H was hired to work security at the hospital I was working at in January. I wouldn't date him right away because it wasn't a real career.
We hung out all the time at work, he was finished with his second BA after 7 years in the army and was looking for a career job, but was coming up short and needed an income, which is why he took the security job. We flirted heavily but still didn't actually date.
We went out with some friends one Saturday night, the first weekend of June, got hammered, started making out while dancing in a gay club after hours.
We even had sex in his car that night.
We went camping sun thru tues and literally have been inseparable since.
Two weeks after we hired up he got the call from a major company that he was hired and needed to be there the first of July, 1600 miles away.
I started looking for jobs right away, but didn't really tell him I was considering moving cross country to be with him.
The night before he left he said he loved me.
He wanted me to come with him, but I had to pack up and leave my job, etc.
We were apart one month before I was able to join him, but I did.
We're stupid happy together.
I tried to get our first pic, but I'm having technical difficulties.

Awww that is so sweet!

I've known DH since first grade. On the first day of school told his mom "Miss Hall is a fox!" I think it's safe to say I wasn't on his radar then. We became friends sometime between 4th and 6th grade (we were both "smart kids" so we had lots of the same classes) and stayed friends throughout high school and college. I had a serious bf my last year or so of high school that I broke up with during my first year of college.

DH and I started talking more, but still as friends (we were at different colleges), online and on the phone throughout our second and third years of college and hung out over Thanksgiving break our junior year of college. That went well so we hung out over Christmas break and made it official the day after Christmas 6 years ago. We got engaged the following August, and married 8-1-09.

Here's one of the earliest pics I have of us. DH looks like a 12 year old!

I met DH on our first day of college. I've loved him ever since basically. We were best friends right of the bat and started dating by our first midterms. We've been married 2 1/2 years now

Here's our first picture together on the first night we met. We look so young! We were at a photo scavenger hunt and decided to snap a quick pic

oh and I had braces!!! Ugh!

DH and I actually went to the same Elementary, Middle, and High School. The only reason, why I spoke to him in high school, was because my friend want to prank call him. Finally, in college we started actually talking, then we started dating about a year later. We we dated for 6 years, engaged for 2, and married for 1. We tend to drag our feet when it comes to making life changing decisions. I think getting pregnant so fast was God's way of saying "lets speed it up kids!"

As far as our first picture, I wish I had it. One day while going through my old school supplies my dad found a GEM of a picture. It was of our Sixth Grade graduation. Oddly enough DH is standing right behind me. The best part is my facial expression in the picture. I looked SO nervous (graduating sixth grade, big deal), my face seriously looks like I'm trying to hold in a fart. So imagine a cubby Hispanic girl with that expression. Classic find. DH looks super cute in the picture though.

I was an auditor at a company that he worked for. He would come into our office often to sign paperwork. I thought he was nice but didn't really pay much attention to him because I was engaged to my long time boyfriend. My fiancé cheated big time on me and my future husband found out I had called off the engagement because my dumb-ass ex kept showing up to my work with gifts and flowers.

My husband kindly offered to call my ex/stalker and pretend to be my new boyfriend. And then his paper work started to come back wrong and I had to call him into the office over and over again... After about 2 months of this he finally asked me out and after the first date (in which we both showed up wearing blue Converses) I stopped dating other people.

While talking on the phone with him during our first week together he told me he had a dream that he had proposed but he woke up before I answered, I told him I probably said no and broke up with him because that's crazy talk. I would not marry someone until we had been together for at the least 6 month.

6 months later he proposed for real and I said yes. (That part of the story is a little embarrassing on my part- he did it on a bridge, in the rain. Shortly before he pulled out the ring I was complaining about standing on a bridge, in the rain and asking "shouldn't we head back to the car?")

We were married one month before our one year anniversary. And we both wore blue Converses in the wedding.

chelsdeutsch · October 2013

I met my baby daddy (DH) when I was on a date with his friend. His friend was SUPER boring and SO shy. I talked to his brother and my DH more because he wouldn't even talk to me! He would text me when sitting right next to me. After I was dropped off DH texted me and said "yeah.... I think we get along better, wanna hang out?" Haha! 2 years later we had DS1, three years after that got married!

