This sounds like a scene straight out of Love Actually!
Journalist and court reporter Sarah-Jane Murphy was sitting through jury selection at the Criminal Courts of Justice yesterday when a little bit of magic, courtesy of the soundest judge ever, came her way.
Jury selection, CCJ, yesterday.
Man: I can’t serve; I’m away for weekend.
Judge: We don’t sit at weekends.
Man: I’m away till Monday. I’m 54, a bachelor & it’s my 1st time in love.
Judge: Then you GO and you GO with my blessing.It was truly an epic moment â¤ï¸

It's like this was scripted for a rom-com, something Sarah-Jane's followers were quick to point out.
I had to force myself not to stand up & applaud.

This honestly sounds like the ending to a film and it’s lovely!

Guilty of 'Love In The First Degree', perhaps?
