First time I genuinely remember meeting him, it was on Tinder almost a year ago, clicked straightaway and haven't left each others side since really. But last week when our parents met at a family BBQ, I learnt that we used to have swimming classes together when we were about 9. He was the boy that I remember I hated because he was a better swimmer than me (i'd always been one of the strongest swimmers in my classes before) and I pushed him in the pool fully clothed once because he was annoying me. He was only around for about 6 months before his family moved to New Zealand, which is why I didn't remember him, but we both became competitive swimmers in our teens, which I think stems from us constantly wanted to outdo each other in our classes as kids. We swim together now, and yes, he's still the better swimmer much to my dispair.
His friend got him a job where I work and we got to know each other and have been together since then which is 6 years + 
...then eventually met after a month or so. Together for 21 years now, married for 17 of those with 4 children 
we are a long-ish distance couple and trying to save for a house at the moment.
I wasn’t even supposed to be working that day I was on standby and someone called in sick so I got called in. Was in a very bad mood as I drove to the airport. Soon as I met him it all faded away (sounds so cheesy). I knew straight away he was the one. We spent the whole trip together and have been inseparable even since! We were supposed to be getting married this summer but Covid 
. Hopefully next year
