Dad was posted to near mum's village. They met in her local pub on Valentine's day, of all days. He told her a dirty joke! 34 years later they divorced.

About 5 miles, both south London (Balham and Crystal Palace).

I never checked it before but it kinda makes me love them even more.
My parents rocked 👊

Less than a mile away, they attended the same schools but were different years.

Me and my ex, were also less than a mile temporarily. I meet him through his sister, who he lived with for a year. His sister and my dm were friends.

Around 6,000 miles

I love this thread - so many interesting stories. My mum and dad = 4.5 miles. She worked in the post office on the ground floor of the building where my dad worked for a national newspaper but they ended up meeting at my dad’s cousin’s Christmas Eve party.

655 miles.

About 3900 miles.

My parents were both scousers and met on a night out in Birkenhead.
And 9 months later and there I was!

220 miles.

In distance, very close. In terms of background, culture and religion; poles apart.

About 3 miles and a river. Opposite sides of the same city.

3430 miles, although dad born abroad because his dad was in the army. It's made me realise my dad wasn't actually from anywhere, they moved so often

A bit over 500 miles. They met over 2000 miles away

Less than a mile between their homes. They were at the same school, two years apart. They both remember one actual conversation with one another as children in the street as well.

About 150 miles.

Mum and Dad, couple of miles over 50 years wed, me and my husband, couple of miles nearly 35 years wed, daughter and partner, couple of miles, there seems to be a happy trend

Probably around 5 miles. They both grew up there and pretty much never left until my mum was 60 and my dad died there mid 50s (so his whole life).

I’m the opposite. I did go to uni locally, but moved about 3 hours away in early 20s and then moved overseas when I was 30 and have never been back. Dh and I grew up on opposite sides of the world.

Derbyshire & Yorkshire but met in London.

a few miles, same city. My dad was in my mums sisters year at school. But this was the 1960s.
Dh and I grew up only 15 miles apart but as an adult lived 400 miles away for a decade until three months before we met.
