Man narrates incredible story of how he met his wife at a stranger’s grave he visited

[Gimbiya]

A man has shared his story on how a series of events led him to start leaving flowers at a stranger’s grave. How he met his wife while praying on that grave on one of such visits…
Twitter user Matt, who goes by the username Sixth Form Poet, was frequenting the graveyard where his father was buried and noticed that the grave next to his dad’s never had any flowers.
Feeling guilty, Matt began to buy flowers for the solitary grave every week for two and a half years when he visited his dad. His dad’s grave, he reported, looked like ‘a solid third place at the Chelsea Flower Show’ meanwhile the neighbouring grave was always barren.
The man who was buried was 37 and died on Christmas day, which made Matt feel even worse about the lack of attention his grave received. ‘It was a little private joke with myself, I was making the world a better place one bunch of flowers at a time’ he wrote.
Feeling a connection with the dead man, Matt then decided to Google the circumstances under which he died. The story then takes a dark turn as Matt finds out that the stranger he had been offering flowers to was actually a murderer.
‘His wife didn’t leave him flowers because he’d murdered her on Christmas day! After he murdered his wife, he murdered her parents too. And after that, he jumped in front of [a] train that Christmas night. ‘That was why no one ever left him flowers. No one except me, of course. I left him flowers. I left him flowers every couple of weeks.’
Matt then explained how he felt bad for the dead man’s wife and parents, but wasn’t going to be able to send them flowers for the next two years to rectify his blunder. Feeling like he owed them an apology, he tracked down where their graves were and decided to visit to say sorry.
‘As I was standing at their graves mumbling apologies, a woman appeared behind me,’ he added. ‘She wanted to know who I was and why I was leaving flowers for her aunt and grandparents. AWKWARD.
‘I explained and she said that’s weird but quite sweet. I said thanks, yes it is a bit weird and oh god I ASKED HER OUT FOR A DRINK.
Incredibly, she said yes. ‘Two years later she said yes again when I asked her to marry me because that is how I met my wife.’ Though the story, while certainly incredible, wowed almost 100,000 users on Twitter, some did express their skepticism at the credibility of it. Matt insists it’s a true story though and went onto explain a further two, equally riveting stories as part of his three-part chronicle.
