I met my husband when I was getting over a ex fiancé and so was he. My husband was working at Starbucks at the time and I was working for supercuts in the same parking lot and had a friend that worked with tyler(my husband) she had suggested we go out together just to have fun and see what happens. I wasn't really interested after previously ending my relationship with my ex fiancé. But I said to myself "what the heck I can just have someone to hang with", and our first date was at a sushi place and we seriously talked for hours and hours. We had so much to talk about and had the same views of life. Then I told him that I was moving to California and he was so upset. I thought about it for a while and said what the heck he can move with me, and he was so excited, spent two years in California and then he told me he was moving back to Arizona and I told him to go and get everything together with him and his dad's business and we were long distance for about 4 months. I moved back to AZ from California last June and well here we are. Kid, marriage and now closed on a house today. Pretty good for a rebound relationship technically.
I met my husband in 7th grade in church and got to know him on a mission trip. We stayed friends through high school and college. He ended up getting engaged to a girl and they broke things off soon after. I was that friend trying to help him get over her and get his mind off of it because it absolutely devestated him. In the process, I realized how much I loved my best friend. Scariest moment of my life was the first time we crossed that line between friendship and a sexual relationship. If that went badly, I could have lost my best friend. Thankfully it didn't, and we were married about 2 years later! We've been married 3 years next month!
We actually met through my ex of 10 years! Haha. Sounds crazy, but long story short - my ex and I were living in the same neighborhood as DH, they became friends & then we all became friends, a year or so later things didn't work out with the ex (this was a long time coming), and a few months after that DH and I rekindled and have been together ever since. People meet in mysterious ways.
The pic is one we got taken for our birth announcement on Vday.
I worked in a before school/after school program. We got this new kid in the program and I bonded with him immediately. Apparently his dad noticed me the first day, said I was dancing with the kids and laughing and that there was something about me that made him want to know me. 2 weeks later he walks up, out of the blue, and asks to cook me dinner one night, makes excuses to come back to the school to talk to me, then he gave me his email (I took pictures of the kids and offered to email them to the parents if they liked them), and with that he wrote down his phone number and said I could call him if I got bored that night. He was super hot.. But I wasn't interested. He wouldn't give up, and all my coworkers wouldn't either. He came in the next day and said "my phone didn't ring last night!" And I replied, "I didn't get bored!". Finally after about a week, I text him and he asked to make me dinner again, I accepted. We had a horrible first date (his first date in 10 years, he still loved his ex wife .. His sons mom whom he had known since age 12... So he was so nervous he took anxiety pill, combined it with alcohol.. And it was awful!!!) .however, before the first date, I had promised him and his son I would go to our local shelter and pick out a dog with them (I fostered and trained dogs for this shelter) and I keep my word, so when he called to apologize for his behavior and I finally answered, we agreed we would go the following day, but I made it clear, I was only going because his son wanted me to go and because I said I would, I did. Well luckily, I got to see the real guy that this man was.. He was still nervous, but he didn't use his anxiety medicine or combine that drinking. To see this big hot guy, all mushy mushy over a puppy was what changed my mind about him. We adopted that puppy that day (who threw up all over me and his new truck!). We have been together ever since! We took things slow, and 11 months later, he said I love you.. It's the first time I had ever heard a man say that and actually mean it, without having alterior motives. That puppy we adopted is turning 7 years old in July. His son is turning 17 in November and our 7 year anniversary is in September. We were married after nearly 4 years of dating. And while I was 6 months along with our now 2 1/2 year old.
