15+ Times the Universe Showed That Some Things Are Meant to Be

We’re surrounded by all sorts of coincidences all the time, but some of them are truly amazing. For example, in a recent viral video, a woman from Ecuador shared how, while looking at her husband’s childhood photos, she suddenly noticed herself in the background of one of them. As it turns out, they’d seen each other 15 years ago, long before they properly met.

We at Now I’ve Seen Everything want to share some more stories that were meant to be.

1. “Both 81 and widowed, my friend’s grandmother just married her prom date after only starting to speak again 64 years later.”

2. “2 very random couples running into each other”

3. “Apparently, my wife and I were always meant to be.”

4. “The ear-shaped handle broke off of my Vincent van Gogh coffee mug.”

7. “While out for my grandmother’s eighty-fifth birthday, we found this lady also celebrating her eighty-fifth.”

“They were born one day apart, grew up in the same city, and had never met.”

8. “My mom in Italy as a child in the same spot that I coincidentally took a photo in”

9. “Saw a metaphor in the parking lot today”

10. “My great-aunt in 1944 and myself in 2013 — both were married in front of the same fireplace, and both were widowed young.”

11. “My friend saw this bag in a store. Below are her dogs.”

12. “I go home to visit Grandma and I am literally wearing the same outfit in her photo of me.”

13. “What are the odds of my brothers and me getting our dad the same Christmas card this year?”

14. “Me at the beach with a sun hat and a beach dress.”

15. “My old tattoo and my new puppy — meant to be.”
