Tom Clifford and Janine Walker, who say they have ”great personalities”, plan to marry later this year following a whirlwind online romance.
The couple met less than a month ago on http://www.theuglybugball.com – a dating website for the ”aesthetically challenged”.
But after four dates they became engaged earlier this week.
Now the pair, who enjoyoed a mutual love of junk food and TV dinners, are planning a winter wedding near their respective homes in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire.
Mr Clifford, 36, a carpet fitter who has a ”face that makes children cry”, said: ”I’ve been a joke to women for years because of the way I look.
”I always thought that I was too ugly to meet Mrs Right but my life changed when I met Janine.
”She’s beautiful and I love her in every possible way. I still can’t believe this is happening.”
Mr Clifford, who has been single since 1998, spotted Janine, 31, on the site in late August.
His cover email read: ”Dear Janine, Just seen your beautiful face on The Ugly Bug Ball and would love to meet up. You live near me, so this shouldn’t be a problem.
”I’ve got a face that makes children cry but, as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder – and I think you’ll love me too.”
Miss Walker, a shop assistant who lives with her parents, agreed.
”The rest, as they say, is history,” she said.