I obviously left out some details but that's the general jist of things. I couldn't imagine life without him now... And to think, I wasn't even interested! Lol! This man has held my hand and cried for me because my heart was about to break as my golden retriever took her last breath due to cancer, and he held my hand as our daughter took her first breath. He carried me up 17 stairs after I had surgery to remove my cervical cancer and couldn't get it together to wake up (was having BP issues), and he pushes me to better myself everyday, and believes in me even when I don't. I'm blessed ❤️
We met in 7th grade, and started dating junior year of high school. We took a break in college (we went to different schools and I was studying abroad for most of that period), then reunited senior year. We dated through law school, then got married the summer after we both graduated. It's been a long road, but all in all a pretty boring story
DH and I met through a mutual friend our freshman year at Texas A&M. We were Facebook friends but hadn't really met in person. One day, I put up a status that said "Monday nights were made for football" and he replied (DH was on the A&M football team and is now a coach so football is a huge part of his life). We started talking and hanging out the next week. I was not ready for any relationship and was very adamant that we would never be more than friends. He, on the other hand, told me that he was going to marry me (bold move, man). He said that he was going to become my best friend and then make me fall in love with him (so cheesy!!) and I literally laughed in his face. Fast forward one month, and he had done exactly what he said he would do. I couldn't go more than a few hours without talking to him and my weekends away from him were terrible. Our relationship was a bit of a shock to my conservative parents (DH is black and I'm white) and they were not thrilled at first but they quickly grew to love him. He proposed after our junior year of college and we got married in May of 2012.
I worked at a local mom and pop shop through most of high school and then college. During my sophomore year of college DH got a job there also because his parents were in bible study with the owners. He chased me for three or four months. I thought he was weird and I was casually seeing other people at the time. End of November I went on a trip to Kentucky to visit my best friend for a week. We talked the whole time I was gone and when I came back things were just different.
Then my beloved grandmother died the first week in December and he was the most supportive person I could have imagined. He even came to my aunt and uncles the night she died. I have a big family (23 first cousins). He met them all at once. When my uncle asked who he was he introduced himself as "I'm Ryan Sara's boyfriend" and I'm my head I was like you are? Then my uncle says "I'm uncle John and I have knives." It didn't scare him away and he interacted with everyone so well. The rest is history. That was 8 years ago and we will have baby girl two weeks before our 2 year wedding anniversary.
DH and I met at our friends' wedding. I was a bridesmaid, friends with the bride and he was a groomsman, friends with the groom. I met him on the day of the wedding and we were paired to walk down the aisle together. I had a boyfriend at the time, but I just knew the moment that we met that he was the one. I broke up with the boyfriend. The next day - the day that I was set to leave the small town where DH lived and where the wedding took place - he showed up on the hotel's doorstep and we went on our first date. He took me out for breakfast and to see the beautiful sights around this small valley town. The car broke down at one point and we were stuck for a while, but I was happy about it. I really wanted to spend more time with him. Eventually I did have to head back to the city, but DH kissed me goodbye on the cheek and we immediately started talking on the phone for hours a day as soon as I got back home. I was on top of the moon and I still am every day now that I can come home to him every day.
We met at college in Jan of 2010. I was in a relationship going on 5 years and thought nothing of him. Then in November of that same year, 2-3 months after my other relationship ended, praise The Lord, I randomly was thinking, "I like Seth Eby! Why do I feel attracted to him? What's going on?" Lol. So I made up an excuse to chat with him and it all started from there. Started dating officially the following month Dec 14, 2010, engaged Aug 9, 2011, and married July 14, 2012. It was totally a God thing! God used him in my life to bring me to a saving knowledge of Him and to really understand and know what it means to be a Christian. Forever grateful!
Craigslist. I was browsing the Internet one evening (July 4, 2011) after putting my son to bed. I ran across his add "looking for a wife" everything he said I his post was what I had wanted to hear! I responded, not expecting to hear anything back. He responded the next morning at 5:30 am! (he gets up way too early every day.) Ends up we have lived In the Sam town for at least 10 years but never met. I even had worked for his mother's cousin when I was in high school. We exchanged emails for a couple of weeks and met for our first date July 23, 2011. The next week we had our second date and he took me to meet his parents. That night he asked me if I would be his girl. Lol. We married on June 9, 2012 and had our first baby together May 9, 2013 we are expecting #3 August 15!
