ON THE BUSES: A COUPLE OF COUPLES



I have a secret love, of looking at couples and wondering if they “match”.  Do they look as if they are similar? Or, so different that I wonder what attracted them, and does it work.

Often I find that many old couples look alike. You've probably seen it before -- two elderly people walking hand in hand down the street or sitting at a café, resembling each other so strongly that they could be siblings. Do these couples actually look alike, and if so, what's caused them to develop this way?


So I am wondering, do you think you look and or act similar to your partner? Have you had a type when it comes to your partners? Or are you the kind of person who goes for an opposite to balance you? I love know how people got together and what keeps them together. Would love for everyone to share their story! 

1. How did you meet?
2. How long have you been together?
3. Are you alike in either looks or personality?

  1. I like this! I, too, look at couples all the time, and love hearing their stories. Do you follow HONY? (Humans of New York) I love some of the stories Brandon finds behind the people he photographs.

    In answer to your questions:

    1. How did you meet?

    It sounds so cliche, but we met in a bar in London!

    2. How long have you been together?

    12 years (OMG!)

    3. Are you alike in either looks or personality? Looks, we are poles apart, but personality, we are very similar, we hold the same values and ideas about most things.

    What about yourself and your partner Julie?

    2. Hehe, a complete random meet. He Australian (although Mauritian decent), me English. One of the first things he said to me is "where do you think I am from" We've been married 10 yrs next year.

      How did you meet your partner?

  2. We meet when I was in year 12 (I was a few months shy of 17) he had finished school the year beforehand and had just turned 18. We met at my friends 17 birthday party and hit off. A month to the day we meet we meet again and have been together since.

    We've been together 18 years, married 14 of those years.

    We are completely different in looks and personality but I think we o well playing to each other strengths and weaknesses.

    We adore each other.

    1. Love hearing these stories! So was it 'first love' for you both? How amazing to find 'the one" so early.
