The goth pair from Haverhill, Suffolk claim they are vampires and feed from
each other up to four times a week.
They've only been dating since February after they met on a dating website.
But Lia, 20, insists she fell in love at first BITE with the unemployed 38-year-old father-of-five - who claims to hail from the same region of Romania as Vlad the Impaler.
Lia said: "From the moment we met, I knew Aro was the one.
"When he told me he was a vampire, it was exciting. I didn’t realise vampires actually existed, but I’d always hoped they did."
After a three-week whirlwind romance, Aro proposed - and a week later he turned her into a vampire during a bizarre blood-sharing ceremony.
She said: "When he explained that blood sharing would bring us closer together, I asked him to turn me.
"Aro cut himself with a razor on the back of his arm and then he offered me his blood. Then I cut myself and he drank from me too."Suddenly I felt the energy rushing through me. It took a day for the transformation to be complete, and afterwards I felt revitalised. It was a magical experience - much more intimate than sex."
She said: "If I don’t drink blood, I suddenly start feeling very weak."
The couple have even bought pigs blood from an abattoir for an extra fix.
But Lia insists members of the public shouldn't fear their fetish.
She explained: "It’s not like we’ll go round biting just any old person in the street. We only share blood with each other, and we’ve both had tests done."
Despite the 18-year age gap and their unconventional relationship, Lia insists her parents approve of Aro - who discovered he was adopted by a London couple when he was a teenager, before changing his name from Glen Layton.
She explained: "They’re happy for us. At the start of the relationship dad said he wasn’t very happy about it, but that’s just him being overprotective. But now he’s got to know Aro, he’s fine with it."
