My old guild leader on The Purple Dragon MUD did the same :)
My own story is similar, though it wasn't a MUD. I think it's pretty beautiful to fall in love with someone via a text-based view of their personality. In the world of Match and OKCupid I love to just tell people "we met online", mainly because it annoys my fiancee.
I've dated a couple people I met in MUDs, but the person I ended up marrying I met through an IRL friend. I get where you're coming from, but I always felt that the text medium was a limitation that resulted in those relationships failing.
