Dorothy Sims, a 70 year old woman fell head over heels for a Tunisian waiter on holiday and promptly got married to him until he was denied entry into the UK.
Ms Sims, met Rafaa on holiday and said there was an immediate attraction.. She said: "I never said anything, I never did anything and then he sent me a little note, would I like to go for a coffee. Out of the blue."
Dorothy was on holiday with her sister and when she saw the note. She said to her sister "'Is he crackers, what does he want with an old biddy like me with all these young birds around?' "
The loved up couple got married shortly after their holiday romance but Rafaa was denied entry into the UK and decided to find work in Saudi Arabia.
They tried to keep the long distance marriage going but it sadly didn't last. Dorothy is very upset about the break-up and added: "I've cried buckets, I have really. Lots of happy memories. Walks along the beach, and he's a very romantic man."
