Real-life Tales of Blessed Marriages?

Assalamu alaikum everyone. I've been reflecting a lot on how we find a spouse these days. Things seem so different now compared to how our parents or grandparents got married, with many alliances being arranged back then. I'm really curious to hear from brothers and sisters who are happily married-the ones who met in a halal way, maybe through family, friends, or even online. How did it all happen? Like, from that first introduction, to getting to know each other in a way that stayed within Islamic bounds, and then telling your parents and making it official? I think these real experiences could be a source of comfort and guidance for many of us who are still praying for a righteous spouse. May Allah put barakah in all good unions and grant each of us a loving partner who is the coolness of our eyes. Ameen. JazakAllah khair.
