Andrea's husband: "Darling, will you marry me?"
Andrea: "LET'S DO IT!"
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
Oh my god this has to be one of the best jokes I've heard in a long time. Thank you. XD
Cuuuuuuute!!!
Exactly! and I heard it in her voice! :)
So am I the only one who didn't know that she was married?
I didn't know either 😭
Me too...
But her husband is a lucky man
Had no idea 😂
Idk i thought she might b
“Had I not reinterpreted his hieroglyphs” lol, yes, obviously a book person! Wonderful story
Hey Andrea, I met my husband in 2020 when he could not find work in his profession. He has a masters in music. He was working for Harley-Davidson delivering motorcycles. I was looking for an escape from the lockdowns, and bought my first motorcycle and he delivered it. We were both going through hard times because our spouses had left us after 30 years. He and I were both married for 30 years previously. We didn’t get in contact with one another until about two weeks after he delivered my bike. Then I texted him and we haven’t stopped talking since. We were married in 2022 and are still madly in love.
Aww, oh my heart, what a sweet story! ☺️
"Had I not reinterpreted his hieroglyphs, we wouldn't be married" 😂❤
Not good.
For real tho! Had she been any other girl she wouldn't have gone through all of this "smiles but doesn't say anything? not interested" "goes into the same tube but doesn't approach? not interested" "doesn't text back? not interested" "gave me the wrong number? not interested" but Andrea gave him all of the benefit of the doubt and it was just a misunderstanding
I burst out laughing for that one
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You know someone is funny when they can be that humorous in a non-native language! Love her ❤
“I’m German, I’m direct”! And he was flattered, considered himself a lucky man!
I thought she was Korean 😅
@@moonshinershonor202 did you really? I can't tell if you're joking
I too have a dear German friend and he also says the same thing: “I’m German, I’m direct!” 😂😂
Her underlying accent is definitely Australian because she falls back into it frequently. If she is German then she at least spent her early years here in Aus. I'm not sure what her "pretend accent" is, but she's adorable and it makes her videos much more fun.
@@Susan-qg9tm I think its South African, alot of the words she uses and the way she speaks reminds me of afrikaaners, but I am still not sure
I met my boyfriend while he shopped at the bakery I worked at.
He bought a bunch of bread and made some friendly smalltalk while intensely staring at me, which, tbh made me freak out a little.
He came back a few days later and handed me his number, shaking like a twig in the wind.
I thought I'd give it a shot, and we instantly clicked. He's such a gentle and thoughtful soul underneath his hard shell!
It's been three years now, and I couldn't be happier ☺️
Such a beautiful story Andrea. I lost my husband of 33 years to an aggressive cancer when he was 54. Your story made me recall the special way we met.. in short a long extended face between us across a very crowded pub bar and a smile from me. He looked like an absolute gentleman with a huge heart and indeed he was. Thank you for sharing your story and for being such a delightful person lighting the lives of others. You’re simply my favourite CZcamsr

❤❤❤❤
I also lost my husband to an agressive cancer. He was only 53. It's been 7 yrs & I'm still heartbroken but the memories keep me going. I now make new ones with our family.
Love your story! I’m a fellow german lady who lives in the UK. Met my husband at a wedding in Germany. I had a warm secure feeling in my belly when talking to him. It felt quite different from the usual ‘falling in love’ feeling I had experienced before. After 9 month I moved to be with him. We have been together for 33 years now. We’re still in love and enjoy each other’s company, laughing and joking on a daily basis.
Beautiful story 😍
❤
Omg this is beautiful! So happy for you both ❤
💜
. Butterflies actually mean nervousness in the stomach which is a red flag ;-) we fall in love with someone who sees us as we see ourselves
you are one of the most engaging story-tellers i've seen in awhile! i came for the fashion, but stayed for your personality! you deserve millions of subs
Same here ❤
I second that🙃
me three! ☺️
Me too! She is so fun to watch and this story was indeed lovely as promised. ❤
She has very seductive energy, not good! 😂❤❤❤❤
Walking home on my last day of school with my best friend when her neighbours son pulled up and offered us a lift. Married him 2 years later and have been married for 52 years.
God bless you!😊
Love this!
I arrived in Canada the day before, as an exchange student from France. I was eating in the dorm's kitchen and I saw him struggling to spread margarine on a piece of toast with a steak knife. I laughed and lent him a butter knife. He then explained that all his things were still packed and he could only grab this for a quick snack before unpacking.
10 years later, we are married and parents of two kids. I never returned to France :)
My wife and I actually met when we were 12 at a camp. We later met in university. We were friends for years, and shared digs. Then we started having feelings, and we both said it was silly and we laughed about it. Eventually she asked me on a date, and even though we had been best friends forever, we still closed the restaurant down because we were talking. 6 weeks later I proposed. We have been together for 23 years.
That’s such a heartwarming story❤️I hope your relationship goes well in the future.
