I owe a lot to BOL, the things I learned here helped me throughout my career; however, the biggest gift I have received has been the introduction to the woman who became my wife 10 years ago today. We have had plenty of adventures and memories over those 10 years and I look forward to many more. It was definitely an unconventional way to meet which lead to a 2 year long distance relationship before I convinced her to pack up and move half way across the country. Thanks BOL!

I am not sure if there was actually a pool going around BOL at the time taking bets on how long this would last (we used to joke about this), but if you had less than 10 years you are out of luck. If you had more than 10 years, it's still not looking good for you!

Congrats, unconventional but apparently a perfect match; many many more years of wedded bliss to you.
