THE STRANGE WAY WE MET & WHAT SOMEONE SAID!! INTERRACIAL COUPLES STORY!!

[@jakimaurey-delaunay4001]

Totally believe in manifestation: at the age of 6 I told my Dominican aunt, when I grow up I’m going to marry a french man, so I need to learn french. Hahaha. My aunt bought me a french storybook. I learnt french, I’m almost 50 been married 25 years to my french man.

[@nancyparmelee4161]

I met my husband in a supermarket. I was 16 he was 18. I went shopping with my parents every Friday night. He was a stock boy and still in high school. He saw me walking around the store and started up a conversation, so every Friday night we just chatted and flirted, but totally innocent and just became friends. Then we just lost track of each other till I bumped into him in a nightclub when I was 20 and in college, then I walked up to him and started the conversation. Two years later we were married. That was 48 years ago. Hard to believe. I would still pick him.

I met my husband at a shoe store. My friend who is afraid to make returns made me go to the store with her to make the return on her behalf. My husband was working at the store. But here’s the kicker. My husband did NOT usually work at that store. He worked at another store in another city. The only reason he was there is because one of his co-workers in that store wanted to go to a protest that day and he was filling in for him. Well I guess my friend saw sparks flying as we were talking because she just excused herself and we ended up having our first mini date right then in the mall food court 😂. We dated for 5 years and then had a dream Wedding. He is the most amazing person I’ve ever met.

[@moniquerh1]

I am Black -American and my Husband is White -Belgian. Just how you knew you would live in New York, I knew I would live in Europe. We met while on tour with 2 different bands in the States. I am a singer, he is a DJ. After 2 months of being on tour, our tours became one. Our first show together was at the Oregon Zoo. We toured for 1 month, together, he went home and we talked on the phone for 4 months before I went to visit him in Belgium. After that visit, I went home, packed up my life and moved to Belgium 2 months later. I moved in with him in January, we were married in April. On April 26th we will celebrate 16 years of marriage. He said to me yesterday, that he is so happy to be in quarantine with this family ( we have a 13-year-old daughter) As horrible as all this is, what's going on in the world, I knew what he meant and felt the same. It was easy to fall in love with him and even easier to stay in love with him. I loved the story of how you guys met. Stay Safe through all this.

[@vonettadevo]

Ahhh......I'm married to a Belgian guy whom I love as well but haven't settled in Belgium successfully ....compared to my former life in London. Are you in the French or Dutch region? And do you have any tips in settling into the country?

[@moniquerh1]

G.C.S * I live on the Dutch side. I took advantage of the free classes and although my dutch is not perfect, I can get around by myself fine. I also work in the entertainment business so I think it was a lot easier to fit in. I have no idea what I would do for work otherwise 😊

[@onosxo]

This is so sweet. I’m in an interracial relationship myself and we definitely experience the same challenges, but between the two of us, we’re just in love. My biggest pet peeve is when black men try to shame me because they think I’m dating the enemy. In my opinion black love is when black people get to love whoever they want.

I met my hubby at work. We were orientated at the same time in a small group of new comers[ I was the only Black person]. For ten years I said "Good Morning Mr.Cohen" and replied in kind as we entered the building or parking area around the same time. He heard through the "grapevine" that I was getting married and sadly congratulated me.[which I felt was a little strange] That Summer I broke off my engagement and told a select few of what happened. Mr. Cohen came smiling to me saying,"I'm sorry to hear about what happened over the Summer. Are you okay?" There was another orientation while sitting across from me he motioned we should be partners for the days activities .......and we've been married partners for the past 25 years!!!

True story I had wanted to thank him and when we shook hands it was like I could see my whole life flashed forward with him crazy I know but like a movie . So I said to my daughter later I felt like I have known him my whole life she laughed said mom you just met . I couldn’t get him out of my mind . He and I unknowingly kept asking my daughter about each other . We met for coffee talked what seem like forever and it was like we were so much alike . We were always together from then on and married on the same date we met 3 years later been together 10 years now . ❤️💕

Exactly. Weeks before even pictures were exchanged because by that time they were already genuinely enamored of each other's personalities and that initial link can over ride a lot of the superficial nonsense we often in this age, use as full determinant of another person's value as a mate and life partner.

