Some people believe that if something is meant to happen, the universe will align to make it come true. Call it destiny or serendipity, but there’s something to be said about how sometimes the world moves in mysterious ways.

Some coincidences are easy to brush off as purely accidental, but others are too uncanny to be considered normal happenstance. Bright Side has rounded up these photos that might just prove how some events have already been written in the stars.

1. “My great-aunt in 1944 and myself in 2013 — both were married in front of the same fireplace, and both were widowed young.”
