My wife likes to say she found me in her backyard.
One of my best buds back when I was 16 told me a girl he knew just moved into the neighborhood, like all 16 year olds who hears there is a new girl in the area I suggested we go to the store and walk by her place to see this new girl. So we walk by her place and she is in her backyard with 2 of her friends, we hopped over her fence, my friend introduced us and shortly after that we started going out.
Funny thing, turns out we actually did meet previously, at her parents house one day they did the typical play videos of your child to embrace them in front of their boyfriend/girlfriend thing by playing a VHS of her Preschool graduation ceremony, and in the video we see 5 YO me beside 5YO her singing songs and holding hands.
We graduated High school together, moved away for University together and lived together ever since.
We got married on the 10th anniversary of our first date and since then have had a beautiful 2YO boy and are expecting our second child this summer. We have had good days and bad but we have taken on them all together.