I agree. That's why I dislike dating Apps like Tinder where people swipe past based on looks alone without ever giving anyone a chance to get to know them. It's so superficial. No wonder relationships don't last these days if everything is based on looks alone as you could be swiping past your soulmate without ever giving them a chance.

My husband and I literally bumped into each other at the main library in Cincinnati. I said sorry sweets, and went upstairs to find the book that brought me to town. Not five minutes had passed when I turn around and there he was walking towards me. I thought, how did he know what floor I was on ...but there was just something about him. We walked to the balcony and talked about food because I was holding a cookbook by the Two Fat Ladies . The conversation moved to art and then he asked for my phone number, I asked the lady at the checkout desk for a pencil and he told her he was going to marry me one day. I thought oh my goodness! I have given my number to a nut! He promised he was not a nut, and asked me to go to this bar and grill called Arnolds. We had a bowl of soup and shared a tiramisu and haven't parted since that day . Our 24th anniversary was March 25th and we have a 17 year old daughter. I can actually say he is the love of my life .I am African American and my husband is Romanian.

And we were the best of friends and we dated and the next thing we knew we had been married for 20 short years.

But there’s a small hope still within me... and I hate myself for it. I’m glad you found love. I’m happy for everyone that does. It seems like an incredible experience.

Never give up. Fall madly in love with yourself because life is too short and precious not to. Wishing you all the best for 2021

I didn’t knew that strangers could like my photos so I went on his profile to see who he was, and that’s it, I fell in love lol After 5 months chatting, he went from Italy to Brazil to meet me and after 1 year we got married. We love each other like crazy and now we have a 20 month old cute little boy. 💖

Aw, this is cute!! Clearly you two were meant to be ☺️My husband and I met on Instagram. To this day he doesn’t remember how he came across my profile because we have no mutual friends nor do we follow the same ppl. One day on my lunch break, I randomly posted a video of a beautiful hotel on the edge of the sea and captioned it “Future husband, here.” implying that I wanted my future husband to take me to that hotel one day. He responded with “ok, future wife” ! Lol, I went to this ‘stranger’s’ profile and liked what I saw so I responded with and “lol” and the rest is history. We celebrate our one year wedding anniversary next month☺️💕💕💕

I just had to comment. My husband and I met online and after talking almost daily on BBM and sometimes on video Skype, we decided to meet in a different country in neutral territory. He not only bought my plane ticket (business class because I had once mentioned that I had never travelled business class) but arranged to pick me up from the airport. I went armed with emergency numbers provided by my friends, just in case he turned out to be a psycho. I didn't see him when I walked through arrivals but he saw me and came up to me and gave me a one armed hug. We spent the next four days getting to know each other. By day two, I realised that I already knew him - this was my friend. The one I had been talking to for 6 months. All that was left was to meet him in person. We've been inseparable ever since. Almost 9 years now.

When I was young, in the 70s I thought I would live in Hong Kong one day. I had dreams of being in places where I didn't understand the people around me. I stayed up late and listened to HAM radio and tried to figure out where the people were. I was already big Paddington Bear fan and thought I was going to be a nomad like he was. Fast forward to my adult life, I've lived in a few countries, visited many and lived in Hong Kong long enough to become a resident. I feel peace there. BTW the grocery thing happens with my same race partner, I think it is on body language so they just check. Love your story. I think we cross the paths of others for a reason and it can take years for us to understand that reason.