"We were 12 .... " ... me at 36 ..... 😂yea about that ...
What a wonderful story!
beautiful story ♡
That is so sweet. Give her a big old kiss for me will ya? I can't find love, so I tell others too. I got pedo pimps as enemies and not as rivals. They've already killed one of my dogs and damaged my parents cars. So yea I like seeing Love Live where it can. 🥳
Show us your wedding gown pretty please 😊
Yes! I'd love to see what she chose to wear
And your hubby! Even if just a partial semi-anonymous view.
I was just going to say the same thing. A picture of her on her wedding day. Maybe very traditional. Maybe retro/vintage.
No, I guess it was super classy
I hope Andrea wore some thrifted pieces or even a thrifted dress.
Lovely story! In my case it was 45 years after our high school graduation and my now husband came from halfway around the world to attend our class reunion. Somehow he ended up in the same van assigned to pick up attendees. We were already in our early sixties, retired and simply living separate lives on opposite sides of the planet. As I stepped out of my front gate, he stepped out of the van and something like a shaft of light literally hit me that I had to step back inside to gather my wits before stepping out again. He invited me to visit him in Canada and I did. He brought me to the famous Niagara Falls, something I had only read about in the National Geographic Magazine. It was like another door had opened. It's been five years since we got married and life is simply humming merrily along.
Oh my! So glad you posted... your story is so encouraging. TY, very romantic.
you're getting me teary-eyed over here ...
So wonderful! Wish you a lot of happiness.
aww cute! did you move to Canada?
@@anusadana8139 Sure did! And it's wonderful!
People say my husband and I have a cute story too... I'm a teacher and he works in IT. He was hired a few months before me. He (along with the rest of the tech dept. gave a presentation at our new teacher orientation meeting. I caught his eye. We discovered we lived in the same apartment complex. I put in an IT request because my laptop charger was making a funny noise. He hand delivered it to me at the my apartment under the guise of "Well it's my building too and I wouldn't want it to burn down." And then he asked me out ☺️
I love this!! I have adhd and it made me terrified of university, because I struggled so much with school as a teenager. Finally at 36 I went to university and studied archaeology, where I met some classmates who knew about a dig happening in France, did I want to go? I did. On this dig I met one of the local volunteers. I saw him and thought "Wow, I didn't know they made them this tall in France!" (he's 198cm, or 6'5, I'm 5'11, 180cm) He immediately noticed my neurospicy self and proceeded to woo and win me. Now I live in France 😊
That's awesome! Congratulations! I have ADHD too, and the bit where she was talking about her husband's neurodivergance made me smile so much, how she talked about something that is classified diagnostically(!) as a 'careless mistake' as instead a way his brain functions naturally being beautiful stroke of luck that led to them falling in love. Also I'm a dyslexic who loves reading with terrible handwriting as well, so I can totally see something like that happening with me.
Also, I think it's really cool that you gave college a shot - even though you were intimidated - to follow something you're passionate about, and that it led to so many good things. I'm also intimidated by college (I ended up being delayed several years in graduating high school), so it's always so encouraging to see other neurospicy cool people trying and succeeding, even if it's hard sometimes. You're awesome, and I hope you and your SO have a long and happy life together!
Thank you for sharing your story. Not only is it wonderful that you met your partner there, but also, as a young adult with adhd still struggling with that "trying to graduate delayed high school", it's inspiring and comforting to hear of older folks that persevered through the intimidation and succeeded. Dare I say it makes me hopeful.
The end of Andrea's story, and your stories, are really making me tear up. ❤ Thanks for sharing.
😊❤ Andrea, thank you for sharing your story. It is so romantic!
You are such a warm, beautiful young woman, l really enjoy your channel. It's nice to hear a bit about your life. I love your pets, too.
Emwalker another love story💚☘️☺️
I met my husband at our dorm in Japan. I was an exchange student from the Philippines and he was an exchange student from Korea. We didn't date while we were in Japan for a year but reconnected when I went to Korea for my Masters Degree. Our common language until this day is Japanese. I learned Korean and he learned English but we're just comfortable in speaking mainly in Japanese
Wow, what a multilingual family you will have, do teach your kids. My dad didn't teach us German, and I wish I had learned another language, but some people find it easy, some find it hard, some..impossible! I studied nursing, and because I care for all nationalities, I've learned a few little phrases in many languages, but not fluent in any😢
That is such a cool story, if you ever were to make content about it, it would be so interesting
I love your story! Blessings! 🩷
@@lynettefinnigan9540I dated a guy who's mother was Lebanese and she only taught him children's songs in the language. It makes no sense to not teach your child another language.
@@lynettefinnigan9540 it's not impossible if you can put in the time and dedication it takes to learn another language. The vast majority of people can learn another language, given they don't have any mental limitations of course.
And here's me, single in my 50s, reading all this beautiful love stories and being ♥️💃💃💃♥️. God bless everyone!
