I fell in love with a Greek waiter on vacation that shot shots in my mouth – now we live together and couldn’t be happier

The family vacation of a woman became a ‘Mamma Mia -story’ when she found love with the Greek waiter who gave shots in her mouth – and now they have moved together.

Beth Winstone, 21, from Birminghamdrained to Zakynthos, GreeceWith her mother and grandmother in August 2023 and visited the restaurant where her family had gone every year.

She said she was not looking for love after she came out of a ‘bad’ relationship a few months earlier, but met Gabriel Alia, 25 while working as a waiter in his uncle’s restaurant.

Beth said that Gabriel took her for a drink on the third night of her vacation, and she immediately fell in love and met him every day for the rest of the journey.

But when Beth returned to the UK, she said she got a flight back to Greece only two weeks later to see Gabriel because she didn’t want to be his.

The Greek waiter ‘asked Beth to be his girlfriend’, and the two have since been inseparable, where Beth claims that she has found true love and that Greek men are ‘different’ than British men.

The content -maker said that Gabriel bought her drinks and danced with her and helped her to “get out of her shell” after her break up.

Beth said: ‘In August 2023 my grandfather and my grandmother had already booked to go to Zante and I booked at the last minute, a month before we were the intention to go.

‘We went back to [a] restaurant [that the family liked to visit] And then we met. I had a relationship earlier, it ended and it destroyed me mentally, it was really bad.

‘I had absolutely no expectations in my head, I never wanted to talk to anyone again and that happened then.

‘When we were in the restaurant, I was just not consciously because I was nothing looking.

“He kept trying to talk to me and asked if I smiled ever because I apparently had a moody face.

‘It just went from there, he took me on the third night of the holidays for a drink. Then we would see each other of the holiday every day, in the night after he finished work.

‘When I got home, two weeks later I flew back alone for five days, because he was still working.

‘I came home and two days later at 2 o’clock in the morning I bought tickets for a flight from Manchester to Zante at 6 am. I surprised him, he didn’t know I was going.

‘The first time I went back after two weeks, he asked me to be his girlfriend, but I was still a bit insecure because of the long distance. But of course I said yes.

‘It is the way he was with me, he would make me laugh and take me and take me out, not what most men do today, he wanted to get to know me and meet my family and so, they loved him. It was meant.

‘Greek men are different from English men, let me tell you. I definitely had a Mamma Mia story, that is what all my friends said.

‘The relationship is getting better and better, we have not been apart every day since we met. He is the love of my life. ‘

After it has gone back and forth between Zakynthos and Birmingham, the couple now live together in the UK with Gabriel who works for Beth’s father in his scaffolding company.

Beth said: ‘I went back to Greece with my mother and Nan in October, I quit my job as a waitress and then moved for a whole week.

‘As soon as the summer season ended in Greece, he flew back to England with me to meet my father.

‘We moved back to Greece in November, we got a house in Zante, and after Christmas we decided to go back to the UK because it was really difficult for me to find a job there in the winter.

‘We both tried and we decided that we like it here. I moved there just after two months that he had met him, but I knew it was something, and it was.

“I definitely did not expect that I would be with a Greek man, I just went on vacation with my mother and gran and my cousin, it all happened so quickly.”

Beth explained that she had visited Zante with her family since 2012 and had met Gabriel before she was younger, but had not recognized him.

Beth posted her and Gabriel’s story on social media, in a video that has collected more than 500,000 views.

A commentator said, “Greek men are built differently, you will be together forever.” Another said, “Trust with him and go back to Greece.” A third added: “I witnessed a true love story.”

It comes afterwards A woman who fell ‘incredibly in love’ for a holiday union during a girl’s trip to Turkey moved 2,000 miles to start a new life with him – And now they plan their wedding.

Erin Milton, 21, was won by Holiday Entertainer, Aylen Boudjouraf, 24, during a love trip in September 2022.

Love flourished after the club representative and a friend invited to a disco bar crawling around the popular Southern Coastal Resort Antalya on the first day of their journey.

They spent the rest of the holiday together and after returning ‘deeply sad’, made the spontaneous decision to leave her university court and move to Turkey only two months later.

The beloved couples are now engaged and live together in Tunisia, Africa. Erin, from Birmingham, said: “There was an immediate connection between me and Aymen. As soon as I returned to the UK, I just didn’t feel happy and I just knew that I wanted to be there with him.

“Now we are engaged and we can’t wait to start the rest of our lives together.”

After his return of her £ 1,000, seven -day vacation, it felt ‘lost’ without her new boyfriend.

The couple spent hours on the phone every day, but after two months of divorce, it decided, an online teacher of English, to stop her Birmingham City University course.

She picked the courage to tell her parents and bought a £ 70 one -way aircraft ticket to Turkey, which departs 48 hours later.

After arriving in Turkey, the couple spent a week in a hotel before moving to an apartment of £ 150 a month, but it was during the first three weeks that she started to feel ‘lonely’.

She said: ‘Aymen took the first two days off to show me in the area and teach me the basis of the Turkish language.

“But then he worked seven days a week, and although the neighbors would often come by, I felt lonely in the apartment all day alone.”

Four months later, the couple uprooted again and settled in Guzeloba, Turkey.

It said: ‘We were so happy there because it was a beautiful area and the community was great.

‘But in February 2023 my work applied for a residence for me and I had an SMS two months later to say that this was rejected.

‘I felt my whole crashing and I cried for days because I was afraid that we would be separated.

“I had to go back to England for three months at the end of April, while I waited for my tourist visa to be renewed.”

Three months later, in August 2023, she was reunited with Aymen – only to discover that his residence in Turkey had been rejected after three years of living in the country.

The couple only had 10 days to find somewhere else to live, but ‘complications’ forced them to cross their visas for four months.

“We had so much to sort in such a short time and it was impossible to do in 10 days,” said it.

‘Because Aymen has an Algerian passport, there were many countries that were already off the list, but we would not let this break.

“After days of searching, we discovered that Tunisia was the best option, and although we had not visited the country before, we were determined to have it work.”

On September 11, 2023, Aylen, who now works as a translator, suggested in it after renting out a private beach. A month later they moved to Tunisia to start their new life together.
