if so, spill the beans!
define 'unusual' please...
I've shared this story several times here on the forum, but here it is again...
I met my SO at a Christmas party (2006) a friend of mine from work gave.
I was in the process of breaking up with my then-current-boyfriend and was really just tired of men and what-not. I went to the party just to please my friend who always invites me to gatherings and I would never attend. I really didn't want to go, but boy oh boy, am I glad I did!
I was sitting in front of the fireplace and just observing the people mix and mingle and this skinny, tall, white guy sits down on the couch adjacent to me. We struck up a conversation and I find he was pretty interesting and kind of cool in a way; I found that I really liked talking to him and could tell he was a very nice person. He wouldn't leave my side ....
To make a long story short, that very same night (hours later), he shocked me by kissing me when I turned my head to ask him a question.
We have been together ever since that night and I couldn't be happier! . Oh, I found out later that he had seen me before at my friend's house and was attracted to me then; that was 2 years before this party.
Our relationship has really progressed to the point where we practically live together (his home; I have my own key & everything!). He drives me nutz sometime (what man doesn't?), but we seem to be made for one another. My family is amazed that some skinny white guy has turned out to be my match and a good one at that!
That is why I always say this; "Always smile because you never know who's falling in love with your smile!"
Short version: My husband and I knew each other from high school, and reunited several years later on myspace lol...fell in love, and got married.
Long version:
We had crushes on each other in high school, but neither of us ever made a definite move. I was dating a guy who dumped me the week before the prom, and Charlie (my DH) slipped me a note that had the lyrics to comforter by Shai. I was cheesing so hard. But still, he never asked me out! Come to find out all these years later, he told his parents about me and they werent cool with him dating outside of his race and thats why he stopped pursuing me. We had talked on the phone a couple of times and hung out in a group, but it never went further. We lost touch the summer we graduated.
He was one of those people I always wondered what ever happened to. Im not that sentimental and dont keep a lot of stuff because Ive moved a lot over the years, but for some reason I kept a picture I had of us from 11th grade all these years. Come to find out, he went in the Air Force right after high school in 98 and got married shortly after that, and divorced in '04. I had been in an on and off relationship with someone who treated me badly for pretty much all those years. We were engaged twice, but never got married. We were still together, but on the rocks as usual.
I always thought myspace was stupid and juvenile...but one of my friends finally got me on there and the day I signed up I saw his profile on our schools page. I was ecstatic and literally screamed like a little girl and was jumping up and down.
I emailed him and we started talking back and forth about what we had been up to over the years. Then he started calling me...at first it was just like old friends catching up type of thing. We went to school in TN but coincidently we were both in FL at this time. He was serving his last year in the air force. I casually mentioned maybe we could meet up SOMETIME. He called me the next day and said he was coming that same weekend LOL. The spark was already there and I knew what I was getting myself into...but it was so exciting and I felt so alive that I couldnt say no. Its like I just wanted to see "what if!?"....
Well what if turned into us instantly becoming crazy about each other. I broke it off with my ex for good, which took a little time. In the meanwhile, Charlie had gotten out of the military and went back to our hometown. I went back for 2 weeks to see family and we were inseparable the whole time. I didnt want to come back home lol. We decided one of us was moving. It ended up being him. 6 months later we got engaged...10 months later we got married (easter sunday of this year)...and thats our story. Never been happier
I put in an ad on this online forum that's how I met my bf.

A young woman volunteers at a community center. She works overseeing the elderly in various recreational activities offered by the center. Well she becomes very close to the ladies she works with. One in particular really admires the young woman and always compliments her. She tells her she is beautiful, smart, and an overall good example of how a young woman should be in this day and age. One day she tells the young woman that she would love for her to be her grandson's future wife. The young woman thinks the older lady is a little off...mainly because the young woman is black...and the older lady is as white as they come, but she laughed it off anyway. Well weeks later the older lady informs the young woman that her grandson will be picking her up and she'd like for her to meet him. The young woman felt very uncomfortable about the whole situation. But lo and behold, he comes in to get his grandmother and she introduces them. They are both nervous as they shake hands and instantly kinda hit it off. After that, he comes and picks his grandmother up every visit, and they talk for a while every time. He finally asks her out and it turns into a serious relationship. Well his grandmother passes before they get married, so they dedicated a portion of their wedding to the woman they say saw potential for love that transcends all borders and barriers. And she was right, this young woman did become her grandson's wife. Who would've known?
