I have an aunt who had a similar situation. She was in love with her college sweetheart but felt they were too young to get married, so they went their separate ways. He married another woman and had two children, but the marriage didn't last. He and my aunt saw each other years later at a reunion and realized they were still in love, and now they've been happily married for 35 years. I love happy endings. Wow…what a story!

It makes me with my hubby has a scottish accent, lol! This is a wonderful post, I think there are so many wonderful stories out there. My husband and my story is a little different. We met at my sisters house while we were helping her pack up to move. My husband worked for my brother in law at the time and him and a bunch of other guys from their unit came over to help. That night while moving a bed I hit my husband in a place no man wants to get hit with the matteress. I thought for sure he thought I was aweful. A couple of weeks later we went on a double date with my best friend and his buddy. A month after that he asked me to marry him and I said yes of course. We were married two months later and we just celebrated our tenth anniversary. Everyone said we wouldnt last cause we barely knew each other, but here we are even more in love now then ever. Sometimes its just right. Karen, first I have to say I just read Hold on to the Nights and I loved it! It makes me with my hubby has a scottish accent, lol!

They grew up in a small Hungarian village. They first noticed an attraction at a dance. However, after WW11 happened, they were seperated, when their families were forced out of Hungary and transported to Germany, where German families took them in. Years later they found each other! They took a ship across the Atlantic in November of 1951. (Laura 18yo, Al 21yo) The trip was so rough that Laura almost died from nausea and vomiting. They settled in Milwaukee where they were married for 55 years! Laura died of cancer 2 years ago. They shared such a loving relationship. He has really struggled without her. My in-laws!

Talk about your extreme Good Girl/Bad Boy pairings. I do love them so. :) I think my favorite love story belongs to a couple who are friends of my family. They're both older, knew each other for a long time when they were younger, married other people (bad, bad, bad marriages), had kids, grew older, went through divorces and somehow bumped into each other again. They're now easily approaching 70s and they're still the couple that hold hands when they're walking down the sidewalk together, sit on the same side of a booth, giggle like two teenagers, and steal kisses when they think nobody is looking. It sounds funny to say that they're the happiest romantic couple I can find around me, but it's true. They went through hell to find it, but they make you believe that -- no matter what -- you will find it.

It sounds funny to say that they’re the happiest romantic couple I can find around me, but it’s true. They went through hell to find it, but they make you believe that — no matter what — you will find it.

My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your dear friend. I would say that your story demonstrates that God really does work in mysterious ways! I wish you and Jason many more years of happiness together! Pamela, that is an amazing, incredible story. My deepest sympathies to you on the loss of your dear friend.
