How December Mommas Met their December Daddys.
"He was my RA in the dorms at college. :)" --Nicole0012
"DH and I met on a dark and stormy night in interwebs land. We totally met on AOL when we were 18. We're nerdy and he messaged me because I had something nerdy in my profile. *sigh* So romantic. lol But we talked all day every day for about 2 months straight. He lived halfway across the country and my parents were PISSED that I met some guy on the internet. It was very uncool in 2001. Eventually he moved out here to meet me and everything fell into place. BTW my parents love him now.. hah" --halo--
"He's my best friend's, husband's, cousin. I think I was 16 when I met him & he was 26 married and had 3 kids...it was love at first sight. Hmmm maybe not : ) I didn't even really notice him until I was 22 & he was 32 divorced and a single dad. We will have been married for 5 years this Friday : )" --ChristineRich06
"One sunny, summer afternoon in August of 2003, after a day show at the PNC Bank Arts Center a mutual friend, Kristen, invited Toni to go out to eat at Applebees with her and meet her friend James and John. The four sat and ate, and in all honestly Toni thought James was weird. After that they met up a few more times with friends, but it wasn't until New Years Eve of 2003 where James and Toni really got to talking and got to knew each other better. By early January, James knew that he liked Toni (Toni on the other hand needed some more time). Another mutual friend of the two, Melanie, talked up James to Toni (basically talking her into giving the two a try together) And on January 21st, 2004 James asked Toni if she would "accept this rose" (please note this was done over the phone and there was no rose!) And the rest is history!!!" --bubbles231211
"MY DH husband was in law class. I thought he was so HOT so everyday I would make an effort to sit by him and apparently it worked and I got his attention enough and we started dating and five years later we were married, and now having a baby." --knvalen
"We met in college. We lived next door to eachother at a very small school and didn't meet until Junior year. Turns out our roomates dated Freshman year but we didn't meet for another 3 years." --LIBride6-16-07
"Highschool sweethearts...well kinda...we went to different schools and met through a mutual friend 13 years ago (started dating 11 years ago)" --BellaCapulet
"I met DH on eharmony! We had our first date at a dog park and I thought it went well. When we were leaving he put his dog in the car and said "Welp, bye" slammed the door and drove off. I started laughing thinking he would never call me again. I went to see my mom afterward and told her I had a great date, but he didn't seem interested in the end. Aparently he went to his friend's house afterward and his friend's fiance asked when we were going out again and he said he didn't know, since he didn't ask me out again. She yelled at him to get on the phone and call me for a second date. I had a voice mail from him about 2 hours later asking me out again. Lol." --stbmittleman
"At the grocery store- I was cashier and he worked in the pharmacy. He thought I was cute and would stand in line behind the soccer mom with 300 bucks worth of groceries to buy his pack of mints from me. :)) Love him! We even had one of our wedding photos taken in front of the store where we met" --Schink'sChick
"Met on an online dating website, chatted for 2-3 months.. and when we finally *met* was at a local metal show. We've been going to that band's shows ever since! This was 2 1/2 years ago. Now that we've moved across the country they stay with us when they're on tour! We got engaged about 3 weeks before finding out I was pregnant! Talk about good timing! lol" --bchenier
"We met online through Yahoo. Mr.MM searched through the member directory and then messaged me. I was dating someone else at the time so I didn't really give him the time of day. Then I broke up with the guy and talked with Mr.MM for about two weeks where we learned that we lived in the same neighborhood all our lives, went to school together from Elementary School through College, his best friend lived next door and I baby sat kids that played with his little brother. We also discovered that he knew my sister and her fiance at the time and we had a few mutual friends. When we had our first date he picked me up at my house and I knew as soon as he walked in the door that things would be good. He said he knew the same time too. Of course he hates that I tell people we met online and just likes to tell people that we've been going to school together for a while. Yes it is the truth but it wasn't how we met." --LovesMM
"One of my best friends used to work with him. He ended up leaving that job and worked in a graffiti shop downtown and one day my friend and I were walking by the store and she suggested we go in and say hi to her friend. Well, we hit it off and she invited him to come out to a movie with us that night and he said he'd come. When we left the store she said she doubted he'd come because he never shows up ...but he did and I noticed he changed his sneakers to fresh ones. Then I ended up going to university around the corner from the shop he worked at and we just became best friends <3" --abovewedding
