This is really not a GQish kind of question so I’m going to take my chances and put it here. Mods move if you must. When I see dopers getting married or engaged (seems every week lately) is it mainly because they hooked up via SDMB or one doper encouraged their SO to join? Just curious. ---

Sigh… amny = many. If a mod would be so kind as to lend a hand to a dyslexic doper and correct the title I would be grateful. ---

By no means complete, but just to get it started: Done: • **m** (gah! I can’t remember either one of their names - they haven’t posted in a bit) and **s** , the Swedish gal. • **Shayna** and **Spiny Norman** • **Sealemon** and **Bubbe Girl** (they may have met somewhere else) Intended: • **Geobabe** and **UncleBill** • **Mr. Cynical** and **Miss Creant** • **racinchikki** and **Gunslinger** There are plenty of already married when they got here couples as well as one couple that both posted and have gone asunder since. ---

didn’t **Airman Doors & Ms Robyn** just get hitched, too? and we don’t even talk about my first seven marriages. Doomed, doomed I say. They insisted on cross posting in the wrong forums. ---

I think an English guy hooked up with a Canadian woman…RickQ and Bryander (sorry if the names aren’t quite correct). They’re married or due soon…I think ? ---

**RickQ** and **Brynda**. I think she’s of US nationality rather than Canadian. I think **thatdarncat** and **moi** are married or thereabouts. ---

**that darn cat** and **moi** are indeed married; they recently posted a link to their wedding pix here. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe they met on the boards. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-many-sdmb-hookups-led-to-marriage/111679.md?page=2)
