soon became romantically involved themselves and decided to settle down on 2013's Valentine's Day.
The new bride said that she has no doubt her guide dog helped her find true love and much like their two guide dogs, she and Gaffey really are best friends and soul mates.