@Kfran84 thank you for the compliment Where's your first date picture, lady? I want to see you "slooting" it up for your booty-call-turned-hubby

@dapostrophe

Hope this mobile upload works.

I was interning in DC, so we were talking on the phone and emailing all day, every day. He came to visit me in DC for the 4th- This was the first night he told me he loved me, about 6 weeks after our first, um, "date"

Ages 21 & 23... 7+ years ago.

My friend met DH initially. She tells me he's cute and seems nice and that I should go ask to borrow a blender as an excuse to meet him since he lives in the apartment across from mine. I tell my friend, "I'm not asking a stranger to borrow a blender." Any who.... weeks pass and a girlfriend of mine is visiting and were leaving my apartment to go out to a club. My friend that told me about DH is also with us and when we walk pass DH's apartment he is outside hanging out on his porch. My friend that told me stops and says hello to DH and introduces us. Immediately I was attracted to him. Come to find out DH and his buddies were going to the same club and I tell DH maybe we will see you there. So my friends and I go to the club and sure enough I see DH and we were inseparable all night! 10 years together, 4 married, and now a son on the way, amazing!

gwenneh · October 2013

Internets.

We were just friends, had exchanged a few messages on an early social networking site. I was at college, engaged, whole wedding planned with a dress bought & deposits paid. He lived 3,500 miles away in another country. All totally innocent.

One day he mentioned he'd be coming over to vacation in NYC to see a band he liked, and he wanted to order a guitar to take back with him (he's a musician) since the seller wouldn't ship to the UK. I agreed to hold said guitar for him until we could meet up.

I met him, and instantly, 100% knew he was The One and anything else would be a dreadful, dreadful mistake. I went home, called off the wedding, broke up with my fiancé and proceeded headlong into the new relationship. That was 10 years ago. I've never looked back.

I'd never have met him if it weren't for the guitar, either. It was the week of midterms, I was exhausted, he was just some guy. The week he proposed we were so broke we had to sell everything to make rent, including the guitar...but a year later, after we were married, he found it again on eBay (it is partially custom) and it now hangs in our house.

Lolasky · October 2013

Seriously....these stories are waayyy more entertaining than anything on TV right now (insomnia). Some of your stories can easily be great movies. I would literally pay money to go see these movies.

Now I'll just sit here and figure out a way I can 'tweak' our meeting story so our LOs don't get bored listening when they ask us about it. There's nothing wrong with that right?

No first pictures guys??? I need visuals!

Here are some pics. Nothing from our first date, but I have Prom (May 2009), the other picture is from the "last hurrah" vacation we took in July before LO gets here (I was 24ish weeks PG).

Vcurrado · October 2013

In 2009 my BFF was throwing a birthday party for her husbands friend (DH) whom I'd never met before. Agreed to come last minute, instant connection but we were both just out if long term relationships so we both weren't looking for anything at the time, until we saw each other again 2 months later and have been together ever since! Together for 5yrs and married for 1.

Pic is actually from our first date at the CN tower in Toronto under a gazebo, and it happens to be the same spot where he proposed!

Maimes10 · October 2013

OH, I wanna play!

We met at a bar, I was there as part of a wedding party for a batchelorette party. The bride had one of those annoying shirts where you had to do stuff and check off a box. MH had recently started bartending there but he was there as a patron. At a certain point of drunkeness, the gals decided it would be easier to get guys to do the deeds if we buried the pen in my cleavage (I have BIG tata's...I'm 5'3", about 120lbs and have DD's). Well, the bride knew my husband and decided rather than using his hands he should use his mouth to get the pen. He took care of one item on the shirt and then I went back and made him do it again...classy eh? To this day I am AMAZED that he did it because he is a pretty shy, quiet guy, we are total opposites in that way! 10 years later (married for 3) here we are expecting our first. He says he never thought it would last because I smoked.

I've said for years that we are going to have to come up with a cleaner story to tell our child that doesn't make his momma look like a giant HOOKAH!

Mytaras · October 2013

I love all your stories!

I met DH my first day of work as a receptionist at a car dealership. He was a manager and the second I saw him I melted. He went into his friends office and said 'see that new receptionist, I'm gunna marry her one day.' Our first date was at a bar after work, then we went to different waterfalls in the area a few times after. Everything fell into place.

lamo1210 · October 2013

The stories where the husbands say they are gonna marry you all someday makes me jealous! It's super sweet.

mbafall09 · October 2013

Great idea! Love reading everyone's stories. Mine's kind of long (and maybe a little cheesy!).

