A couple who got engaged after six days of knowing each other and got pregnant two months later say they have proved doubters wrong.<br /><br />Jenny Koos, 36, and Lovemark Boadu, 44, met at a party in July 9, 2021, after their mutual DJ friend set them up.<br /><br />The pair said they were “drawn” to each other and knew they were each other's person by the end of the night and discussed wanting to have a child together.<br /><br />Six days later they found rings in one of Jenny’s drawers and decided to get engaged.<br /><br />Knowing they wanted a child together and started trying for a baby after just two weeks of dating and after two miscarriages they fell pregnant in September 2021.<br /><br />They were told their baby had heterotaxy syndrome at the 20-week scan – a rare syndrome where organs in the chest and abdomen have abnormalities or are in different positions.<br /><br />But the couple said the worries surrounding it “propelled” their relationship and their little girl was born completely healthy on June 7, 2022.<br /><br />Jenny, a fertility awareness educator, from Malmö, Sweden, said: “His face was the first face I saw.<br /><br />“I was just drawn to him.<br /><br />“We were talking, and then we were dancing and then nothing else existed.<br /><br />“We put together our children and made this a family within weeks of meeting.<br /><br />“It may seem crazy, but we had all these friends in common, vouching for us.<br /><br />“It wasn’t a random stranger.”<br /><br />Lovemark, a teacher, said: “I felt the same way she felt.<br /><br />“I thought: 'Oh s**t who is that?'<br /><br />“It was a deeper connection at first sight.<br /><br />“I knew this is the one.”<br /><br />Both Jenny and Lovemark had been divorced and had four children between them from their previous relationships - aged six, nine, 10 and 13.<br /><br />They had both been working on “personal growth” and knew they didn’t want to get into anything “messy”.<br /><br />Jenny said: “Our friend told me to come to this party he was DJing at.<br /><br />“He told Lovemark ‘Jenny is going to be there, and you guys are going to vibe’.<br /><br />“He both knew we would like each other.<br /><br />“But I don’t think he knew how much we would click.<br /><br />"He probably didn’t expect the call the next day saying ‘oh, we’re going to get married’.”<br /><br />After meeting the pair spent the night talking and dancing together – covering all topics and eventually working out they were both single.<br /><br />Jenny said: “We talked about everything at that night.<br /><br />“We really went through everything. The financial aspects, history, break-ups.<br /><br />“It wasn’t silly love.<br /><br />“After we had all those important conversations, I just told him ‘I’m just going to give you a child’ and he said ‘yes, you will’. This is for life.<br /><br />“That was it.”<br /><br />Jenny met Lovemark’s family three days later and he met her relatives two weeks later when they came back from a holiday.<br /><br />Jenny said: “In my mind we got engaged the first night because we said 'this is it'.<br /><br />“We found a couple of rings in a drawer after five days – that were my grandmother's old rings – so we put them on.”<br /><br />They started trying to conceive a baby after two weeks of dating and, following two early miscarriages, they found out they were expecting in September 2021.<br /><br />At the 20-week scan their unborn daughter, now one, was diagnosed with heterotaxy syndrome and had to decide whether to terminate the pregnancy or not.<br /><br />They decided to go ahead with scans every week for the remainder of the pregnancy but didn’t know how she would be impacted until the birth.<br /><br />Jenny said: “They were pretty crass and dire about it.<br /><br />“We were extremely worried for her.<br /><br />“It propelled the relationship even deeper.<br /><br />“Miraculously she isn’t impacted.”<br /><br />Their daughter was born on June 7, 2022, and spent a month in neonatal while they ran tests to check she was OK.<br /><br />Jenny said: “She’s a love child.<br /><br />“We went headfirst into being parents.<br /><br />“It’s been very intense.<br /><br />“It’s a very blissful state.”<br /><br />The parents “haven’t had the chance” to tie the knot but hope to have a proper big wedding in the next few years.<br /><br />Jenny said: “We got married on the day we decided to keep her.<br /><br />“There is no ceremony that could be bigger than us.”<br /><br />Their family and friends have mostly been supportive of the relationship – as the pair have lots of mutual friends who could see their connection.<br /><br />Lovemark said: “Some people were like 'are you sure?'<br /><br />“But they saw how I was behaving.”<br /><br />Jenny said: "We're showing that is is possible. Happiness and love doesn't have to be polished.<br /><br />"It's not luck. It's lucky we met but we did a lot of mindful work on ourselves to get here."