Me too
Me three 🥰
In my 60's and same.
Same. 😁
Lots of people are coupled as young adults, it's easier to meet at that age and everyone has less baggage. It's not uncommon for people on their 40s, 50s and up to find themselves single again.
I thought my story was unique 😊 and then I saw yours. Met my husband also in the Tube - London Underground - Piccadilly Line. He was sitting opposite. When I left the train I smiled at him and said Good Bye. A few minutes later, he tipped me on the shoulder and asked me out. Not that I understood a lot of what he was saying, my English wasn't that good back then - I am also German!
We married exactly a year after we met. He is my best friend, has been for almost thirty years.
And ...I like your channel because I have also spent many hours in charity shops. Just haven't got your knack of styling.
I'm also married to an intellectual (PhD) Scorpio with ADHD. We met at a football game. I swear I saw an aura around him and him alone in the midst of a huge crowd of people. That was 44 years ago. May you and your husband long be happy!
I met my husband on a cruise ship. He was in an all Philipino band and came up to me and said I like the way you dance. He was playing the bass guitar in the band and the band were very good. So we talked after his gig until 4am. After that we met 9 more times on the ship and of course fell in love. Later he came to Florida to live with me and we got married. We work together in a band now...best life I could have asked for...all because I took a chance on a stranger.
I met my husband in the military. Our paths crossed a few times during basic before we officially met at our first duty station. We happened to be assigned to the same unit and officially met my second day there. We spent the day chatting a bit as we were doing an assignment, going our separate ways at the end of the work day. Later that evening, he knocked on my barracks door and asked if I wanted to get dinner. I said yes and we've been together 20 blissfully chaotic years now.
I was INVESTED in your story, Andrea. I was cheering you on the whole way! Your form of the art of storytelling is gripping.
I love your love story! Sometimes its the most random situations that we find our soul mate! I met my soon to be husband at the grocery store I was working at. He came in to do an exchange of Chunky Soup for his mother. I pointed to show him the aisle and after a minute a co-worker had a return to go back on the shelf. It just so happened, it was soup LOL I strutted down that aisle with my best walk hopping he would look at me. When I arrived back at the counter he went through some one else's check out. I didn't think I would see him again. About 20 minutes before my shift was over he came back and he told me that my smile was stuck in his head and he couldn't stop thinking of me. He gave me his number and I called him on my way home that night. We spoke the whole 2 hours! LOL and as you said the rest is history! That was in 2014. To this day, I will always have a soft spot for Chunky Soup 😂 Many blessings to you and your love! May it always burn bright ❤✨️
Did you incorporate chunky soup in the wedding somehow?
What a cute story!
I met my husband at church. To begin, I live in the USA in New Mexico. The people who became my in-laws moved to the town I grew up in 1989. They had two daughters my age, two younger daughters and a son. We didn’t know they had an older son who was already grown up and in the Army. So the girls and I became good friends. The dad was the new minister of the church my family attended. The oldest girl and I graduated high school in 1991. That Christmas, I was home from my first year of college. We went to church and I saw this guy in a uniform. Oh. Wow. And he saw me. He heard me sing. We smiled at each other but we couldn’t get close enough to introduce each other. But I heard his name. So we had Christmas and I decided to have a little New Year’s party. My mom and I went to the grocery store and I saw the minister walking in the store just as we were parking and a man was with him. It was the guy in uniform. Well we met up with them in the produce and I invited him with his sisters. That afternoon I saw him drive past my parents house. He picked me up for date a day after the party…the rest in history.
We need to see this handsome man! I was so sure he was going to pop in at the end of the video! Beautiful & unique story ❤ ❤ ❤
I was also waiting for that! 😂
Yes me too! I was hoping the stylish gentleman would make an appearance!
And me!
My hubby and I met on good ole Yahoo Messenger back in 2002. He literally popped into my life! We became friends and shared a bunch of nerdy things. We became romantic after a while. We’ve been married for over 17 years. He’s my wonderful sweetheart and we help keep each other sane. We have one kiddo and two kitties. We’re both neurodivergent. ADHD? More like AD4K! 😂😅 I’m not very fashionable, but I love your videos! You are a ray of sunshine! You’re also pretty darn funny! Thank you for being you! 🩷
Im gonna steal the word AD4K for my Neurodivergent friend group. Thanks for the idea!
well i’d argue that both you AND andrea are rays of sunshine! ❤ this is so cuuuute
Sweet story! I met my now husband in a line we had to stand in for several hours due to a computer glitch during our freshman registration. We were just friends for about 3 years when we realized we were in love. A couple years later we married. It's about to be 30 years this summer. ❤
That is sweet and so wholesome.
Can we also appreciatete fact that Andrea's husband liked her and wanted to talk with her but wasn't pushy like many men are. He gave her his contacts instead of asking for her's.
