Sometimes, things align so perfectly in life, it feels as though they were meant to be. This is especially common for two people who are in love. Looking back, it can be easy to notice small moments and coincidences that eventually brought a couple together. Still, the chances of this couple discovering a connection through a ripped dollar bill feels especially slim — and that’s what makes it all the more astounding.

It all starts in 2013. While in the parking lot of her workplace in Tempe, Arizona, she notices something. It’s a dollar bill, which might not seem like much, but it’s ripped at the corner. In that moment, she decides to keep it for “good luck.”

Fast forward to five years later: This woman and man are engaged. But it isn’t until they’re at the courthouse for their marriage license when the woman notices he has a ripped dollar bill in his wallet. But it’s not just any dollar bill — it’s clearly the piece missing from the one she kept.

“I carried my portion of the dollar bill wrapped around my bouquet when we got married a few months later,” the woman shares.
