No, I have not met anyone in an unusual way. I met my husband at an activity at my school, a fundraiser for the graduation of the seniors of that school year.

My husband and I are students at the same university. It is the first time to meet each other when my friends and his friends went to a trip together. At the trip, I noticed he often stares to me. It is always the remembering time for my life.
