What a great story Robin! I don't have a story, but I'll share how my parents met. My dad was forced to go a family friend's birthday party for their daughter because his parents couldn't go. My mom was in town visiting and went to the same party with her cousin who knew the girl. My mom caught my dad's eye as well as his friend's. My dad made a bet with his friend-who ever got her to dance first would win $100 & the loser drink a pitcher of beer. His friend goes up first but my mom says no, not because she wasn't interested-she didn't speak English at the time. So friend told my dad she was stuck up and not to bother. My dad goes up and she explains she doesn't know English and he asks her in Spanish. They've been married for 34 years & every weekend they have dates.
