\u201cHow else does a girl from Sweden and a boy from Australia end up meeting in Lisbon and then going back there to get married?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMeant to be\u201d explains why, says Josefine Karlsson of her fateful\u00a0meeting with beau Jamie Lobb in Lisbon, Portugal. The couple, aged 32 and 29 respectively, met while on a hostel-organised pub\u00a0crawl. \u201cThe bar crawl only included tequila so Jamie and I went off and bought our own mojitos together,\u201d says Josefine. They spent some time exploring\u00a0Lisbon together, having lunch in Cascais, and stayed in touch afterwards. \u201cJamie decided to come visit me before going back to Sydney. He asked me to come with him, so I gave up my flat and my job and bought a ticket to Sydney.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pair married at their vintage beach wedding on August 5, 2016 with 62 guests. Their wedding location at Arriba by the Sea in Cascais, Portugal was a case of fate. \u201cWe had always said that if we were ever going to get married it would only ever be in Portugal. To our delight we found that the restaurant in Cascais where we had lunch when we first met, was now a wedding venue<\/a>,\u201d says Josefine.<\/p>\n
