Everyone seems to be shipping this couple.
Passengers on a luxury cruise have been stranded in Belfast as their ship underwent urgent and unexpected repairs.
With the Villa Vie Odyssey docked in Northern Ireland, the cruisegoers have had loads of time to fall in love with the capital city — and one another.
Angela Harsanyi and Gian Perroni met in Belfast 4 months ago, after they were alleged to embark on the 425-destination, three-year cruise — and this week they announced their engagement.
Harsanyi, 53, from Colorado, and Perroni, 62, from Canada, found that their forced stay in local hotels within the “magnificent” city led them to search out that they “were made for one another.”
“About six weeks ago, we began walking forwards and backwards to the ship day-after-day together,” Harsanyi told The Guardian.
“It was about an hour’s walk, there and back day-after-day. And thru that, we actually began finding how similar we were and the way much we actually enjoyed one another’s company. And we discovered that the hour walk wasn’t long enough … We found that we definitely had so much more in common, and desired to be greater than friends.”
Now, the pair has matching tattoos and plans to get married onboard in April when the ship sails between the Panama Canal and Costa Rica, Perroni’s former home.
The ship’s captain will marry the brand new couple as a part of a “gigantic wedding.”
The people on the cruise have either rented or purchased their villas, which cost about $120,600 to 348,300.
Harsanyi bought her cruise residence on board along with her sister Lisa, who will join her in the approaching months — but Perroni doesn’t mind.
“One part I actually love about Gian is that that doesn’t trouble him in any respect. He really respects that it is a girls’ trip, and that’s what I got here here for – and it’s pretty hard to search out a person open enough to that when he first gets married,” she shared.
She ultimately got the villa because she decided she needed a change in her life about 2½ years ago.
“I made a decision just to alter every part about my life,” she said. “It sounds form of crazy to say, but I got uninterested in being so comfortable … Being in Colorado, we definitely don’t have any oceans surrounding us, so I just wanted the very opposite of what I used to be used to.”
Perroni also needed a shake-up.
“He just got uninterested in the in-and-out, same routine stuff each day. He said when this [cruise information] hit his inbox and he examine it, he knew immediately he was going to do it.”
The ship is now expected to set sail in the approaching weeks, and Perroni and Harsanyi will give you the option to enjoy their time at sea together — though Harsanyi “absolutely, utterly enjoyed Belfast.”
“I believe it’s a good looking, fun, vivid, resilient community. I’ve never met friendlier folk in my life. The bars are a blast. The culture is wonderful. The architectural designs knock my socks off.
“The country is spectacular. If there was more sunshine, I can be here for ever.”
