On the beach in Thailand. I was living on Tonsai for the winter rock climbing season. She came out to do the same about a month after me, arriving on New Years day. I struck up a conversation and we sat on a log and watched the sunset. A couple months later, I abandoned my idea of working North through China and instead followed her to Australia where we bought a cheap van and spent another month or so surfing. Eventually I followed her home and we've been together ever since. Every New Years, we make a point of ending up on a West-facing beach to watch the sunset together. On the 10th anniversary of meeting, we flew ourselves, our kids, and as many of our friends as we could convince back to that same beach and got married as the sun set. A bit sappy, I know. But feel free to appropriate it if you and your spouse ever need a better story.