"He sat next to me in history class our sophomore year in high school. He asked me to the homecoming dance and then was not able to go because of a bad grade. So, to make it up to me, he planned a private dance in his english teacher's classroom (with her permission) and we've been together ever since!" --J-Pancakes
"We met playing softball. I thought he was a big goof and super fun to be around, but never considered dating him. He always wore knee high striped socks to play softball. 3 years & 3 softball season later, we were hanging out more because he wanted to see me more - I had no clue he was interested. We ALWAYS had (and still do) so much fun just hanging out, that we started dating - apparently his plan all along. And we've been married 2 1/2 years already! I can't imagine not being married to him, and he really IS the love of my life." --kgorman
"We met at a club in DC, haha. But we met through a mutual friend. I joke him because at the end of that night, he didn't even know my name! We ran into each other several times for the next few months and eventually started talking. Our first date was about five months after we first met. We love telling people we met at a club, haha." --lulu8109
"He called me over to sit next to him in a bar in Dallas, TX while we were celebrating a win after the Oklahoma/TX college football game in October 2003. We talked for an hour and before I knew it I was yelling my phone number out the window of a taxi cab. He called a week later (he lived in California, me in Oklahoma) and the rest is history" --mandiroo
"I went to Philadelphia for the weekend to visit a friend at college. I almost didn't make it. There was a huge snowstorm so I left a day late, then it was standing room only on the train. Half way there the train caught on fire and we had to stop, it's a freaking miracle I ever even made it there. The first night I was there my husband came up to our floor and we locked eyes and it was kind of magical. I know, so lame, but it's true :-) He wasn't even supposed to be there that weekend, he came back to study for a test. Which he failed miserably because instead of studying he spent the whole night hanging out with me." --lindsayloung12
"We met my senior year of high school. I was actually dating his best friend at the time, who was a year older in college. My ex and I broke up (distance thing) but we still talked a lot and he said that he wanted to take me to my homecoming. Well, 3 days before the dance, my ex basically told me off saying he had "more important places to be and things to do than go to some f'ing high school dance." That totally upset me - so I asked for his best friend's name and phone number. I called his best friend, who I never met and went to a different school and asked him to my dance. Lucky for me, this guy who I never met had just had a dramatic high school break-up and said yes. I met him the next day, we went to the dance, dated all though high school... and 10 years later we're married and expecting our first child!" --mands629
"We were best friends in high school. I was going to the junior formal with a college guy and DH wasn't going to the dance at all (he reportedly hated dances). Two days before the dance, the college guy landed in the hospital with an infected molar. So, I called DH crying because I had my dress, nails done, etc. and I didn't know what to do. So, he asked me to the dance. At the dance we realized our feelings for each other and started dating very soon after. That was ten years ago :" --jillybean800
I had gotten out of a horrible 6 yr relationship about 6mos earlier. We went to the same church but didn't know each other. His older sister asked the pastors sister if she knew of any nice girls for her brother. They then set up for a group of us to go to Dairy Queen one night. He was short, didn't like the way he dressed, but he did have a nice car. Lol! We talked for about a month but he used the " i'm not ready for a relationship" line. After a few months he came crawling back cause he couldn't get me out of his mind, haha! I then asked him what changed his mind and he didn't know but did say he thought I was some kind of goody girl, not! Well the rest is history and fell head over heels, Lol! --Karlmolly
"He sat in front of me in a college accounting class. I texted my friend after our first class and said I met my future husband today. It wasn't long before his seat no longer faced forward and he had his back to the professor so we could talk. I'm still pretty shocked he didn't get in trouble but our professor constantly would yell at him to stop flirting." --ChatterboxBride09
"We met at a party - June 30, 1996. As soon as he walked in, it was love at first sight for me! He shook my hand to introduce himself, which I thought was really sweet. We were the only 2 people not drinking at the party, so we ended up hanging out & watching old Mr. Bean episodes. A lot of people ended up crashing there since they were drunk, so we stayed, too. We ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor b/c all the beds & couches were taken. lol He drove me home the next day & we exchanged numbers. I had to finally come clean that I had a boyfriend at the time. But, we were on the outs. Meeting MH just solidified that! Our first date was the very next day. He came to my house w/ his dog & we took our dogs to the park by my house. We've been together ever since. I was 15, he was 18. Aaah, young love! --bosha711
