MrsMiller1002 · February 2011

I figured it would be fun to share our stories on how we meet the wonderful guys that partook in giving us these little love bugs Wink

I meet DH back in middle school, we were friends al the way till the end of highschool. we reconnected the summer after we graduated and have been together ever since. Smile

dollydagger · February 2011

We met when we were 15 at the mall lol His friends and him were apparently following my friends and me. When we were going upstairs on the escalator (they of course were behind us) and when I went to step up I tripped and fell backwards. He was behind me and caught me Big Smile

We've been together since then!

Big Smile DH and I met in college. He was a year above me, and we were friends for my freshman year. We started dating in November 1998 -- right before Thanksgiving of my sophomore year. We've been together since...

MrsMiller1002 · February 2011

aww! I love these stories! Smile

Galaxy8227 · February 2011

We were introduced by a mutual friend at TGI Fridays one night when I was in college. We became good friends, and then about 3 years later we started dating

Skibunny07 · February 2011

We met in college. I was a sophomore and he was a junior. I lived a floor above him. I actually was kind of dating one of his roommates and he was kind of dating one of mine. Both of those ended and a couple of months later we kind of hooked up (aka made out whilst drunk). That happened a couple more times and then when the school year ended we started talking every night on IM and then I started to go and visit him every weekend and the rest is history! haha

We actually had quite a few of the same friends, but had never met (we went to different high schools). He claims that he said hi to me one night at a gas station and I blew him off...I don't remember that! I started working part time at the place where he was a manager in 2003, he drove me nuts! He picked on me all the time, if I made a price sign he made me sign the back of it, in case there was a mistake that they would hold me accountable, not true! We'd go to parties at the same houses and talk every once in a while, but I still didn't really care for him. One night he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him after work, I didn't have other plans so I said sure. We had a blast, he was very sweet, it ended up that he was very shy and liked me but didn't know how to show it (typical boy!) and we have been together ever since, it'll be 7 years on March 26th!

rien713 · February 2011

I was casually dating a friend of his. And apparently I wasn't very good at hiding my interest, lol. Friend basically told me to go for DH and went to work setting us up. Fun coincidence: that friend's fiancee is due the day after I am. Crazy how things work out sometimes.

SarahPLiz · February 2011

E-Harmony. We were each other's first matches. We had our 1st date a week after our initial match, and the rest is history.

tourqeyes · February 2011

We met at a party he was throwing.

kelann2010 · February 2011

MH's sister actually introduced us! I worked as a student employee for his sister at the university bookstore and she set us up! It was perfect and I wouldn't change it for the world!!

AKBrideinMD · February 2011

We met at work while I was still in high school, but went to different high schools. I was 17 and he was 19.

SarahRuthG · February 2011

A mutual friend set us up almost 5 years ago. I met her when I began a new job and within days she said she had a friend to set me up with, I with my ex bf at the time. She repeated told me that over a year and half, while I was still with my ex! Finally that trainwreck of a relationship ended and about 6 months later I went to the friend's bday party (I had met H once at another party but didn't talk to him for more then 3 minutes). He asked to take me to dinner sometime at that party. To be honest I was totally avoiding meeting him. I didn't want to be a in a relationship, I was happy single and really busy with work and school. But I agreed and after a date the next weekend we were together ever since. We moved in together after 6 months because he lived almost 1 and 1/2 hours away from me and it was putting strain on the relationship. But he was so smitten be bought a house in a town near me and begged me to live with him. I agreed

StefandTodd · February 2011

A mutual friend (co-worker of mine at my first career/out-of-college job - good friend of his from college) introduced us and insisted we would be a great pair. Given that he was a good personal friend of each of ours separately, I think it really helped us both feel totally comfortable with each other and open about what we wanted. So, we moved in together after 5 months, were engaged 7 months after that. We were both 25 when we met (and I'll be 30 tomorrow).

MrsCase1 · February 2011

My husband was waiting toables through college and he was my server at dinner one night. I thought he was super annoying because he would not leave our table alone. Short of calling the manager over, I found him entirely too pushy. Ha! Last laugh belongs to him since his tenacity obviously won me over! Smile

jdeats12 · February 2011

We met because we were both members of the Board of Directors for a local charity;)

lj smith · February 2011

I met DH in high school.We had marching band and German class together. We were friends from sophomore year on. We started dating right before homecoming of senior year. We've been together ever since!

jess!ca · February 2011

We met at work. We ended up doing a lot of meetings together and after a while started going out to dinner afterwards.

