My parents got together in an interesting way... Mom was finishing her PhD at UCLA, Dad was a newly tenured professor here in Gainesville at UF. They met in an elevator at a convention in Cincinnati, got married 3 weeks later (Dad drove the 356 out to LA), and lasted 27 years until the day Dad died.
31 years ago, I met a nurse at work, was probably something romantic like "Hey, Mr Jones in 412 is back from PT and shiat his pants, needs a new diaper" ....
Followed it up with a date, which turned into a one-night stand..... and 3 weeks later we were living together. My Mom questioned me about it, but I reminded her of what she and dad did back in '68. And then 7 years after that we married. And now 31 years later, still married, 3 kids, 3 cats and a dog.