"We met on Match.com. It was actually the day that I convinced myself to renew my membership for another month. I "winked" at him, and even though I was too young for what he was looking for, he graciously e-mailed me back. We e-mailed back and forth for a couple weeks while he was in Canada on business. We finally met one night after work for dinner, then ended up going to a concert at a seedy bar his friend told him about. The next day he had to go away on business again, and we spent every night that week talking until after 2am his time.(He's still just as dedicated :-).) We've been married just over 2 years now, so I guess it didn't bother him too much to miss out on sleep!" --lvmcc
"8th grade chior class. We flirted for the next 3 years when he finally asked me out he ingored me the whole time ( he had never been on a date before) 6 months later I asked him out and he recreated our first date... We have been together 7 years next week!! --jessrenee11
"A guy came into the car stereo shop I was working at with his arm and leg all bandaged up and the *cutest* pitbull I had ever seen. I asked him what happened and he told me he that the night before he was trying to get a fire started in the wood stove in his garage that just wouldn't light.... so he had a brilliant idea to pour paint thinner on it... which of course flashed back on him and set him on fire. I looked at him and said, "Wow, you're a smart one, yeah?" But then my attention went to the adorable dog with the gimp leg that melted my heart and I totally forgot how stupid the guy was. Somehow we became best friends really quickly after that, a few months passed and we started dating, 5 years later we got married :) I tease him to this day that he set himself on fire and got a cute dog just to get my attention because I never gave him the time of day when he came to the store before that :-P --JulietL129
"We met on my first day of work at a new job in late May. We were at the same orientation and had to go around the table saying where we were from. He was the other person from RI. Afterward, we talked about what town we were from, discovered we were working in different branches of the same department and we were taking the same train to and from work every day. The next morning we met at the train station, started taking the train together every day and became quick friends. He had a g/f and I had just gotten out of a long term relationship and wanted to be single for a while. But...shortly after, he broke up with his gf. I had a growing attraction, and I could tell he did too, but I kept fighting it because I still "wanted to be single." Long story short, he came to my parents' house for the night before 4th of July, which is a huge party night in my town. He had a bit too much to drink (well, a lot of us did) and I made him stay over. I totally expected him to get up and bolt out the next morning. Instead, he came to my hometown's parade, hung out with my family all day, helped my Mom and Dad set up for our huge cookout and I realized I had to give the guy a chance. 3 days later we had our first date, 2 months later we moved in together. 8 months after that we were engaged and a year after that we were married. :) --melissa425008
"My old co-worker/friend was having a birthday party for her 1 year old son at Chuckie Cheeses in Dec '05. I have a little brother that was 8 at the time and I thought it would be fun to take him. While my little brother played video games I waited for him at a table where my co-worker's family was sitting. I was sitting there eating my little salad talking to my co-workers dad when this handsome guy interrupts him and gives him a kiss and hug. My co-worker's dad introduced him as his grandson. My now DH stayed there with us and I kinda thought he was annoying and snotty at the time. I continued the friendship with my old co-worker after I left that job and was invited to other family parties. I would catch DH looking at me and then looking away. I thought it was cute and eventually we started talking. I was really hesitant because his aunt is my friend! She's the one that gave my DH my phone number and 3 years later we got married. --our1stbaby2010
"I hope we don't sound like total alcoholics, but we met in a bar on St Patrick's Day. My friend and I were out at a local pub celebrating and decided to leave because we were bored. On the way out, I ran into an old neighbor of ours who convinced us to stay and hang out. We went back inside and while we were sitting at a table, I saw a college classmate of mine. She asked me to come over and chat with her boyfriend and friends. She was trying to set me up with one of the guys, but he had a girlfriend and I wasn't interested. Then I noticed her other friend! He was very easy going and quite attractive. Well we started talking and really hit it off. He called me the very next day and we started dating almost immediately. It was love at first site for me! I am still grateful to this day that I ran into my neighbor while we were leaving or else I would have never met my husband." --JessicaTri
"It was 10 yrs ago and we worked together....Actually he worked for the same company just departments.. I saw him around here & there but never actually knew his name or spoken to him etc.. One day a group of people from work were getting together after work to hangout... So I went home changed & met up with everyone. While I was there I noticed my DH making eye contact with me.. We slipped away & started talking & really hit it up..I really didn't think it was going to go anywhere because I refused to date anyone I worked with...About 2 weeks later my DH left the company we worked for & we started officially dating. He took me on the best dates,he bought me the best gifts.. Here we are now blissfully in love expecting our little LO this December.... --LuckyLadyJ
