Couple re-enact Lady and Tramp kiss in record attempt - because they love pasta
An amorous couple tried to re-enact the iconic kiss on Lady and the Tramp as they ate spaghetti in an Italian restaurant - because they love pasta so much.
Mike Singer and Sophie Marstatt, both 23, say their "closeness has grown even more" following their smooch at the table at a pop-up Vapiano restaurant in Berlin, Germany.
They were, in fact, one of 600 smitten couples together trying to break the Guinness World Record for the most partners together to simultaneously enjoy a kiss along spaghetti - and they succeeded on International Kissing Day earlier this month.
A couple take part in the Guinness World Record attempt in Berlin (Vapiano)Mike, a musician from Germany, told Mirror: "It was a mega cool experience that we will not forget. You do not set a world record every day. We sat, there was delicious food, good drinks and not to forget our spaghetti kiss. It was something very special.
"It feels great to have broken this record, our closeness and love for Vapiano has grown even more. We choose to do this in the first place because we are huge Vapiano fans."

Photographs show the group of diners, gathered in the pop-up in an old hangar at a former airport, braced for the smooch. They had had a maximum of 30 seconds to complete a successful attempt, and did so, beating a record set last year by 433 couples in Belgium.
Scenes replicated that of Walt Disney's film Lady and the Tramp, in which the two title characters - a pair of hapless pooches - slurp up a piece of pasta in ultra-romantic style. They meet in the middle - by accident or design - for a cute kiss.
Some 600 couples completed the romantic challenge (Vapiano)Mike, and other participants, said the most difficult part was finding the technique to keep the slippery pasta intact and not to bite through the food. He and Sophie, though, quickly mastered the technique and locked lips within the allotted time in the hangar.
Vikki O’Neill, global marketing director of the Italian restaurant chain, said: "It's great that we were able to bring the world record back to Vapiano with the support of our fantastic guests - that makes us very proud. It's almost even nicer that we were able to celebrate love, good food and the Italian joy of life together with so many people on the International Kissing Day. After challenging times, this day is a special highlight."
There are only six of the establishments in the UK, but hundreds more in Central and Southern Europe.
