The couple had been video calling for just three weeks when Bridget invited Patrick out to Chicago to be her date for a wedding.

Bridget updates her TikTok with videos of her time with the Scot including the wedding he had flown out for. The video shows the two looking all loved up with The Proclaimers 500 Miles playing in the background.

In a more intimate clip, the pair are shown dancing and singing together on the dance floor looking comfortable together despite only meeting properly less than a week previous.

Bridget's TikTok updates have been viewed over 66,000 times as her latest wedding clip has been watched by 13,000.
