35 Wildly Unromantic Ways Couples Have Met
Not everyone can have the star-crossed moments that romcoms are built on. But these stories are at least proof that you can fall in love anywhere — sometimes literally.
One Redditor passed along the story about the unlikely way his parents met. His father was on vacation and enjoying the view from his hotel balcony. Out of nowhere, the balcony collapsed, and he landed on the balcony directly below him — breaking his pelvis, arm and knee in the process. Thankfully, the bone-shattering pain didn’t stop him from flirting with the girl staying in the room he crashed into (aka the Redditor’s mom).
Other Redditors have shared the wildly unromantic ways couples they know have met, which include a drive-by shooting, an avocado fight and — defying all odds — through a DM on Reddit.
