My wife’s version of the story is that she noticed me in the security line at the airport and said something to Erin about me. We started talking and I came to find out they were sisters! I was introduced to Lindsay after we landed in Baltimore and we ended up inviting them to come to our house for a big barbecue my roommate and I were throwing that summer. While another friend and I were in the airport on our way back from a wedding, I saw a beautiful girl (Lindsay, my now wife) and thought to myself, ‘How come I never get that girl to sit next to me on the plane?’Īfter we boarded, the girl, Erin, that was traveling with Lindsay ended up sitting next to me. “When I had a few weddings to attend one summer, Southwest offered the cheapest flights at the time from Long Island but to get there we had to go through Baltimore. Let these stories of real true love and really unique how-we-met tales inspire you to keep on, keepin' on: 1. Even if you're a cynic, we can almost guarantee that these stories are enough to make you believe that love happens in the most surprising of ways. These stories of couples who crossed paths many times before they met, were opposites from the start, who were called up in front of a stage of a bazillion people are enough to make you grin. While not everyone has the meet-cute that we all see in movies and it's certainly not required to have a lasting relationship, we all need those special reminders that magical things still happen. These couples who have ' how we met stories' so ridiculously adorable, amazing and unbelievable that you want to call up Nicholas Sparks to write a book (and um, sell a movie) about them ASAP. And hey, it's totally normal to have a little envy, but it's also important to recognize the benefit these couples can bring to your dating life. But then there is an entirely different group of people that you're maybe just a little bit jealous of. Some people meet online, others through friends, some at work, and a handful during college or at a bar.
