In November 1904, Ida was one of two trained nurses (the other was a Miss Fowler) sent to reorganize the Seaman’s Hospital at Sulina, Romania, at the request of the wife of the Consul General, Lady Trotter. Philip Sarell was the Vic consul, and Lady Trotter warned the nurses that he was a “most interfering man and probably not quite right in the head.” Ida initially disliked him, but it did not last long. In July, 1905, Philip proposed to her, she accepted, and he wrote to her father, in London, who wrote a very cordial letter in response. They married at the Crimean Memorial Church in Constantinople, on the 2nd December 1905. Witnesses were Adam Block, Leon Ostrorog, and Agnes Sarell.
