#1: The First Tweet
Thousands of Twitter users responded to @Coll3enG’s tweet after she shared the fascinating story of how her grandparents met. Her grandma gave her advice on love after Colleen admitted she didn’t have a boyfriend. Colleen’s grandma then shared that she met her husband (Colleen’s grandfather) at a funeral. While this might seem like an unconventional location, it’s not so unusual in a small town, where funerals are often seen as a more social gathering than a solemn occasion. Her grandma went to the funeral with a friend and noticed her future husband, reminding us of how weddings today are often viewed as the perfect opportunity to meet someone special.
As the tweet gained popularity, it sparked an avalanche of similar stories from other users about their own grandparents and parents. Some of the tales were heartwarming, while others were practical, random, or even weird. Nevertheless, the stories prove that finding love in unexpected places and situations is not uncommon, and that true love can bloom anywhere, even at a funeral!
