It’s possible that today’s hectic pace of life makes the past seem like a simpler time. At times, it has the air of a more sentimental time period. In the past, our grandparents, parents, and even great-grandparents have all shared touching stories about how they first met and fell in love. When we think about our own “meet-cutes” in the past, we cannot deny that we wished we could share them with our children…. On the other hand, love stories aren’t commonplace in history. All kinds of strange, practical, or just plain weird reasons have been given as to how people first met. The amusing story of how one Twitter user’s grandparents met was the subject of discussion in a thread. In this collection, you’ll find a wide variety of the funniest, strangest, and most outrageous stories.
One of the Tweets That will Stick in People’s Minds Forever:
A person under the handle @Coll3enG on Twitter related the tale of how their grandparents had their initial encounter on the social media platform. It came as a surprise and a thrill when thousands of individuals reacted with anecdotes of their own grandparents and parents. After hearing Colleen respond “No” to her query regarding whether or not she had a partner, her grandma made the decision to offer some guidance to her granddaughter.
According to Colleen’s grandmother, who relayed the story to her granddaughter, she met her husband (Colleen’s grandfather) during a funeral. Colleen’s grandfather was the deceased. It doesn’t make as much sense at first, but when you hear it in the proper setting, it does. Colleen’s grandparents described funerals in Colleen’s hometown as being more of a social gathering than a solemn affair. Her grandma and a friend were keeping an eye out for the man who would eventually become her husband when they were at the burial. It seems as though weddings have evolved into social gatherings where people can make new acquaintances.
