We met in college.
One night I saw the most amazing-looking girl I'd ever seen in my life, head shaved around the sides, little dyed-red tail on the top, leather motorcycle jacket with Minor Threat painted on the back, like Tank Girl (this is 1989 or'90). I was in love, but she was with some artsy dude. The next day, I was trying to describe her to my friend while we were in the cafeteria, when he points out the window behind me, "you mean her?" He ran outside to grab her and brought her to our table. Turns out they went to high school together.
The rest is history. Actually we dated for two years then broke up. 5 years after that, I reached out to her (email existed by that point, I thought it wouldn't be so intrusive), we started dated again and got married in 2004.