We met on our second day at college (August 2002) we lived in the same building one floor apart. A group of us were hanging out in someone's room, I was sitting on the floor and he handed me a pillow. I was hooked immediately. He was really nice, taller than me and physically what I had always thought was what I would want. Sounds really of pathetic, but I pretty much decided then that he could be the one. He was more interested in a girl from home though, and we became great friends through college (minus the few months we basically didn't talk after I admitted my feelings for him after he broke up with the girl from home, he led me on for a week that he was interested and then decided he wasn't).

The summer after graduation (2006) one of my friends from college was getting married, and she wanted me to bring a date because no one else that I knew was going to be there. DH was still in Connecticut finishing up a few classes so I asked if he would go with me. He did, and we kept in touch after he got back home (we grew up only about an hour from each other). Finally at the end of the summer (and a few days before I moved to Boston for grad school) he admitted that he felt "something." He came to visit me in Boston, and finally acknowledged we were dating in the spring. He supported me through the craziness of grad school, and I moved back home to PA after graduation to be closer to him in NJ. We got engaged the following January (2009), and in less that 3 weeks we will celebrate our 4th anniversary perhaps with our LO here with us.

fitmama418 · October 2013

How I met DH is pretty interesting (at least to most people we tell).

We went to the same college in PA...but never met while we were there. My first semester there was his last; he dropped out to join the Navy. In a serendipitous twist of fate, however, I ended up making friends with his circle of friends and had always heard them talking about him throughout my 3 years there. Then I graduated and went on to grad school in Jersey.

One weekend in March, I went back to my undergrad for the weekend to meet up with those old friends and go out boozin'. That same weekend, DH was actually up visiting from his station in Norfolk/Virginia Beach to see the same old friends. That's where we first came face-to-face in the bar. His first words to me were, "hey you're cute..go dance with my buddy Dan over there and make him look good." I already knew Dan so I obliged. That was the only interaction we had that night.

A few weeks later, the gang started planning our annual camping trip; both me and DH were invited and RSVP'ed as yes on the Facebook group. Some shameless flirting ensued when I asked if I could share a tent with somebody and he piped up. We talked on Facebook the whole night and then the next morning he asked for my phone number...and texted me within 2 minutes of having it (I had him hooked). ;-) After 3 weeks of flirty texts, 4 hour long phone calls, Skype dates...I blew an entire retail paycheck on a plane ticket to Virginia Beach to spend the weekend with him and so we could have our first date. He "asked me to be his girlfriend" the day I got there (so 7th grade...I know).

And yes, we smushed right away. So for anyone who thinks having sex that early means the man doesn't want to keep you around for a while, I can safely say you are dead wrong. After almost 5 and a half years together and a year of marriage we are still happy as can be (and still have a spicy sex life...well...pre pregnancy we did). ;-)

This is us the morning after I got there...April 2008.

Man, we look like babies. Anyway...that's our story! I love you, bubs!

Qston · October 2013

Wow. What an awesome collection of stories, mamas!

I'll try and share a quick one. DH and I met in college, we were in the same program, but didn't get to know each other until the last semester, when we had more classes together. I had been in a horribly unhealthy relationship for 3+ years and it finally fell apart right about the time school was wrapping up.

Our culmination of school was a portfolio show just limited to our dept. After portfolio show I invited a bunch of friends from class to a cabin up north to celebrate and relax and skip our graduation. ( I just thought of him as a friend at this point) only he and 2 other friends agreed to come along, and I didn't know him super well, but got excited that he was coming, realizing he could be "potential" - and a nice distraction from relationship that was just ending. First night, he and another friend shared a room (2 twin beds) and I was convinced he wasn't interested in me after all. the next night he and I stayed up all night talking, and holding hands until the sun came up... I don't think we kissed until the next day. We were both surprisingly responsible in the beginning. The rest as they say, is history. That was May 2004, we bought a house together in November, got married 6 years later in 2010, and now having our first baby! I'll hold his hand til the sun goes down.

jennifertewart · October 2013

Fun!

