How they met: First day of primary school
“When Neville told me...about deciding that I’d be his wife as soon as he saw me, I told him to stop making things up," Candy said. "Then I said, ‘If you knew that then, why didn’t you tell me earlier so I didn’t have to spend years searching for my other half!’”

How they met: The Grand Hyatt Hong Kong
“People can never believe that this wasn’t a setup, as we have so many friends in common,” said Emily. “But we met...during a presentation. What could be more normal than that?” Kent added: “It was kind of extraordinary for me. I was invited to go to the meeting at the last minute and was hesitant because it was my birthday. Luckily I did go, because meeting Emily was the best present of my life.”

“It was unspoken, but there was a connection," Kingston said. After starting as dance partners, their connection blossomed into a nine-year romance that culminated in Kingston's surprise proposal during a performance of Beauty and the Beast in which, of course, Kelly played Belle.

How they met: Myanmar in 2009
Christopher said, “We had a boozy dinner on the beach for New Year’s Eve and I guess I was the last one left, and she pounced.” Victoria's approach was a unique one: “I said, ‘Oh I dropped my earring in the sand. Can you help me find it?’ And then I got him under the dinner table and just kind of went for it.”
