We matched on Tinder and moved in together days after meeting for the first time – now we’re married

A COUPLE who moved in together two weeks after their first Tinder date have proved doubters wrong by getting married a year later.

Magdalena Pietrzyk and Romulo Costa matched on the dating app in April 2022.

They met in person for the first time at mum-of-one Magdalena's home in Glasgow a month later - and within just two weeks he'd officially moved in.

Magdalena, 42, and Romulo, 36, then tied the knot in July of this year - 15 months after meeting.

Dad-of-three Romulo said it was love at first sight when he saw his date in a baggy jumper and flip-flops at Glasgow Central Station.

He said: "Her blonde hair, blue eyes, and Brazilian-style curves just blew my mind.

"On the way to meet her for the first time I had butterflies in my tummy - like a teenage love.

"When I saw her for the first time under the clock she was wearing a huge jumper and flip-flops.

"From then I decided to love her day after day and I'll do that as long as I exist.

"I think love is a decision you make every day, not a sudden feeling that overtakes you.

"Moving in together so quickly was a wise decision - our minds and souls were already united, so it was just a body union."

Magdalena, a property investor, and actor Romulo had both been on Tinder dates before but failed to find a spark with anyone.

But, when they matched and started messaging, they knew this time it was different.

Romulo, from Sao Paolo, Brazil, flew to Scotland from London, where he was staying, to meet Magdalena in May 2022.

He spent two weeks there - and realised he didn't want to leave.

So the pair moved in together and, a year later in May 2023, he proposed.

Romantic Romulo popped the question under the clock at Glasgow Central station where the couple first met.

Magdalena said: "It's just a lovely love story. We got on so well from the very start - we've always laughed a lot together.

"When we met it felt so easy, and everyone feels comfortable around him.

"And when we got engaged it was so romantic - just how it should be.

"A man from Marks & Spencer even came out with a bottle of champagne.

"It's worked out so well. It's like the universe is telling us to be together.

"I wouldn't usually just invite someone to the house, but I had no fear about that.

"And the risk goes both ways because he didn't know me either. The whole thing did feel surprising, but not worrying."

The couple got married at Hamilton register office on July 31, in front of 30 friends and family.

Romulo, who has one previous marriage, added: "I cannot describe my feelings the moment we were married.

"I feel so lucky. I see people every day who live their lives without finding love, and I have found it."

The couple plan to live in Scotland once Romulo's visa is sorted, with her child. His children will stay in Brazil.
