A Californian mother-of-three married the man of her dreams only seconds after meeting him for the first time.

Erica Harris, 36, of Murrieta, and Arte Vann, of Earlton, New York, spontaneously met on Instagram in March of last year but got married when they saw each other for the first time.

Vann quit his job in New York and bought a one-way ticket to California, and shortly after he landed the two lovebirds laid eyes on each other for the first time.

Moments later, they got married and exchanged vows.

After being together for just three days, they say they are madly in love.

I didn’t realize how much I love this man,’ Harris told Daily Mail Online.

‘Now that we've spend three days together, I can't believe how much I love him.’

She invited CBS News to film the event as a gift to her new mother-in-law, who wouldn't be there.

‘I believe this man deserves a lot of love, and I want to give him the love he gives me,’ she said. ‘[Calling CBS] was a present to his mom, because she wouldn't be at the wedding since we were eloping.’

A spokesman for the airport said they had nothing to do with the nuptials and were alerted by local media prior to the event.

'It was set up by them. All we did was crowd control,’ the airport spokesman said. ‘Our PR told us they never met and the first time they met they got married in the terminal.’

Harris’s Instagram page now says she is married to the 'the man of her dreams' and Vann's says he is married to 'the love of his life'.

Harris said she knows their relationship is strong, and she is very much looking forward to the future with Vann.
