I founded a social network website in the late 90ies which was mainly successful in Germany (till Facebook showed up to the party and steamrolled all other sites) but still lives on, albeit tiny nowadays. My now wife was a friend of my ex on that website and asked her if they can play some Mario Kart online. My ex told her that I took the Wii with me during separation, so she messaged me instead and we started playing Mario Kart regularly while cursing each other in Skype.

A while later she needed a place to sleep for a longer visit to my home town, I offered my sofa for that time and during that week we lived together we noticed we're very compatible - rest is history.
