 So anyone met there wife/husband over a Bulletin Board System?

 This is true.

 Having bought an Amiga I loaned my trusty C128 machine to a woman friend I was
somewhat involved with. She was stuck in the house a lot and couldn't get out
so she needed some way to meet people and the BB's seemed a good way to do
that.

 While on a system she met this guy. One thing led to another. E-Mail became
phone calls (which was expensive since he lived 2000 miles away), they had a
visit and were soon after, married. She then moved back with him to Canada
where they are happily married, have a new baby and are still paying off the
phone and Email bills.....

 The C128? It was their wedding present.
