My parents met through an introduction. My father was looking for a woman because he thought he had come of age and announced that intention to his friends. Somebody told him he would introduce him to someone. So, an introduction was arranged that the both of them should spend the time together as partners in preaching the good news. They struck it off immediately and after some months decided to tie the knot.
To this day, even in their old age, my parents still remember that day they spent together preaching because while doing so, my father forgot his umbrella at the house of someone. My mother says he was love struck that's why.
Do you have a fun story about how your parents met?

My parents met through mutual friends in New York. Both my parents are from Montreal originally, but my dad was studying in New York city at the time. One weekend, my mom went to New York with her friend, and they had dinner with the friend of my mom's friend. That friend of a friend knew my dad, and the four of them had dinner. That's what my parents told me.

Hello. My parents met when my dad and his family rented a place in my mom's parents' house. My mom was a teacher and was doing teaching stuff and my dad started helping her out. I think my mom thought that my dad would be her soon-to-be-husband and indeed he was.

@mydanods indeed that was what happened because my grandparents did not like my dad for my mom. They thought he was good for nothing guy. But in the twist of fate, my dad was the one helping my grandparents when they were alive.

My parents met in high school but were just friends. After graduation and college, they later ran into each other at a club. They have been together 27 years.
