While planning their wedding, Aimee Madden and Nick Wheeler were leafing through old holiday photos and were shocked to find a picture of two of them playing together - 11 years before they met.
 
On a summer holiday in Mousehole, Cornwall, six-year-old Nick met the five-year-old Cornish native Aimee and they spent the day building sandcastles together.
 
“The photo was taken by Nick's granddad”, Aimee says. “Nick is sitting front right in the boat with his sister and two cousins and his family, his mum, uncle and nan are to the right and behind them.
 
"To the left and behind his cousin I'm in the blue swimsuit with my mum, dad and sister.”
 
 
The playmates went their separate ways after that day on the beach, and forgot all about each other.
 
"What makes it even more significant was that; although I was brought up in Mousehole, Nick and his family didn't even live in Cornwall at the time, " Said an amazed Aimee.
 
A year after this chance meeting, Nick and his family moved to the area, and met Aimee again in his teens when they were in school together.
 
The couple married last weekend, 20 years after the photo was taken, at Gulval Church in Mousehole just minutes walk away from the beach.