That's a sweet story. I love my story too. I was volunteering for a friend at a county fair. I was dressed as my interpretation of a farmer, bibbed overalls and braids. My friend's grandson was in the barn I was in and kept disrupting my station all day...this guy then came into the building and noticed the child misbehaving so calmly got him to be helpful. He was the child's Dad's friend so knew how to deal with him and seeing how amazing he was melted my heart. We were both too shy to ask each other for numbers but the child's Mom saw our chemistry and made the guy call me after getting my permission. And we lived happily ever after. ❤
I love your story! I met my husband at a church activity for singles. When people around the room introduced themselves my first thought was, "I'm not interested in him; he has the same first name as my ex husband!" 😂 Fortunately his personality convinced me to give him a chance. We've been married for twenty years. ❤️
My now husband has the same name as my ex boyfriend too!
Met my Aussie hubby on a vacation to California. My mom had late stage dementia. My sis in law was working with a client and had a free hotel room and an expense account. I went to get a break from caregiving and met a crazy, sweet Aussie at a $5 a drink happy hour. 10yrs later we’re still going strong. PS. Hubby’s dad eventually developed dementia too and it was so good to help him navigate it until his dad’s passing.
Adorable. I met my husband at student rec center at college. We somehow discovered we both liked a rather obscure cartoonist and started talking about his books. I also discovered that he worked at a shoe store down the street from my house. I boldly asked him out on our first date, which was semi disastrous because we got hopelessly lost trying to find the theater. But I pestered him for a 2nd date. 32 years and 4 grown children later, here we are. I'm still glad I boldly persevered. Happy for you too. ❤
Love this! I had a close chum in design school, studying web design, whom I picked up at his family’s home at the holidays. I was introduced to a tall, well-dressed chap wearing a professorial corduroy jacket with suede patches on the elbows, my friend’s older brother, who was visiting from law school. I met him again a month later on New Year’s Eve.
As my friend was totally uncooperative, I snooped to find his brother’s address. I had a coffee roaster at the time, so after a couple of months I sent him a box of assorted coffee for final exams with a note. He had planned to move across the country but changed his plans to come back to his home state to take the bar exam. We went on our first official date in June and have been together happily ever since, for 22 years.
Very cute story. Love the message "give them the benefit of the doubt" that's a good one to keep using even when you are married! :)
This is so wholesome! I actually met my partner at uni, we were both doing a PhD but I was a year ahead. We circled around each other for months, scared to make the first move because if things went badly, being in the communal office would have turned really awkward. At the same time, we were always trying to find occasions to be close to each other (like taking a coffee break casually always at the same time, discussing philosopher's STDs and even trying to come up with a paper to write together).
At some point, I asked him out for coffee but he didn't understand that it was a date, so there was no follow-up. Not good.
BUT! I persevered and asked him out again, this time for dinner and he said yes and this time he understood it was a date. We've been together ever since.
I appreciate videos where people talk about their healthy relationships and healthy experiences in love -it helps as a guide!
Such a sweet story!! Congratulations and a long and happy marriage to you two. Met my husband when I was getting a physical to join our local National Guard (American, and music) as a way to use my degree. Anyway, he was drawing blood that day and it never hurt! And he knew my brother, worse yet, lol. We had similar "adventures" to yours and married in 5 months. We were married 39 years, just, when he suddenly died. We were happy though and I wouldn't change it for the world.
I met my husband when we were kids. Summer of 1992. I was 7 and he was 8. He chased me every time he would see me. We were fans of different NFL teams and so we had a little rivalry. Then when we were teenagers, we became good friends. We grew up, married other people, but always remained friends. We began to date in our early 30’s. We’ve been together for almost 8 years now.
OMG this story is really lovely!!! And funny thing: Here in Austria there exists a (german) song, that goes about a guy and a girl meeting in the train, both seemed interested in one another - but they DON'T exchange numbers and never see again.
So glad that your story had a happy ending. :)
some people are just natural storytellers. You are one of them :-) thank you for sharing such a lovely tale to inspire those of us who have still not met their person.
Love this ❤ I met my husband on a night out in Manchester, a club we used to go to for my friend once a month, it wasn’t my thing 😂 I was dancing on my own, my husband came and danced with me, he thought I was foreign😂 I’m from Manchester 😂 he’s from Birmingham, he was in the club, not a place he would ever go to either. This was 25 years ago, we’ve been married 21 years ❤
This video is so perfect, so wholesome, thank yoooouuu. Your storytelling is flawless, kept me engaged the whole time. I'm so happy for you and your husband, and now I'm even happy for having ADHD and being also a Scorpio, maybe one day I'll have a story as nice to tell. Love your work and your charismatic personality.
The story of my husband and I is similar in so many ways: the Leo/Scorpio combination, the advice from friends about the 3 day rule (which I had also never heard about, but apparently is a thing in Australia too).
We met during a night out with friends, and I noticed his eyes first. Turns out we had mutual friends and we started seeing each other more often in social settings, and one evening, he asked me out, so we exchanged numbers.
