    I met her in high school. Didn't ask her out until I graduated. Joined the military and was away for about 10 years. When I came home she was still single. Started dating again and eventually married her. Happy ever since.

    I actually had known him for a bit before he asked me out, we were in the same Psychology class and sat next to each other. funny thing is, we're both a bit crazy. :p the 15th of december will make it 1 year of being together. <3

    we met in our sophomore year of high school, when a seating chart required us to sit together. we were both in relationships at the time. fast forward to senior year, we're both single. we started talking again after I blatantly checked him out at an assembly (hahah :wink: ) & realized that we had both been in similarly bad relationships and that our personalities are a perfect match! now we're been together for almost a year :)

    My friend set me up with her friend after i got out of a terrible relationship...and I have been with my wife for almost 12 years and married to her for 10 years. I guess she was a good match maker.lol

    I had met him previously at a mutual friend's party, but he had a girlfriend at the time and I was in college and didn't live in the area so I never gave him a second glance after the initial, Hmmm...he's kinda cute. After I graduated, I moved back home and went to another party at this same friend's house where it came up in conversation that he had broken up with his girlfriend and would be coming over that night. So, seeing as I was single and hadn't been involved with anyone in years b/c of school, I vowed that I would make out with him that night b/c Why not?!? I had nothing to loose! So, a few hours and a couple of apple pie moonshine shots later, I made my move...4 1/2 yrs later (and less than 2 months ago), we were married on an enchanted fall evening at the same location where the rowboat scene from the movie The Notebook was filmed :)

    I met mine at the Kroger deli when I got my first job during college. I thought he was so fine but I was already in a relationship with another.... when he first spoke to me I thought he was gay, seriously, I was like thank god i dnt have to worry about him checking me out and hitting on me! then he began hitting on me n we had that awkward conversation... he gave me some info when I was having problems with the other guy and we broke up the next week. I ddnt no what to do so I asked Joey (current SO) to a movie... Lame I know the grl asking the guy... He is 7 years older than me which my parents hate! but I just love every bit of him.... I was going to say inch of him but thought ppl would take that the wrong way... hahahaha just had to share that but yea we have been together 2 years last october

    I love reading these! We met at my cousin's party. I loved his lip piercings and the way he looked into my eyes the entire time he talked to me. He didn't do the awkward "look at her eyes-look at her boobs-look back at her eyes" thing that most teenage boys do, haha. It will be three years this summer!

    My husband was a security guard for the fairgrounds & I went to the car races they had there. A friend of mine introduced me to him & he soon turned out to be the reason that I went to the races on the weekends. I spent all of my time with him & never saw any of the races for that entire season. Turns out that we had a college class together the previous year, but had never talked. I soon started spending every weekend with him at his security sites, until his boss finally said to me "that if I was going to be out here on the weekends I might as well be getting paid for it" & hired me. Next June we will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary!!!

    Some goofball sat behind me in our high school advanced bio class. We somehow ended up as really close friends and then realized that our friendship was actually more like a partnership which was actually more like a RELATIONSHIP. So technically...he's been mine from the very beginning! :laugh:

    I was in a bad mood and got dragged out to a bar wearing sweatpants and an old tshirt---a friend introduced us that night. We went on a date the next day and have been together ever since <3--getting married in less than 7 months!
    Sounds like my wife and I. She was having a horrible day (Got laid-off from a job) and her friends took her out for drinks to try and cheer her up. Then, to make matters worse, some guy insulted her by asking if she was a librarian or something because she was wearing glasses. So her friends grabbed her and dragged her to the bar for shots before she ripped the guys lungs out with a rusty spoon. I happened to be sitting there when they all walked up so I said "Hi" because I thought she was attractive. Her first words to me.."Hi, I'm Melanie and evidently I'm a f**king librarian...". We've been together now almost 17 years.
    very nice I love sarcasm

    My story is somewhat unique.
    My mom invited him to a bbq because she had been trying to set us up. He was her mechanic. He came and we didn't really know what to say to eachother. Of course it didn't help that my stepdad got tipsy and kept saying " look at all this land you could have if you marry her!"( we had 5 acres).
    Anyway, we stayed up talking for hours, and then he went home. We saw eachother a couple times after that.

    This is where it gets unique....

    He called me one day, and said he had an accident and was staying with his ex- girlfriend because he had nowhere to go. What kind of accident? He cut his knee with a CHAINSAW. He lived in a stilt house, and couldn't make it up the steps with his leg in a brace.I brought him home like a wounded puppy and nursed him back to health, and I think he even gained 10 pounds from my cooking! We've been inseparable ever since. We celebrated our third wedding anniversary in november and have a beautiful baby boy.

    met in 3rd grade. She thought I was a dumb jock through elementary, middle and highschool, until I stepped into her honor classes. Been together for about 19 years. 9 of which has been married years. The rest as you say is history...

    My date for fourth of July, 1994 canceled on me. I was at work and needed a date quick. There was a guy that I talked to occasionally but I didn't know his name. Asked my friends his name, then went and asked him out. We just celebrated 15 years of marriage!

    Online.... turns out he worked literally across the street from my office in the city - I always wonder, if not for the net, would our paths ever have crossed? We ended up having other unusual things in common. We're happily married now :)

    World of Warcraft. True story.

    Awesome! :)

    I met my husband on a dating website but met him in RL that same day. We stayed up for like 3 nights talking and by the end on the week we were engaged. LOL We married about a year later and we will be celebrating our 11th anniversary in January. If its right, its right :)