I met my partner at the age of 11 (2004)when we went into secondary school (were from england) we used to fight on a daily basis in class like cat and dog and also share secrets like best friends up until the age of 14 when Unfortunately he went to Kenya (place of birth) to finish his school studies and I thought that was the end of our friendship until 3 years ago he returned. At the time I was in a relationship so didn't rekindle our friendship as he had a girlfriend too and we never looked at each other that way....Until 1.5 years ago he plucked up the courage to admit he fancied me from the age of 11 and asked me on a date. Here we are today about to move into our new home on Friday and start the preparation for our first born. A baby boy. I couldnt be happier and we often joke about if we could tell our 11 year old selves that we one day would be together the reaction on both our faces would have been priceless to see! I fell in love with my best friend!
I don't remember how old we were when we first met but we really started hanging out as friends when we ran cross country in high school together. I was a freshman and he was a junior. The following year we were still friends and hanging out a lot more often. His brother was in a freak farm accident and ended up passing away in November and he leaned on me for support. We started dating (I was 16, he was 17) have been together ever since. I lost my sister to cancer and he was my rock through that time. When he graduated high school two years before me I thought things might change but they didn't. He went to a university only 40 minutes from our hometown and came home every week end to help on his family farm. His dad was really sick and his mom depended on him to do most of the work. When I graduated high school two years later we got an apartment in the town we went to college. After 7 years of dating we were married in 2013! We are so excited to be bringing a son into our family in 2015. I'm thrilled to be able to raise our son in our hometown!
DH and I met on match.com When I moved to another state after med school, my mom signed me up as a birthday present. I was embarrassed at first and then gave it a shot. I met several creeps and was about to call it quits. We were inseparable after our first date. Our main connection at first was that we had sons the same age. We've now been married for 2 1/2 years. We're expecting a baby girl! Can't wait!!!
I was 15 & he was 17, we were in high school. I was dating his friend but had ended it. He got my number from his friend to see "why I had broken up with him" lol instead we ended up clicking. Been together for almost 9 years & on our second baby. First is my sweet son who is 4 & expecting baby sister. High school sweethearts. ♡
My husband plays in a bagpipe band. At the time I was working at a gas station by the interstate so he would stop in all done up in kilt and the whole shebang for a drink or whatnot before going to play. He was always very nice. One St Patrick's day parade, my friend had to work security at the mall and wanted to see bagpipers. I was out with some friends and saw my future husband out with his band. One of my friends asked if they were playing any bars that night. We picked up our friend who had to work and basically stalked the band for for the rest if the night. Poor guy tried to talk to me, but I'm ridiculously shy. 6 months later, he finally asked me out on a date. He doesn't like to rush into things. When we got married, my friend who had to work on parade day and wanted to see bagpipers officiated our wedding.
When I was a senior in HS, a friend of mine and I filled out a dating profile on a college networking site as a joke to see if we would be compatible. We weren't (turns out he just hadn't come out of the closet yet- so no wonder!!) and I forgot about the profile. After I started my freshman year, my friend called me one night randomly and said that he looked at that networking site and there were some crazies! If I had time, I should look at my profile for a laugh.
I looked. That day, a super cute young man had emailed me and said that he just went on trying to get a t-shirt, but ended up looking at my profile instead and felt like he should email me. I emailed him back (crazypants! But we lived 4 hours apart, so I figured it would just be fun to get to know someone who seemed nice.) Well, one email turned into a full weekend of chatting online and a plan for a first date meeting at the SunCoast in the mall on 9-9-99. That first date led to many, many more, an engagement just a few months later and marriage in January of 2001.
16 years ago, it wasn't safe, or well known to meet people online. But, for some awesome reason, he was brought into my life and we are such a great team. We just celebrated our 14th anniversary with our 6YO and 3YO sons and our twin boys will be here this summer. I am a blessed lady and thank God daily for the strange route we took to happiness!
My sister was getting married in Nj at the end of September. I WAS living in Florida with my ex who at this time I already knew I fell out of love with him n wasn't happy anymore . I was with him 6yrs n moved to fl with him then morning after hs graduation.