[@AmandaFitPanda]

I met my husband thru a mutual friend. She liked him so much for me that she showed him my picture and asked if he was interested in meeting me. She then came back to me and told me about him. I wasn’t interested because we have an 8 yr age gap. I’m older. A week later he messaged me aka slid in my DM’s 🤣 I turned him down a few times but then eventually talked me into meeting him for a little fun at Top Golf. Never thinking anything would come of it because in my head he’d be too immature for me. He was 28 and I was 36. That was 2015. We married in 2017. He’s the love of my life ♥️

[@tracydavis1890]

My husband and I met when we were ten years old, we lived on the same street. When he and his family moved on that street I noticed him right off the back. We started really liking one another when we turned twelve and we would say we were going to get married and eleven years later at the age of twenty three we married. It will be thirty eight years this November (Lord willing)! There's a lot of communication in our marriage we make each other laugh constantly. Do we argue...yes...but we're still here with each other and communing. Many years ago I said to my husband "YOU DON'T LOVE ME LIKE YOU USED TO"...he replied "NO I DON'T...I LOVE YOU MORE!" That was so romantic to me...it wasn't what he said but how he said it. After all these years I am still so in love with that man...Remember this COMMUNICATION is very important in ones marriage.

My husband and I met at a (gulp--embaressed--!!) Star Trek convention in Los Angles in the mid-seventies. We found we had similar interests, exchanged addresses and started corresponding (we were from different states). Stayed pen-pals (this was in the days before email!) for six years and then we developed from friends to being in love. Got married in early 80's. We are still nerds/geeks but not Trekkies any more. But we are still very much in love. And it gets better every year.

When desegregation school bussing started here years ago, my cousin spoke to her young daughter before the first day of school. She told her that there would be some new kids on her bus who were black, and that she should make sure that they felt welcome. So when her daughter came home from school that day, she asked her how it went. Her daughter was excited to tell her that she had made a new friend. "Is she black?" my cousin asked. Her daughter looked disappointed. "Oh no" she said, "I forgot to ask." If only we were all that colorblind. Thanks for sharing your love story.

Colorblind is false, because if you do not see the color of my beautiful melanated skin, then you do not see me. White people like to say they are colorblind or I do not see color, well, if that is the case...you do not really see me and dismiss who I am as a melanated women by making that statement. I prefer the word melanated opposed to black because black is a color and not my nationality.

Love the story! I met my partner in a hostel lobby in Bangkok (9 years ago) - he was blocking the only electric outlet and I needed to charge my laptop. At that time he was living in San Francisco and I was living in Bulgaria. The "it's meant to be" part comes in here: I was booked to stay in a different hotel but a week prior I got robbed on one of Thailand's islands so I had to replan some of my accommodation. Looking back if I didn't get robbed I would have never met him!

I only lived a couple hours from my then “phone friend”. I caught a bus to meet him the first time. I’m a beautician and before leaving I just COULDN’T get my hair together.

We both loved each other with words unspoken...never were intermit....He joined the Marines since the war in Nam was on. WE each lead 'paralle' lives..........longing/praying for each other...48 yrs later ..after my daughter posted a pic of me on an old channel....and somehow he found me... We had 5 months of taking like the yrs never passed....He was in FL and I had just left FL actually living 15 minutes from him......... I flew down to stay at my daughters, waiting to hear from him when we could meet, after 2 weeks I found out..he had been murdered.........( won't go into details now ) but it devistated me to the core... I'm still able to talk to his mom who is in her 90's and she can't believe he passed in 09..since she had spoken to him the day before being so excieted to 'see' me again....My only consulation was the fact that she said...He's always been happiest when he was with you. Prior to his passing...he told me this one thing......IF I can NEVER be with you 'here' on earth..I promise you..that WE WILL walk hand an hand for 'all' eternity......................that was in 09 and i'm holding him to 'his promise'...my darling JT........... _

I married my best friend 25 years ago. We met at college and were best friends for a year before we dated. We are interfaith and culturally I’m Jewish. He loves my Jewish culture. It was a battle with my family. They said I was watering down my race and letting down all the people who died in the Holocaust. We moved 5 hours away from Philly to give our relationship the best advantage. His family loves my Jewish culture, our language and especially our food. Eventually my family learned to love him. When we married in 1995, interfaith couples were few and far between. But now it is so common. I feel like my struggle paved the way. It was worth the heart ache and tears.
