Let me ask you something: do you believe in soulmates? It might be a romanticized way to look at things, but some of us do hope to find a partner for life. Even though we often hear about breakups and dating horror stories, that doesn't mean we should give up on true love.
That's why I wanted to share with you these sweet instances of couples who are truly meant for each other. Check these stories out and let me know what you think.
So get this, apparently, this married couple didn't realize that they actually took photos of the same landmark at the very same time. Here's the proof. You can see the man in the background of the woman's picture. Isn't that wild or what?
"They dated in their teens, married different people, and got back together 65 years later. My grandma and her boyfriend."
Oh, wow! How amazing is that? I'm so happy for them both, and they look absolutely thrilled to be together.
If you find somebody to enjoy baseball with you for so long, they sure must be your soulmate, no? These two are beyond adorable. I'm happy somebody was able to capture this sweet couple spending their day together.
"When I met my wife, we didn't know at the time but it turns out that we have similar-looking birthmarks on our thighs."
Would you look at that? What could be the odds of that? One in a million? I have no idea, but it's pretty cool if you asked me.
"I got married last month. My wife and I thought we met for the first time in our twenties. We found out a few years later our mothers were best friends in high school. This photo was displayed at our wedding showing our actual first-time meeting."
Aww, that's such a sweet story, no?
"The first moment my mom and dad met 35 years ago when they collided while playing volleyball."
I don't know about you, but I can definitely see sparks flying in this old-school capture. And I love photos like that.
"A marriage 3 decades late: My mother lost touch with her then boyfriend 30 years ago after their grad trip due to long distance and no internet. 2 years ago, he reconnected with her through LinkedIn. After numerous FaceTime calls and flying back and forth, they finally got married."
Wow, that's so awesome.
Check this out. Both of these lovers took a trip to surprise each other. The only thing is they did it at the same time, so they ended up on in different cities searching for each other. Not only is this sweet but also funny to boot — no more surprise trips for these two.
"At age 4, I whispered sweet nothings into her ear. 24 years later, we’re getting married."
Aww, I just love reading stories like that. Sometimes I wish I'd met my husband when we were both young. It would have been so cool.
"My now husband and me circa 2004, a year or two before we would meet."
Is it just me, or do you feel the same teenage angst through these pictures too, haha? I guess, it was definitely meant, that these two should meet. Am I right?
"I sent my mom this adorable picture of my wife at Halloween in the 90s. She sent back this picture of me! It was meant to be."
Don't you just love coincidences like that? I think this is pretty cute.
"My boyfriend was my neighbor when we were babies, and we only knew each other for real when we were about 16 years old."
She clearly had eyes for him even back then when they were just tykes, haha. Aww, so sweet, no?
"Me in 1998 and my wife in 2000. Her grandparents sent her that photo in a card several months back and I knew soon as I saw it I had an old school photo where we are dressed the same with a similar haircut. Found it tonight. Ten years together and not looking back!"
Haha! How funny is that? It was meant to be, no?
"Laura and I met in preschool. One of my very first memories is of being 3 years old and standing up in front of my pre-school class, declaring that I would marry her someday."
Aww, isn't that the sweetest or what? I just love that story so much.
OMG, I'm dying here. Well, if a man claims something like that, you know he really loves you. I have to ask my new husband if he would do that for me, hehe, and he better say, "yes," lol.
"Tomorrow is my parent's 25th anniversary and they are still as in love today as they were when they met 45 years ago. At ages 2 and 4 they were next-door neighbors and quickly became the best of friends."
"Unfortunately, my dad's family moved away to California but their moms (my grandmothers) wrote letters to each other to keep in touch. My dad went on to attend the Naval Academy and would often visit my mom's family in Connecticut- always hoping my mom would be home visiting from college in Philadelphia. Eventually, she caught on and their flame ignited. He proposed at the Army-Navy football game in 1990."
"My parents have shown tremendous strength throughout my dad's entire military career with all the relocating and trips apart, all while raising four kids. They're thoughtful and kind to one another but never lose their spirit or sense of adventure. They still climb mountains and attend rock concerts together. Their love is the best kind."
I am lost for words.
"This picture of my parents never actually happened, but two separate photos that fit perfectly together."
Oh my goodness, what? Can you even believe that? That is such a great coincidence, no? I can't get over how perfectly these separate photos fit together.
Here's the sweetest love story. Apparently, these two were a flower girl and a ring bearer at somebody's wedding years ago. And now they actually got married to each other. Doesn't that story just warm your heart? It sure does mine.
Looking at these photos and reading these stories, it's pretty clear these couples were definitely meant for each other. I don't know about you, but I love hearing about love connections such as these. Do you have a special story to share about how you met the love of your life?
