Six Degrees or Less -Finally My Cute Story

I am a bit of a sap when it comes to matters of the heart. I remember crying during Fox and the Hound (my dad couldn't make heads or tails as why I was sobbing after leaving the theatre). And, I am pretty sure, I cried at the end of Sixteen Candles. So, many times, sisters have revealed their stories of how they met their hubbies. I call these "cute stories." One sister told me that her husband had been a constant admirer from across the train tracks during the morning commute. One day, he walked up and handed her a piece of paper with the name and number of a muslim sister (my friend wasn't muslim at the time.) She called the number. The sister gave her dawah, she accepted islam and immediatly had a proposal for marriage, her admirer. Awww! So, I have mentally collected many sister's stories, but wondered about my own, did I have one? I saw my and my husband's union rather ordinary. Until last Spring, I had my ah ha moment. So here it goes, try and keep up.
My father's best friend Chuck, wife's half sister's step-son was married to my husband's ex-wife's ex-husband's older sister . . . Got it. How cute!

Haha, I don't know what's cuter : the fact that the story confuses all of us, or the fact that it makes so much sense to you ;-)

Masha'allah sis, it just reminds us that our lives were written down long before us, in a tablet whose ink has dried, subhanAllah. All by the Perfect Will of Allah.

I *love* your blog! I can't wait to sit down and read it all : ) Take care sis and I look forward to keeping in touch insha'allah.

Wasalaam

As Salaamu Alaikum,
Yes, I know it is confusing and every once and while, my husband asks me to repeat it's (isnad) so he can get it right himself. To make the story even more of a tangle - the couple that introduced us, well his younger brother was the one married to my husband's ex-wife and they even had their place in the web. Masha'Allah
Enjoy reading
