LONDON -- The forced sex at home videospeople behind corporate Twitter accounts are a mystery to us all. Witty, creative and enigmatic, they are the unsung heroes of the social media world.
But, one woman's tweet to bookstore Waterstones' official Twitter account not only unveiled the identity of the man behind it; it led to a first date, a love story, and -- most recently -- a wedding.

Victoria's tweet didn't go unnoticed, however. Her Waterstones crush replied to her overtures.

According to Victoria's Twitter crush -- now husband -- Jonathan O'Brien, the two tweeted back and forth a bit before meeting in person.
"One day Victoria came into the shop with doughnuts, I ate them (giving away a very cavalier attitude to food from strangers)," Jonathan told Mashable.
The two went for a short walk on Jonathan's lunch break, and later went out to a secret cocktail bar together.
"It was easily the best first date I've ever been on (and hopefully the last first date I'll ever go on). I brought a book of The Wizard of Ozas a present because Victoria had mentioned to me how much she loves the film," Jonathan continued.
Four years later, Victoria and Jonathan tied the knot at Islington Town Hall, London. (With another appearance of Pokémon into their lives.)

And, of course, that first tweet got a special mention in Victoria's speech, Jonathan's speech, and the best man's speech.
"None of us knew the others would mention it," said Jonathan.

And the rest, as they say, is Twitter history.
