skittles_of_SDC 0 #51 January 17, 2009 My cousin and her husband had the same type of thing. Those are some of the coolest stories. Especially when you hear from people how random the place was. I don't know if I believe in destiny but if something were to convince me it would be stories like yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
banesanura 1 #52 January 17, 2009 I hate to be cheesy- but I think things happen for a reason. There isn't a person in the world that has the same story but it's always great to hear about their adventures! Best Girl Scout Ever. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k_marr08 0 #53 January 17, 2009 Went to San Diego on vacation with an ex (he was an ex at the time) and his grandma got sick and he had to fly back to NY. I had met a certain infamous ex-dz.commer on myspace and had met up with him in San Diego, and asked if I could crash at his place for the week. He said yes, but that I had to take the floor because the futon was already called for by another skydiver who was visiting San Diego for a wedding. We three had a ridiculously fun time wreaking havoc on the city :D. A year and a half later, in June '08, that visiting skydiver who gave up the futon for me ("I like sleeping on bean bags, they're REALLY comfortable!") and I got hitched. Our infamous ex-dz.commer buddy came all the way out to Thailand to be there for the wedding. It's still new and wonderful and exciting and I'm loving life; so far so good "I believe the risks I take are justified by the sheer love of the life I lead" - Charles Lindbergh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After talking every day either on the internet, or phone, I grew more fond of her, and fell in love. .. now we are happily married. I had tried E-harmony at one point in my life... ..

I don't know if I believe in destiny but if something were to convince me it would be stories like yours. Indeed - just scrolling through the bar pass list (two or three thousand names) I saw it for a split second. I thought, "hmmm. Is that the same person?". I sent her an e-mail and she responded, "that's me. Who are you?" One thing led to another and we were both at the right points in our lives. My wife is hotter than your wife.

skittles_of_SDC 0 #64 January 18, 2009 I assume you were both living there for a time. If not, that presents an interesting question. If you meet someone on vacation like that from another country how do you date? [shrugs] (They really need a questioning emoticon) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RevJim 0 #65 January 18, 2009 Right out of high school she had a kid with, then married my best friend. Then had 3 more kids with him. So I've known her for about 18 years. Took 17 years for us to realize we were with the wrong people. Needless to say, he's not such a great friend anymore...It's your life, live it!