HisBabyMama011 · February 2011

Heh..everyone has such "nice" stories! Lol! We through his ex/my friend on a friday afternoon when I was taking a bunch of ppl to a night club in my car! We hooked up, was supposed to be a one night stand....turned into a weekend things, lead to a great friendship, I moved in, we told each other over and over that we are NOT dating, just having fun...lying to ourselves! We were on another weekend excursion a few months later in a hotel room where we had stayed with a friend and his GF and he took me on a long walk and he spilled the beans about how he had fallen so in love with me and I told him the same...lol! Not really typical romantic but that is how we met! Here we are 3 1/2 years later, never been apart for more then a really long work day (12-15 hours) since day one, best friends, madly in love over and over again each day and engaged with our baby on the way and couldn't be happier!

Lauren6277 · February 2011

We met on eHarmony. I had been on the site before and gave up. After a solo vacation, I gave it one more try. We were matched my first week back.

Since he lived in Madison and I lived in Green Bay, we commuted each weekend (about a two hour drive) for two years. I moved in with him in November 2009, we were engaged in April 2010, moved to Boston in July, married in October and pregnant in December.

kimwinn · February 2011

My mom and dad introduced us. We just hung out and got to know each other for a year or so, then started talking about getting engaged. It kind of just happened, so I guess we really were dating for that year.

ashleyhuney · February 2011

We met online 12 years ago, I think it was through ICQ random chat

We were 16, lived in opposite ends of the same state and went to the same winter camp. We were platonic friends for years and finally met when we were out of HS. It was instant chemistry and we dated long distance for a while before I broke up with him because I was moving to NYC for college and I wanted to be free to have fun. We somehow stayed good friends and as time went by we were on the phone for hours daily after I got home from partying. I had an epiphany moment where I realized I was no longer wanting to go out because I really didn't want to find other guys because I was still in love with DH. I moved directly from NYC to where he lived, engaged 8 months later, married a year after that and had DS #1 four years after that. Seventh anniversary is in a few months

tiffyspiffy1012 · February 2011

My husband and I were graduate students in New York and Florida, respectively, and we met as summer interns in Arizona! He was dating a girl named Tiffany back home (my name), and I was dating a guy named Chris back home (his name), and we fell in love with each other that summer and realized we were with the wrong Tiffany and Chris! We believe the stars aligned and our love was meant to me and have been happily together for nearly 6 years now!

Shaynnon · February 2011

DH & I met at the Playboy Mansion. No joke. I was living and going to school in Los Angeles, and worked for Playboy as a "VIP Cabana Hostess" but read: bottle service/cocktail waitress.

DH's cousin had rented out the Mansion to host a product launch party and so DH & his brother JUMPED at the opportunity to be able to see and party at the iconic Playboy Mansion.

DH & I met but he had a group of girls following him around all night (his shirt mysteriously "fell off" too at one point) so I didn't take him seriously especially since he lived in Seattle! By the end of the night though he had somehow persuaded me to give him my number (in 2+ years working for PB I'd given out my real number 3x).

We started talking daily, for hours, and a few months later he convinced me to visit him in Seattle. Rest is history. We got engaged a month later and were married within a year.

I do wish now though that instead of me moving to Seattle (which seemed easier at the time), he had moved to LA!!

brwneydtexasgal · February 2011

By chance we met at a bar where we were both visiting friends(not the same friends). We exchanged phone numbers and a few weeks later we decided to date long distance. Only a couple of months later, a few trips between NM and TX and some very expensive phone bills DH proposed and we got married

plumag · February 2011

We met the second day of college. I knew absolutely no one and randomly introduced myself to a gal. We chatted and she invited me to come hang out in her room. He lived in the next room down the hall

We started dating a few weeks later and voila! still together 14 years later.