We will be celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary later this year, and 26 years together.
Oh, is Andrea a Leo? 😃
What a great story! ❤
I met my husband online in a Yahoo chatroom. I had actually sworn off dating. But for some reason I agreed to meet him and that was 20 years ago. :)
Oh wow 😁
Same. OkCupid was where we met, 13 years ago 😊
Such a sweet story! I met my husband through a friend. I was only 1 month into being 21. My ex and I broke up 5 months prior and I was NOT looking to get into a relationship. I was working and going to college. I was busy. But one of my friends who worked at the same nursery school I was working for said that she was taking a programming class in college and the assistant instructor was really cute and single. She was engaged and she said “you’re single! Let me give him your number!” I said “absolutely not! I am too young and I’ve been too hurt and I’m too busy.” 3 weeks went by and her and I ended up having dinner after work that Friday evening. I hadn’t changed clothes or anything. I literally left the nursery school and met her at the restaurant. I had my uniform polo top on and a pair of old trousers and my hair was in a crazy ponytail. No makeup, I was exhausted. But she said “don’t get mad but I invited that guy I told you about. He’ll be here in 10 minutes.” I could have choked her! I ran to the bathroom, washed my face and put some lipgloss on, as if it would make a difference. 😂 But he walked into that restaurant and sat down across from me and the minute our eyes locked, that was it. We will be married 18 years and together 20 years this October. He’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I was only 23 when we got married and he was 32 but when it’s right, it’s right. And I never got along with guys my age. I have very niche interests and I was basically born as a 78 year old Nonna. He acts much younger than I do. 😂 But I sure love him. He’s my best friend and my home. ❤
This is precious
You're such a captivating storyteller. I could listen to you tell stories all day long. You have a clever way of expressing yourself mixing the dramatic with the cute and fun and the variety of voices and accents is absolutely entertaining. You should have your own show.
Such a cute story! I feel like mine also has to do with specific situations that could have very easily changed my life. I went to college for music therapy. I changed my major to social work half way through my junior year and got a job working with kids that had disabilities by bringing them into the community to work on goals. I took one of these kids into the town's public library where my now husband worked. He knew the child and so he came over to talk to us. I took the kids I worked with to the library often since they loved it there. Ryan and I would chat often. Took him 8 months to ask me out, 3 months to propose, and then we married after only a month of being engaged. Married for 12 years now :) If I wouldn't have chosen that college that put me in that specific town, not changed my major, not taken that job, not walked into the library I might have not been married to my husband today.
"Reinterpreted his hieroglyphs" 😂😂😂😂😂 love it!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Fate is so crazy how that happens! My father helped his friend move to cyprus, and my father liked it there so much that he decided to retire to cyprus, which he did alone, after some years. He spent a lot of time researching specifically where he would live there. I came to visit him and in this country, in this village, in this bar where he would regularly visit with his expat friends, is where I met my husband! We have been together 10 years now. My father's friend was an American who would come often to our country (UK) but was based in Belgium and had he not decided to relocate from Belgium to cyprus, none of this would ever have happened. Had I not had to drop out of 6th form because I was hospitalised, I wouldn't have had the time to visit my father in cyprus. There were so many roads that didn't lead here, but here we are.
I love learning people's love stories. I met my husband at a church for young single adults. We had both just graduated with our Bachelor’s degrees and returned home from school. When the ladies and gentlemen separated for class, one of the church leaders told the men he wanted them to find the prettiest lady in the church and ask her on a date. So the next week, my now-husband asked me on a date, and the rest is history. We've been married for 10 years now 😊.
My husband and I met at the hospital. I was a new Nurse and he was a transporter, finishing up Design school. We’ve been together 34 years and married for 25 years this coming June.
Thank you for your love story!
That is absolutely adorable. I also do not know what I think of the fates anymore. I've seen so many good possible relationships fade away because no one was willing to try, and everyone always says "if it's meant to be." I begin to think that if you know you've got a good thing, be your own fate!
Great story! All these arbitrary rules and miscommunication definitely present problems in the dating world. I'm so glad that you and your Scorpio got happyily connected.
Hahaha! I’m so direct, I had cards printed with my number and the words, “If you’re not married or otherwise committed, I’d love to talk with you “. Men seem to be flattered when a woman approaches them first. Some worked out, some didn’t. That’s how I met both the wonderful men who have been an integral part of my life.
A beautiful story! And the first date being a retro night! You'd really vibe with that!
Seriously, all meetings between people are amazing. The timing here is just fantastic!
I love your story! My husband and I met on a dating website. Neither of us were having much luck, so one day I decided to spam message a bunch of guys to see if anyone would bite. He was one of the guys I'd messaged. On his end he thought that online dating wasn't for him, so the day he went to cancel his subscription was the day he saw my text. 5 years of dating and 3 years of marriage later I'm pregnant with our first baby and we're so happy together! 😄💙🎉
I agree, if we are interested we should be direct! I decided at some point in my 20s that I was not here to mess around. I did not have much luck for a while as I suppose some men are not used to direct women. One day I messaged my future husband, whom I already knew online for 10 years but never really got to know. I said "sup hottay" and the rest is history!
