Is this sentence correct?
I stumbled across something that says:
"It is you that I found my one true love, Jason."
It means "you" made "me" find my love (Jason). Is that grammatically correct? If not, how should I correct it? Please help. Thanks a million!

" It is not correct as it is, although it could be correct as: It is you that I found, my one true love, Jason. But that would mean that Jason is the antecedent for you, not that a third person (you) helped the "I" in the sentence find her true love, Jason.
- " It is not correct as it is, although it could be correct as: It is you that I found, my one true love, Jason.
