It was love in the aisles for a couple who met in a supermarket.

The last thing Sarah Jacob thought when she popped in to the Netto store, in Heybridge, was that she was about to meet the man of her dreams.

But that is exactly what she found when her mother accidentally knocked a packet of biscuits on to unsuspecting Nick Chivell.

After apologies were made, Mr Chivell, 33, and Miss Jacob, 35, got talking and phone numbers were exchanged right there in the shopping aisle of the store in the Bentall's Shopping Complex, off Colchester Road.

Three months later, Mr Chivell had proposed and the happy couple were soon walking down another kind of aisle altogether.
