"So, how did you two meet?"
It's a common question that my then-boyfriend and I were often asked on a big backpacking trip we took in 2008. We were travelling around the world for an entire year on redundancy - one last self-indulgent hurrah before Settling Down, and every time Mark blushed and I told the story, at the end people would say, "Wow!" That it sounded like a book, or a film, or something. That it was a cool story.
