I thought with this one I would find as many stories as I could about how a couple met. I'll work backwards.
Brock and Angie - He was deployed in the Navy to Iloilo, Philippines and used the Tinder dating app while he was there and met Angie.
Brad and Erin - They had a mutual friend and met at a group activity.
Bryce and Alicia - He was her roomate's home teacher in their BYU student ward and were in the same FHE group.
Scott and Bobbi - Scott was a wrestler and I was a wrestlerette at Jordan High School in 1978.
Ray and Maida - from Mom's history: "He had given me a ride home from school in October. I didn't know him, but he lived in Highland Park Ward, too. He had joined the Air Force not long after we moved into the ward, but I do remember him in church when he came home on leave. He would sit on the back row with his uncle, Jay Peterson, who was as dark as Ray was light. (They were married one year later after the ride home.)
Ray and Wanda - from Dad's history: "I am an only child. My parents were divorced when I was an infant. I believe my mother was pregnant before she was married, but she won't talk about it."
Hudson and Maida - from Hudson's audio history: I had an opportunity to go to Daynes-Beebe, it was the big music business in the city. Maida worked there, we worked side by side. She was actually my boss. And we dated. Although not seriously. I remember the first date I took her on. We went to Wandamer, that was where the golf course is now, it is located at 7th East and 27th South [Salt Lake]. They had a lake there and on the lake they had a stage... I took her there and she got out of the car and he stepped in a ditch of running water. Oh, I was embarrassed to death.
Heber Peterson and Lovina Short - "For several years Lovina worked at the Glenwood [Sevier County, Utah] store and then she fell in love with a returned missionary - Heber Peterson." Heber owned a ranch at Grass Valley, a section of country between Glenwood and Fishlake.
Charles Cottrell Jr. and Erminnie Layton - His mission journal begins with leaving his home in Kaysville for the depot and stopping at the home of Mr. Charles Layton (Erminnie's father) and wishing them all goodbye.
John Burt Jr. and Mary Etta Seddon - "Though he was engaged in building railroads, when Father could be in Salt Lake City, he courted a lovely young lady with hazel or dark grey eyes and golden hair. She lived in the 6th Ward - a few blocks away on 3rd West and 6th South St [Salt Lake City] and was employed by the Deseret Book Binding Company."
This was fun exploring. I need to do more and add to this when I can.