Love this story! Reminds me of the movie Sliding Doors. All these seemingly small random variables, like catching or missing the tube, can completely change the trajectory of your life. Love it!
Thanks for sharing this gem of an anecdote, Andrea. I hope you'll show us your wedding outfit(s) some time.
Adore this story! I'm an AuDHD Scorpio; I live alone currently, and love it, and also appreciate that beloveds can meet unexpectedly and serendipitously. All my best to your happy union and beautiful magpie sparkles ✨✨✨
I love this story so much! I love how two people who are meant to be together will undergo weirdest coincidences and challenges but still make it in the end because God wants you to be together
Hi Andrea! I met my husband at a Halloween party 2016. A month later, I moved 500 miles away for residency and never thought I would see him. He messaged me that he wanted to visit me in my new city and I agreed. He ended up moving across country to my city for me and now we're happily married!!
What a beautiful story!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Met my husband when we were 13 at a school parking lot - 22 years later, he’s still the one for me. You never know when or where you’ll meet the one - but if it’s a good one, hang on!
I love your story of how you met your husband ❤ I met my husband on a blind date set up by a mutual friend. I knew he was mine when I looked into his eyes💖 We still have fun together with lots of fun and laughter and camping!
I find it so endearing how you speak about your husband's hyerogliphs and ADHD. What a lovely story! I like that you were so direct. I assume you told him about the first text message you sent? Betcha you laughed about it later!
I met my bf-future husband through some common friends. We were on the same wavelength from the start and we didn't chase around. Just straight to expressing how we feel and embracing each other's souls.
SOOOOOOOOO sweet!!!! I love knowing you're happily married. And I appreciate the details about his style and the way you imitate his voice ❤️ very cute!
I am happy too. I met my man at a baseball game in Colorado, I felt safe with him immediately and he makes me laugh every day and impresses me so much. The most thoughtful and handsome man, my absolute best friend. 🥰
Wishing everyone love and happiness!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my goodness this was so cute! Do we get to meet this dapper husband?
That was the cutest story I think personally there are no accidents everything is as it should be… things just get lined up in a certain way like synchronicity that certain red light hits just perfectly. The problem is nowadays people run into their soon to be significant other and they just don’t look up from their phone and they missed them over and over so take some time look around take in your surroundings and don’t forget to smell the flowers along the way and you may just bump in to Mr. or Mrs. right congratulations for paying attention and letting nature take its course😀
I met my husband 44 years ago and we've been married almost 41 years now. We met while I was dating someone else, so he became my friend. He said he knew eventually I would realize he liked me more than just as a friend and of course he was right. Sharing your lovely story has brought out many other beautiful stories to make me smile today. Thank you.❤ I always look foward to seeing what you will surprise us with next. Say hello to your charming husband and cute pets and thank them for allowing you to share your time with us.😊
Andrea, this story of yours is really adorable, and I trully love your german straithforwardness!
But after reading some more comments to your lovely story, came to the amazing conclusion that the Universe truly likes to make peoples lives interesting. My eldest son went to study in Great Britain, South Wales (we are from Portugal) and after dating several girls, not english nor welsh, but from France, Israel, China, Czech Republic, Goa/India, finaly got in love with a beautiful girl from Sri Lanka. They got married in Sri Lanka but live in South Wales as he's now a British Citizen and teaches at the University...
And the other day we were commenting how different is the way we look at life when we came from two different cultures, and talk a diferent language, either because we decided to live in a diferent country or because we got married with a person that is from another country. So they talk to each other in a different language from their mother tongue - my son is portuguese but he decided to learn cingalese in order to talk to the members of his wife's family who do not speak english... but they knew each other in south wales so they talk to each other in english... so lovely❤❤❤
Dear Andrea, you are a great Story Teller! Wish you and your husband many many Happy years together. ❤
Direct is a good thing! I met my husband on a Thursday. Went out on Friday. And that was it. That was 1988.