"My DH and I met over 7 years ago through a mutual friend. We both lived in NYC, but actually met in PA. My girl friend was married to his guy friend and we were both visiting them in PA (where they lived at the time) on the same weekend. We were together 2 1/2 years before we got engaged, were engaged for 2 1/2 year and are now married for 2 1/2 years. lol " --MrsDe2008
"In 2003, I got a phone call from a friend I had gone to school with. He had got a job offer to start a ministry training program in Ontario, Canada. He wanted me to come along to help him set up the program and then to be on staff. I thought about it for a few weeks and signed up for the adventure. Moved to Canada from Pennsylvania a month after that phone call. The very next day after I moved, I was introduced to my future hubby. We became really good friends and a year later started dating. Just about the time I had to move back to Pennsylvania. We long distance dated for two years - driving back and forth for weekend visits. Finally got engaged and then married, and I moved to his home town in Ontario, Canada." --MrsMandi
"As backwoods redneck as it sounds (and we are none of that). We met off roading Nissan Trucks on the side of a mountain in East Texas! He was in the same off-roading group of nissan guys as my ex-boyfriend, and I went on a whim with him (we were still friends, and he had a 2 room tent). I asked DH if he wanted a passenger to ride with him (I had seen him at previous outings and thought he was cute), and he said yes. He said that he wanted to ask me, but was too nervous. That will have been 6 years ago on Halloween!! We were married almost 3 years later!" --luckystarz
"Met H in 2003 when I was dating someone who he happend to be friends with. Didn't see him again until 2005, January actually, and the guy I was dating before we had just broken up after 2 years. It was a very stupid and nerve racking relationship. H had just gotten out of a 2 year relationship as well. Anyways, we met up again that night at a party and ever since we've been together. We were engaged in Sept of 2007 and married in March of 2009." --BB8785
"We met at karate. I was 15 and he was 17. He had just enlisted in the Army after his birthday and I was still worried about what kinds of favors to have at my sweet sixteen. I thought that he was cute and he thought that I was a spoiled brat. My father was one of the instructing blackbelts and so I trained in the majority of the classes each night and he would take multiple classes a week to stay in shape. We started talking between classes and became friends. We started courting after I turned 16." --Rink08
"My SO is a SFO in the Air Force (he's a cop) and we were stationed at the same base. I was staying in billeting and I heard noises in a vacant room on a down day at 6am. So, I called it in & he was the one they sent to check out the room. Then he came back & checked on me a few hours later...then again when he went to lunch...then again when his shift ended & he asked if I wanted to head off base for beer" --OregonMommy
"We met 9 years ago, my friends and I had gone down to Chicago for a Depeche Mode concert and on the way back up to Green Bay we stopped off at the Gurnee Mills outlet to shop and have lunch.. We ate at Rainforest Cafe and when we had finished we were going to step outside for a minute and as we were leaving the restaurant I had noticed the most gorgeous sailor sitting at a booth..once outside I notice that the same *sailor* had been behind us coming out to smoke.. he started talking to us asking how the food was cause he had just placed his order, so we chatted about a few things and then we started to head inside and we told him to enjoy his lunch and went on our way to shop. Well about an hour later wouldn't you know but that same sailor comes walking by and we are both heading to the music shop so we start talking again about music and realize we both like the same things..he tells me this is his first time off the training base since his graduation from boot camp and so we say good bye again and go our separate ways. At this time my friends start bugging me to go and ask him for his number but I am shy so I tell them to shut it. I swear within a half hour I end up passing him again (I don't know if you know this outlet but it is pretty large.. ) and my friends start in on me again telling me that he keeps turning around looking back at me.. so finally on the 4th time walking past him I finally break down and go after him and ask for his info.. and the rest they say is history, but really it's just a longer story!" --zeadfly
"It was a cloudy Fall day and I sat with my nose in a book, taking the bus home, when this chubby guy sat next to me. He whipped out his cootie catcher, asked if I wanted to play and then he invited me over for cookies. We were in the second grade and from that moment on, we were the very best of friends. He was in the boy scouts with my brother, played in the city baseball league with my brother. His sister was my swim instructor. His grandfather gave me private music lessons and his mother and my grandmother worked together. From second grade through senior year, we were both played several instruments in band and in high school, he was the captain of the drum line and I was co-captain. He even dated my best friend while I dated his best friend. Clearly, we were meant to be. First day of college, we found ourselves sitting two seats apart in the same stinkin' class. As they say, the rest is history. :)" --KateySue
