their love story
On his show, Nev features real-life couples who have fallen for each other online but haven’t met yet. What he didn’t know, however, was that his net would go fishing from the catamaran and catch him in it.
As has become common among millennials, getting together and eventually falling in love on one of the social media platforms, long before a meeting ever happens, has become almost a custom. Nev and Laura’s case was no different. He saw her on Instagram and was struck by her personality. He then decided to message her and even went so far as to ask her out for dinner.
However, it seemed that it wasn’t just Nev who was captivated by her charms, Laura Perlongo was also in love. She gave a positive response to the invitation and let herself go on Nev’s motorbike the same day. She was, however, worried at first, given that it was the first time she had been picked up by a stranger and on a bicycle.
