Kristen Bell [1] and Dax Shepard have been an adorable duo for years [2], but believe it or not, things weren't always so sweet between the two. The couple, who tied the knot in 2013 [3] and are parents to daughters Lincoln and Delta, first met in 2007 at a birthday dinner for mutual friends. While you would probably assume it was love at first site based on their chemistry [4], it was actually the opposite. Kristen revealed that their meeting was "not electric," [5] while Dax admitted he was freaked out by Kristen's bubbly personality [6]. "When I met her and her friends, I was suspicious of their unbridled happiness," he previously told Good Housekeeping magazine. "I thought, 'Something stinks here; they're in a cult.'"

But just two weeks later, they ran into each other again while out with friends, and Kristen said "it was on" from that point [7]. "2 weeks later I saw him at a hockey game and he asked for the gum in my mouth," Kristen revealed on Instagram. "I was like HELLO . . . truly, his first text to me was: 'Hi. My name is Dax. I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?' And I thought . . . what the hell? This kid is sassy." Thank God for fate!
