How did you meet your wife/hubs?

[HawkinsPC]

Myspace!

He was friends with one of my friends, I thought he was cute, so I sent him a message. Turned out we had several classes together before I graduated and he had seen me around campus (I had never noticed him--I was rarely at school). Our mutual friend set us up in May, we moved in together first week of July, and married on Halloween that year.

I met mine at the workplace. I started 4 months after her, and she was assigned to "teach" me the stuff around the work place. Anyways we really hit off and became good friends. A couple of months into this, she was on night duty and phoned me that a creepy coworker was hitting on her and she couldn't get rid of him. So I went over and we gave the co-worker the slip and went to eat ice-cream at 2 in the morning.. LOL Anyways, on the way back, I told her about how I felt about her and couldn't believe my ears when she said that she felt the same. Dated for about 2 months, got engaged and then got married next month! LOL

Celebrated our 7th anniversary this November, and have two adorable daughters.

And we always joke that it is due to that creepy coworker of ours that we got married.. LOL

I met my wife 34 years ago, married her 4 years after that. I had just been released from 1 1/2 yrs in the hospital after being burned severely in a motorcycle accident. Could barely walk and or move under my own power and was living in a complex with a bar & health club on prem. The wife of one of my friends (at the time - he's long divorced now - reason will be clear in a sec.) called me asking if I had seen Bob. I knew he was down at the health club working out and told her as much but she claimed the health club said he was not there. The only other option was the bar so she asked me to go retrieve him as they were due at his 10 yr. class reunion in about an hour.

After hauling my carcass to the bar I discovered Bob and another friend of mine sitting with two drop dead gorgeous women. Bob was a player so not unusual for him but it was a score for my other friend. I waddled over to the table ( my legs were still bandaged from follow-on surgeries at that point) and plopped down next to Bob and as I did so I heard him invite the ladies to go to his class reunion - classy I know -

At any rate I politely informed Bob his wife was looking for him loud enough for the ladies to overhear. My future wife, who was sitting next to Bob, then proceeded to haul off and slap Bob so hard the glasses behind the bar rattled Needless to say Bob hustled out the door at that point leaving me and my other friend with the ladies who turned out to be sisters. We all spent a good while laughing at Bob's antics and wound up having a great time together that evening. I asked my wife out on our first "date" not long after and I was hooked.

2 grown kids and lots of good and some bad times behind us, I wouldn't trade her for the hottest supermodel out there. And before someone calls bs on that last comment, I'm not dead - I definitely appreciate great looking women and spend my fair share of time looking, but there is a lot to be said for that shared experience level that can only come with a long committed relationship.

MSN Chat

I met My wife on MSN chat about 12 years ago When it was all the rage l talked for about a month and were married 3 months later

 

[codegreen]

I met my wife at university. She was a freshman, I was third year, and we were both living in dorm. We met through mutual friends, hit it off, and started dating soon after that. Then, she dumped me after about a week. I was devastated. She kept hanging around me, though, and seemed to still like me. About a month later, we started dating again. Then, when I was bringing her home to meet my family, she dumped me. Again. In the car. On the way home. It was at this point that I realized we were both crazy for each other, but she had a fear of commitment.

We got back together. After a time, I started to notice some familiar signs. Fear of commitment was creeping in again. So, I dumped her this time, and that shook her up quite a bit. After a time, we talked, and decided that we would try one more time. If we broke up again, that would be it.

And so, one wedding, twelve years and four kids later, we're both pretty happy with that decision.

Lmao with your beer goggles on?

There may have been a small amount of beer consumed that weekend lol, no beer goggles though....unless I've still got them on

 

[smashedbotatos]

This thread has kept me amused all day long. There sure are some odd stories, but they all seem to be happy stories.

I met my husband in my late teens while volunteering for the Sierra Club at the county fair. He was volunteering also, for his college.

Parents initially not real thrilled about my dating an older man, but as they were hardly setting stellar examples of good judgement themselves, I ignored them (and everyone else). We've been together 20 years now.

