My Grandparents met in the 50s, at a dance they both attended for the first time. My grandmother, a small shy woman was approached by my grandfather, and equally shy man. On this occasion he was full of confidence. "Would you like a dance?" he asked, to which she happily replied "yes, of course I would!" She stood up, held his hand to go dance when he saw her closer and all of a sudden looked disappointed. "Oh" he said, "I thought you were another girl. I forgot to bring my glasses with me, and I thought I was asking someone else. Never mind, you'll do." My grandmother laughed it off, and danced with him anyway. After the dance, he thanked her and they sat down on either side of the room with the boys and girls respectively. Later in the night, my grandfather plucked up more courage, and once more approached my grandmother for another dance. "Can I have this dance?" he asked, to which she replied positively, and stood up to go for a dance. He took another good look at her and said "Ah. Wrong girl again. I thought you were the other girl I was looking for. Ah well, I suppose you'll do. We can have another dance".

They've been married for 51 years.
