    The question, "How did you guys meet?" is definitely the most asked question we get. We have kind of answered this in other videos, but here is the full story of how we met! 🤗💜

      You two are so adorable! I love how much Deana kept blushing. You remind me of my husband and myself. He was my best friend too and we met in an odd way...I volunteered to help a friend at a county fair in the kid section. I was dressed in Mickie Mouse overall shorts and wore pigtails....I was well into my 30s but no one knew. My husband came with his friend, his wife worked near me. Her and her husband noticed we kept checking each other out but were too shy to do anything and because the other girl was my friends daughter they were able to get us together. Our love story went very quickly and we were married within a few years and he was my best friend for many years and still would be if he hadn't passed from cancer. Sorry to make our love story sad but honestly our years together were the best of my life and you two remind me of the way we were! We were always joking and laughing. Life isn't always perfect but as long as you're there for each other you can get through anything! I hope you two live long happy lives together!

  • @tedmaxfield3382

    That’s great story! My wife and I met in a German class at a community college south of Detroit. I sat in the front with high school friends, she sat alone in the back, and we NEVER talked the whole class. There wasn’t enough students enrolled in the next German class, so it was canceled. We bumped into each other a year later and started talking about how bummed we were that the class was canceled, and things took off from there. We’ve been together for 34 years, and married for 30. I wish you the best in your marriage as well!

      I never understood how some people can be with someone for a very long time without marriage, isn't that such a waste of time?

    • @user-ve7hn2dh8h
      @user-ve7hn2dh8h Před 11 měsíci

      ​@@purplelove3666😂 why is it a waste of time when you're not married? What's the difference to being in a long time marriage compared with a long time non married relationship? I'll tell you: you actually still like each other when you're still together and not just because you're feeling obligated by a made up religious nonsense ceremony

  • @WhisperzVerse
    @WhisperzVerse Před 4 lety +116

    Nice story. The best time to get into a relationship is when you're not desperate for one because then you know whatever feelings you feel are genuine.

    • @Siggy4844
      @Siggy4844 Před 3 lety +3

      Very true. I just posted my story above. I was not looking for a relationship at the time I met my Ex, but fell head over heels the first time I met him. And apparently the feeling was mutual. We were married for 25 years and raised two kids together.

    Fate. It has its way.
    I met my second husband on AOL (America On Line)
    I was in California and he was on Colorado. We talked eveyday. We played silly games, like, If you were ice cream, what flavor would you be, and, toilet paper, under or over? We met in person 4 months later. He moved to be with me. I have kids and couldnt.
    That was 23 years ago. We've been married 20.9 YEARS. We aren't spring chickens. He 1I'll be 80 in September and I turned 64 in March.

    This reminds me so much of how I met my German :)
    We both moved to Ireland for different reasons, but mostly to have a new experience and do PhDs. We met completely randomly on a beach on the Aran Islands. It took a couple months for us to hit it off, but we've been going strong for 4.5 years now!

  • @silkedavid8876
    @silkedavid8876 Před 4 lety +8

    How sweet! It is nice that you now have a record of your story to embarrass your kids later. And it did not take you 100 episode of a tv show to tell the story.
    I love Deana's little drawings.

    We are in good company! We also quit our jobs we felt stuck in, got TEFL certified and decided to teach English abroad for an adventure...the only problem was, we never got around to teaching English before we ended up in Germany 😂 We had the right idea though! haha Great story guys, thanks for sharing 😊

    Love your story! Some of it reminds of when I met my husband. I had just gotten out of a long term relationship and WAS NOT looking for love, I was single for the first time in many years, I had a good job owned my car and paid very little rent...one night a friend of mine asked if I wanted to go to a club I said sure, that where I meet my husband and the rest is history. We have been married for over 25 years and have two adult sons that make us very proud!
    My husbands got a job in Germany and I want to learn some basic German.
    Thanks for such a funny and lovely story!

Please try some more local German food (if they’re offering take out!) or some other snacks :) I’m currently on a super restricted diet due to severe food sensitivities, so I get vicarious enjoyment out of watching you guys eat yummy food that I can’t eat!

    I'm a bit behind on your videos, but this was so entertaining! I love your story!
    Deana you cracked me up hiding behind your stuffed animal all embarrassed. 🥰😂
    And Phil, taking a photo of her butt was pretty risky. 🤣
    You guys are so fun!
    Tschüss!
