Random Survey of the Day 2 - Fate?

Similar lines - do you believe in Fate? That Fate has a certain destiny in mind for you? Or do you believe we make our own destinies? (or some combination of the two!)

I do. Especially when it comes to DH. It's rather longwinded, but if I can, I'll post the story tonight.

YEY! Do tell! I love stories

When I dropped off my address list to my father in law because he was doing the envelopes for us. He was looking at it and pointed to a name and asked who that person was. I explained to him that it was my mother's uncle (he was married to my grandfather's sister). Well it turns out that my FIL's brother was practically best friends with my uncle (I need to preface that this was on my grandfather's side). And they used to spend alot of time together. Heck, at one point, my uncle sold DH's uncle a portion of his stamp collection. Now, my grandmother has a cousin (whom I've never met), who was best friends with FIL's sister! And my grandmother, grandfather used to hang out alot with with FIL's sister and brother. Once in a while my FIL would also. And they all used to live on the same street and knew eachother.

Fast forward to my cousins wedding (the son of my mother's uncle). I,was at this wedding many years ago. SO WERE MY IL'S AND DH! So, I essentinally met my husband and my In Law's 20 years before DH and I started to date, and we didn't know until FIL told me this story 3 months before our wedding.

So yes, I believe in fate
