Man spots himself photobombing fiancee's childhood photo

It's the kind of a story straight out of a fairytale.

When Verona Koliqi from London showed her fiancé Mirand Buzaku a childhood family photo taken during a visit to a beach in Montenegro, he noticed something striking in the background.

A picture of a young boy floating on a lilo in the sea behind the Koliqi family appeared to be wearing the same clothes he once owned.

"He noticed the kid in the back had the same shirt, shorts and floaty as him," Koliqi is quoted as saying by The Independent. Adding, "We analysed further and confirmed with family members that it’s him photobombing my family photo."

Buzaku’s family confirmed it was very likely him because they had visited the beach around that time.

While they never met as children, they did cross paths in Kosovo in 2016. A year later they were engaged.

Since sharing their story on Instagram it has gained a lot of love and 31,215 likes.
