At the height of World of Warcraft, a coworker of my mom’s moved from Vancouver to the southern US to live with a guy she had only ever talked to in WoW. Things were not as promised when she got down there. She eventually moved back.
Before WoW I played Ultima Online, and the co-GMs of my UO guild were a couple that had only met online. About 6 months after I started playing, they had an in-game marriage, and then about 6 months later both moved to Las Vegas to buy a house together (I think they’d met in person once by this point). Under a year later, they were married in real life too. Last I heard, they were still together.
If you’re out there Ramirez and Azizza, I hope you’re still happy.
I see your contextless non-sequitur CoD:MW2 campaign reference in a reply-to-a-reply 15 comments down on this thread. I like to think we all have a tiny Keith David sitting on our shoulder, yelling at us to live our dreams.

Post-internet life is a weird place.
RAMIREZ! Go to burger town and meet someone online and then get married in real life! Ramirez, live happily ever after!

I feel so seen!
If I made a few people get minor PTSD from that level and hear his voice in their head for a moment, I’m happy.
