I was close friends with his brother and sister in law - He was living in France with his girlfriend *spits* - he came back home for the weekend to visit his brother the same weekend I was staying over at their house.
We stayed up the whole night chatting and after the weekend was over he flew home and broke up with his gf - he came back and asked me out - we got engaged 4 weeks later, married 7 months after that and we've been together for 25 years
