Love and marriage - via message in bottle
LONDON, Sun - Twenty-year-old Elizabeth Kaye was married yesterday to the boy she caught with a lemonage bottle 10 years ago.
The bottle with a message, thrown into the sea off the Yorshire coast, washed up at the feet of 13-year-old Erik Brekke in Hyide Sande, Denmark.
A pen-pal friendship started and blossomed into romance after they met in 1963. Later that year Erik asked Elizabeth to become his bride.
After the ceremony, Elizabeth said: "It's almost like a fairy story. I never expected the bottle to arrive anywhere, never mind receiving a reply like I did."
