Note on €20 note re-unites two lost loves

A romantic message penned by a young Irish woman on a €20 note in the hope of re-uniting with a lost love is rapidly going viral.

The love note penned in blue ink reads: “Christy, it’s always been you! Come and find me — Megan x”.

Meath woman Denise O’Reilly was stunned to spot that €20 — with its echoes of romantic film Serendipity — when she opened her purse last Sunday morning.

Denise, who works at SuperValu, Kells, posted a photo of the money bill and its love-lorn words on her Facebook page in the hope of re-uniting the two lost loves.

“Found this is my purse this morning! Ah Christy, she loves you! Go get your girl. Come on people and share,” Denise wrote.

The post has been shared almost 16,000 times.

The wishful Irish message — sent longingly into the universe — is reminiscent of the plot from the 2001 film Serendipity starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

In the movie, star-crossed lovers Sara and Jonathan write messages to each other on a five-dollar bill and in a book, respectively, in the hope that one day they would each find the other’s note and know they are meant to be together.

Meanwhile, back on home soil, and with the power of social media, it appears Denise’s intervention may have worked its serendipitous magic.

A young Dublin-based musician named Christy this week posted an intriguing message on the supermarket worker’s page, telling readers: “Hey, just quick update: I’ve been in touch with Megan and it’s all good. Thanks so much for posting.”

So have Christy and Megan found their happy ending?

We have €20 on it that they just might have.
