Walking down the aisle together
\nHometown: Jacksonville, FL
\nMarried: October 20, 2007<\/p>\n
It was their best friend\u2019s wedding in 2003: Sara was a bridesmaid and Patrick was a groomsman. \u201cWe were introduced during the rehearsal, and we walked down the aisle together,\u201d says Sara. \u201cAt the rehearsal dinner, Sara\u2019s table was by the buffet, and I got up to refill my plate six times as an excuse to talk to her,\u201d admits Patrick. Adds Sara, \u201cWe dated long distance for six months; then I moved to Jacksonville. Eventually we talked down the aisle again- but this time it was for real!\u201d<\/p>\n
In a virtual world
\nHometown: Seacaucus, NJ
\nMarried: April 25, 2008<\/p>\n
The couple first met at Tiki Cove Plaza- but wait a sec, it\u2019s not an actual plaza. It exists in a virtual world called There.com, and their two animated avatars started \u201changing out.\u201d After a year of virtual dating, they decided to try it for real. \u201cWe were both nervous,\u201d says Megan. \u201cBut we really hit it off!\u201d They dated in real life for another year before deciding to get hitched. Their wedding was in New Jersey, and a virtual one (yep, they exist!) was on There.com for online friends.<\/p>\n
In front of a mailbox
\nHometown: Atlanta, GA
\nMarried: August 12th, 2006<\/p>\n
When Cedric moved into Maria\u2019s building, her pal (who happened to be the building manager) told her they had to meet. \u201cI stalked the common areas and saw him at the mailboxes on day,\u201d says Maria. \u201cI helped her carry her bags onto the elevator, and when she got off, I said, \u2018If you ever need anything, I\u2019m in 3104,\u2019\u201d Cedric remembers. Later that night, she knocked on his door and asked him out. \u201cA year later, I proposed\u2026 by the mailboxes, of course,\u201d says Cedric.<\/p>\n
In the waiting room of a Dr.\u2019s office
\nHometown: Austin, TX
\nMarried: September 13th, 2008<\/p>\n
Jen had pulled a muscle in her back, and Mike had an earache. They both ended up in the waiting room of a doctor\u2019s office, and Mike struck up a conversation with Jen. \u201cI never, ever imagined I\u2019d meet my future husband in a waiting room, much less while I was barely able to walk due to major back pain, but I guess it happens when it happens,\u201d says Jen. \u201cThis all went down before the movie Garden State came out,\u201d says Mike. \u201cWe think they stole our story for that movie.\u201d<\/p>\n
At an Arizona Cardinals game
\nHometown: Phoenix, AZ
\nMarried: January 24th, 2009<\/p>\n
\u201cI bought season tickets to the Cardinals and went to every game,\u201d says Charlotte. \u201cBut I didn\u2019t notice this handsome, sweet, smart man sitting next to me every weekend.\u201d During a particular lackluster game, the two started talking. \u201cI had convinced this kid in front of us to give Charlotte some of his cotton candy. I knew that sealed the deal,\u201d laughs John. \u201cAt the last game, she gave me her business card. I emailed her right after the game and asked her out.\u201d<\/p>\n
At nursery school
\nHometown: San Francisco, CA
\nMarried: July 11, 2003<\/p>\n
\u201cAlex and his friends were playing Star Wars at nursery school,\u201d recalls Emma. \u201cHe was Luke and let me be Leia.\u201d The two stayed friends all though college, where they were roommates. \u201cAfter grad school, we moved to NYC and rented a one-bedroom apartment, and fate said enough was enough,\u201d says Emma. \u201cWe became a couple, to the amusement of our friends, and got married. It\u2019s funny\u2026. We\u2019ve known each other longer than our younger siblings!\u201d<\/p>\n
