I met my ex-wife because she was stuck in vi (and it wasn't her fault). I was the new sysadmin for her academic dept (in 1993), and she was a new grad student. We had DECstations with keyboards where there was no ESC key, and ESC was mapped to F11. I remember cutting her off mid "i'm in vi, and i.." and said "F11" without looking up. When I looked up, I realized how cute she was, and eventually worked up the courage to ask her out several years later, when I worked in a different department. I also made an FAQ that week pointing out that F11 was ESC :)

I met my fiance the Friday in March, 2020 when the pandemic started.. we were both on a coast to coast flight that got cancelled. I had an airline lounge membership, and I offered to bring her into the lounge where the lines to talk to a human to re-book where shorter than the 200+ person long line in the terminal. We became facetime friends/quarantine buddies (she lives 1000mi from me) and eventually we got engaged last year. When my son graduates from high school, I'll move to be with her.
