Smiling she added: "In ONE year after being in the convent for FIVE."

Adding a smiling emoji she signed off "When you know, you know."

"It was meant to be," said another.

Other's took the opportunity to share their similar experiences in the comments of her post.

"I met my husband for the first time and ten months later we were married. 'When you know, you know' was defiantly applied" one person said.

Another commented: "I met mine, engaged and married within a month. Been married five years now."

Others commented with confusion about her leaving the convent and how she was allowed to marry.

"I thought once you were a nun it was forever" commented one person.

The woman replied: "Nope! I hadn't made my final vows yet so I was free to leave. But even after final vows, you can get special permission to leave."
