Project: Torchwood
There for the Good Things
in Life
On 27th April
Rhian Ianto Cork from Bolton posted a status on Twitter asking for someone from
Wales to adopt her. We replied and
retweeted the post. It was read by many,
and responded by a few, but one person stood out from the crowd, and that was
Geraint Owen Davies, a Welshman from Cwmbran.
With the regular posts back and forth with Rhian, the pair struck up a
friendship, that extended to phone calls and Skype calls. They discovered they had similar tastes in
music, tv etc, as well as similar ‘troubles and tribulations’.
The pair made plans to
meet up at Cardiff ComicCon in November, as Rhian was going to Uni in
September, but as the Skype calls continued, some lasting between 6 – 8 hours
without so much as a pause, Geraint felt that he couldn’t be apart from Rhian
for that length of time, and being ‘an
impatient red headed Welshman’ took the bull by the horns and went for it.
“Why
should I forsake my happiness for others to be pleased?”
He told me. “So I asked her and luckily she said yes and the week after we were in
each other’s arms. And the rest is now
history. So thank you Project:
Torchwood.”
So there you go, we’re
not just here for fandoms, we’re here also for happy beginnings and you can’t
get much happier than that.
Congratulations at
finding true love - Geraint and Rhian!
From the guys that got
you talking!
