We met playing World of Warcraft.
Incoming spam of WoW related nonsense: I was bored after a raid and hanging around Ironforge and my friend from my old guild asked me to come help him help someone in his guild with a quest in Badlands (the elite red/black dragons in the far east area). So I got on my hunter out to help and the person who needed help was also a hunter. She admired my gear and I told her that she'd one day have similar stuff. That was the first time we met.
Fast forward to long after that on Labor Day of 2006. I'd left the server I was on when the above happened, but signed back on to chat with old friends and the same hunter who I'd helped so long ago sent me a private message asking if I remembered her. We struck up a conversation then and were off to the races. By the end of the day, we'd exchanged IM handles. By the end of the week, phone numbers. By the end of the next week, she came to visit me (she was going to school in Davis and I was in school in San Francisco). After that, we went back and forth by train for about 9 months before she moved in with me in San Francisco. Lived together about a year, then got married in August and moved to Fremont together to be closer to her job.
And voila. How very modern of us.
