This is not a swinging small world story, but one I think worth telling.
Myself and an ex were invited to a wedding in Yorkshire. We lived in Suffolk. The lady getting married was the sister of my best friend from the north east who was marrying a yorkshire guy that worked with my friend up north, a guy I had also got to know quite well and had many a good night out with in a well known north east coastal resort!.
So, wedding reception time and my ex suddenly says, bloody hell, I know that guy over there, another guest!, I went to school with him ( In Suffolk } It turns out they had grown up together and we all thought what a small world it is, but it turned out smaller!.
The groom suddenly appears by our side and says, oh you guys have all met then?, and they promptly annouce they were childhood friends, Bloody hell he says, thats unreal, what a small world, for a moment we thought he was going a little over the top with it, until he announced that her ex school chum was his long lost brother who he was meeting for the first time that day after having been seperated as small children, they had been adopted!.
The strange thing is, when my ex had previously met the groom, about two years before, she had said to me how much he looked like an old school friend!. |
