My favorite Mysterious Ways stories are love stories. I told my own in the April/May 2013 issue. With billions of people in the world, there’s bound to be a soul mate out there for everyone of us, and I’m always amazed at the unlikely places those matches are made, the unusual circumstances that spark a lifelong bond between two people. It begs the question… is there a matchmaker working behind the scenes?

A story on ESPN.com today might be the most incredible “meet cute” I’ve ever heard, because of where it took place—amid the absolute dreck and savagery of a popular football blog’s comments section.

On ESPN’s Big Ten blog, somewhere amongst the anonymously-authored posts comparing opposing fans to farm animals and bizarre off-topic rants, two random commenters, a boy and a girl, both Michigan football fans, developed a friendship that against all odds developed into real life love.

Bleu_girl_04 and AAWolv had both gone to Michigan for college, but didn’t know each other. She lived in North Carolina, he lived in Ann Arbor. Yet, from the moment they began responding to each other’s comments on the Big Ten blog, they felt a connection.

“She mentioned early on she thought she might marry him and it was WAY different than anyone before,” Bleu_girl’s friend told ESPN.

Indeed, 3 years after responding to each other’s comments on the blog, Bleu_girl_04 and AAWolv, or Kate and Brandon, as they’re known in real life, have tied the knot. (Watch a video of how the blog couple met and married.)

In our February/March 2016 issue, we’ll be introducing a new section to Mysterious Ways… all about how love can enter our lives at the most unexpected moments. What’s your love story? What unusual places have you discovered true love? How did someone you know find their soul mate? What proves the match was meant to be? Share your stories with us!
