Amazing Love Story-Woman getting married to man who begged her for money(Photos)

A magazine seller is getting married to a woman he met when he asked her for money while begging.
Jack Richardson, 37, first met  47 year old wife-to-be Toni Robinson almost two years ago, when he asked her for money.
But Toni apologised saying that she had none - and kind-hearted Jack ended up giving her 50p for her electricity meter so she wouldn't have to spend Christmas in the dark.
Over the next year, Toni often walked past Jack's Big Issue pitch in central Bristol, and they became close friends.The pair fell for each other - and Jack never left.
Jack, who was made homeless in 2012 and now works seven days a week selling the Big Issue, said:

"I was in a really bad place when I met Toni.I was having to beg every day just to get enough money for a night in a bed and breakfast.It was coming up to Christmas 2013 and I wandered up to this woman to ask her for money and she just burst into tears."She had bought everything ready for Christmas and thought she had saved enough money for the metre, but when she put it in it wasn't enough.

She was a couple of pennies away from spending Christmas in the dark. Even though I was begging, I gave her the 50p to put her lights back on."When I first met Toni, it threw me off guard completely. It completely took me by surprise. She had that effect on me from the very first moment. "We began talking to each other every few weeks as she walked by.

At first it was trivial stuff, but then we began sharing a lot and becoming quite close. When I went to stay with her we fell for each other."Every day used to be a struggle. I had considered ending my own life. I couldn't see any way out of the situation and it just seemed to keep getting harder."I couldn't see any future. But now I have someone stable who I love and who loves me."I'm able to look to the future."I didn't think anyone could possible be romantically interested in someone who lived in a garage. Everything has changed."Essentially I've gone from being a tramp living in a garage, to living indoors with an amazing woman."I have never felt so intensely and deeply about anything before in my life. It's amazing."

Toni,47 who is unable to work due to health issues, said she was as blown away by Jack as he was by her.
 "Jack has always said that I saw through the homeless person and saw the person underneath.

"I have had people ask me for money before, and when I couldn't afford to give them any I would get upset.But Jack went into his pocket and gave me what I needed. Someone without a roof over his head had enough money to help me.
"He had dignity. It just really blew me away. I was so thrown, I gave him a hug.
"The next time I bumped into him, he had his Big Issue badge. I kept seeing him, and the more I did, the more I liked him.
"Before, I was bumbling around on my own. He has changed my outlook on everything completely.
"It has been one mad love story."

Jack and Toni plan to get married early next year, and hope to have a traditional but intimate ceremony, with close friends and family.
