No I was stone cold sober when I met my wife. Her sister and brother in law were friends with my late parents. My dad had a massive heart attack whilst attending a function in Cumbria and I rushed from Liverpool to visit him in hospital. I went to the friends house to pick up my mum and the friends sister was in seeing how my dad was doing. We hit it off immediately, soon became an item and 6 months later I moved to Cumbria and we've been together ever since and that was 16 years ago. and my dad? the cantankerous old bastard survived and lived for another 15 years before an even bigger heart attack saw him off.