I met DH at a popular bar at college it was know for its country themed thursday night (the only day of the week to go to it) I ended up going with a bunch of my guy friends last minuet. My friends kind of ditched me to hit on girls so I was sitting at a table by myself... DH approached me and asked why I wasn't dancing, I don't exactly remember what we said to each other but that short conversation ended with DH saying "I am going to go smoke but if you are still sitting here when I get back we can dance". Prince Charming! I wasn't doing anything so I stayed put until he got back. I always tell he he was lucky he was cute or else I would have moved tables lol Also I met a country boy at a country bar!

artistlife · October 2013

DH and I met through my brother. I had recently been stationed at a Naval Reserve base in the same area that I grew up in. My family all still lived there so I moved back home from GA in June 05. My step-brother had just passed away in February. We were really close and he had lived near me in GA. I started spending more time with my blood brother when I returned.

DH worked with my brother and lived in the same apartment complex. When I would go to my brothers place, DH would always be there.

I thought he was the biggest douche-canoe. He was constantly cracking jokes on my brothers other friend that I had had a crush on since I was a kid. Well, after some time I started to realize he was only doing it because the other guy was messing with him, too.

Then, my niece turned one. DH came with my brother to her birthday party. DH spent the entire party playing with all the kids. I fell in love that day. We went out as a group that night and DH and I spent the night making up back stories for all the weird, drunk people. I asked him out when he walked m to my car. We went on our first date on Halloween night. We spent every available moment together after that.

Three weeks later I went back to GA for a wedding, he called me the next day saying he was on a street in the GA town I was in and needed to know how to get to me. When he got to my friends house he told me how much h loved me and he couldn't stand to be away from me for a whole week. I later found out he made a 3 hour drive in 2 hours and got two speeding tickets.

Eight years later, here we are married for five years and expecting #2.

[Deleted User] · October 2013

DH and I "met" at a party I went to with my at the time on again off again bf's sister ( I'm sensing a theme with some of us) haha....we were both wasted so had no memory of actually meeting. But I myspaced a bunch of her friends that night including him. Both of us listed our favorite tv show as 24 and he msg me to comment on that. Also commented on my pic saying I looked hot like a hot potatoe. Yup he is still corny. Anyway he was living In Houston at the time and I was at school in ny where he was from. We talked everyday for over a month for hours getting to know each other. Then he invited me on a road trip from Houston to ny. I agreed to fly to Georgia to visit a friend and let him pick me up there. He told his mom before he even saw me in person that I was the one. We slept together our first night, I then got my period and bled all over his car and my clothes and had to wash them in a gas station bathroom sink. Oh and we had to stop every hour cause I always got bad diarrhea with my period. Yep that was our official first date. 7 years later here comes baby boy! Here is a pic from a few years ago. He still gives me butterflies

katie.725 · October 2013

DH and I met our Junior year of High School in Chemistry class... so Fall 2004 I passed him a note and asked him if he wanted to hang out over Christmas break after we made peanut brittle together as a class experiment.

he said he had to check with his mom...

From what he's told me, that first phone call he made to me he was very nervous.

He still remembers what I wore on our first date and how great my ass looked in those jeans... (his words not mine)

We were married in June 2010

alexisjo88 · October 2013

I met DH on the beach in Va Beach, back in 2007. I had just arrived for my military specialty training and I thought he was a Navy Seal. Turns out he was actually a Marine as well (I had told myself I'd never date a Marine) and in my class as well.

We both started as just friends as we both were dying someone from each of our hometowns. As we struggled with the relationships we had, we became closer and closer. After a month we were together and I was the only reason he was able to pass the class. I put out if he passed a test.

The course was three months long and by the end of that 3 months I told him we were getting married.

We ended up being stationed on different bases, but luckily within the same state, so on the weekend I would make the drive to stay with him. I took on additional duties so that I could get temporarily stationed with him working at the predeployment training command.

Little did I know he was going to be going to be transferred to a different battalion and have to deploy. I managed to get him out of training for 12 hours so we could get married (after only knowing each other 8 months) before he went to Afghanistan. He had to be back at midnight. I call him my little Cinderella.

We have had our rough spots, but have been married almost 6 years now.

