LONDON, July 11 (UPI) -- A British woman has married one of Osama bin Laden's sons following a "fairytale romance" in Egypt, a published report said.

Jane Felix-Brown, 51, of Moulton, Cheshire, Tuesday announced her marriage to Omar Osama bin Laden, 27, the al-Qaida leader's fourth eldest son, who works as a scrap metal dealer in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Felix-Brown, who recently resigned her post as a parish councilor in Moulton, said they fell in love after bin Laden saw her riding a horse near the Great Pyramid of Giza last September. They married in Islamic ceremonies in Egypt and Saudi Arabia in April, the Guardian reported Wednesday.

"I married a very quiet, a very kind man. It was a fairytale romance," said Felix-Brown who has been married several times previously, the British newspaper reported.

Felix-Brown said she expected some negative reaction to her marriage in Britain, but looked forward to the day when her husband could obtain a visa and join her in England.
