Amal Alamuddin and George Clooney
Amal Alamuddin was on the search for a perfect man before she met George Clooney, says her best friend.
The human rights lawyer was worried she would never meet her soul mate according to her close friend, Jae Kim.
During the couple's romantic Venetian wedding ceremony on Saturday (27.09.14), Jae made a touching speech as she recalled how she and the barrister had been discussing their love lives last summer and how Amal wouldn't settle for less than perfect.
According to People magazine, Jae shared: "[We] stayed up talking late into the night about relationships and whether she would ever meet her partner in life. She had just been picked as the 'Hottest Barrister in London' and I was concerned that this would not work in her favour, as most men found her intimidating already.
"The list of things she was looking for in this man, she readily admitted, could not realistically be found in one person. She was looking for Mr. Perfect, and he was nowhere to be found."
Although she is happy for her friend now, Jae admitted to the wedding party that she had her doubts at the start because of George's reputation as a ladies' man.
She explained: "Is she going to get hurt? He isn't exactly Mr. Commitment, I thought. [But] you could see in the way he held himself, treated her and others, and enjoyed life that his heart was big and he loved her with all of it."
