Michael,
Enjoyed your story. It is amazing how things work out. I would like to tell you some real usual story about my meeting my wife of 40 years, but it was not unusual. I met her on a blind date in college. Her best friend was dating my roommate. And so it goes.

Thanks for sharing.

Aaaah, what a great story!

I also often think “what if” about us (my husband and I) meeting. We also met at Rhodes, this time in Grahamstown, South Africa. And by pure coincidence, he was looking for someone to dance in one of his music videos and someone said, “ask Marcia”.

He did, I said no (stroppy as anything, still to this very day) but we became friends. And here we are 18 years later – married for 15 of them with two beautiful children, 8-month-old boy/ girl twins.

That is so damn touching! You know, I never thought about how great halloween costumes can be for meeting “the one.” They’re like a GPS device.

What other night can you look around at strangers and instantly say, “Ick, tasteless douche” or “Now there’s an original/funny/sweet/like-minded person I should know”?

Of course, no costume broadcasts whether someone is ready to move in with you and share a life together. That’s some other kind of magic.

Thanks for the romantic post!

What a touching story! Congratulations you two. Another great example of a phenomenon ever at work in my own life “There are no accidents, only lessons and miracles waiting to happen.” Thank you for sharing yours.
