Do you love hearing stories about how people met and got married? Some stories are straight forward, others take twists and turns. Maybe you know a couple who met in high school, parted ways, one of them went to live with gorillas while the other became a personal trainer, and then they bumped into each other at an orchid convention. Anyways, now they’re married.
On Reddit, folks are telling their “anyways, now we’re married” stories, and some are really fun and others are really weird—in a good way, of course. Because now, they’re married!

“Met a new coworker and our first interaction was me saying, ‘I don’t believe you’ under my breath as I walked by. He thought I said ‘I don’t like you.’ Anyways, we’re married now.” — studassparty

“He came to the door to borrow my sister’s textbook. No one would answer the door so I dragged myself out of bed, and answered the door in nightgown and curlers (hey, it was the early 80’s, ok?). He told me was there to see my sister. without a word I nodded, turned around and screamed ‘SISSS-TURRR,’ turned back around, said ‘family intercom system’ completely deadpan, and left him standing on the porch while I went back to bed. Married me anyway, 38 years on the 21st.” — maimou1

“When I was 13, I met a girl, Debby, at summer camp. She talked about her horses and attending the big interstate fair every year with her 4H group. On my 13th birthday I went to the fair and looked Debby up. She agreed to go to the carnival with me, but wasn’t all that interested (I can’t blame her, 13-year old me was a dweeb). She brought along her annoying girlfriend Rene to keep me from getting too fresh, which worked. I was determined to get Debby alone, not that I knew exactly why, so I took the girls on the Tip-Top ride. Rene got sick, got off the ride, and puked. Debby and Rene used that as an excuse to split, and I never saw Debby again. Three years later, a beautiful new girl with long black hair moved out on my school bus line. I was immediately interested, and began a (much smoother) conversation. We went out a couple weeks later, and went to a carnival. She took me on the Tip-Top, and I puked. That girl was Rene, we were both three years older; and anyways, we’re married now: for 41 years.” — Plethorian
