    Made me laugh because I met my husband in XI a good few years ago now (only got round to marrying this year) and didn't realize we had to flog our story to the papers - hence the "believed to only be the second couple in the UK to meet this way" line was cracking me up.

    Damn tarutarus better GTFO my paper! It'll have bloody page three Galka next!

    I met my partner via FFXI as well and I could name half a dozen UK couples that met in FFXI from just people that I have been in same linkshells with. Need to remember it's the Daily Mail and they're a bit special sometimes. At least it's a cute article and not the usual "omfg look at these sad bastards on the interwebs" spin.

    I like how they made SURE they pointed out how they didn't have an affair.

    I like how they probably did have affairs, the others just didn't find out because it's online.

    I'm getting married in January to Kingawesome (we both play traps!) who I met in game and live in the UK. Maybe I can flog my story to the paper!

    You should, flog it to the Sun and let them twist your trapness into a sordid story of e-transvestites.

    ‘One day, when as Andurus he endangered his own character in the game to save me, I felt an incredible bond between us.
    So that's how it's done huh.

    The first linkshell I was in had 4-5 couples meet in FF11 and get married in real life, including myself and my husband. Since then I've known another 3-4 couples from other shells to do the same. I don't understand why this is newsworthy!
