4. “We ended up hitting it off, and I went home that night and told my mom, ‘I just met the man I’m going to marry.'”
“A girl that I totally did not get along with invited me out to a comedy club one Friday night and I went because I had nothing else to do. Weirdly, that is where I met my husband. He was sitting nearby and finally turned around, and even before I knew his name, I knew I was going to marry him. We ended up hitting it off and I went home that night and told my mom, ‘I just met the man I’m going to marry.’ We got married six years later and have been married now for 15 years. I’m the luckiest girl in the world.” —Tracy, 45
5. “Not even two minutes later, the phone at the hostess stand rang and it was him.”
“I met my fiancé on a Saturday night about five years ago when the most beautiful man I’d ever seen walked into the restaurant I was working in. He was with his best friend and they didn’t have a dinner reservation and it was the busiest time of night at one of the city’s busiest restaurants, but I sat them right away regardless. After that, I headed back to the hostess stand and immediately started gushing about how beautiful that man was. Not even two minutes later, the phone at the hostess stand rang and it was him. I looked over to see him across the restaurant with his phone to his ear, and I heard him say, ‘It’s Jeff. Let me take you out tonight to thank you for seating us so quickly.’ The rest is history.” —Liz, 24
6. “I later commented on how handsome Cliff was and joked that he could snore in my bed all night if he wanted to.”
“My college roommate was hosting a bunch of people at her family’s vacation home and I brought my fiancé with me. The men and women slept in separate cabins, and my fiancé kept complaining about not being able to sleep all night because this guy named Cliff was snoring so loudly. My fiancé said he even kept throwing pillows at him all night but still couldn’t stop him from snoring. I later commented on how handsome Cliff was and joked that he could snore in my bed all night if he wanted to. Four years later, after my fiancé had dumped me, I ran into Cliff at a party and reminded him that he’d met me before. We’ve been together ever since. Also, he hasn’t stopped snoring, but he’s in my bed now and I throw pillows at him every night.” —Debra, 54
