That is exactly how we felt, from the very moment we met. We just had that feeling - destiny? We were also dating other people at the time, but once we met each other we knew the game had changed.

1) How the heck did he beat me at Gin Rummy that first night when I so brilliantly stacked the decks (was he carrying an extra deck of cards with him?)

2) Where the heck did he hide my engagement ring before he proposed after backpacking/camping for 4 days in the Pacific Northwest. I had packed his backpack - where did he put the ring???

These are life mysteries.

Long story which involves a lot of luck and booze and international travel.

Honestly I was never attracted to him anyway initially, he was just another guy I dealt with on a professional level.
After I quit I didn't see him for a few months and happened to run into him while out running errands.
We had a coffee and got caught up, became friends and remained friends only for about 5 years.
Within the friendship time frame he ended up getting divorced and was separated/divorced for a couple years before we became "Us". We have been "Us" for 10 years now and married for 7 years.
You just never know where that special someone is going to turn up in you life!

I met her in high school. We're not together though. More than 20 years have passed.

I answered an ad on a college bulletin board for a vacancy in a six-bedroom house full of students. I moved into one of the rooms and my future wife was already living in another one of the rooms. I met her shortly after I moved in.

As she likes to say:

"Living together before marriage? My husband and I lived together before we even met!"