I came up to visit nj for my sisters bachelorette party and wedding. The morning after the party in Atlantic City. I was walking my parents dog n called my best friend n she told me to come over, and that her bf was over with one of his friends. So when I got there her bf n his friend ran out n got back after I arrived. He walked in.. And we locked eyes. And I've never experienced anything like this. It was like out of a movie. It was like in slow motion! We both asked our friends who we were. I thought he was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen! So threw out my visit we all continued to hAng out together. After the wedding I left to go back to Florida. We would text all day everyday. He wanted me more but it was hard being in FL. So I told him i will try to move back by his birthday. after I moved back home to nj we talked n got to know each other n took it slow bc we both got out of long relationships. Then 6 months later he made it official. And have been together ever since 2010. Nd now we're having our first baby together, a boy. And we're planning on getting married after our son comes too. He's my best friend n the love of my life
I met my husband at our local dive shop. We had both recently learned to dive. He was in the shop just hanging out with the owner and I came in with a friend to fill my tanks. We got to know each thru dive events and trips including a week long live aboard trip to the bahamas in September. On Halloween after an underwater pumpkin carving dive he invited me to an all you can eat crab feed then out bar hopping all dressed up for Halloween. He cracked me up in his "most interesting man in the world" get up, and we just had a blast. We continued to hang out but it wasn't until end of December that we really became a thing when he invited me to go with him to Barcelona Spain for 10 days. we planed out the first 3 days then decided to wing it once we got there after that. We had so much fun and it was such a crazy adventure. After that there was no turning back. I knew he was the spontaneous, adventurous, loving man I would be with forever. We got married in Vegas with our closest family and friends about two years later and I couldn't be happier! We still joke we came together thru our mutual love of all you can eat crab.
I originally met my DH when I was 15, and he was 12. I was dating his older brother who was 18, and he was this sweet little kid who followed me around everywhere I went and would fall asleep on me every time we got in the truck. His brother and I broke up and I didn't see him again for a while.
3yrs later, I was 17, and him 15, and a girlfriend of mine told me that she needed to pick up someone on our way to the dance hall we were going to. It was that same sweet little kid, only 3ft taller! He was so sweet and asked me to dance. Our first dance together was to Toby Keith's "When you kiss me like this". Not once did I ever think about him as anything more than that sweet kid, until about the 8th time we all went out dancing. That night something was different. After a few hours, I wasn't feeling good and decided to go lay down in the truck. He offered to walk me out there and sit with me. Him being the sweet little kid I always knew, I was fine with that. I layed down in the front passenger seat of the truck and he sat in the back seat. We talked for a while and at some point I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to him kissing me over the back side of the seat (not some creepy kiss, just a sweet peck on the cheek). I jumped up startled and he was already out of the truck and at his front porch. My girlfriend said he talked about our conversations the entire way home. We laughed it off, but the next weekend when we showed up to pick him up, he had a dozen Peony flowers. They were NOT in season and are very expensive flowers, but he remembered from that conversation that they were my favorite flower and had the florist special order them for me. I think that's the night I seen him in a new light. We danced, talked, and at one point he asked to hold my hand. From then on, we were inseparable. The night after my 18th birthday, I took him his Christmas gift (my b-day is the day before Christmas eve) and told him that we couldn't date anymore. In my eyes at the age of 18, I was an adult and I didn't want to be the reason this sweet kid had to grow up. We parted ways as friends and kept in touch for a few months, then lost contact.
