When I look back on meeting Liz, it was one of those strange nights out when you’re really not trying hard to meet someone. Everyone always says that these things happen when you least expect them, but in this case it was strange but true. I was out with an old school friend who I hadn’t seen for a long time, and we were just out having a laugh. Little did I know that’s exactly what Liz was dong that night also! I had arranged to meet some people from the gym I used at the time, as one of the instructors was leaving, and in a coincidence Liz had arranged the same. She had seen me working out in the gym previous to this night, but unfortunately, I don’t remember seeing her before! I was dressed up for a night on the town, but Liz was only out for a few drinks with her old university mate that was staying with her for the weekend. We got chatting at a cash point, where the conversation quickly got onto star signs (something women love to find out very early when they meet new men!) and after I had disclosed I was a Scorpio, I thought I was onto a losing streak straight away!
Eventually we all ended up at a nightclub and Liz and I were looking for the same things at that time in our lives. We had both moved to a town we didn’t want to be in, because of our dads jobs, and we had the same interests and sense of humour. It was a great night, as I had had my fair share of disappointments on nights out and this time I went out with the attitude that I’m going to forget it all, have a laugh and the irony was this time I had met my future wife!