"first met dh when we were 12 yrs old. i was hanging out with my best friend (who is his cousin) and a bunch of their other girl cousins. somehow the topic was brought up about how id look so cute with their other cousin (dh) so they dragged me to his house to meet him. but he wasnt interested in meeting me lol cooties i guess. then when we were 16 he added me to that msn chatting thing and we became friends. we were "official" when we were 17. we've been together now for 8 1/2 yrs...married for almost 1 yr. his cousins still think we owe them big time lol" --xxbabycakesxx
"DH and I met in 1998 on an instant messaging site (we were both 16, I lived in WI and he lived in LA) and we talked for four years, got to be best friends, and NEVER told our parents. lol mine would have killed me! During my sophomore year in college, he flew over from Germany-where he was stationed at the time-to visit me for a week. The next three years included a couple of visits, tons of phone calls, and we finally moved in together October 2004. He proposed to me six months later, and the rest is history!" --principessa81

Two days before the dance, the college guy landed in the hospital with an infected molar. So, I called DH crying because I had my dress, nails done, etc. and I didn't know what to do. So, he asked me to the dance. At the dance we realized our feelings for each other and started dating very soon after. That was ten years ago :" --jillybean800
I had gotten out of a horrible 6 yr relationship about 6mos earlier. We went to the same church but didn't know each other. His older sister asked the pastors sister if she knew of any nice girls for her brother. They then set up for a group of us to go to Dairy Queen one night. He was short, didn't like the way he dressed, but he did have a nice car. Lol! We talked for about a month but he used the " i'm not ready for a relationship" line. After a few months he came crawling back cause he couldn't get me out of his mind, haha! I then asked him what changed his mind and he didn't know but did say he thought I was some kind of goody girl, not! Well the rest is history and fell head over heels, Lol! --Karlmolly
"He sat in front of me in a college accounting class. I texted my friend after our first class and said I met my future husband today. It wasn't long before his seat no longer faced forward and he had his back to the professor so we could talk. I'm still pretty shocked he didn't get in trouble but our professor constantly would yell at him to stop flirting." --ChatterboxBride09
"We met at a party - June 30, 1996. As soon as he walked in, it was love at first sight for me! He shook my hand to introduce himself, which I thought was really sweet. We were the only 2 people not drinking at the party, so we ended up hanging out & watching old Mr. Bean episodes. A lot of people ended up crashing there since they were drunk, so we stayed, too. We ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor b/c all the beds & couches were taken. lol He drove me home the next day & we exchanged numbers. I had to finally come clean that I had a boyfriend at the time. But, we were on the outs. Meeting MH just solidified that! Our first date was the very next day. He came to my house w/ his dog & we took our dogs to the park by my house. We've been together ever since. I was 15, he was 18. Aaah, young love! --bosha711
"We met on Match.com. It was actually the day that I convinced myself to renew my membership for another month. I "winked" at him, and even though I was too young for what he was looking for, he graciously e-mailed me back. We e-mailed back and forth for a couple weeks while he was in Canada on business. We finally met one night after work for dinner, then ended up going to a concert at a seedy bar his friend told him about. The next day he had to go away on business again, and we spent every night that week talking until after 2am his time.(He's still just as dedicated :-).) We've been married just over 2 years now, so I guess it didn't bother him too much to miss out on sleep!" --lvmcc
"8th grade chior class. We flirted for the next 3 years when he finally asked me out he ingored me the whole time ( he had never been on a date before) 6 months later I asked him out and he recreated our first date... We have been together 7 years next week!! --jessrenee11
"A guy came into the car stereo shop I was working at with his arm and leg all bandaged up and the *cutest* pitbull I had ever seen. I asked him what happened and he told me he that the night before he was trying to get a fire started in the wood stove in his garage that just wouldn't light.... so he had a brilliant idea to pour paint thinner on it... which of course flashed back on him and set him on fire. I looked at him and said, "Wow, you're a smart one, yeah?" But then my attention went to the adorable dog with the gimp leg that melted my heart and I totally forgot how stupid the guy was. Somehow we became best friends really quickly after that, a few months passed and we started dating, 5 years later we got married :) I tease him to this day that he set himself on fire and got a cute dog just to get my attention because I never gave him the time of day when he came to the store before that :-P --JulietL129
