How did you and your partner meet?

Re: How did you and your partner meet?
I will never look at a subway counter the same.
In high school. A friend of mine asked me to talk to DH for her. I went to talk to him but didn't want to give him up. I talked to him for myself. We have been together ever since. Needless to say me and the friend aren't friends anymore!
My DH worked with my best friend/roommate at a new restaurant that had just opened. My best friend started dating his roommate (who also worked there). One night I was at the restaurant and when we were leaving, my roommate invited my DH to come hang out with us. He almost declined, but I was like "really, you should!", and so he did.
I spent the rest of the evening getting really really tipsy and ignoring everyone else but him.
I met Hubby at a safety conference in Seaside , OR in October 2001. (We are both safety geeks) He was there for work and I was there with for school. We hit it off at one of the "socials" and hung out the rest of the conference. He went back to Seattle and I went back to Butte, MT but we kept in touch and things went from there.
When I graduated in May 2002, I moved out to WA to be closer to him. We moved in together in March 2003, bought our house in October 2004, engaged Feb 2005 and married September 9, 2005. We added the Peanut in Feb 2007 and now Babe in Dec 2009.
Love reading all the stories!
We went to the same high school. He is 4 years older than me. He was a senior when I was a freshman. We weren't good friends or anything but we knew eachother.
Then we met up like 10 years after highschool and got together. We had some mutual friends and hung out in some of the same places so our paths crossed a few times after school.
We met on Eharmony too!! I saw the commercials late one night and I thought "what the hell"... and when I got his profile I knew he was it! Our first date lasted about 10 hours!! We moved in 4 months after, got engaged to months after that, and we were married a year and half after we met! Best money ever spent! ;-)
(Actually I was lame and even put our "success story" on their website... )
At a Halloween party hosted by some mutual friends.

We met on my birthday in 2006 through a video/voice-chat program online where I was a moderator. I saw he was from England and heard him speaking on the mic so I thought I would compliment his accent. He insisted he didn't have one and 6 weeks later he got on a plane for the first time to fly to the States to visit. We decided after the first visit to give a LDR a shot and after several visits back and forth, we got engaged, I moved to the UK and we married in November 2008.
We weren't planning on starting a family until after I had citizenship, but got the news over Easter that we were expecting. We think it was just meant to be!
THe very first time I met DH was when I was in between freshman and Sophmore year of high school. His parents had just moved into my neighborhood and he was home for summer break between his freshman and Soph. year of college. The neighborhood always has this huge crawfish boil. I remember my best friend and I thinking he was just so full of himself. Fast forward about 5 years (10 years ago). The neighborhood had come together to landscape the front entrance. My IL's house is right at the front entrance of the neighborhood. I took my siblings and our black lab for a walk to see what our parents were doing. DH was home from training for the weekend and outside when we walked up. My mom every the match maker says, "Laice you remember Ed don't you." We started talking and hit it off. He came by the house that night to see if I wanted to get a bite to eat. I unfortunately was working. I called him the next day and we got lunch before he headed back to Pensacola. We've been together ever since. Monday is our 7 year wedding anniversay.
We met at the wedding of a mutual friend. So cliche, I know.
Actually, though, we'd met three years earlier, through that same mutual friend, but I don't remember it because I was about 36 sheets to the wind that night. I was visiting said mutual friend and we were at a bar and ran into DH and his girlfriend at the time. DH and our friend were both teachers at the same school. Apparently, we sat down and chatted with DH and his girlfriend and I regaled them with all sorts of drunken college tales about our friend, with whom I'd been roommates. I don't remember any of this. Three years later, said friend was getting married and both DH - who was now single - and I were going to be at the wedding, so he asked our friend to make sure to re-introduce us. He'd remembered me from three years earlier - how sweet! So we were re-introduced at the wedding and I had no idea who he was or any memory of previously meeting him and, at first, had absolutely no interest in him whatsoever. But then I noticed he had a cute butt and decided, eh... what the hell? The rest, as they say, is history!
We went to Jr. High and High School together but were never really friends. I dated his cousin in high school and he dated my best friend. My freshmen year of college we started talking at a party. His old g/f was actually my roomate at the time. It was a little akward the next day when he called the dorm looking for me and she answered!
My husband and I are fans/season ticket holders for the local JR hockey team. We met at training camp 2006 (early Sept). We were just fans chatting it up. We both went on a few fan bus road trips that fall. By about Christmas time, I was interested, but I thought he was too young for me, so I just left things be. That New Years, we went on another road trip and he had wanted to ask me out, but he chickened out.
In March 2007, we were both going to go on another bus trip (with other friends as our travel partners), when his partner backed out. He didn't want to have to pay extra for a single room, so my friend and I both suggested that he stay with us in our room. I got on the bus and saved a seat for my friend, when he got on and asked if he could sit with me. I couldn't say no, so, when my friend arrived she had to sit behind me. While we were on the neverending bus ride, my friend asked me how my love life was... I said "looking up...I have some prospects". She asked who and I told her the one guys name that I had been out with a few times and said " and >>>" pointing to Kyle sitting beside me. She just laughed! Anyways, we were going to Pittsburg to see the Pens vs. Flyers and when we crossed the border, my seatmate sneaked a peek at my birthdate on my passport (turns out I am 10 yrs older). He didn't care about the age difference. We got together that weekend and he moved in at the beginning of June 2007.
Nov 2007, we bought our house, Dec 2007 we got engaged at dinner before a Buffalo Sabres game, Nov 2008 we had a hockey themed wedding and Nov 2009 we will have our first child. My family always joked that I would NEVER find a guy who loved hockey as much as I do. They have come to see that someone (my DH) actually loves it more! We are perfect for eachother! He's been out of town all week and writing this story makes me realize just how much I missed him. Can't wait to see him tonight!!!
Our story is sooooo WT compared to all of y'all's!!
I was one of the best "men" in my friend's wedding in Indiana, so I flew up there for the bachelor party. I told the groom that I would go under one circumstance: that he got me some booty at the bachelor party! I was in a really bad place, because one of my best friends had just died very suddenly, and I needed a pick-me-up, and a Thursday to Tuesday man-whore was just what I needed
Well, the groom came through... except that by Sunday we agreed that DH would move here to Texas (after he wouldn't let me move to Indiana)... two years later, we were engaged... a year and a half after that, we got married... and our baby is due 2 months before our second wedding anniversary!
*Funny side note: I actually met DH 2 years before I met him! The groom that introduced us drove from IN to New Orleans for my college graduation, and brought his new girlfriend (now his wife) and their friend (now my husband)... we all spent the ENTIRE evening together (which went until 7am) ... and I have no memory of either of them!!
Also, the middle name we have picked out for a boy is the last name of the couple that introduced us.
Does anybody have any ideas how we can explain to the LB how Mama and Daddy met?
Through a mutual friend. I brought my new puppy to her house and he was there. He didn't say a word to me...not hello, goodbye nothing. Played with the dog all night. I thought he was a jerk, he said he knew we would get married.
And here we are.
