Most people's stories of meeting their S.O. are usually mundane and predictable, but for others this isn't the case at all. Some's meeting and falling in love tales are so freakin' cute, they almost make you want to vomit, as these people more than proved.
The Bad Wingman
“My fiancé and I met in the first week of college because he was trying to be a wing man for one of his friends. He’s really cute and is a bad wing man.” (Source)
The Falling Wife
“She fell into my lap at a Christmas party. Literally! I was sitting on a couch; she came in, tripped over something, and landed on my lap. Not sure what was said after that, but we had a date two weeks later; got married six months later, and had 38 wonderful years until she died last year.” (Source)
The British Connection
“I was using a dating site to find other single parents to have another adult to talk to when I took the kid out to do things. Because of odd hours, I ended up talking to a guy from London. (I was in Atlanta, GA at the time.) After 3 months of ridiculous phone bills and two trips, we got married. 16 years later, he’s getting to vote in his first presidential election.” (Source)
The Missing Son
“I met the love of my life in Art Appreciation class back in college. We were both 18 years old. We noticed each other from across the auditorium. He started sitting right behind me. Eventually, after talking in class for a while we went for a walk at the mall. It happened to be Halloween, so everybody was in costumes except for us. Very magical and surreal, now that I think about it. We ended up talking in the parking lot for hours. I asked him if he would get in trouble with his parents for being out so late. He nonchalantly said, ‘nah.’ Well, 14 years, 2 kids, and a house later, he confessed that his mom called the police and reported him missing because it was 2 a.m. and he wasn’t home yet. Good times.” (Source)
Monty Python Love
“Had a job at the fort (historical site, tours and stuff). I was a musician and they asked if I could try learning to play bugle. The boss’ daughter had a friend who played trumpet. She tried teaching me but I was hopeless. A few months later I shared a three-legged kitchen chair with her at a new year’s party. Several months of dating go by, we’re watching TV and a Monty Python commercial came on, at the end it says ‘if your girlfriend laughed at this, marry her.’ She did, so I did. We’ll be married 12 years this fall, have 2 kids, and I still love her more than anything.” (Source)
Movie Set Love
“It was my first day working on my very first movie set. I was the on set costumer (basically anything to do with actor’s clothing was my job). It was a kid’s movie so obviously there were a lot of kid actors running around. As I walked to set for the first time from the trailers one of the kids pointed to a man I had never met and said to me, ‘that guy loves you’ loud enough for both of us to hear. I was mortified. But I looked at him and smiled and said, ‘apparently you love me.’ He said, ‘I guess I do.’ We celebrate our 16th wedding anniversary in August.” (Source)
Love Can Save
“She was in a controlling abusive relationship. Absolutely terrified of leaving a monster out of fear. One day things were pretty bad for me. I don’t normally do this but I went to church on Sunday, April 3, 2011. Didn’t know anyone so I sat in the back. Saw a beautiful girl sitting alone. Apparently, this was her first time going to church as well in search of some sort of escape. It took a few weeks to muster up the courage to approach her, and when I finally did we immediately clicked and started to become very close very fast. We both expressed that church wasn’t really our thing and we were sort of in a crisis and decided to spend time together. Our first official time hanging out I figured out she sung. Beautifully. I am a musician, of course we immediately left our activity and went to play the piano and sing at the music school I worked at. From that moment on things took a drastic turn. I fell in love. Nowadays we have a little music duo and tour all over northern California playing local shows. I get to do what I love, with the love of my life. And I couldn’t ask for anything else in the world. The wedding is scheduled for April 3, 2016.” Source
You Are Fired
“She was my boss. She fired me and then we became an item.” (Source)
The Catfished Eyes
“My now wife worked at a gas station. I’d go in just to see her. I don’t know how much money I spent just to see those beautiful blue eyes. We would flirt back and forth and one day she was on my list of suggested friends on Facebook. I added her and sent her a message. We started hanging out and the rest is history. Her eyes catfished me though, they were contacts.” (Source)
The Cute Oompa Loompa
“I met her in high school. She’s pretty short & when we met she was wearing overalls. I thought she looked like a cute little oompa loompa. So I looked at her & said, ‘What’s up Oompa.’ She got mad and punched me in the arm. (For those interested we’re coming up on 15 years together. Also she just found this comment & informed me that I’m ‘so damn stupid’ while giggling like school girl).” (Source)
Battling With Words With Friends
“I met her in the community match on Words with Friends. Neither of us had any idea who the other person was but soon realized we had mutual friends in common. Spent the next week messaging back and forth, then decided to meet for coffee the following Saturday. It’s been a year and a half since our first date, we now live together and still battle it out over Words with Friends.” Source
The Reddit Connection
“We met on reddit. We got chatting about our problematic families and religion on r/exmuslim, and started PMing each other. Never ever thought that we would be more than online penpals, being on different continents and all. Allowed us to be way more honest, I suppose. You don’t fear judgement from someone you don’t think you will ever meet, it’s the whole intimacy of strangers thing. Well, after a few months of that, she ended up traveling to my country with family, and we managed to make a date for coffee. Which ended up with us spending two days together. We got married in December and she’s making me breakfast right now.” (Source)
He Never Went Home
“We met at work. He was working as a temp. My boss introduced us and said, ‘she will show you everything.’ I did. Seriously, I was going through a rough time and decided I wanted to have a one night stand. Like many things in life, I failed at this. He just never went home. We’ve been together for 25 years now.” (Source)
Does Anyone Have an Apple?
“It was high school. We were in a play, he was playing a teacher and needed an apple. He yelled across the hall, ‘DOES ANYONE HAVE AN APPLE’ and I did and that was that. It’s been ten years, nearly.” (Source)
The Real BeJeweled
“We met via some stupid dating app on Facebook. I’m sure it’s since been abandoned, considering it was barely even used during the height of its popularity. It feels like I downloaded a sh-tty off brand bejeweled and actual jewels fell out of my phone.” (Source)
