How Did You Fall in Love? We Want to Know

Romeo and Juliet had their love story, and Taylor Swift had hers.  

Now we’d like to hear yours! 

How did you and your partner meet? What made you fall in love? 

The Rye Record is seeking stories of love for a special Valentine’s edition of the paper. We are looking for silly stories, touching tales, romantic remembrances, and just plain good yarns. 

Did you connect at school or at work? Was he the cute guy you just had to figure out how to meet? Did you spot her on the subway? Did you hate each other at first? Did you say something stupid on your first date?  

We love these kinds of stories (who doesn’t?) and want to share them with the people of Rye to encourage thoughts of love all around town.  

Please submit your love story (aim for 200-250 words, though less is fine) to [email protected].  

Be sure to include your name and phone number so we can verify each submission. And please send a photo of the happy couple! 

We plan to publish a selection of submissions in our Feb. 7, 2025 issue and online.
