I have a story that’s a bit funny but also shows the hashgacha of Hashem. Someone who lived quite far from me (Canada) was suggested. It was difficult for me to travel then since I ha just started grad school and he also was unable to travel at that time. We never found out info about the other just that distance wouldn’t work then.
Fast forward 2 1/2 years, someone else suggests a Canadian to me. This time we both went for it. When we got engaged, the first person told me that’s who she wanted to set me up with.
