Love's Point Of View: How George And Amal Clooney Fell In Love With Each Other
George and Amal Clooney are a couple that defined public's expectations. When they met, he was a 51-year-old Hollywood old-timer, and she was a successful 35-year-old international lawyer. But, despite the age difference and the opposite careers, these two fell deeply in love.

George's point of view
Anyone who'd heard about George Clooney knew that he was opposed to marriage, and said he would never do it again. The actor was briefly married in the beginning of the 90s, before his career took off. Little did he know that he would get smitten by a goddess in less than six months.

After their initial meeting, they stayed in touch. Not long after, George invited Amal to see him in London. They spent several weeks there together, before going on a safari in Kenya. After that, he knew he was going to propose.

Amal's point of view
Amal's view on marriage was both similar and different to George's. She was at the point of her life where she wanted the love that would happen naturally. With her career and already being 35, Amal wasn't sure it was going to happen for her at all.