"We met on my first day of work at a new job in late May. We were at the same orientation and had to go around the table saying where we were from. He was the other person from RI. Afterward, we talked about what town we were from, discovered we were working in different branches of the same department and we were taking the same train to and from work every day. The next morning we met at the train station, started taking the train together every day and became quick friends. He had a g/f and I had just gotten out of a long term relationship and wanted to be single for a while. But...shortly after, he broke up with his gf. I had a growing attraction, and I could tell he did too, but I kept fighting it because I still "wanted to be single." Long story short, he came to my parents' house for the night before 4th of July, which is a huge party night in my town. He had a bit too much to drink (well, a lot of us did) and I made him stay over. I totally expected him to get up and bolt out the next morning. Instead, he came to my hometown's parade, hung out with my family all day, helped my Mom and Dad set up for our huge cookout and I realized I had to give the guy a chance. 3 days later we had our first date, 2 months later we moved in together. 8 months after that we were engaged and a year after that we were married. :) --melissa425008
"My old co-worker/friend was having a birthday party for her 1 year old son at Chuckie Cheeses in Dec '05. I have a little brother that was 8 at the time and I thought it would be fun to take him. While my little brother played video games I waited for him at a table where my co-worker's family was sitting. I was sitting there eating my little salad talking to my co-workers dad when this handsome guy interrupts him and gives him a kiss and hug. My co-worker's dad introduced him as his grandson. My now DH stayed there with us and I kinda thought he was annoying and snotty at the time. I continued the friendship with my old co-worker after I left that job and was invited to other family parties. I would catch DH looking at me and then looking away. I thought it was cute and eventually we started talking. I was really hesitant because his aunt is my friend! She's the one that gave my DH my phone number and 3 years later we got married. --our1stbaby2010
"I hope we don't sound like total alcoholics, but we met in a bar on St Patrick's Day. My friend and I were out at a local pub celebrating and decided to leave because we were bored. On the way out, I ran into an old neighbor of ours who convinced us to stay and hang out. We went back inside and while we were sitting at a table, I saw a college classmate of mine. She asked me to come over and chat with her boyfriend and friends. She was trying to set me up with one of the guys, but he had a girlfriend and I wasn't interested. Then I noticed her other friend! He was very easy going and quite attractive. Well we started talking and really hit it off. He called me the very next day and we started dating almost immediately. It was love at first site for me! I am still grateful to this day that I ran into my neighbor while we were leaving or else I would have never met my husband." --JessicaTri
"It was 10 yrs ago and we worked together....Actually he worked for the same company just departments.. I saw him around here & there but never actually knew his name or spoken to him etc.. One day a group of people from work were getting together after work to hangout... So I went home changed & met up with everyone. While I was there I noticed my DH making eye contact with me.. We slipped away & started talking & really hit it up..I really didn't think it was going to go anywhere because I refused to date anyone I worked with...About 2 weeks later my DH left the company we worked for & we started officially dating. He took me on the best dates,he bought me the best gifts.. Here we are now blissfully in love expecting our little LO this December.... --LuckyLadyJ
"My DH and I met over 7 years ago through a mutual friend. We both lived in NYC, but actually met in PA. My girl friend was married to his guy friend and we were both visiting them in PA (where they lived at the time) on the same weekend. We were together 2 1/2 years before we got engaged, were engaged for 2 1/2 year and are now married for 2 1/2 years. lol " --MrsDe2008
"In 2003, I got a phone call from a friend I had gone to school with. He had got a job offer to start a ministry training program in Ontario, Canada. He wanted me to come along to help him set up the program and then to be on staff. I thought about it for a few weeks and signed up for the adventure. Moved to Canada from Pennsylvania a month after that phone call. The very next day after I moved, I was introduced to my future hubby. We became really good friends and a year later started dating. Just about the time I had to move back to Pennsylvania. We long distance dated for two years - driving back and forth for weekend visits. Finally got engaged and then married, and I moved to his home town in Ontario, Canada." --MrsMandi
