I met my fiancé unintentionally on LinkedIn. She reached out as recruiter to try and get in touch with HR at my company and we both had gone to the same university at the same time. She also included a link to her music in case I was interested.

I responded saying I had no idea how to help her as a software engineer but that I was surprised we hadn’t crossed paths. I said that I too was a musician and shared a link to some recording I made.

We started emailing due to mutual interest in concerts and our social meetup turned into a date.

It wasn’t intentional but it worked out :)

I like to think that she didn't go to your university, only added her music after reading your profile, and is currently playing the long game - what better way to network with your colleagues, than a wedding?

(or congratulations)

Glad to hear your story.

I'm on the same boat nowadays :)
