33 Incredible, Real Life Meet Cutes That Actually Led To Marriage

My parents met because my dad was best friend's with my mom's little cousin growing up. Then, they got older and wound up running into each other at a party where my mom told my dad to stand guard while he egged her ex boyfriend's house. In that moment, he promised himself he would never get involved with this woman, only to, of course, marry her a few years later, then produce an amazing child (me) with her. Great story, but I wouldn't quite call it a "meet cute." A real life meet cute seems almost impossible when most people in our generation are meeting people on their cell phones, but they DO happen.

Heck, my boyfriend and I met at a bar because he asked where I got my bucket hat. Yep, we met IRL and we have a real life story! But a rom-com level meet cute? Well, those we don't come across that often. That is, until user @Nicole_Cliffe posted on Twitter asking people to post their parents' how we met stories. Oh man, you guys, prepare to have ALL of your faith in love restored. These are 33 of the most adorable stories you will ever hear. And the best part? They're REAL.
