Couples Are Sharing The Weird Ways They Got Together, So Maybe You Won’t Die Alone

Hearing about the way that some couples met can be kind of depressing because it's so romantic or cool and you know that nothing like that is ever going to happen to you. But don't lose hope. For every couple that met in an adorable fashion, there is a couple who met under some weird, boring, or embarrassing circumstance.

It's like, "Oh, so you're fit and take good care of yourself and you also found your true love?"

Tweet: At the gym. I was lifting heavier weights than he was. Married for 25 years.

Even though it led her to find her true love, let's hope that she never texted while driving after that.
