I married the "milk man".I met my husband when he worked weekends while in college as a milk man! He delivered milk to our house for 3 years weekends and Summers.
We have been married 44 years and our son who is 42 today looks "just like the milkman".

I met the love of my life at an airport.. a mutual friend introduced us.
Although we started out states apart (500 miles) he flew back and forth to come see me. There wasn't a day that went by in that first year that we didn't talk for hours on the phone. It was unbearable to be so far away from him and it was the same for him. Never in my life have I felt so much love for someone. We made plans to marry, talked of having children together and I moved up to be with him. Marriage and 3 children later and I feel our love grows stronger for each other day by day. I thank God for bringing him into my life in a time I needed someone the most. He literally saved my life and for that I am forever thankful. I pray that life continues to get better and even more amazing and that we are blessed with more children.

I met her in the music section of the electronics department in Wal-Mart. She was playing around with a friend using a French accent because she was taking French classes in high school at the time. I heard it, and made of of her. She claimed to be a French model here as an exchange student. I bought it hook, line, and sinker lol. After all, she seemed to speak the language fluently, and very much looked the part. She kept it going for three days before she told me she was really from around here haha.

It's been over 12 years since, and we haven't been apart, not even a day.

[Just another Joe]

Living in the Philippines while in the Navy.
Went into a sari-sari (small convenience) store for a pack of smokes.
Saw the cashier and was smitten. The thunderbolt had hit me.

Went back daily until she knew me as a regular customer.
Our first date was to make American style chili.

She put me on my back with a leg sweep early in our dating (long story).

We've been married almost 24 years now.

The Navy counselers said we had a 97% chance of divorcing before the first 5 years. HA!

My golden retriever "Bart" introduced us to each other about 7 years ago, at a beach called Kanaha. She lived on the mainland and her job took her to Maui almost monthly. She would stop by to see if he, Bart, was there. Little did we know that we were made for each other, but Bart knew from day one.

We were married May 4th last year, and Bart was the ring bearer. He was old, arthritic, and blind, but he lived to see me marry the most wonderful woman on the planet. He is buried in the front yard now, a Plumeria tree planted on top of him, and we have a new golden retriever named "Zeke". But I will never forget my best friend, a we will always thank him for what he gave us, his unconditional love, and each other.

My mom wanted me to spend the summer in 1979 with my sister and brother-in-law on Guam (he was in the Air Force) . After a few weeks of being a beach bum, I went to the bowling alley on base with a couple of other teen-aged girls. My future husband heard my southern drawl and asked to be introduced to me.

My heart literally skipped a beat. I can still smell his cologne. I can tell you the funny shirt he had on. I never let him throw it away. It is still in our attic and has survived many moves with the Coast Guard. We will be celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this September. We are now much older and we have two beautiful (and smart) daughters.

It is so strange, because we both knew almost immediately that we would one day be married.

[oldfart]

My wife introduced us.

[Don Carlos]

My best friend introduced us.

We remain friends, nevertheless.

Thanks for tonites thread Tima!
Good evening Ma!
Good evening Canteeners and Troops!
How's everybody tonite?
How did we meet?
I was dating a drummer in a band..he asked if I wanted to go to rehersal..
This relationship was "On again/off again", you see.
He introduced me to Mr B, who stood up and leaned over the keyboards to take my hand..
I looked up into his beautiful gray eyes and thought..
"THERE you are, there you are at last"..
Twenty three years later, I couldn't love him more, and YES, he is every other beat of my heart..

We made small talk for awhile. Soon, the conversation turned to sex....

[jerry639]

Met her in typing class back in 1956. She was a Sophomore and I a Junior. She was one beautiful and sweet young lady.

I had never been too interested in girls during high school. My father had died when I was 15 years old and I spent my summers working so I could get back into school the next year. Times were difficult. Did not have money, clothing for dating, nor a car. Didn't have much to offer any girl.

During my Senior year (her Junior) we starting walking home together along with my younger brother and one of her female friends.

After I graduated from High School I managed to get a job and a used car. After that we started dating. Nothing major, just a picnic or we would ride over to a nearby State park to be alone and talk. Next thing you know we were talking of getting married after she graduated.

She graduated mid May of 1958 and we were married in our church June 1, 1958. Six children, 12 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren later we are still married. Will be 49 years this coming June.

She is still a beautiful and sweet lady. Will admit that she is my only love in life and the only woman with enough patience to put up with me.

We met in the
EMERGENCY ROOM
of all places . . .

I am a paramedic, and she (at the time) was the ER clerk. We had been at the arcade in the mall when we got call came in, and while writing my report at the counter in front of her work desk, I bemoaned the loss of the 50 cents I had just deposited. She called me a "Medic Wanna-Be" (my service was formerly called Medic One) and asked me when I was going to get a real job.

Before I left, she asked me what I was doing next month. I asked her to narrow that down a little. Well, she was moving, and needed a big strong guy like me to help her out. She had no idea I owned a truck.

On the first date, I was hooked. Sure, I helped her move. I moved in too. I stayed. Almost 10 years (and 2 kids) now.

[najida]

Well,
it all started when we were comparing tattoo's on the prison steps ;)

[Straight Vermonter]

Catholic retreat weekend on St. Valentine's Day 1986.

[Troublemaker]

I met my wife (when I was 15) at a post-rodeo dance at the Crow Fair (Crow Agency, MT.). We talked all night and into the morning and I was hooked, right then. Most family members and friends found us wrong for each other due to a number of reasons, and, yet, we couldn't stay away from each other (it was during this period that I earned my nickname/screen name :o)).

Those same skeptical family members and friends now seek out her advice, friendship, and company and consider her the solid rock/foundation of the family.

[El Gran Salseron]

The story is much too long but the date I could NEVER forget.

Dec 7, 1985.

[Liberty Valance]

1975. We both worked for same daily newspaper in different depts. Now we publish our own real estate magazine...together. She is still my bride and the light of my life.



30 year wedding Anniversary coming up January 15th!

[abigailsmybaby]

It's a bit of a rambling story, but his brother and my brother were in the Navy together. They were both discharged on the same day and they rode motorcycles (they bought them in Japan) home from San Diego.

His brother got married shortly after they got home and asked my brother to be his best man. I went to the wedding with him (it was in Iowa). Met my future hubby at that wedding, but we were both dating others at that time. However, my brother met his future wife at this wedding. They were married a year later.

Well, we met again at my brother's wedding. We were both unattached and started dating that night. We married 3 months later. That was 34 years ago.

It was four years after my divorce. After getting totally screwed over by my ex-wife, I swore off marriage forever.

All I wanted to do was have a few drinks and a few dances. I went to the local Legion Hall in Salinas, CA. Old folks lined the dance floor sitting at tables and standing at the bar. That was the scene I loved to see every Saturday. No women my age acting like idiots and no guys wanting to fight.

I went there for over a year. I grew to know almost everyone there. One night, one of my elderly drinking buddies said he had a daughter, unmarried and just a couple years older than me. He said he thought we would get along greatly. He wanted me to meet her. I wondered what kind of girl needed her dad to set her up and his daughter thought what kind of kind hangs out at a place for old folks.

A short time later his daughter came into the bar to meet me. We talked for hours and the night ended with a small kiss and an exchange of phone numbers.

My first thought, contrary to swearing off marriage forever, was I am going to marry this woman and live happily ever after.

That was 14 happy years and one son ago. We married and I have never been happier. Love at first thought. Who would have thunk it. lol anti-union person

[proudpapa]

We were both on vacation in the bahamas.

Me from Washington state and her from Illinois.
