The Top Ten Unexpected Places You Found Love

I really like this Top Ten, not because it was LOL funny, but because it tells you that love comes from out of nowhere. Some expected, many other from the most unexpected places.  I found love in a health resort at the time when I finally gave up and just put my happiness in the hands of fate, happiness that may or may not include romantic love. And it was then that love came knocking on my door.  And stayed.  Nuff said.
