Sounds kind of like my parents. My mom was supposed to be at her BFF's house to spend the night. They went to a USO dance at Ft. MacPherson in Atlanta, GA. My mom and her friend had the same color hair and style. My dad came up behind my mom and put his hands over her eyes. She spun and slapped him and he told her he thought she was Beverly. They talked all night at when she was leaving he asked her to marry him. She said yes and they eloped. They were together until her death at 36.

Poor girl he took to the dance, you know how sad you would feel if the dude who took you to a dance wanted to walk a different person home and then ended up getting engaged with that person? :/

My wife and I met in the late 90s on an "adult" website. We saw each other naked before anything else. Apparently she had been getting a lot of emails from men asking if she would take videos of her eating and send it to them so she stated no weirdos and had a short rant which I found hilarious. I sent her a message with a funny joke. She took a chance, been together for 18 years now.

well, you can't really "steal" a person unless we're talking about kidnapping.
