This troper accidentally fell in love with his best friend from 7th grade. It was completely unintentional, and he was just trying to help her put things together. She's nearly 21 now, to this troper's 19, and when she started dropping hints, this troper started blushing like a schoolboy. Just last night, we made it official.

My story's still in the writing well, God's Will and Providence are always best, no matter what form they come in., but best wishes to all of you, no matter what happens!

This troper has no such story to tell (yet?). He just wandered here to get the warm and fuzzies reading this page, and then realized that it had no entries.

Now that's just depressing.

Indeed, because this troper wandered in for the same reason...

This Troper doesn't have any such story to tell either. But she wonders why this list is a bit thin.

This troper was close once, but due to it being a subversion and that he also came in here for the fluffy {{Shipping}} goodness, he'll stay silent.

This troper isn't sure if this counts. It is still worth a shot. This troper's parents met when her mother was 12, her father 16 (he was dating her sister). They became friends, but didn't date or get mushy until her mother was 22. They were married when she was 24, and have been married for over 25 years, without any signs of stopping.

Wow, he broke up with his girlfriend and then married her sister, and nobody got stabbed or anything?

Not everyone's a stab-happy {{Yandere}}.

That and it was just a casual, high school romance in between two people in the same class. My aunt didn't and still doesn't care, she's very happily married to my uncle and my dad avoids her like the plague.

This troper's parents almost fit this perfectly. They met when my mom moved to the same little island as my dad around age ten, and they became close friends (since my dad needed something better to do than getting tortured by his three older brothers). They're happily married now, with two children. However, they didn't begin dating until late in high school - and my mom actually turned my dad down when he asked her to prom, which he is still somewhat sore over (although her reasoning was justified - she already had a boyfriend).

This Troper's aunt and uncle fit this trope so perfectly that even my parents describe their romance as "something out of a movie." They first met in preschool when they were both 4. Went to the same elementary, middle, and high schools, started dated during middle school (throughout elementary and middle school, my aunt was a fat girl who all of the other children (except my uncle) avoided or made fun of. When she matured and slimmed down into a HelloNurse my uncle hit the KarmicJackpot), went to the senior prom together, dated throughout college, and married soon after graduating.

This Troper is uncertain whether 13 counts as childhood enough to qualify him as VictoriousChildhoodFriend, or that 15 qualifies it for her. Nevertheless he adds this note to the TroperTales page so it's a little more hope-building.

This troper's dad met my mom when he was eleven and she 12. They dated when he was 15 (she thought Beyond Their Years}} he was 17), even though they went to different schools. They got married when he was 18 (him overcoming her earlier decision to never marry). It's been 35 years since then, and they're still HappilyMarried.

This troper's parents went to school together, and really only saw each other after that through parties at mutual friends' houses. Her mother was dating another man, and broke it off with him to be with her dad. When said father went away to college without a word, her mother got back together with the other man, and they were soon engaged. At a party the night before the wedding, a friend of her mother's told her there was someone in the kitchen to see her, and it turned out to be her father. The kitchen quickly vacated so that they could talk. According to her mother, her hands began to shake and her knees buckled, but when she told him she was engaged, he said "Congratulations. I hope you are happy." He apparently followed her and her fiance out to the cars, but didn't say a word. Her mother quickly ended the engagement (which she claims would have gone bad anyway), got ahold of her father's address, and they began exchanging letters until her father returned to take her away. After around 12 years together, this troper was born, and they were married two years later. As much BelligerentSexualTension as they had, their marriage is strong, and this troper cannot find a single sign that it is going downhill.

Epic.

This may be the best love story that this troper has ever heard.

This troper and his girlfriend were PlatonicLifePartners from 7th to 12th before moving on to Victorious Childhood Friends a year after graduation.

The case of this troper is a tough one. The exact words in this case is actually ''childhood rivals''. We met in 2nd grade, got in some silly misunderstandings then hated each other (it's hardly a friendly relationship so to speak), then she changed school 1 year later, never met again til both are young adults. Laughed about it as we were both mature then, from then on it's just like a normal couple, nothing special but yeah, that's a case of Victorious Childhood Rival for ya.

Sounds like something out of {{Anime}}

This Troper has known her boyfriend since they were five {they're seventeen now}, and neither of us thought the other liked person liked them until I finally worked up enough courage to ask him what he thought of certain girls at our school. Turns out, he'd liked me for years but because we both enacted suspiciously specific denials, neither of us knew. We've been dating for about a month now and are taking things slow because we have all the time in the world.

This Troper was a little {{squick}}ed on returning to his old school after twenty years and discovering just how many of his old school friends had married one another.

Were you surprised by the specific arrangements?

My best friend and her supposedly platonic male childhood best friend have ''just'' got together. Seven ''years'' of {{UST}}. We threw them a party and whooped and yelled and cheered. They look so damn happy.

When my sister was 7 going to church with my mother Pointed at one of our neighbor's child (a 12 year old boy) and said: "look mom I'm gonna marry him" 9 years latter (my sister was about to be 17) they get married. The best part? my now Brother in law was saying the same exact thing when they where kids going to the church ("Mom I'm gonna marry that girl") Victorious Indeed

This troper's mother has a friend who was this with her husband. It erm... it hasn't worked out well.
