We're inviting you on a delightful journey back to the swinging 60s, where love blossomed amidst groovy tunes and iconic landmarks. Join us in reminiscing about how John and Maureen fell in love, all thanks to Facebook—had it existed back then!

A Blast from the Past

It was the summer of 1967, the Summer of Love, and the world was grooving to the timeless tunes of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. John, a young man with a penchant for rock 'n' roll and the latest tech, had just set up his Facebook account. His profile picture featured him in a classic leather jacket, standing next to his beloved Vespa scooter.

Maureen, a vibrant young woman with a love for fashion and music, had also joined Facebook. Her profile picture showed her in a stylish skirt and go-go boots, standing in front of the iconic Haight-Ashbury sign in San Francisco.

The First "Like"

One day, as John was scrolling through his Facebook feed, he stumbled upon a picture of Maureen at a Rolling Stones concert. Captivated by her radiant smile and shared love for rock music, he couldn’t resist and hit the "Like" button. Maureen noticed John's like and decided to check out his profile. She saw a post about him attending a Beatles concert at Shea Stadium and immediately felt a connection.

Virtual Conversations and Shared Interests

John and Maureen began exchanging messages, bonding over their favorite musicians, such as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They shared stories about visiting popular 60s landmarks like Woodstock and the Sunset Strip. John loved Maureen's story about her spontaneous trip to the Monterey Pop Festival, while Maureen adored John's photos from his road trip along Route 66.

Their Facebook chats were filled with references to the latest fashion trends—John’s love for bell-bottoms and Maureen’s collection of psychedelic prints. They even debated the merits of different dance crazes, from the Twist to the Watusi.

The First Face-to-Face Meeting

After weeks of messaging, John and Maureen decided to meet in person. They chose the iconic Central Park in New York City, a favorite spot for musicians and artists. On a sunny afternoon, John waited by the Bethesda Fountain, holding a single daisy. Maureen arrived, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

As they sat on a blanket, sharing a picnic and listening to a portable radio playing "All You Need Is Love," it felt like they had known each other forever. The connection they had online translated effortlessly into real life.

Happily Ever After

Today, John and Maureen are a testament to the power of connection, proving that love can blossom in the most unexpected ways—even through a platform like Facebook, had it existed in the 60s.
