MANY WOULD ASSOCIATE becoming a meme as a bit embarrassing. For others, though, it could mean finding your one true love.

Imgur user Stray Bullet uploaded a photo of himself getting care packages while on rotation in Uganda. He quickly became the meme, Ridiculously Happy Marine, because he was just RIDICULOUSLY HAPPY.

hYY8oOj That's right. RHM is hitting stateside. Look for him in your local movie theaters, dive bars and Taco Bells. Oh, Geoff the Giraffe is coming too. WE BE HOMEWARD BOUND! Source: Imgur

He got a load of new fans due to his MASSIVE SMILE.

Most of them, female

Wilfqueen headed back to the image website to tell the tale, finishing up with a photo of the couple, writing:

we fell in love! Real life proof that Imgur love can happen and does exist. I feel so lucky everyday! Big thanks to Imgur and this community for bringing us together. If it wasn’t for you I would have never met the man of my dreams.
