My son's greatgrandparents were Lina and Julius.
In 1908 they were both 27 years old and still single.
According to stories told in the family, on this very
day, 103 years ago, two trains set out from
opposite directions to arrive at the same railway station,
more or less at the same time.
Lina came with her father from their town,
and Julius with his father from their town.
They meet in this "neutral" town.
In my imagination all four go first to a restaurant
to eat together, and then - as the impression is that
Lina and Julius like each other - the two fathers
withdraw a little to let the couple find out how
much they like each other.
The result of this meeting:
Half a year later Lina and Julius married.