B&R+A=love · February 2011

DH and I met while he was home from college the summer after his freshman year. We both were doing tech for a community summer theatre arts program he was into another girl and I was casually dating a few other guys. We were both really flirty with each other but everybody is flirty in theatre. LOL. There was an opening night cast party and we ended up hooking up. We both figured it would end once he went back to school at the end of summer. We went on a weekend trip to his college and after that we both realized that we actually liked each other and that was five years ago.

lob · February 2011

We meet in graduate school. I was 24 and he was 29 (I'm now 31). We meet at a campus mixer for graduate students. I was working on my MA/PhD in History and he was working on his PhD in Genetics.

Ripli · February 2011

We met after I graduated college and came to America (from my home of England) to do a working summer at a vacation center (basically a summer camp for seniors)

He was taking the summer off from school to save money for college. He basically stalked me around the camp and wouldn't give up pestering me until I went to a party with him, where I got roaring drunk, kissed him and then sobered up and fled. Ignored him for a week before he came up to me and said "midnight tonight, and I'm not taking no for an answer" he knocked on my door at midnight and took me to this place out in the woods he'd set up with blankets, candles and wine. We got eaten alive by the mosquitoes but were inseperable after that. A week later he wanted me to meet his family and 5 weeks later he asked me to move in with him! It was all a little fast for me so I put the brakes on, knowing that I had to go home to England at the end of the summer and this couldn't ever really come to anything. I didn't bank on falling on love with him. 9 days after I'd flown back to England, he showed up on my doorstep. We carried on flying back and forth for the next 12 months until he asked me to marry him. We were married 8 months later and have been together for 9 years, expecting our first baby this August.

Same! DH met after doing E-Harmony for a few weeks and hit it off right away!

mama livingston · February 2011

We met in Sunday School at church. I was sitting in front of him and interupted him by accident, and that afternoon there was a baptism that we both stayed for. It turned out that the only seat left when I got into the baptism room was next to him, so I sat down and said I was sorry for interupting him, and asked him what his name was. he old me and asked me mine, and then he smiled and that was it!!!! That night I called around to 5 or 6 people that I thought might have some information on him and one of the people actually gave me his e-mail address, so I bit the bullet and e-mailed. To my surprise he e-mailed me back within a day or so, and then we e-mailed all that week and that following Sunday at church he sat next to me, and I told him after church was finished that I my following weekend plans had fallen through and that I was just happened to be free the coming Saturday. He said that he'd have to fix that and sure enough he did, we went out for our first date on May 16, 2009, we proposed Nov. 28, 2009, were married Dec. 31, 2009 and found out we were pregnant Dec. 21, 2010!!!!! I love him so much!!! I'm so lucky to be his wife!

AlwaysAforeigner · February 2011

We met back in 1996 (we were still in highschool, each of us at a different highschool), through a mutual friend. Weren't in touch until 1998, when we re-met again in college, dated for a month and then split.

We remained friends (sometimes with benefits Party!!! ), until 2006 when he had to leave our home country and go to the U.S. to work on his PhD. In 2007 he realized that he loved me (I think I never stopped loving him since we broke up in 1998 - sad, I know) and in 2008 we got married and I also came to work on my PhD in the States.

MrsMiller1002 · February 2011

omg!! You all have such cute stories! Now I must go into detail with mine!

I was dating his friend for 2 years in Middleschool/highschool. Me and my ex were on the rocks and I'd talk to DH for "guy advice" we talked for a good month and I ended up breaking it off it my ex. The very next day DH asked me out after school and we started "going out" I was 14 and a freshman hahaha! 24 hours after that I broke up with DH bc "I couldnt do it." ahahaha! we we're party friends and always talked during those old crazy highschool parties Wink we had all the same friends and we're alway around each other but I never thought of him as dating type. He went from girl to girl girl. after we graduated we reconnected and begun to hang out every weekend as friends. I was on the rocks with a serious bf and again he convinced me I deserved better. I broke up the the bf and we started hanging out everyday. after a month he finally asked me out (I was 19, him 18) after 2 days he told me loved me, and 2 weeks after that he gave me a promise ring. I knew everything was happening so fast so, But I ever felt the love like he gives me. 2 months after that... he proposed. I know I know, so soon but it was all so right. We decided that we'd wait on tying the knot until we we're together for while. We waited 2 years before getting married. We begun dating one October, 1 2008 and we're married October, 2 2010. Found out we we're 4 weeks pregnant on Dec. 26 2010 Smile
