Tom Riley and Lizzy Caplan have been married for two years now, but their first date was very memorable.
When he got to her house, he wanted his breath to smell fresh. Therefore, he garbled some mouthwash in his car, rolled down the window and spit it out. There was just one problem. There was a cactus outside his window and one of the needles shot up into his eye.
Did that stop him from going on his date? He told Phillip Schofield on This Morning, that he knocked on her door and went inside. Eventually, he told her what happened and they spent the rest of their date in the hospital.
Four surgeries and $20,000 later, he was able to keep the sight in his eye. Which is a good thing because he was able to see his beautiful wife on their wedding day in Italy and every day since.
That day, she crossed his heart and he stuck a needle in his. Now they will be together until they die.
