Re: just for fun.....
I'm so glad there've been a couple good GTKY questions this afternoon. It's helping distract from my horrible mood.
I actually met my husband at the pool in our neighborhood. We both owned townhomes about 200 feet from one another. We were both in relationships at the time, but both were drawn to the other. Soooo, the next summer we were BOTH looking for one another since we were single and didn't remember where the other lived. We saw each other again early in June, 2006, went out the next day and every day after that and were married on July 28, 2007. When ya know ya know!!!

We met in the grocery store, in line at the deli counter, in 2008. Got engaged and eloped in 2010.
Thanks to OP for starting this thread. It was fun to think about good memories with DH for a change.
We met through a mutual friend in college. I had no idea he had a crush on me, and while I thought he was cute, I didn't think of him as more than a friend; in fact, I was dating someone else at the time. Fast forward a few months, and the guy I was dating and I had broken things off, and DH and I ended up getting really drunk together at a party and hooked up. I thought we had totally ruined our friendship, but he asked me out on a real date the next day and the rest is history.
Drunken hookup turned happily ever after.

Just keep swimming.
That's awesome ... They say it happens when you least expect it!
I wrote a blog post about one of my neighbors, in a roundabout way. I went to track him down on Facebook to let him know about it so he wasn't caught off guard. He was not a member of our building's group page, but another neighbor I had only said hello in passing was. He had great taste in music, so I friend-requested him. The next weekend, we hung out for the first time in person. Six months of great friendship later, we were deeply in love.
We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

My husband is from Arkansas, he joined the military was sent to CT where i lived. He ended up coming to the church my family and I went to. My stepdad worked at the shipyard and recognized him from work so had him over for lunch. I don't remember that because I was just a kid! He is eleven years older than me. Fast forward years later and I am 17 and our families have had a growing friendship over the years. He had got a job in Arkansas after getting out of the military. He proposed, I got on a plane, landed in Arkansas and married him.

So fun! I love how different everyone's stories are.
We met the first weekend of college, at my dorm's talent show. Him and his friend were in a ska band, and played a song. He had blue hair and thrift store clothing, but I still thought he was cute
He had a girl friend, though, and I became friends with his whole group of friends. We almost got together a couple times over the next few years, but timing wasn't right until senior year of college. We both say the good thing about George W Bush getting reelected is that it's the night we reconnected. We started dating November 2004, and were married in December 2006.
I agree w/ PP, this makes me feel all mooshy romantic

I love this post!
My DH and I met in church. He and his family sat in the pew directly behind me for a couple years before we even talked. His mom actually tried to hook me up with his brother, but he wasn't my type. My mom said to me, "you aren't going to like him, but his brother is more your type." Yep she was right.
I thought he was cute, but he didn't even know who I was (yet he sure knew I had a butterfly tattoo on my lower back lol). His sister and my cousin were best friends, so I told them to hook me up. They did, and the rest is history. We started dating in August 2009. We got engaged in April 2010, and were married on June 18, 2011.

How did you ever forgive him?
I know I'm a little late to the game...
I met the hubs on a blind date. My BFF was going to marry one of his friends and we were going to be walking down the aisle together. Her logic for why he was perfect for me was, "You guys are the funniest people I know." Even when I dated someone else, she would say, "When you break up with soandso, you have to meet Mike." I didn't even want to go on the date but my mom made saying, "It's just dinner-not like you have to marry him."
BFP#1 - 11/13/11, Natural MC - 12/24/11 at 12 weeks
BFP#2 - 10/2/12, Please be our rainbow.
great thread. Sorry this is long, I'm a detail girl.
I met my DH in Aug 2006 when we both attended the training camp for our local hockey team. We talked off and on at games for a few months. That December we went on a road trip to see our team play a couple of hours away (in a big group, not together). We sat near eachother at dinner, I was interested but really shy and knew I was older than him.
Fast forward a to the weekend of March 4, 2007. We went on a bus trip to see the Philadelphia Flyers play the Pittsburg Penguins in Pittsburg. Again, we weren't going together, just in a big group. I was rooming with a girlfriend and he was supposed to stay with one of his buddies. At the last minute his buddy backed out, so my friend and I said he could stay with us, the rooms had 2 double beds and my friend and I were ok with sharing, if it meant that DH could come.
On the bus trip down, I was the first to board the bus, my gf was going to be boarding at another stop, and I was saving a seat for her, but before we left the first stop DH boarded and asked to sit with me. I couldn't refuse. My gf was a great sport and sat right behind him. My future DH was very sneaky and when we crossed the border and he had to hand my ID to the border patrol, he checked my DOB. I knew I was older, but not until later that weekend did I learn I was 10 years older! Anyway, but the end of that weekend DH and I were inseparable.
He moved into my place that June, he bought my engagement ring in August, we bought out house in November 2008 and he proposed at the Flyers/Sabres game on Dec 21, 2008. We were married Nov 1, 2008 and had our DS on Nov 11, 2009.
Holy poop! That is so crazy! We just did a JP thing but it was the best way for us. Then we just had a huge party to celebrate.
How fun!
DH and I both belonged to a leadership training organization. He was a member in AZ and I was a member in CA. We met at our national convention in September 2003. Our paths crossed several times over the week (and we are in some of the same group pictures from the event) but but we did not talk until Saturday night. We emailed and talked on the phone for a few months until he finally came out for a real date December 20th. We were engaged just a few months later in April 2004 and married June 11, 2005.
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!
DH and I are both from the same state, but we met in a completely different state at church one morning. I was living with my sister and her husband for the summer, and he was there for an internship. An internship that he wasn't even supposed to have. He was supposed to be working for a company in our home state, but the deal fell through. A friend told him he could get him a job at a company, and a week later there he was.
Because of the great "Snow"vember of 2015, my medicated cycle was cancelled. However, we were blessed with our little rainbow baby due on 8/14/15! Baby J had other plans and decided to make his grand ole entrance on 7/4/2015!
Surprise! Our little girl entered this world on 12/8/2016 after her eviction notice was long past due. Our little turkey baby turned into a snow baby!
We met on Match.com 11 years ago, back when meeting people online was just becoming popular. My mom thought I was crazy.
