I have no clue about my grandparents, but my parents story is rather unique.
My Moms older sister married my Dads older brother. Through them, my parents met. Dad took one look at Mom and said "that's the one". Mom looked at Dad and said "He's old!" Mom was 17 and Dad 25.
Moms parents are the ones who fell in love with Dad first. They absolutely forced Mom to go out with him. When he proposed, she was still not real pleased about it, but at 18, her parents told her to marry him or else! So she did.
Eventually she fell for his kind ways and teddy bear like spirit. He never lost his adoration of her. They had been married 38 years when he passed away.
