I was a singer in a band called All Ends. He was an artist and a biker who just moved to Gothenburg to be closer to his motorcycle club. We met out a couple times through mutual friends and I would always catch him staring at me. I guess he was trying to figure out if I was already seeing someone.…

The Way We Met
When I met Priscilla I had no money, no car... I was working the front desk at the gym where she joined. When we started dating I literally told her, "I have nothing to offer you." Yet all she asked for was my heart. On December 16, 2015 we decided to get married, just the two of us without anyone…
We met on a dating app. On our first date we quickly realized how much we had in common, basically running parallel lives. We both shared a strong passion for traveling and an interest in seeing the vastness of the world. While enjoying a drink on our 2nd date during a beautiful spring day, Jack…
We met on the freeway! Yes, you read that correctly and no, I'm not making this up. 25 years ago I was driving on the 5 freeway in Santa Clarita when I saw a beautiful woman driving a yellow jeep with the top down. Her long curly permed hair was blowing in the wind (keep in mind it was the 90's, so…
Every relationship has a story but ours was pure fate. We both relocated our lives to Texas. I moved a few years before him, originally from Florida. He moved from California. At the end of 2004, I was working as a server at a restaurant when I turned around to go put an order in and noticed a cute…
Being a dog owner is a great way to meet people. It's funny how these unconditionally loving, voiceless animals have the ability to bring people together. We like to say Anne's dog Luna was our matchmaker. We would have never met if it wasn't for her. But we also would have never met if Anne wasn't…
Marj and Julian met through Instagram. Julian's page caught Marj's attention because she loved the unique photographs he shared- which were never of himself. She was especially drawn to the bible verses he used in his captions, as they really spoke to her. What started as an Instagram direct message…
In the summer of 1947, I was playing a softball game at camp Taylor in Louisville, Kentucky. Ruth showed up to the field with some of her girlfriends to watch us play. I slid into 3rd base while catching her eye, smiled and winked at her. 67 years, 10 kids, and 50+ grandchildren & great…
One afternoon I decided to go for a walk around Central Park. There was an outdoor festival/ flea market type thing going on which made for great people watching. I pulled out my camera and began taking photos when Nick came up to me. He asked me why I was in New York and I told him I was on my way…
This is the first couple I am posting about whose meeting I take credit for. I dragged the groom, Thomas, who was basically my roommate at the time (because my then boyfriend lived with him) along with me to a friend's house for a barbecue. Julie, the bride, was also at the barbecue. Thomas and I…
My friend sent a photo of me to her husband's best friend and said, "I found your future wife." He replied, "Perfect, just one last thing- when does she want to get married? Fall, spring, or summer? 10 months later we were engaged.
I went to see a friend's band play at a cool little club above the Roxy Theatre called On The Rox. I was talking to a friend when I first spotted Victoria. I thought she was the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on. She had long flowing blonde hair and was wearing a sweater. I remember the…