I got married at 18 (7months later) to my EX, and we moved off and had kids. After my EX and I separated (6yrs later), I was at a girlfriends house one night who lived in the same town as DH. I jokingly said I was going to call him to jack with him. I called his phone and sure enough, he had the same number still. I however had changed numbers twice. When he answered I panicked and hung up. He called me back and asked who this was, and told me who he was and wanted to know if I needed him or someone else. All I said was, "I sure do miss that sweet boy". He immediately knew who I was and told me that he was in San Antonio with a buddy, but that he would be on his way back to see me if I just waited. I told him no, that it was a 2hr drive and that he could call me later when he wasn't busy. I got 12 texts from him that night. It took another month of talking on the phone before we went out on a date. He let me drive his truck on our first date, which where I'm from is a big thing. We went out a few times on a few dates, but nothing serious. 6months later I was with my kids and my god daughter at the lake and my truck broke down. There were no available tow trucks in that town or my home town, and all my family was out of state visiting other family members. I called a few friends and they all said they would help, but it would be a few hours. At this point, I was desperate with 3, 4, and 15yr olds in my care with no food. I called DH and told him what was going on. I knew it was over an hour and a half drive to get to me from his house. He made it there in an hour with food for the kids and the parts to fix my truck. Well, the fix didn't hold and I ended up riding home with him with my truck on a trailer (yes, he came prepared). I took him out for supper with all of us as a Thank you. It was probably 11:45 by the time we left the restaurant so I told him I had a spare room and he could stay at my house. Needless to say, he spent the night and we've never spent another night apart since then. 7yrs together this June and 5yrs of marriage this November. He's my soulmate!!
Cody Lane - 4/22/2004 Colten James - 9/9/2005 Isabella Ann - 7/20/2012 SURPRISE!!! Emma Leigh - due 8/27/2015 (c-section date 8/7/2015)
The first time I saw my H was when he walked into my homeroom classroom in 6th grade. He was a giant--just over 6 feet, and he was crying (few noticed because they were so distracted by his height). We later learned that his great grandmother, a woman who basically raised him, had just passed away while he was in the middle of switching schools. I had no idea that we would find ourselves in the same friend circles just a year later.
In 7th and 8th grade, I had a major crush on one of his friends, so me and my best friend regularly found excuses to get close to the group and hang out. By the end of 8th grade, my crush moved away and I had become pretty good friends with H.
But, I got to high school and got involved with a group of seniors (I was a year older than everyone else in my grade and naturally gravitated towards those outside my grade) while in band. I had a weird on-and-off fling with this senior. I was too young and naive to realize that he was just trying to have fun before graduating. I would vent to H about some of the problems I was having with this guy and my best friend (same girl from junior high). My best friend was trying to alienate me from our group of friends because she thought I was being stupid for going after this senior. She regularly put me down in front of other friends, gave me the silent treatment, claimed I was sleeping around with a bunch of guys--it was a really hard thing to go through but just the thing to push me closer to H. He supported me and kept her from taking too much control of my self-esteem. Whenever my BF threw get-togethers at her house, H always went too to be with me.
The summer after freshman year, the senior boy dumped me. By then, I had very little contact with my BF and instead hung out with her boyfriend's older brother (same age as senior boy; same group of seniors I hung out with) and his girlfriend. One evening, this girl told me that she thought H was really cute, that she could see herself lounging on the couch with him and she'd totally go after him if she wasn't with her current boyfriend. It set me off. I got really angry and territorial over him. So much so that it really surprised me, haha. I left for home that night thinking about H and listened to the Metallica CD (Black album) that he had given me for my 16th birthday a few months before. "Did I like H as more than a friend??" I asked myself while listening to Nothing Else Matters.
I started texting him more often, calling him late at night to talk about randoms. When school started back up again, I was pretty sure that I did like H. We hung out all the time at each others' houses. His mom even invited me to go with them out of town to a family reunion. We had a blast and everyone kept referring to me as his girlfriend. A couple weeks later, I worked up the courage to tell him over IM in early October 2008, just a couple months into our sophomore year, that I wanted to be more than friends. So, we became boyfriend and girlfriend . His mom was apparently in the computer room while I was IM'ing him; she told me that she had never seen him so excited before.
Just a few months later, H went through a really bad sickness and ended up having his gal bladder removed. He was sick for a long time after that and was passed from doctor to doctor. His self-esteem tanked and our young relationship had many, many fights in it. Thankfully, we both grew up a little. We graduated high school and ended up going to college together. We got married (Dec 2013) while in college and got our degrees a year early. Now we are pregnant with our first child! And we are renovating the kitchen in our very own house! High school sweet hearts going strong
Sorry for the book, but I felt like our relationship started waaaay back there . Here is a picture of us from last year and one from when we were either in 10th or 11th grade.
