A woman fell in love with a topless waiter she hired for her divorce party, and if that's not closure, we're not sure what is...
Not all heroes wear capes; some wear a bow tie and not much else, which was the case for Gabriella Landolfi, who was swept off her feet by a topless waiter she'd hired.

The romance started in March 2019, when Gabriella, 29, decided to have a party to celebrate her divorce.
We mean, if the Queen gets two birthdays, why not, aye?
So, her divorce was final and Gabriella wanted to have some fun with friends, which obviously meant hiring a bunch of topless waiters and getting off her face.
But, the real shock came the next morning, when Gabriella didn't just wake up with a hangover, but a text from John Landolfi, one of the waiters.

The astute among you will notice that they have the same last name, so you can probably work out where this is going.
John texted Gabriella to check she was alright and the relationship developed from there, with the Aussie humanities teacher saying: "I never expected to get into a relationship with the topless waiter I hired for my divorce party - let alone marry him.
"But when I got to know him, I could see what an amazing guy he was.

"It was quite the whirlwind and I’m so glad I hired him.
"At first I thought he was too into his looks, but I couldn't have been more wrong," never judge a book by its cover, right?
Ecstatic about how things turned out, Gabriella added: "Now I have the most beautiful family."
With John chiming in to say: "When I saw Gabbie I thought she was cool and I wanted to get to know her.

"I was just looking for a friendship and I never expected to find my wife.
"I was doing my job and I never thought this would happen."
All in a day's work, we guess.

John has a daughter from a previous relationship and was thrilled when Gabriella fell pregnant in August 2020, particularly because Gabriella has PCOS, a condition that can impact fertility.
Unfortunately, Gabriella suffered a miscarriage in November 2020, two weeks before she married John.
It was a 'really hard' time for the couple but they managed to pull through, and after getting married they welcomed a baby boy, Matteo, in July 2021.
