In this era of Match.com and eHarmony, it's not so unusual to have married friends who met online. Couples tie the knot with elaborate in-game weddings. The taste for WoW-themed wedding cakes grows every year. Wedding rings unite lovers in Azeroth and the world at large.

So it's no surprise that 15 Minutes of Fame would eventually roll around to the story of a couple who met and fell in love inside the World of Warcraft. Meet Ghrelsognn and Aleiriella of Defiance on Farstriders-US. Ghrel and Aleir are no starry-eyed youngsters – both in their 40s, they found themselves mesmerized by love when (and where) they least expected it. Join us for the story of their walk up the levels and down the aisle, in their own words, after the break.

Main character Ghrelsognn, Holy Paladin of Defiance on Farstriders-US
Main character Aleiriella, Mage of Defiance on Farstriders-US

15 Minutes of Fame: Two players in different countries with different backgrounds – there was so much space between the two of you when you first met. How did you each come to play WoW?
Ghrelsognn: I started playing in December 2007. I never have played any other MMOs prior to this one; however, I have played all the Warcraft games, Diablo and Starcraft. I started playing 'cause of my brother. I was very hesitant at first, 'cause I knew the game would take up lots of time -- and I wasn't wrong. LOL

Aleiriella: I started playing in December 2007. I enjoyed playing city-building games and puzzle games on my computer. I had heard about WoW, and I was curious about how it would be to play with other people. One day, I went to Best Buy, and I was looking through the games section to see if anything new would catch my eye. There on the shelf, I saw the WoW game. I picked it up and started to read the back of the box. I read about being able to be a Mage and I thought that I would really enjoy that, so I bought the game.

How old are you? What kind of work do you do?
Ghrelsognn: I am 44 years old and work as a systems administrator.

Aleiriella: I am 46 years old. I am currently not employed, but my background is in management.

Let's get right to the juicy part: Tell us how you met in game.
Ghrelsognn: Well, it was a couple of weeks into the game. I was around level 29 and just started questing in Thousand Needles. During one of the long runs back to Freewind Post, I noticed someone being mobbed by a bunch of critters. I threw out a heal and started to help in the fight -- and lo and behold, there was Aleir. She whispered me a thank you and I said "You're welcome." I then asked her if she would like to quest together. We looked at our logs and realized most of our quests were the same. So off we went, zipping through quests, chatting about the game and what we thought of it.

Aleiriella: I think I was about level 25. I was doing some quests in Thousand Needles. I was being ambushed by a bunch of animals, when I noticed that someone was helping me with my battle. I thought that it was so sweet of him to do. I also thought of how much easier the game would be if I had someone who would help me more often. We chatted for a bit about the game and our mutual quests. We agreed that if we ever needed help again we would help each other.

And you so kept finding yourself in the same areas, doing the same quests ...? Or did you take a more active approach to keeping in touch, and do the whole Friends list and keeping in touch thing?
Ghrelsognn: After our first day of questing, I came home the next day, logged on and hoped she would be on. I had so much fun our first time questing. You know how tedious grinding can be, and it was nice to have someone to quest with during the leveling up. Not long after I logged on, Aleir came on. She was in my friends list, so I noticed her. I thought about whispering her and saying hello; however, she beat me to it. And from there we hooked up to quest more in Thousand Needles.

Once again, time went by so fast. We chatted more about each other, what we did in real life and where we were from.

Aleiriella: The next day, I was thinking about how much fun I had with Ghrel and how sweet and helpful he was. I was hoping that he would be on that evening so we could maybe play together again. When I logged on, he was online, so I whispered "Hi, how are you doing?" We chatted about the game and where we lived. I asked him if he was busy and if he wanted to quest together some more. He said yes, and we quested together from that day on. We were always playing together!
