I just missed mine. Feeling pretty stupid right now. Hopefully your stories will cheer me up.

A bit different one:

The year was 2010, and I was living abroad at the time. I was visiting the old country for a few days to renew my passport, and the day before I was supposed to fly back to where I lived, two things happened:

  • Ran into this FWB i knew before moving abroad.
  • Eyjafjallajökull had a volcanic eruption, shutting down air traffic in all of northern Europe.

Long story short, my FWB and I reconnected in the extra time I was given, and things developed further than they ever had before. Today we have a house and four kids together. I think it's getting serious.

I love this story.

FWB? Frightful White Boy?
