These 6 Surprise-Twist Relationship Stories Will Make You Rethink Your Love Life (3 of 4)

4. The Time Capsule Surprise

On the first anniversary of their relationship, Brianna and Andy made a pact: they would put items in a box that served as meaningful reminders of their first year together, and if they were still together on their fifth anniversary, they would open it up. They asked their mutual friend Angie to keep the box in a secure, hidden place. Four years passed, and they were indeed still together, and their love was stronger than ever. With friends and family members in attendance, the couple opened the box – revealing handwritten love letters, photos, and other things, Brianna discovered a ring with a beautiful diamond. Could it be? Andy had planned this out the whole time, figuring if they were still boyfriend and girlfriend by then, they might as well make it last forever. Of course, Brianna said “yes,” while everybody cheered in celebration.

5. Rediscovering Your Soulmate

Karissa and Tristan dated for a few months in high school, but once they went off to colleges in different cities, they made a mutual decision to break things off. Around fifteen years later, they reconnected through Facebook, with both having been in several long-term relationships but never finding the right one. Although it had been a long time since they had last seen each other, it was as if nothing had changed. Their strong chemistry and mutual interests could not be denied. Amazingly, they even shared the same profession: he was a middle school history teacher while she taught 2nd grade at an elementary school! They decided to give their relationship another chance, proving that time and distance don’t have to be a barrier to love.