I am mobile and don't have any early pics of us, but will track one down and post later.

babymama619 · October 2013

He was the children's librarian where I would take my little charges for story time. I gave him my number one day after story time. One of the worst and BEST decisions of my life.

Btw @amberrrjade, best GTKY yet!

heritten · October 2013

Technically we met in swing dancing class. He was one of the two guys who was capable of actually leading and not twisting your arm. I remember him because of that and the Invader Zim shirt. Apparently he liked me, but his friend convince him to ask out a girl on her hall who ended up pledging with me.

When he graduated (he is two years older than me) my pledge friend dumped him because he moved away. (Not that its that far between Blacksburg and Richmond, VA) But after dating him for two years, she had absolutely nothing negative to say about him, which is why I said yes when he asked me out that summer. I knew after our first date I was going to marry him, I even told my best friend from high school that whose mother told me I was crazy assuming that. Lo and behold, he proposed two years to the day after our first date and we got married a year after that.

And now our baby is on the way!

Wedding photo! And yes, my best friends are twin boys (see either side of us).

Edvoncupacake · October 2013

We met in 7th grade. We had a few classes together and I thought he was funny. I was a library TA and one day he was a guest TA. We happened to shelve books in the same row and were inexplicably compelled to kiss each other. It didn't turn into anything at that point. We were kids! Anyway, I ended up going to a different highschool WAY far away from everyone I ever knew so I never heard from or about him again. Well, until about 4 years ago. Yay Facebook! We found each other on there and planned a meet up. We had a ton of fun but I wasn't sure. I thought he was kind of stupid and I wasn't sure that I was attracted to him. I loved being around him though! He did stand up comedy at the time, so I would go to his shows and we would ride bikes all over the city. We hung out like best friends. He tried to kiss me one night after dinner and I pushed him away. I couldn't do it. I thought about that all night. The next time we hung out though, we couldn't get enough of each other. His kisses were just as sweet as they were in 7th grade. We fell for each other quickly and have been having LOTS of fun since. I learned that he is incredibly smart when you get underneath his smart ass punk rock skater kid layers. He is also the most beautiful man in the world to me.

This pics is from our engagement session.

GopherBaby13 · October 2013

This might get long.

We met a muskie fishing trade show. My dad and I had a booth for our veterans fishing event and at the time I was also a fishing guide. I'm pretty well known in our state because not many girls catch a lot of big muskies, get sponsored, and frequent the tournament circuit. I was also on quite few tv shows and written up on the big papers and magazines. Because of all that, lots of little kids LOVED getting my autograph.

M was walking by our booth, wearing a Wild hat and a Gopher hockey shirt, and my dad asked him if he liked hockey. LOL. M said that he did, while my dad started talking about how much his daughter loved hockey and was a big muskie fisherman and the two giant fish mounts in our booth were mine (I was at a friends booth at the time). M told my dad that I sounded like the perfect woman and asked why I wasn't married. My dad said that I had been asked but I said no and asked M if he wanted my autograph. He didn't really want it but my dad insisted on calling me.

Normally when a grown man asked for my autograph, it was for their kid or wife. When I got back to the booth, I thought he was really cute and had good taste (the Gopher hockey shirt). This next part is my FAVORITE part. I asked him who he wanted me to make it out to. He said TO THE COOLEST GUY IN THE WORLD!!! Hahaha. I looked up at him and asked "Is that supposed to be you?" And he smiled and said yup and told me his real name. I even wrote "To the coolest guy in the world" on the picture. He still has it.

My dad and I went to a bar by the venue after the show was over with some friends and so did M. I saw him sitting at the bar by himself (there was fishing lure swap thing going on at the bar) watching hockey and I walked up to the bar, pretending that I didn't notice him, and ordered a drink. A friend of mine came up to me on my other side and we chatted for a minute and when he left, I turned towards M to "leave" and he was staring at me. I was like "Oh, hi! I didn't see you there" and we have been together ever since.

I loved his amazing blue eyes. They are what gave me that feeling. This picture is from like a month into our relationship.

spiffy7 · October 2013

DH and I went to grade school through high school together. We had mutual friends and lived in a small town, but we didn't ever hang with the mutual friends at the same time, so we didn't really know each other.