 

[Vyper28]

I used to buy coffee from her every morning while I worked for the I.T. company I still work for .

I always thought she was beautiful, one day I told her she looked really good and asked if she would go out with me. She said yes and the rest is history!

Later I found out she made me cookies on Valentines day the year I asked her out, but chickened out and didn't give them to me.

Leeds University Union Bar. 1989.

We both arrived separately with friends. Those friends started chatting leaving us two standing alone so we got chatting.

Me : "it's hot in here isn't it"

Her : "I'm hungry, what are you going to buy me ?"

I said I only had £5.

Which she promptly stole and ran off.

(Now a recurring theme )

Married for over 20 years now.

10 years ago, we had T shirts made up with those two sentences. Awwww.

We got married at Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire. That was culture shock I can tell ya

 

[bertie40]

I met my wife (now) whilst on my brothers Stag do at Butlins in Bognor....yea I'm classy lol.

Butlins security officer doing a nightly check. Bangs on the door and in a gruff voice barks

"HAY,.... HAVE YOU GOT A WOMAN IN THERE !!!"

Pathetic voice replies "...no ?"

Officer replies. "Hang on then,..... we'll find you one. "

(Sorry, very old joke).

It was love in the walk-in-freezer. My first official job was at a Burger King, and she had just moved to town. Me and about 3 other guys were all vying for her attention, but, and I only found this out years later, she had already called home to tell her dad about me, saying she met the man she was going to marry. All this before I even mustered up the courage to ask her out.

Quite honestly, every good decision in my life since then (there were very few before then) have been her doing and all the bad ones continue to be mine.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this year will make 22 years she will have been making my best decisions for me.

This ones the most surprising of them all.

Know why? cause something good finally came out of burger king, ha!

 

[Rosco]

met my beautiful wife 6 years ago when i was working at 7-11 3rd shift. we have been married for 5 years and have 3 kids together!

 

[Steve202]

Mine is going to sound really bad, but in some woods at night.



Let me explain. Years ago me and my mates would go out in our cars and go to the local woods, its out of the way, wouldn't hassle or get hassled by anyone. One night a couple of cars pulled into the car park full of women and we got chatting to them. The rest is history.

I know a lot of guys/gals here are married and I like hearing hook up stories, keeps the faith that if I stop looking, it usually happens (or so they say). Or maybe I should still go looking or not look, but really look? UGH. Anyway, I'm curious...

How did you meet your special one? Online? Bars? Through friends? Church? School?

26 Years ago I was selling furniture in a detroit based furniture chain. I was flipped a sale because the salesperson could not close them. So, I stepped in. I sold her a living room set and new bed. She came back the next day and brought her mother. Her mother beat me up so bad on the price that it didnt pay for a month of dating. But, I called her the next day and said she won a free dinner at a local fine restaurant. Told her that the only catch was I was her escort. We have been together ever since. Her mother originally hated me. It took me 2 years to charm her mother and then I stole her daughter

I was the chief umpire at a Florida State baseball tournament. While changing clothes in the umpire's room to work the plate at the opening game, I was standing with my back to the door wearing only my underwear when the tournament scorekeeper (a lady) came in on her way to the scorekeeper's room. The other umpires yelled "Look out, there's a lady here!", to which the scorekeeper smiled and replied, "It's OK, I have two boys and I've seen it before." I looked over my shoulder and said the first thing came into my head, "That may be, but you haven't seen mine!" Couldn't believe I said that, but it was all in fun and everybody laughed.

Over the course of the week-long tournament, we saw each other many times. Afterwards, we started dating and 8 months later we were married. That was 23 years ago!

I worked at her high school her senior year. Neither were looking for a relationship as we had both just gotten out of bad ones.

I met my wife at the airport where she was learning to fly, and I was flying charter for a Air express company. (Beech 18's)
That was 16 years ago and every day I think how glad I am to have met her, she is great. Her only problem is when she lands an airplane she flares too soon and lands with a thump.