I love your story 😊
I met my boyfriend in college (we're common law, not sure if we want to follow marriage as a tradition so aside from that we're basically husband/wife). It was frosh, me and my group of friends merged with him and his group of friends and formed one big talking circle. him and i were standing across from each other and he cut across the circle to introduce himself to me 🥰 we dated for 1.5 years in college, broke up for 4 years, was living across the country by then. He texted me unexpectedly to see what i had been up to (this was 2 weeks after telling someone i think i let my soulmate slip through my fingers). I had just happened to have already booked a flight back home to visit friends and family the following weekend so we had a date, he confessed still being in love with me and i confessed back, but i had to fly back to "new" home. A few months later the hotel where i was working had a fire on its roof and burned down of all things! Construction work lol NOT MY DOING!! but i took it as a sign to return home home and him and i have been together ever since, its been 7 years now 😁
Were I not sitting at work listening to your story I'd be in my bed sobbing right now because there is so much that is *just like mine* in the heart of your story, and I just lost him in December after 7 years. This was beautiful and we also met because we smiled at one another (for 3 years) and I also have ADHD and he also read all the time and had dyslexia and my name is also - oh no wait, I am crying - 😭💖
"With happiness in my step" and then the butterfly 🦋 wings! and "Yes, I´m crazy" made me laugh!! hahahah
That is being at the right place at the right time…I do believe in fate and glad you listened to the “little voice in her head” saying not to give up! I am older now but years ago met the love of my life in a much similar situation but something told me I should go to a certain bookstore that was out of town…I had a good feeling I was going to meet my special person…it was a beautiful time in my life although we decided to part in the end because he had to return to the UK and I was still being a mom to my two kids…always pay attention to the universe! You are so cute Andrea…BEAUTIFUL story!❤
American here.
My husband and I were actually members of the same church community in a tiny town, but we never met, because he was away at university when I started attending.
Eventually I signed up to go on a group trip through our church to Israel. My husband, while finishing his last year at university, was notified of this trip, and signed up as well.
I saw him once on a group call, but we didn’t interact or think anything of each other at first. We all met up at the same airport, but again, in the business of it all, never really interacted.
It wasn’t until we were all touring in Israel that we actually started to talk - on my end, just being friendly (I was going through a lot of personal stuff back home so wasn’t looking for “trouble”), but from his perspective, he said he intrinsically “knew” that I was special to him, and proceeded to look after me throughout the trip.
While touring a cave/tunnel, I was at the back of the group, and he intentionally kept behind me to make sure I felt safe and kept my path well lit for me. At another location, when another tour group was making me uncomfortable, he put himself between us to serve as a buffer.
Our first real conversation was actually at the Dead Sea (the lowest place on dry land on Earth - therefore he likes to jokingly say, “It could only go up from there.” 😂)
After the trip, he went back to university and graduated shortly after, and then came back to our little community, where he asked if I would like to go hiking with him after church on Sundays. I agreed, and called him out and asked his intentions right away. He said he was interested, but had just gotten out of a rough relationship a little while ago, so wasn’t ready to start anything serious just yet. I, who had also had a bad experience recently, told him I liked him, but I wasn’t interested in being in a relationship at all. I told him he deserved the best, far better than me. He asked if we could still be friends, and I said sure.
From then on, he would invite me over when he was hosting board game nights with his friends, and we started sending long letters in the form of text messages a couple times a week - nothing romantic, just talking, nerding out, sharing ideas and what was going on in our lives.
Finally, one game night, we were playing a game where we had to work together and plot against the other players in secret. The tension between us was suffocating. Then, at one point, he winked at me from across the table.
For those who have played Super Smash Bros. - you know that moment when your damage is already really high, and then you get hit by that special hammer that sends you flying off the screen? Yeah… that’s what that wink did to me. I was done for.
Finally, as the night was closing, I was the last to leave, and he said to me, “I don’t care if I have to watch you marry someone else. I the will support you. But I KNOW you are special to me and I want to be a part of your life.”
Game. Over.
So. For his birthday, I wrote him a love/confession letter as an email. I, being insecure, wasn’t actually ready to send it - I forget how it happened, but somehow I accidentally sent it and was absolutely mortified! (I think I pressed enter meaning to type, not realizing it was going to send instead! 😱)
He, however, was delighted.
We then spent every waking moment together for the next two weeks grilling each other to make sure we were certain this was a good idea and that we were compatible - world views, spirituality, morals, values and priorities, interests, life goals and dreams, etc. - and just spending time together in general, because we agreed, this time we weren’t interested in dating someone for “fun”. If we were doing this, it was with the intention of getting married someday and taking our relationship VERY seriously.
Finally we concluded it was a good idea to try moving forward with each other.
And we were married just a few short months later. There was no fancy proposal. No ring. No getting down on one knee. We were out for a walk and discussing the subject and said, “Let’s do it!”
He bought us both wedding rings and we were married! I surprised him with the coolest honeymoon suite anyone could ever imagine. And here we are now - coming up on our 5th wedding anniversary. We own a home, he works for an awesome company and I stay home to take care of everything else, including our now 1 year old, who is the cutest, sweetest child I have ever laid eyes on. 🥰
We’ve been through a LOT of ups and downs - but he has stood by me through it all!
Somehow we are actually closer now than we were when we first started, happier, and still going strong! He is my very best friend!
Long story short, I had to go to the opposite side of the planet and to the lowest point on dry land to meet the man I’d marry, who figuratively lived next door. lol 😂 🤦♀️
What a great story! Thank you so much for sharing the details. I was hooked from beginning to end!