In our freshman year of college, one of our mutual friends had joined the army and I was his only friend that had his address. He asked me to contact a few of his friends to have people to write with. The first person I saw was DH. We sat down and started talking (of course, I saw him at school and didn't have the address for our friend so I "had" to give him my number). (Also, I had a major crush on him in 7th grade...

)

I saw him a couple times at school after that, but just in passing to classes. He didn't call me for a month after I gave him my number (he was drunk with a few friends and I had just gotten off work headed out to hang with a co-worker/friend). He wanted to hang, but I already had my plans, so we set it up to meet up the next day.

He took me downtown Portland where we walked around and had coffee. We hung out for a week straight after that.

3 years later, we moved in together. 3 years after that he proposed. We married in August of 2009 after 7 years of being together, this was our 4 year anniversary this year! We had our first son in Sept. 2010 and are expecting our second son Nov. 6th!

He's my best friend and I couldn't ask for a better partner!

He never got our mutual friend's address, but we took a road trip a year after getting together to see our friend at his base in California. One of our best trips.

fluttergirlmoonchild79 · October 2013

We lived in the same dorm. One night I had my door open waiting for a friend when he walked by, stick his head into my room and said " you're coming out with me and my friends tonight". He wasn't really my type but I figured why not? He took me to a frat party super early. I kept wanting to dance with him but his friends kept cutting in. I ended up getting trashed and he took me back to my room. I gave him my number. He said he'd call. He ended up coming up to my room the next day (took him months to admit he lost my number). It was the end if the semester and I had a summer job back home which was 3 hours away. He told me one night that he didn't see it working out because of the distance. I told him we should just let whatever happens happen. Within a week I was driving down to visit him because I just couldn't be without him. He proposed after 8 months. We got married 5 and a half years later (I insisted that we both graduate college first). Been together for 13.5 years and married for 7.5. Can't imagine going through life with anyone else.

michrocc · October 2013

We went to the same college and had a few classes together but never really spoke. I was the nerdy girl who sat in the front of our Peruvian Archaeology class taking meticulous notes and he was the dude in the back half-asleep and smelling of cigs and alcohol like some Oasis song. I thought he was hot, though (and he later admitted he felt the same about me).

He graduated a year ahead of me and took a job at the university library where I worked...as my direct supervisor. We occasionally flirted but that was about it since I had a bf in law school in another state (you know how THAT goes). Bf and I broke up because that's what happens and DH asked me out. We spent the summer hooking up and hiding it from work. I was convinced he was a rebound.

During month two he said he loved me. At month four we almost split up because I was graduating and moving to California and he was moving to Italy to be an archaeologist (turns out he was paying attention in class). We wrote to one another and he'd pick and press Italian flowers to send in love notes to me. We saw one another over the holidays that same year and he proposed.

We've been married for 8 years (and he's now getting his PhD in archaeology).

We met at a beach party when I was 16, only he dated my best friend then. I saw him only Labor Day weekend each summer until I was 20, then we started dating. We lived an hour apart which was huge at 20 but we made it work. Most of our wedding party made out with at least one other person in our wedding party at some point during those beach parties.

DH and I met at work. After I had my 1st daughter I moved back to Houston from Oklahoma since her father wouldn't come live there with us. I was promoted up there so it was difficult for me to leave that job and come back home but I didn't want to be away from her father and do it on my own so I moved back. Had to find a new job and luckily one of the companies I did business with was looking for someone in operations in the line of work I did so the manager hired me thankfully. That's where I met DH for the 1st time but he was in a relationship and so was I so I worked there for 3 years and by that time I had left my daughters father and was a single mother. Got laid off after 3 years and I left to find a new job..my future husband and I stayed in contact since we lived close to each other and by that time he was no longer with his GF. We started out as just friends and I never saw him in that way although he was cute..just never had any romantic feelings but always was drawn to him. So we went out with groups of friends a few times then began just us going out..long story short we dated for a year and a half and he proposed..6 months later we were married. It's been almost 2 years of marriage and now we are expecting our 1st child together, although he is the best step dad to my daughter a girl could ask for. Who knew the day I took that job I was about to meet my future husband??!

Late to the game on this one but I loved reading all of these!!

