Where did you meet...?

My fiance and I met while in the military! Aaron and I met almost three years ago while stationed at Training Center Cape May in New Jersey. Aaron was a firefighter with the Coast Guard and I worked with the recruits that are in training at boot camp.
It was the worst snow storm Cape May had seen in a very long time. On a January day last year almost 3 ft of snow blanketed the peninsula. Heavy ice and dangerous winds knocked out power in the surrounding areas for three days to two weeks! With my heat out and no way of moving my car, I asked my friend Aaron (and his roomate) if I could PLEASE take shelter at their house (luckily they had power the whole time!).

The next day people were digging out, but my car was so covered with snow and ice I had to ask for help. Aaron always being the kind, hardworking, gentleman that he is, graciously offered to help me when no one else would. It took us 5 hours to free my car from the ice and snow and in payment I bought him breakfast (I guess what they say is true...the way to a man's heart IS through his stomach haha!). We talked all morning and had a great time. When we think back about that day we both agree that we definately felt the beginning of something truly special.


After that cold, icy January day Aaron and I more or less became inseperable. We began a close friendship that turned into love 3 months later. We took each day as they came and cherished them, due to the fact that Aaron was moving to Virginia and my enlistment still having 8 months remaining. We decided that a long distance was worth the try and I am happy to say we have only become stronger because of it! Both he and I have learned so much about ourselves, each other and what we desire and deserve from this life.

We got engaged on New Years Day 2011............and we are getting married in exactly ONE MONTH!

I met my fiance through a friend. Her friend had actually introduced them cus she thought they'd be "the perfect match" and she wasn't into him at all haha We started talking online (I was 14, he was 16), started hanging out and became friends . Then he started dating someone and I was FURIOUS! We stopped talking, he went off to college and life went on. Then when I was a senior he IMed me (oh AIM how I miss you!), we started talking again, and we finally started dating! That was 7 years ago, we're getting married next June. It's funny to think that "friends" can turn into so much more

I met my husband 31 years ago. He was a bartender at the bar my friends and I hung out at. It was love at first sight! And believe me, I tried very hard not to fall for him as hard as I did. I had just recently ended a nine year relationship (marriage). But there was something mesmerizing about him. He drew me in closer and closer to him, like a bee to honey. We both weren’t looking for a relationship. We were looking for someone to have fun with. What we got…well it was 31 years of bliss and we are looking forward to the next 31 years!

My boyfriend and I met over 3 years ago in a snow storm on a GreyHound bus in Cleveland. We were both layed over and stuck for two days with eachother. He's from Syraucse and I'm from Buffalo. It really was love at first sight!

I was friends with his cousin, she introduced us. I don't believe in love at first sight, but it was definitely attraction at first sight.

In a chat room. We were young so we couldn't meet in person until many years later. We both went through a lot of relationships but always had feelings for each other. Finally after about 4 years we were in a place where we could try and be together. He came to visit me and he was amazing. Then, a year and a half later I moved to Cali to be with him and now 7 years later I haven't spent more than a few hours away from him. I could not see myself with anyone else. Its feels like if I hadn't been in that chat room at the time I was, we would never have met.

A dating service, it was love at first sight for both of us but I denied it for sometime. We have been together for 16 yrs this June.

Love at first sight. I was a belly dancer and he was the waiter at a Lebanese restaurant and all he could ask in English is if I wanted more mint tea. To this day I hate mint tea and at the time I kept pouring it into the plant next to my table so he would keep coming over. 32 years later, a 31 year old daughter and a 29 year old son, he's still trying to serve me mint tea and I'm still belly dancing!

This one's my favorite so far.

I met my husband at a Sportsmens's Club on a lake near my house in 1977. I had been at the lake swimming all day with my friend and his high school agriculture class had built a paddleboat to compete in a race later. They were all there to try out the boat to see if it even floated. The guys kept staring at us girls but we ignored them completely until we realized it was getting late, we had a long walk home and I'd be grounded if I wasn't home before dark. We met 2 of the guys the day before but didn't really 'know' them and I approached one of them to 'borrow' a comb to comb out my hair before it dried. Another guy that was with the 2 guys asked if we needed a ride and we said YES! Then on the way home 2 of the guys asked us if we'd go to a movie with them the next night. He showed up, we all went out and they asked us out again. My girlfriend left for 4 weeks of vacation and I was invited to go out again by my date. Alone, just the two of us. I was really nervous! We really enjoyed each other and fell in love quickly. We were officially dating within a few months, engaged in a year and married a year later.
It has been 35 years since we met, married 33 years this October. We have 3 absolutely wonderful grown kids and 2 beautiful grandchildren.
I have truly been blessed by knowing him and I wouldn't change a thing.
We have had good times and some bad times over the years but that's life. Enjoy the good times, remember them and make memories daily because time really does fly!
P.S. The boat they built totally fell apart in the race and sank. lol

Out with girlfriends at a bar that was doing Karaoke. He walked in looking amazingly ripped and gorgeous. One of my friends knew of him so I insisted she introduce us. He sang U2 "With or Without you". I wanted to molest him. Married for almost 11 years.
