How did you meet your special one!
 

I met my SO in high school!! Didn't really didn't care for him to much because he was such a clown. Needless to say I fell head over heals! I mostly kept to myself because compared to everyone else I was a little over weight, but being sixteen I felt like I was allot over weight!! I felt like well theres someone out there for everyone give it a try! He would meet me at my class door way as every period was ending and carrying my books. I had a part time job at a retail store and he would leave little stuffed animals on my car. We ended up going to the fair and had a blast walking around holding hands and I still remember that first kiss! I could not sleep at all that night! We have been married 16 years and needless to say I fall in love with him everyday. There is not a day that goes by that we tell each other several times a day we love each other and the best thing about that is our 13 year old son gets to see and hear and feel that kind of love!! :love:

AWWWW these stories are too fun!

I told my story on the thread of whether you should get married young or wait. Well I said that I had married relatively young, but because I'd known my hubby for a LONG time LOL.

When we moved into our new house, I was five years old and the cute boy next door came over to meet my brother and I. He stayed awhile and when he left I swooned and told my mom "that is the boy I am going to MARRY!" and I did chase that boy around for about the next 15 years!~ LOL but since he was a few years older than me, I was just the little pesky girl next door.

Then when I turned 16, I shed the glasses, grew out my stringy hair and grew boobs, he started noticing! (admittedly, I was a funny looking kid) He taught me how to drive, took me to my first formal dance and my first kiss. (and my first...well...ok won't go there) We of course were on and off through high school so we both saw other people but always ended up back together. Got engaged for my high school graduation with of course the intention we would wait til after college.

Which we did, we ended up getting married almost ten years later. We have two kids, Robert 6 and Rachel 2, and a siamese cat named Sarah Lee (nobody doesn't like her). We've had some rocky roads but I have to say our marriage is better now than it ever has been. I love to tell my story too! And I adore my in laws, since I've always known them too!

Angie and I met through a christian newspaper personal ad. I had been dating through it for a couple of years after being divorced for 4 from my first wife. I did have a couple of "possibles" but it just didn't seem right, I wasn't going to call her because her ad said LOVES DANCING ~ I DON'T! ~ NON-SMOKER ~ I WAS (at the time, 9 years "clean"), I went ahead and called her anyway. She didn't call back for a week, she was at her mom's on vacation for Christmas break. When we did connect, we found out that she lived in the next city, her daughter was a student at the our church school where my kids went. Although my kids were older they knew Lara since our school is rather small. Angie went to another church and usually her ex picked Lara up so it was doubtful we would have ever run in to each other at church or school functions.

Anyway we agreed to meet at the park during Ryan's basketball practice one night, when we did she had the flu, her nose was runny, she was coughing, a mess! I knew right then and there she was the one for me!!:carrot:

We dated for a year and were married on the first anniversary of our meeting each other. We will be married for 11 years in January.

I met my husband at a summer job in Door County, Wisconsin 1996. I remember the first time I saw him I thought he was so cute. Of course I didn't have the nerve to talk to him! That summer was basically one big drunken party. I never really drank much before or since but man, that summer I partied a lot! He saw me at my worst before I ever even talked to him. On the night of his birthday party I got completely trashed. (Hurricanes are MUCH stronger than they taste!) About an hour and a half into his party he practically carried me to my room, helped me get jeans off, and put me to bed. He didn't try anything, he was a perfect gentleman. He spent the rest of the night in my room with me bringing me water and helping me to the bathroom when I got sick.

The next night night was another party where the discussion was about what we girls would do if a guy cheated on us. Being slightly drunk, my response was pretty graphic. He asked me out the next day! We were with each other pretty much 24 7 for the rest of that summer. We would stay up all night talking and go to work the next day without sleeping at all.

For the first year after that summer we lived 2.5 hours apart. We'd see each other maybe once a month if we were lucky. That year was really tough. After that, we moved in together but worked opposite hours so we still didn't really see each other much. Then we moved to another state 4 years ago so he could go back to school and finally got jobs with similar hours.

When we met I weighed around 130 lbs. He has never said anything about my weight. Even at my heaviest he still tried to get me to walk around the house naked. It wasn't until about a year ago when my blood pressure started to get up there that he suggested I started getting more exercise. He didn't care what I weighed as long as I was healthy.

On June 10 of this year we got married and had the reception at the same resort where we met. Even though so much went wrong that day it was the most beautiful day of my life. He is truly my soul mate. I can't even imagine a life without him in it.

This is where Aaron proposed. Cave Point was our special place to go to be alone together. Of course he proposed on January 29, so there were icicles dripping down the cliffs and the bay was almost frozen over.

I met my hubby online too. I had just moved to Oregon and didn't know anybody, and I updated my ICQ profile that I lived in the area. My hubby sent me a random chat, was looking through people that lived near him... we started chatting, and I almost blocked him because I thought it was pretty forward and he pushed for meeting me... well I settled for calling him, which we did for about a week or so.. and then I went to his house to meet him. I was 19 and my parents dropped me off (probably not safe, as a general rule, I'm surprised they agreed to it!) He was sitting in the front of his house, reading a book, and my brother said - look he's a geek and he's reading, he's perfect for you!... and he was right. We clicked from the very first meeting and we haven't been apart since. Moved in together 6 months later, got married when I was 21 and we just passed 7 years since we met.

