Hello again, it's great to be making a thread again! no applause, please.

So, I've been hanging out with my mom an awful lot lately. Since my dad died, she has remained single, which I've discovered, she intends to do for the remainder of her life, I've caught her humming Pearl Jam's Last Kiss multiple times. I guess she's going to wait until she sees him again in the afterlife. Yes, he was THAT awesome of a guy.
This startling realization begged the question: "Just how did you two meet?"
"Well," she said simply, "In a grocery market."
She was immediately distracted after that by some 'other' sibling of mine, but I intend to bring up the subject again in order to wrench the whole story from her.

So, while I'm cajoling her to spill it, I'm sure you all could entertain me with a few love stories?

How did your parents meet?

Honest answers here, please, the sappier the better!