DH and I met through a college dating website - when I was a senior and he was a freshman! We made plans to meet up and go out a few times and I blew him off... I was convinced he was WAY too young for me (he was 18, I was 21). He was persistent though and through further talking online we realized we had a mutual friend. She brought him to a party at my college house - it was so crowded they had to come in through a downstairs window!

Anyway that night he ended up hanging out until 7 or 8 in the morning and I was trashed... however, he was a perfect gentleman. We just talked and talked for hours. Afterward I "drunk dialed" him several times and again, he came over and we would just cuddle and talk. I actually started to wonder if he even liked me because he hadn't made a move! But, that's just him - he really is a gentleman.

After that, we both went home for the summer and when we came back to school in the fall we hung out on the first night of classes. We were inseparable ever since. He invited me over that first night and finally kissed me. That was in 2004. We moved in together in 2007, got engaged in February 2008, married in May 2009 and now LO is on his way - due November 30th.

DH is my best friend and I know he's going to be an amazing father

Here's a pic of us from about 2006 and one from our wedding:

Super late, but these are adorable!

I pretty much stole him from my best friend. I was having a really rough breakup, and he's a very caring, observant guy, so he was sort of talking me through it. I was 4 hours away from him, the best friend, and my ex, so I felt very helpless and lonely. He and the best friend were very much on the rocks at this point, so I tried to talk him through that.

Long story short, I fell head over heels. We made it official in February 2008, moved in together March 2008, got married April 2012, and are expecting our first little one!

We are silly happy.

Not our first pic, but an early one.

baby daddy and I met at a bluegrass festival many many moons Ago. I believe it was harvest 2008. The festival we was at flooded and all my stuff was ruined and after being there partying for days Sunday night I was looking rough passing out in a camping chair. This handsome guy walks over to me with long red dreads and ask me if I need a place to crash, I thought he was craZy but assured me he wasn't going to bed that night so I took him up on the offer. I slept in his tent on his comfy air matress and woke up the next morning and didnt see him again till the next summer.

He played in a bluegrass band that always played the late night set from like 2am-4am and then everyone would always still be up partying and picking and being silly till early morning.

Well in 2011 we ended up kicking it, and I realized I had been getting down to his band for years at the farm and he was the guy who let me
Crash in his tent.

After the festival he added me on Facebook and we talked non stop.
He lived 3 hours away in tennesse while I was in Kentucky.

He drove to Kentucky to take me on a date.

Our first date was our first dance, our first kiss and the first time he told me he loved me.
CraZy madly in love so fast
After that night, we couldn't stay apart.
After one month of dating I moved to tn and we've been together ever since.

He truly is my soulmate, best friend And beat partner I could ever ask for.

I'm glad I'm not the only one! (to steal SO)

We met for the first time in 2002 in college though we were both dating other people at the time. A few years down the road both of us broke up with our significant others and started chatting back and forth on AOL IM. In 2005 on our first date I remember our waitress asking us how long we had been together and told us we looked madly in love. We've been inseparable ever since. 4 months into our relationship, his lease was up and I told him he could crash at my place until he found a new house...he never found his "own place". Exactly 5 years after we told each other "I love you" (in the back of a taxi at 4 in the morning after a concert) DS1 was born.

We've been to hundreds of concerts and a ton of music festivals together, this is us at Red Rocks seeing our favorite band back in the day.

I am late to the game, but I spent a good chunk of time reading every bodies posts.

DH and I originally met freshman year of college in 2001 on 9/11. We were all sitting in the quad talking about what was going on. We would then sit in the computer lab and message each other because we were too nervous to talk face to face. After a while we started hanging out and he asked me out. We were together for a day before I broke up with him. I ended up going back home and dating someone from high school for 3 years. During that time DH dated my old roommate to get back at me.

So three years go by and I see DH sign on to instant messenger and we start talking. We agree to meet up at a bar (he was now back home going to school) in between where we both lived. After that night we ended up talking for hour on end via phone, text, and messaging. We texted so much my parents phone bill was over 300.00 bucks one month. Come November of 2004 DH made a deal with me. He said the first person to break up with their SO would basically force the other to break up with theirs within a week. I called him the next day and told him it was his turn. It took him a few days (he felt bad because it was the holiday season). After that we have been inseparable.

I have followed him around the east coast in search of his dream job. We have been together 9 years, married 5 and expecting our LO this month!
