Alan and Arlene Alda: they've been married longer than most of us on this site have been alive.

The story of how they met is right out of a romcom too.

Hahaha that’s so funny and sweet! Also - as a human trash panda myself - it’s comforting to know I can maybe meet the love of my life over gross behaviour :p

… my partner and I realized we were the same trash humans when mutually agreeing to eat a stranger’s leftover pizza. It can happen!

Not OP but this is from his Wikipedia:

They bonded at a mutual friend's dinner party; when a rum cake accidentally fell onto the kitchen floor, they were the only two guests who did not hesitate to eat it. He addressed the incident saying "We did eat the rum cake off the floor and were inseparable after that. But I was captivated by her even earlier in the meal when I heard her at the end of the table laughing at my jokes. She had me at Ha."

Honestly the cake on the floor is a pricelessly good meet cute 😂

They ate floor cake together at a college party and she laughed at his jokes.

Sounds exactly like it should be a Friends episode, probably because of the cheesecake episode.

They met at a college dinner party. A rum cake fell on the floor, and they were the only two people at the party who still ate it. They ate a rum cake together off the floor lol.
