We met on League, now we're engaged!

Hi guys. I had originally posted this in a LoL FB group, but someone suggested I should post it on the boards so...why not?

A few days ago, my boyfriend proposed to me. (Well, I guess he's my fiance now.) We met on League of Legends and became very close friends, and years later we ended up in a long distance relationship. I wanted to thank Riot for this, so I sent them an e-mail, but I might as well post it on here, maybe it'll be easier for someone from Riot to read this.

(Here are some pictures of us together, btw: http://imgur.com/a/c1x5o)

"Hey Riot. I wasn't sure where to send this, so I hope this goes through.

My name is Vanessa, and I wanted to take some time to thank you for helping me meet the love of my life. (Wow, that sounds cheesy.) I met my fiance on LoL around four years ago, we instantly clicked and became close friends for a very long time. We eventually started dating and went into a long distance relationship. A couple days ago he proposed to me.

We were able to bond and become closer because of League, and we really can't thank you enough. The odds of us meeting were one in a million, and the fact I was able to find him through something we both love is a miracle for me. LoL was just one of the games that helped nurture and make our relationship closer throughout the long distance period. When he was stationed in Turkey and I was still in the states, playing games together made us closer and it made me feel like he wasn't so far away. There have been many fun and hilarious moments playing bot lane together, and they are probably my fondest memories with him.

Again, I just wanted to thank you. I was able to find someone that was my other half, someone who understood me for who I was, and someone who loved video games like myself.

I hope I can make someone reading this happy, because we certainly are.

Thanks again,

Vanessa (Nehssa)"

The League of Legends Community is making me feel so many things ;--; Congrats you two! Maybe we can do a Debonair skin comp or something? :3

Congratulations though! :D

I am in the same boat too. My duo partner for 8 months became my best friend last October, than my boyfriend last Christmas.

The thing that depresses me though is that I might lose him. He hates LoL now because he believes now that he will never get back to platinum and will just demote himself to Bronze. I love him, but League is literally my life. I have no other hobbies. I tried other videogames but got bored quick. Tried WoW with my bf, which is what he purely plays now, but I am already bored of it. League is what bound us, but now it might tear us apart.

I can only say congratulations. My wife is not into videogames at all so I can't share that hobby with her, but it's also cool, so congrats, Nehssa! My best wishes to you both!
