Here's our story (pick a version)

The time: January 2006.
The place: Cornerstone Fellowship Church, Livermore, Calif.
Danielle's status: A fresh transplant from South Dakota, desperate for friends.
Aaron's status: Career focused traveler/super shy around hot chicks

Our story as told by Danielle:
So I walked into this big church in search of a friendly group of people to sit with, praying I’d avoid a scene that had any resemblance to Forrest Gump on the bus. Remember, people kept saying “This seat’s taken,” as the poor kid shuffled down the bus aisle.
OK, so with that embarrassing scene in mind, I spotted a group of guys and girls seated around one of the circular tables with an open seat. I sat down and went around the table to introduce myself. When I got to Aaron, our eyes locked, fireworks sparked and lit up the dim sanctuary. Suddenly, I was in love.
Ha! Yeah right. Stuff like that only happens on the big screen!
Actually, Aaron’s friend John Read and I hit it off and started to hang out as friends. Aaron, on the other hand, having no idea the woman he would one day marry was smiling across the table at him, sat there silent!
It all turned out for the best though, as God’s infinitely good plans tend to do.
John, Aaron, my roommate and I hung out off and on over the next year and a half. We’d all meet up at the movies or a coffee shop, and occasionally drive into San Francisco to walk through downtown or eat at the restaurants that overlook Union Square.
John started to date Aaron’s sister, Jennifer, and we all gradually lost touch for about six months. Until one night I felt a tug to drive to a Bible study that Aaron and John attended at a church about 20 minutes away. I always enjoyed the study and I thought it’d be fun to run into my old friends. When I walked into the church, of course about a half-hour late, I was suddenly so excited to see Aaron again. He later told me he felt that same unexpected spark that night.
A few weeks later, I received a surprising call from Aaron, this kind, gentle-spirited guy I had called my friend for about a year. He asked me for coffee – just us!
And so our adventure began.
Eight months later, he got down on one knee to ask for my hand in marriage. I said yes. And we promised we'd spend the rest of our lives loving each other.

Now, here's the much shorter version as told by Aaron:
I was sitting at church with John as per usual on Tuesday nights not expecting much, when about a half hour into the service a really attractive girl shows up and sits at our table.
I spend the rest of the worship time trying to focus on singing, but it wasn't working out so well. Once it came time for the meet and greet part of the service I was certain that I was going to introduce myself. The moment of truth came and then I remembered just how shy I was. Anyway, John and Danielle hit it off right away and we hung out as a crew several times over the course of the following months. However she lived 45 minutes from me and I was traveling all the time for work so things didn't work out, just yet.
Then in April 2007, Danielle showed up at the church I grew up in for the college and career night. This time it was pretty much like stuff happens on the big screen. Our eyes met across the room and it was like we were the only ones in the room. Just days later we were on our first coffee date. Apparently, it was kinda awkward, but Danielle put up with my terrible shyness and bad conversation skills and the rest is history.
