A former homeless man is getting married to a woman he tried to sell the Big Issue to, before giving her money to help her out. Jack Richardson gave Toni Osborne 50 pence towards her electricity, after she confessed she was too poor to buy the magazine. The couple stayed in touch and she offered to put him up when the room he was squatting in was boarded up. Two years after they met, he proposed at his pitch in Bristol. She said "her heart burst".
