Romantic or Funny Story: Elia and I met each other through our fathers. My father and Elia's father have been working together for over 20 years. About 15 years ago, our fathers decided it would be a nice idea for both families to meet and go away on a family vacation, so we did. We went up to the Poconos for a long weekend. That was when we first met. Both families were having dinner and there wasn't any room for one of us at the table, so we both decided to sit on the side keeping each other company. (I like to think of it as our first date together... even though we were very young and didn't realize it until much later.) After that, we were unseperable as friends, later finding out how much we had in common and enjoyed each others companionship. If it weren't for our fathers, we probably wouldn't be together, and I wouldn't be engaged my soulmate.
