That night I was helping a buddy at the race track with his wing sprint car.

I was running a little behind so I met them at the race track in which little did I know how that night was going to end. There was a girl there with my buddy's wife and I introduced myself as I’m elbows deep in grease from getting the car ready. After an ok night at the races and we’re getting ready to leave the track and I asked her if she wanted to ride back with me so it wasn’t so cramped in the truck. She agreed and I’m thinking this is going to be a quiet 2-hour ride home but she and I clicked like I've never clicked with anyone and the ride home was more than enjoyable.
The conversations and laughs were amazing. Its been almost 2 years since that night and it’s still just like the night we met, just as amazing. Now we race together and I couldn’t be happier.

Thanks for an awesome gift. She loved it!! September 2nd, 2017 at 7:30 pm is when the races started.

A story by Bruno V.M at Lima, Perú on the 13th of December, 2017, at 6:30pm

My special moment as many others, is absolutely amazing.

I was in love since February. I found the love of my life. Her name is Diana and I feel the more contagious and bigger love ever seen for her. The 13th of December, she came with me to a restaurant in Perú called Kasamama because my birthday is on the 16th of December and I wanted to reserve a table for all my closest friends. That day, she was extremely beautiful and I just wanted to go for away with her.
When we were walking in the streets, I finally kissed her, the most amazing kiss you have ever seen or felt. Since that moment, we knew that our love is forever and with no bounds.
I love my queen and I appreciate a lot the frame you gave to us because we could travel to that date and remembered that moment.

My husband and I are history lovers.
We both had relatives who were in the civil war. We love the history of Gettysburg. We decided to get married on the battlefield at a wonderful Bed & Breakfast in civil war attire. I love the star map!
It hangs in between the two mannequins that are dressed in the outfits we wore that day.

A story by Jeremiah at 93155 Hemau, Germany on the 4th of January, 2017, at 7:45pm

On a whim, I decided to check out the local gym in this small town of Hemau, Germany.
I drove past this little gym every day on my way to work. I was working for the U.S. Army and I thought "why not try a local gym - I know my German needs some help but why not try".
With luck, the owner of the gym spoke English very well and before I left, I joined the gym. My birthday came around and I decided to hit the gym that night... Little to my knowledge would I know a young beautiful German girl would be working that night (4 January). I thought what the heck... ask her out. So I did and by the luck of the stars, she said yes!
Two years and four months later we married and have our first child on the way. Thank you "Under Lucky Stars" for providing us this beautiful memory of our life, which now hangs on our living room wall.

A story by William B at Mt Airy, MD 21771, USA on the 10th of January, 2016, at 3:51am

January 10, 2016 was one of the most special and important days of my life.

It was a cold January night as the time rolled over to midnight on January 10th. My girlfriend and I had just been seeing each other casually at the time, and she and a friend wanted to go out late for some food. Being a college student, I couldn’t pass down the opportunity for some late-night fun and food. So the three of us went out and had a great time out together as well as a nice meal. The minutes turned to hours and before we knew it, it was early in the morning, around 2 AM.
So we left to take her friend back home, and after dropping her off we went back to her house to drop her off. We then had the longest talk I’ve ever had in the car, it must have been over an hour of us talking about our lives and where we thought we were headed together. That was the moment we decided that we really wanted to be together, and at 3:51 AM we kissed under our lucky stars.

I’ll never forget that moment, or the things that came afterwards during our three-and-a-half years together.

My older sister who has been my rock, best friend and role model brought her first child, my nephew, into the world on this day.
This was the greatest gift to give my sister to celebrate her first mother’s day with her sweet baby boy by her side.
Thank you Under Lucky Stars!

Lucky Penny

March 25 2019 – Another day in Paradise

I was excited for drill because I knew I'd see her, and dreading it because it was drill. Already finding myself attracted to her, I made sure that I would be working out at the same place that she told her section (yup! The power of eavesdropping can "coincidentally place you in the same place with a woman you got your eyes on). So, there I was, at the same gym and then I see her, right at the center of the room perched up in an elliptical machine with her long hair perfectly tied in a ponytail and with those glorious black yoga pants on. I went to the right side of the room to get a better view with no intention of speaking to her since I was nervous. I watched her out of my peripheral vision and I mustered enough courage to start a small dialogue with her about her line of work, and I vividly remember getting a bit annoyed when another co-worker walked up to her and pulled her hair in a playful manner. It bothered me because I couldn't do the same, and in my head I wanted to be in that same level with her. This happened for a few more days, and I had to fight myself to say something because it was really starting to get to me.

March 28- Now or Never:

So, during lunch I made a decision to give it a shot, and let my heart feel the rush of asking someone out again. If she turned me down then I'll have to deal with it. So I make a B line to her office, but she wasn't there yet. I saw a penny on the floor which I ignored and left alone. So, I stalled and walked the halls for a bit to calm my nerves before I go in make my move. My scapegoat was the dang lucky penny if she turned me down.

1238- The Point of No Return:

I calmly waltzed in to her office with a silly grin that could light up a room full of sexually frustrated nuns. I figure it was safe to start by asking about her work week and kids to kind of feel out if her schedule allows for a night out. She mentioned that her kids are out of the house and that her schedule is fairly open. I took the leap and asked her out for dinner, and to my surprise she reluctantly said yes. The conversation was quite comical because it became awkward more so for her. It was very obvious that I caught her off guard and I can see her processing what just took place as she shuffles around a bit between her phone and papers. Then the cutest thing happened when she pointed out for me to get the penny because it could be lucky!
I go home that evening and tell Konah and my roomies that I have a date with this really attractive woman from work on Saturday. 2 days before, 2!! I start laying out clothes to wear, and I was asking people for advice. I did the whole shebang! I used a lent roller, checked for tears, washed and lent rolled again, and carefully hung the outfit I selected for "The Day".

A story by Vernon M at Tampa, FL, USA on the 14th of February, 2018, at 7:00pm

Well about a month before this special moment happened, I came in contact with this girl (Sam).

Now, I didn’t expect to befriend her or start to like her for more than a friend but as the time went by we quickly became close, we talk every day and all day about our future or what’s going on in our lives right now and it was crazy cause I felt like I could be myself around her and I was able to open up to her about any- and everything.
So it’s now February and it’s about a couple of days away from Valentine’s Day and we’re talking about how we’re spending it and if we got each other anything. I wasn’t expecting anything because we just met. But as the saying goes, expect the unexpected. She made me Valentine’s gift. I never ask or expect anyone to get me any gift for any holiday or special occasion but she did. A person that I just met so as that happened she invited me to come to hang out with her and her friends on Valentine’s Day and of course I agree cause this would’ve been the first time we see each other in person and I’d finally get to meet this wonderful person I’ve been talking to for a month.
So the day comes I’m rushing out of school to change to go meet her and of course I didn’t get her anything, so I had to improvise or last minute gift shop, so I picked up a couple of things she told me she liked and then I drove over to Tampa to meet her and her friends...
I made it to Tampa a little early so I sat at a gas station trying to calm myself and get myself right cause even though we talked and got close in the last month, I was still nervous to meet her in person.
When I finally calmed down I met her and her friends at the fair we hugged and exchanged gifts and went into the fair and enjoyed each other’s company.
It was kind of a really great moment to meet someone that kept a smile on my face without even seeing me or me seeing them.

I met this girl on Bumble last December 28, 2019.
We talk and chat every day to the point that our feelings developed over time. It was a crazy step for me to book a flight from Germany to the Philippines in order to meet her. On that date (February 22, 2019) I arrived in Manila and it's for the first time we met personally.
It was full of emotions that you can finally hold her in real time. :)