"As backwoods redneck as it sounds (and we are none of that). We met off roading Nissan Trucks on the side of a mountain in East Texas! He was in the same off-roading group of nissan guys as my ex-boyfriend, and I went on a whim with him (we were still friends, and he had a 2 room tent). I asked DH if he wanted a passenger to ride with him (I had seen him at previous outings and thought he was cute), and he said yes. He said that he wanted to ask me, but was too nervous. That will have been 6 years ago on Halloween!! We were married almost 3 years later!" --luckystarz
"Met H in 2003 when I was dating someone who he happend to be friends with. Didn't see him again until 2005, January actually, and the guy I was dating before we had just broken up after 2 years. It was a very stupid and nerve racking relationship. H had just gotten out of a 2 year relationship as well. Anyways, we met up again that night at a party and ever since we've been together. We were engaged in Sept of 2007 and married in March of 2009." --BB8785
"We met at karate. I was 15 and he was 17. He had just enlisted in the Army after his birthday and I was still worried about what kinds of favors to have at my sweet sixteen. I thought that he was cute and he thought that I was a spoiled brat. My father was one of the instructing blackbelts and so I trained in the majority of the classes each night and he would take multiple classes a week to stay in shape. We started talking between classes and became friends. We started courting after I turned 16." --Rink08
"My SO is a SFO in the Air Force (he's a cop) and we were stationed at the same base. I was staying in billeting and I heard noises in a vacant room on a down day at 6am. So, I called it in & he was the one they sent to check out the room. Then he came back & checked on me a few hours later...then again when he went to lunch...then again when his shift ended & he asked if I wanted to head off base for beer" --OregonMommy
"We met 9 years ago, my friends and I had gone down to Chicago for a Depeche Mode concert and on the way back up to Green Bay we stopped off at the Gurnee Mills outlet to shop and have lunch.. We ate at Rainforest Cafe and when we had finished we were going to step outside for a minute and as we were leaving the restaurant I had noticed the most gorgeous sailor sitting at a booth..once outside I notice that the same *sailor* had been behind us coming out to smoke.. he started talking to us asking how the food was cause he had just placed his order, so we chatted about a few things and then we started to head inside and we told him to enjoy his lunch and went on our way to shop. Well about an hour later wouldn't you know but that same sailor comes walking by and we are both heading to the music shop so we start talking again about music and realize we both like the same things..he tells me this is his first time off the training base since his graduation from boot camp and so we say good bye again and go our separate ways. At this time my friends start bugging me to go and ask him for his number but I am shy so I tell them to shut it. I swear within a half hour I end up passing him again (I don't know if you know this outlet but it is pretty large.. ) and my friends start in on me again telling me that he keeps turning around looking back at me.. so finally on the 4th time walking past him I finally break down and go after him and ask for his info.. and the rest they say is history, but really it's just a longer story!" --zeadfly
"It was a cloudy Fall day and I sat with my nose in a book, taking the bus home, when this chubby guy sat next to me. He whipped out his cootie catcher, asked if I wanted to play and then he invited me over for cookies. We were in the second grade and from that moment on, we were the very best of friends. He was in the boy scouts with my brother, played in the city baseball league with my brother. His sister was my swim instructor. His grandfather gave me private music lessons and his mother and my grandmother worked together. From second grade through senior year, we were both played several instruments in band and in high school, he was the captain of the drum line and I was co-captain. He even dated my best friend while I dated his best friend. Clearly, we were meant to be. First day of college, we found ourselves sitting two seats apart in the same stinkin' class. As they say, the rest is history. :)" --KateySue
"first met dh when we were 12 yrs old. i was hanging out with my best friend (who is his cousin) and a bunch of their other girl cousins. somehow the topic was brought up about how id look so cute with their other cousin (dh) so they dragged me to his house to meet him. but he wasnt interested in meeting me lol cooties i guess. then when we were 16 he added me to that msn chatting thing and we became friends. we were "official" when we were 17. we've been together now for 8 1/2 yrs...married for almost 1 yr. his cousins still think we owe them big time lol" --xxbabycakesxx
"DH and I met in 1998 on an instant messaging site (we were both 16, I lived in WI and he lived in LA) and we talked for four years, got to be best friends, and NEVER told our parents. lol mine would have killed me! During my sophomore year in college, he flew over from Germany-where he was stationed at the time-to visit me for a week. The next three years included a couple of visits, tons of phone calls, and we finally moved in together October 2004. He proposed to me six months later, and the rest is history!" --principessa81
