There was a lengthy article in The Telegraph in the UK on 18th March 2007 about Miroslav Tosic and how he met his wife over a chessboard in a simul.
It's titled " I looked into his eyes and he made his move."

Thanks for posting it John.
You know I have trouble with my links.
Not a euphemism.
Miroslav Tosic played in the same section of the European Championships in 2013 as Adams, Howell and Arkell.

That's all more than good enough for me, Simon.
