Meet-cuties

- By TIN SARTORIO

Having friends you’ve grown up with since you were in diapers is cool, but have you ever met someone for the first time and just clicked? Some of our best relationsh­ips start out randomly — while waiting in line for the restroom on a night out, sitting at the back of your new classroom for the semester and, yup, even at a music festival. There’s just something about bonding over the same things that makes it comfortabl­e and real.

Just take it from Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Jeff Ortega. What started out as awkward acquaintan­ces (they met at a party when they were 14 and 15 years old, respective­ly) eventually became a partnershi­p that we all can aspire to. It was at Wanderland Music and Arts Festival 2015 when they bumped into each other again. Augustana was playing onstage, providing the perfect backdrop for their budding romance. Since then, they’ve listened to more live music year after year and building a musicfille­d life with each other.

This is the kind of love we can’t just make up, people. And now, you, too, get a chance to experience the magic with the Wanderlove bundle promo. Just simply show your Globe/ TM-powered phone at any SM Tickets outlets to avail of two regular two-day passes for only P12,000. Nope, it’s not exclusive for couples. You can take your bestest friend in the world and be the best wingwoman ever or even take your cool mom so you can finally bond over PREP. And if you’re feeling really lucky, someone in line at the ticket counter might just be buying a ticket for one so you can just split the promo — no date necessary.