I knew him from when were kids in High school, we were online and I was in another country after I immigrated to his country we continued to stay friends for years and then we reconnected in 2020 during Covid. We talked and talked and realized we really liked each other and decided to meet and see how it goes. We met for the first time and now we've been dating for 2 years now. He is a wonderful man
That is the most wholesome story I've heard all week. ❤ I met my husband online, but he was attracted to how I presented my genuine personality. So it's always good to show your genuine personality. 😊
I love your story!! It's cute and definitely shows perseverance! Had you not bothered to call, you wouldn't have known you read the paper wrong. I am so happy now, and this made my day!
I met my husband at our high school reunion. We knew each other but didn't really connect until then.
What.a great story! That is how most great stories go! I held on to my sweetheart's card for a full week before mustering the courage to call. And listening to that small voice inside changed my life.
Amazing serendipity love story. Thank you for sharing.
I haven’t met my significant other, but I guess I need to smile more often to kind-looking strangers.
Hi, Andrea! A new follower over here!
I met my husband on a dates app. We weren't looking for a partner but a person to have a good time with... And we just connected. Immediately. It was awesome... We've been together for 7 years and have two daughters.
I'm not really into fashion but I just like the way you express yourself... And it's interesting to learn about something you know nothing.
Your story is so sweet! I haven't met my husband yet, but i do wish it could be fateful/magical as yours🌸
This is so adorable 😭 Im glad you had the nerve to troubleshoot that situation.
Serendipity! Beautiful story!
My husband and I both have ADHD and also walk full speed everywhere. Our first passing / seeing one another was almost running into each other's face. He rushed around a corner without fully paying attention and so did I. We were preoccupied with work thoughts. We stopped just short of smashing into one another and each apologized. There was a pause. We looked at one another and I felt a ridiculous electric charge pulse through me. Starting in my stomach going up to my neck and back and down to my toes. Weird. Very weird. In hindsight we felt like we were meant to cross paths. Ours felt like reconnecting with an old friend after a very long time. I missed him instantly after that first passing where we only said "sorry!". We continued to rush past one another doing what we do...stealing glances when we could. One word eventually turned into full conversations until we decided to go check out a band that we both heard of recently. We were having a great time at the show and after the backs of our hands brushed against each other a few times while moving through the crowd , he grabbed my hand to hold it and I held it back. Again - electricity! That is all she wrote and that was that.
What a sweet story!! Thanks for sharing, Andrea!
My husband and I met when he saw me reading a book and walked over to ask what I was reading. We started trading books, then started dating, and then we got married! Books bring people together! ❤
I love the way she explains it! Refreshing to see that someone young believes in being upfront !
Fantastic story, Andrea.
I met my partner at a gig at the Roundhouse, Camden. It was during the intermission that we started talking, then emailed and met up again a few days later. We have been together just over 2 years & have been talking everyday since ❤
She has the cutest voice and vibe I’ve ever seen 🥹
the best storyteller Andrea! :) i met my wife in the post office and after a month we got married! it was cute too that we are on our late 30's and this is our first.
This story was wonderfully magical and very real life combined! Thanks for sharing! ❤
Net on our 1st day of secondary school aged 10 & he became my 1st boyfriend. Reunited 5 years later & have been together ever since❤
Love love love this...i absolutely love to hear happy people in happy relationships talk about how they met...maybe because im 41 and still have yet to meet my mr wonderful. But so many stories on here have given me hope..thank you for sharing Andrea.... you are one of my favorite tubers and you just never disappoint .💖💖💖..
Love this!!!! Love to hear people meeting the old fashioned way!!! My husband and I met through a mutual friend and have been inseparable since!
On the edge of my seat the whole time!!! Loved this story, thank you so much for sharing.
I met my husband on a dating website, on a Saturday in early March. We talked on the phone all weekend. On Tuesday we met in person and hugged immediately. By Friday he was basically moved in with me (he was staying in a family home as they were in hospital for several months and the place needed someone there). In July we were married, and still going after 19 years. I'm so happy you found each other Andrea. I am also of German descent (though have never been there), and I am also direct. We still joke about that now - how I said to him the first time we spent the whole day together "are you going to kiss me now, or what?". Lol, fun memories. The other very interesting piece of this is, when I was 19 and in my first car I got stuck in the snow. Three young fellows came outside from the house near where I had gotten stuck, and they pushed me out of the snow. When I was 33 and met my husband, it turned out he was one of these three! 14 years earlier. I have enjoyed my time with him from day one, and I wish you both a long and wonderful marriage. By the way, your pets are all sooo adorable 🥰
Loved your sweet story! Thank you for sharing it with us!! You are a great storyteller! Met my husband when a snowstorm delayed my flight to meet my brother making his friend need to get me at the airport. Also he chose me over my identical twin sister😂❤we both had a crush on him!! Married 54 years❤❤❤meant to be 🤗
