How did you meet your significant other?

I met my future wife in a somewhat unconventional way. I worked at a liquor store owned by my uncle. She worked as an assistant manager of the apartment complex next door to it.

I had actually gone to look at renting an apartment there for me and my roommate before we officially “met”. But this is where it first happened. She showed me her own apartment at the time. But we didn’t end up renting there.

Fast forward a bit, and we had both kind of forgotten about me looking at an apartment. She would frequently come to the liquor store to pick up the college newspaper. So, we would chat briefly from time to time. One day, during the remodel that was taking place, she came in with the intention of giving her number to one of the young construction workers. He wasn’t there that day. Apparently not wanting to leave defeated, she gave her number to me. The rest, as they say, is history.

I do kid her from time to time that I was “plan B”. She just rolls her eyes.