My husband and I met soon after I graduated from college. He was living in a town about an hour away and going to school there. He came up with some friends to attend a Church dance, that he didnt even want to come to but did anyway. He danced near me almost the entire time and finally asked me to dance, and then asked me for my number. Our first date, we ordered the same dinner, and talked so long that the restaurant almost closed on us. Our second date was the opposite, it soured like a rotten tomato. After much pleading from both mothers, we gave each other another chance. The third date was a boring baseball game that turned into the best baseball game i have ever been too. From there, we began seeing and spending every weekend together, and still do. We have been married for 7 years this May!

There were no available tow trucks in that town or my home town, and all my family was out of state visiting other family members. I called a few friends and they all said they would help, but it would be a few hours. At this point, I was desperate with 3, 4, and 15yr olds in my care with no food. I called DH and told him what was going on. I knew it was over an hour and a half drive to get to me from his house. He made it there in an hour with food for the kids and the parts to fix my truck. Well, the fix didn't hold and I ended up riding home with him with my truck on a trailer (yes, he came prepared). I took him out for supper with all of us as a Thank you. It was probably 11:45 by the time we left the restaurant so I told him I had a spare room and he could stay at my house. Needless to say, he spent the night and we've never spent another night apart since then. 7yrs together this June and 5yrs of marriage this November. He's my soulmate!!

In 7th and 8th grade, I had a major crush on one of his friends, so me and my best friend regularly found excuses to get close to the group and hang out. By the end of 8th grade, my crush moved away and I had become pretty good friends with H.
But, I got to high school and got involved with a group of seniors (I was a year older than everyone else in my grade and naturally gravitated towards those outside my grade) while in band. I had a weird on-and-off fling with this senior. I was too young and naive to realize that he was just trying to have fun before graduating. I would vent to H about some of the problems I was having with this guy and my best friend (same girl from junior high). My best friend was trying to alienate me from our group of friends because she thought I was being stupid for going after this senior. She regularly put me down in front of other friends, gave me the silent treatment, claimed I was sleeping around with a bunch of guys--it was a really hard thing to go through but just the thing to push me closer to H. He supported me and kept her from taking too much control of my self-esteem. Whenever my BF threw get-togethers at her house, H always went too to be with me.
The summer after freshman year, the senior boy dumped me. By then, I had very little contact with my BF and instead hung out with her boyfriend's older brother (same age as senior boy; same group of seniors I hung out with) and his girlfriend. One evening, this girl told me that she thought H was really cute, that she could see herself lounging on the couch with him and she'd totally go after him if she wasn't with her current boyfriend. It set me off. I got really angry and territorial over him. So much so that it really surprised me, haha. I left for home that night thinking about H and listened to the Metallica CD (Black album) that he had given me for my 16th birthday a few months before. "Did I like H as more than a friend??" I asked myself while listening to Nothing Else Matters.
I started texting him more often, calling him late at night to talk about randoms. When school started back up again, I was pretty sure that I did like H. We hung out all the time at each others' houses. His mom even invited me to go with them out of town to a family reunion. We had a blast and everyone kept referring to me as his girlfriend. A couple weeks later, I worked up the courage to tell him over IM in early October 2008, just a couple months into our sophomore year, that I wanted to be more than friends. So, we became boyfriend and girlfriend
Just a few months later, H went through a really bad sickness and ended up having his gal bladder removed. He was sick for a long time after that and was passed from doctor to doctor. His self-esteem tanked and our young relationship had many, many fights in it. Thankfully, we both grew up a little.
We graduated high school and ended up going to college together. We got married (Dec 2013) while in college and got our degrees a year early. Now we are pregnant with our first child! And we are renovating the kitchen in our very own house! High school sweet hearts going strong
Sorry for the book, but I felt like our relationship started waaaay back there
