Man excused from jury duty because he’s fallen in love for the first time

How sweet!

We love a good heartwarming story.

A 54-year-old Irish man has been excused from jury duty because he has fallen in love for the first time.

The man explained to the judge that he wouldn’t be able to serve during the weekend, due to having a weekend getaway planned with his partner.

Sarah-Jane Murphy, an Irish journalist, took to her Twitter to explain how the conversation went down.

According to The Irish Sun Murphy also revealed that the man seemed very hesitant at first, but at the end of explaining, very confident.

“The judge broke into a broad smile and the man walked away grinning,” Murphy said.

“The woman beside me turned to me and said, ‘did I imagine that?'”

Love most definitely conquers all!