I met my hubby when I was 14. I was at the mall with a friend ,we were sitting in the food court and an ex of another friend spotted me (I couldn't stand this guy) he started coming over I was gonna leave I did not want to talk to him but I didn't get up quick enough.Well he said his friend thought I was cute (coming from this guy I did not believe him) a lot of girls wanted to date my hubby at that time.My friend and I went out for a smoke and the guys followed.We dated a bit but another so called friend wanted him and started rummors so we split up.(we satyed friends and actually were roomates twice)
Fast forward 9 years ~ We were at another couples house playing darts and I wore a sweatshirt,needless to say I got hot so he gave me his shirt. A few days later he came to get his shirt from my house and well insert naughty thought here(though he was a 1 night thing). A month past (we were talking on the phone every few days) and he came over and I haven't been able to get rid of him since. We got married 8 months after(2002) and have 6 kids, 2 his,2 mine,2 together.

In nursing school....he introduced himself to me the first day of school on our way out of nurses residence....it was Psych Nursing....so I tell everyone I met my husband at a Psych Hospital....that was 22 years....and many ups and downs since....been married 17 years....three kids, a dog and a hamster ago....he is a great, great guy!

i love these stories! :) soooooo sweet...

i met my DH online, also, in 2002. he was the new guy in a chat room i'd been using for years, and a longtime friend of mine was talking to him... she introduced us, and we chatted on and off. i lived in WV at the time, and he's always lived in SoCal... i had just started a job working for Mileage Plus (United Airline's frequent flyer program), so i had some free flights. he and i joked for a month or so, about me flying out for a weekend just to hang out... then i decided, why not? i had free flights, and no real plans for them, and i had a long weekend coming up... and he had a friend working for Marriott hotels at the time, so i was able to get a cheap room.

my mom kinda freaked out, at first, when i told her my plans for the weekend... but then again, she's gotten used to my tendency to be a impulsive. :dizzy: and she knows that i'm good at "reading" people, so she knew that if i sensed anything weird about him, at the airport, i'd just turn around and come home...

i was SO nervous, and then he was late getting to the airport because of traffic, so i was afraid he'd decided he didn't want to meet me. luckily, he got there JUST as i was about to head to the ticket counter to arrange to go home. LOL but there was definitely nothing "weird" about him, and we had a GREAT weekend. we both pretty much knew this was it, by the time we'd left the airport... :)

about 4 more visits, and 6 months later, i found out i was going to be laid off because of UA's cutbacks, and would lose my free flight benefits, so there was an impromptu proposal, and arrangements were made for me to move to Cali. he ended up "redoing" the proposal on New Year's Eve, when he took me on a gondola ride in Newport Harbor :D and we got married in June of 2004

Great stories! Fun to read. :)

ok i couldn't resist. i met my dbf in an airport. I was going to CA for spring break and he was in KY for a business trip. WE were both way early (4 hours-my excuse was i had to bum a ride form my firend to the airport- he was just trying to get home via standbye) for our flights. it was funny though because I had called my mom on a pay phone (yes it was in the tiem before cell phones were so widely used) and this really cute boy caught me checking him out and i started laughing and my mom was like what's so funny?? and I told her that some cute boy caught me chekcing out his tushy :o she laughed and told me to get to my gate, so like a good little girl i went to my gate and started reading one of my many books i had brought to pass the time. I noticed the woman sitting across from me gets up and goes to the ladies room leaving all of her stuff on the bench (also in the time of pre 9/11 and we were in KY) well I hear this clamoring and i look over and see the guy i had been checking out at the pay phone bank gathering his stuff and coming over to where the woman had been sitting. He puts down his stuff and then MOVES her stuff down the bench and plops down and satrts reading the paper. doesnt' even look at me. well the woman comes back and is mad cause he moved her stuff and he bats his big blue eyes at her and says ooh i am sorry. and she walks away. after about 10 mins or so he FINALLY looks at me and say "so is th ata good book???" i laughed and said yes it was (it was anne rice interview with a vampire) so we started talking about the book and he told me all these palces in CA to go (he traveld alot with his job) anyway the time flew and we exchanged email addresses and i went on my merry way - about two weeks later after i had come back form break I was checkingmy email and low and behold he had emailed me and said he had been trying to email me and since he hadn't heard a response woudl let me be - I wrote back NOOOOO! Our computers were down at school due ot a freakish storm that torn down some power lines. Well this was in March - in early May he flew back down and took me on our first date, i left for a semester abroad two weeks later and he would call me in England and send me care packages then that Nov I spent thanksgiving with him - i noticed on his book shelf there was the book i had been reading in the airport - he said he had to go buy it and read just in case i actually pressed him about reading it. This was 10 years ago this coming March. I moved to the same city he was in 5 years ago and WE finally moved in together 2 years ago- we are like the turtle - slow and steady wins the race the best thing about my BF is he is so supportive of everything I do. When we met I was on the college judo team - was a beauty queen and kicking an awesome 6pack, now I am much fluffier but after some healt issues and getting back to fighting weight as i like to call it. he doesnt seem to mind and thats why i love him. :carrot: and he still has the world's best tushy!!!
