A woman who fell in love with a prisoner whom she had never met in person has revealed the couple is now planning their wedding.
22-year-old Breah Sutton from Swindon, England, fell head over heels for 32-year-old Harley Webb while he was serving time for burglary and extended time for harassment of his ex-girlfriend.
Though the young man was admittedly “in and out of prison” for the majority of his adult life, Breah knew he was the one for her after she began chatting with him via phone when her friend introduced the two because she was also dating another inmate at the time.
After nearly one year of a platonic relationship, Breah was finally able to visit her boyfriend and see him in person. She also surprised him with a tattoo of his initials inked onto her upper body.
From there, things moved quickly and the pair got engaged just one day after Harley’s release in January. As of their latest update, the couple are planning their wedding and looking forward to start living together as husband and wife.
“The first time we got to hug it was just so surreal, I was crying, it doesn’t seem real. It’s like I’m living a dream,” the 22-year-old recalled.
“It’s crazy finally being together after just visits and phone calls for so long but it’s like we’ve known each other forever, there are no awkward moments or anything.
“He proposed to me the next day in a park with a firework display. I’ve never felt like that ever in my life, I was lost for words and really emotional. I had no idea. Everyone was guessing that he would propose but I didn’t want to get my hopes up so I wasn’t expecting it.”
Speaking of their plans for the future, she added: “The first thing we want to do is get a place together so we’re saving for a deposit and then we’ll start planning the wedding.
“We’re hoping to move down here because it’s so lovely here and away from everything else like a fresh start.”
Meanwhile, Harley expressed his love for his partner as he admitted that his new life seems unreal.
“I knew I was going to propose to her when I got out. She’s stood by me in jail and she’s just a good girl, she’s got a heart of gold and she’d do anything for you,” he said.
“You couldn’t ask for a better partner to be with so I knew I had to drop the question to her. I was quite nervous but she said yes and I was over the moon – it was a good job she said yes because I already had the firework display set up.”
Feeling grateful for another opportunity and another chance in love, he added: “Meeting Breah has changed my life for the better because before that, when I lost my mum, I was lost, in and out of prison, around the wrong people and on the wrong track.
“But now I’m moving away from London and Swindon and settling down with Breah, it’s going good.”
