Couple who met on cruise ship stranded in Belfast to marry at sea
The Guardian
|September 26, 2024
They were supposed to be in Reykjavik, then Stockholm, then Paris. But for cruise passengers Angela Harsanyi and Gian Perroni, it was the romance of Belfast's docks that did it.
After four months stranded in the Northern Irish capital as their cruise ship underwent urgent repairs, the former strangers announced their engagement this week, saying their enforced stay in the "magnificent" city had been key to finding love.
Harsanyi, 53, from Colorado, and 62-year-old Perroni, a Canadian who formerly lived in Costa Rica, were thrown together in May when the 650-berth Villa Vie Odyssey's departure from Belfast was suddenly delayed because of problems with its rudders and gearbox.
