    Aww, what a cute thread!

    I met my SO a month into college during our photography class after a friend told him that I was into fencing. He is a fight choreographer and he thought we could teach each other stuff.

    We were both very open and *ahem* firmly believed in free love, so we were just 'friends' for a few months. I honest to God didn't believe in the institution of dating or marriage.

    We wouldn't have seen much of each other unless his car hadn't broken down and I had to drive him to school every day. It was just more convenient for us for him to stay over frequently, and then eventually move in. (It took about 6 months to get this old 1980s van completely fixed).

    I still say that he 'tricked' me into dating him. :tongue: He forced me to spend time with him and actually open up to somebody. Then, four months into dating, he got me pregnant (I say 'got me' but it really was a blameless thing - I was on the freaking pill for heavens sake). We agreed that having a baby was the stupidest reason to get married, so we are just kind of seeing where life takes us. We love each other, and we love our son - and thats good enough for us!

    I met my other half while walking to the liquor store with my best friend on a Friday night and he was driving in his car with his friend. His friend wanted to rap to me but my other half cut his thoat and got my number instead. From there we started talking on the phone and hanging out. Almost 12 years later we have a son together and still going strong....the end... :happy:

    He and his family started going to the same church as me and my family. I was 12 and he 13 at the time. We started dating in High School and now we have been married for 4 years and have a 3 year old daughter. We dated 5 years before we got married, so technically we have been together for 9 years. My husband jokingly says " it has been a long long long long long looooooong time!!" lol Anyway I never dreamed I would end up with him because he was the dorkiest guy I had ever met but now I can't imagine being with anyone but him!! :blushing: ( I know....korny with a K!!!)

    We met through his cousin Beth, whom I had been friends with for about 8 years....but I had never met any of her family so I knew nothing about him. He saw my pic and asked who I was, she told me about it.....a few weeks later we met and the rest is history.

    We met at a bar... Fast forward a week or two, when a mutual friend called and asked me that if he called me would I go out with him. I said ok, and we've been inseperable since :heart:

    Our parents were best friends through high school and after...His nana used to babysit me when I was about 3 and he was 2. He used to bite me and I hated him. Went through school together as mostly acquaintances, really. I went away to college, then came back...and we were both coaching, started dating, got married. The End.

    We met in 4th grade, became friends in high school, started dating in college, and got married 7 months ago! Our entire dating relationship was long distance, which was ironic since we saw each other practically every day for nine years in school. It's been quite the journey, lol. And I'm with you, laughingdani - if you had told me in junior high I'd marry this guy, I'd laugh because he was a total dork. =D (Now I love his dorkiness. We're dorks together.)

    In 4th grade! Our tiny school districts consolidated and he was from "the other town." Our teacher had us make ceramic whales and asked that we carve our initials into the belly before firing. I realized that we had the exact same initials and immediately started finding everything out about him that I could!

    We pretty much were in constant competition with each other in elementary school, then our lockers ended up next to each other in high school (I love alphabetical order), we became best friends, but planned to part ways after high school and go to different colleges. At the last minute, we both made other plans and ended up going to the same university! 3 weeks into our freshman year, we went on a trial date (mostly b/c everyone said it was silly we had never dated), and have been together ever since! :heart:

    oh perhaps I should clarify... he had to join the cult to marry me...then I quit the cult when I realized it was one...no cult anyone would probably know by name... maybe it wasn't a cult, who knows...looked like one as I look back.

    I wouldn't recommend joining a cult for a man..... they are just as whacked there as some are out here in life.
