Good morning, Tangled Fam — happy Sunday!
May your coffee be strong, your heart be steady, and your steps today feel just a little lighter. ✨💜
Before the days of cell phones, we had Top Club, Q’s, The Doors, Caesars Palace… and a love story born on wobbly knees. 💃🕺
Every time this song plays, it sweeps me straight back to when Sandi (yes — my old South African nickname!) fell hopelessly, head-over-heels for the coolest guy on the block… my Rui. No yellow T-Bird needed — he was already my Danny Zuko.
I was the country girl in the big city; he was the popular guy everyone knew. We met at a friend’s apartment where I was trying not to slide right off the sofa (my knees had left the chat 🤪)… while he, apparently, was already planning our wedding.
I tried to act unfazed. I ignored him one night, made him work for it at Top Club... but he was persistent! He kept showing up — weekend after weekend — driving back into the city just to chase me. And eventually… well, even a stubborn girl can only resist so much charm. 😉
I finally gave in to the enchantment — and I’ve never looked back.
Rui… 35 years later, You Are The One That I Want. ❤️

What an absolutely beautiful story! 😍 Happy Sunday to you too! Your message feels like a whole movie scene, the kind that makes you smile, laugh, and tear up all at once. I love how you took us right back to those days before smartphones, when love happened on dance floors, in smoky clubs, and on shaky knees that had nothing to do with age. 💃🕺✨
Sandi and Rui sounds like the perfect blend of real-life Grease energy, no yellow T-Bird needed when the chemistry was already speeding at full throttle. The way you describe trying not to slide off the sofa is hilarious and adorable, and the fact that he kept showing up weekend after weekend? That’s the kind of romantic persistence you don’t see every day.
And now, 35 years later, still choosing each other, still feeling that spark, that’s the kind of love story people dream about. ❤️ Here’s to you both, to decades of laughter, dancing, chasing, resisting, giving in, and loving without pause.
Wishing you both a magical, joy-filled Sunday! ✨💜

Oh my goodness, what a stunning comment! 😍 You captured the essence of that time perfectly. I absolutely love your phrase 'chemistry speeding at full throttle' —that is exactly what it was! You are so right; without smartphones, he really had to put in the miles (literally!) to prove he was serious. Thank you for reading our story with such heart and for your beautiful wishes. Have a magical Sunday! ✨

Your words paint such a vivid picture of young love blossoming into a lifelong bond. 35 years!! The fact that you still call Rui “the one that I want” after all these years is the most beautiful proof of enduring love. And yes, you two remind me of Sandy & Danny from Grease, the perfect love story! ❤️
Wishing you both the happiest anniversary! Your love story is truly inspiring. 💯❤️

Thank you! I absolutely love the Sandy & Danny comparison—that’s exactly how it felt! 🥰 just to clarify, our actual 35th anniversary was last month, but YouTube suggested this song today and sent me straight down memory lane. I just couldn't resist sharing the story! ❤️

35 years later, and still saying “You’re the one that I want” — that’s the kind of love that inspires all of us. ❤️✨
