Story of Love
When you find the one person you can't live without, your soul mate, you grab it with both hands. Love like this happens only once in a lifetime...
Audraí O'Dwyer
Kilkenny, Ireland
Audraí or 'Audie' as she is known to her family was born in Kilkenny, Ireland to the late Anne and Noel O'Dwyer. Her beloved Dad died when she was 8, and her beautiful Mum passed away in 2009. Having lived in London and Sydney she returned to Dublin in 2014. She adopted her son Orry (4 legs and a waggy tail) in 2015. Audraí has travelled to over 100 countries and all 7 continents. In 2022, she took a solo cruise from New York to the Caribbean where she met Robert aka Ro, they bonded over photography and travel. His parting words to her were 'until faith brings us together again...', she knew then, this was the beginning of something wonderful but never dreamed she and Orry would move country to start a new era with the new love of their lives, Daddy/Ro!
Robert Nijssen
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
Robert (or 'Ro' to Audraí) was born in Rotterdam, The Netherlands to Geertje and Bas Nijssen. Having lived in various places in the Netherlands, Ro settled in the City of Dordrecht just 15 minutes from Rotterdam. Ro travelled to the Caribbean in 2022, where he was rescued from an insane woman (true story) by a friendly Irish lady, who like him, had a passion for travel and photography. After posting a photo on Facebook with his new friend Audraí, his friends back home could see this was the start of something wonderful... Ro never thought he would find true love or become a dad (to Orry) after 50 odd years... but he did, and has never been so happy.
