A "teacher's pet" married her favourite schoolteacher after the pair fell in love despite a 25-year age gap.
Monica Foster, 32, first met and her now-wife, Michelle, 57, in 2004 when she was her science teacher.
Sixteen years later, Monica, a self-confessed "teacher's pet", searched on Facebook to see how her former favourite teacher was doing.
Michelle had been in a relationship with a woman in the past, and Monica had just come out as gay too.
The pair met up and became close friends before a developing a romantic connection - despite being mistaken for mother and daughter "several times every day".
Ignoring daily online abuse from trolls, the couple got engaged in autumn 2022.
