Julia Cox, 34, from Coventry, had been ignored and taunted by men online because of her facial disfigurement. She was born with a birthmark above her eye, which grew until it was eventually diagnosed as a benign tumour, causing partial blindness and deafness. She was mocked by children at school and her colleagues at work. Finally she found happiness when she met her husband Graham (right), and walked down the aisle two weeks ago.
