Nah, but I think I get blamed for entirely different reasons. They met at my 21st birthday where I was supposed to introduce her to my boyfriend's older brother except that he didn't turn up so she went for my brother instead. (We are no longer really friends.) Thankfully I can deny all responsibilty for this one, I've no idea where or how they met.

Hmmm, a convenience arrangement? That sounds intriging.

It's not half as intriguing as it sounds - but a little bit messy. My sister had an on-off relationship with this guy, and their kids got on really well, so they decided to move in together so they could afford a real house for them and the kids, instead of the undersized and overpriced apartments both were living in at the time, and after living together for a year or so they still weren't quite sure of how much of a couple they were, but they found out that there would be tax benefits if they were married instead of just living together, so they went into the city hall and had one of these 10-minute things.
