Karen and Juan Martin went to the same university and were only one year apart, but they never met. Juan Martin moved to Texas for a job and Karen to Mexico City. A few years later, Juan Martin moved to Mexico City and was in search of new friends and a place to live. Meanwhile, Karen's friend was married to Juan Martin's friend and suggested that Karen meet with Juan Martin to help acquaint him with the city and maybe find him a room to rent. Karen happened to have a room available to rent in her apartment that she shared with her younger sister and offered it to Juan Martin. The first time they met was when she showed him her apartment. He agreed to rent the room and less than a year and a half later, they were married and moving to Lausanne!
Akane and Mitsuru met in Tokyo and dated for a year, then broke up. Got back together for a year, and broke up. This pattern continued. The last time they broke up, they decided to not marry each other and Akane thought they were over for good. They had been apart for a year and a half since this decision when Akane received a text message from Mitsuru asking her to marry him. She wasn't sure she understood the message so she texted him back to clarify. He clarified, that yes, he wanted to marry her. She responded OK. At the time, the two were living in different cities and Akane was heading on a trip abroad with her mother for one week. It was difficult for Akane to get to Tokyo so, after one more week after her trip, she finally went to see her fiance. It had been 1 year 6 months and 2 weeks until they were back together! Less than 9 months later they were married. They have been married for 1 year and 2 months!
"I Married My Boss" aka Love Letter from Italy
Nicole worked for Exxon with Jonatas in Brazil. She was assigned a project underneath him and soon they became good friends, although they both had already fallen in love, they felt constrained by the work environment to keep it to themselves. She eventually moved into another position underneath a new manager, but in the same department as Jonatas. They continued to be too close to each other at the office to confess their love. Nicole went on vacation to Europe and emailed Jonatas about Italy, a place he loved and often spoke of. He wrote her back an email in Italian and the conversation never ended. A week after her vacation, the two finally declared their love for each other. Two years later, they were married and now live happily ever after in Lausanne.
