We met at college, while in high school - competing for a scholarship at the college during our final semester in high school. It was February, and the competitors were all out on a sunny plaza by a fountain surrounded by Santa Barbara flowering trees. I picked up a registration packet and noticed that the next one was a duplicate - nope, then I realized that the next person alphabetically just had a really similar name. I found him, and said something like, "I'm Cora, and our names our 75% the same", or something, and we've been sidekicks ever since. We didn't begin dating until after college, but and then didn't get married until after grad school.
