I loved reading Lena's story about how she and her DH ended up together!

What's YOUR love story? How'd you meet? :thumbup:
 
DH and I met when I was 16 and he was 20. We met online back in the days of AOL IMing and chatrooms. I think we were both in a local chatroom or something. Can't really remember.

After knowing him online for four months, i asked him to ask me on a date. He did and the rest is history.

We've been together 11 years (in March), married for 7 1/2 years, and have two beautiful sons.

The End. :)
 
My DH and I were in the college orchestra at Ricks College aka Brigham Young University Idaho. My friend and I were looking over the orchestra (we were lucky and got to sit on the last riser and we could see the entire group) and when I saw my DH (he plays violin), I said, "I don't know about date, but I'm gonna marry that guy."

We quickly became friends and on March 18, we had our official date to the formal dance at the school and on April 17, we got engaged. We were married on August 19, 1988.

I met my husband at his younger cousins birthday party. I was 14 almost 15 and he was 21 (Yes there is a little bit of an age difference). We went out with my best friend at the time and one of his cousins (not the one who's birthday party it was though) to play a game or two of pool. He took me home and dropped his cousin and my best friend off. I thought that would be the last time I saw him but a few days later I saw him again at his cousins. He was flirting a little but I wasnt really interested at first. After awhile talking to him he was so nice and so funny that kinda changed. So long story short he asked me out and we started dating. Like two months later I found out I was pregnant and he said he loved me and even though it had been such a short period of time he wanted us to get married now (we had talked about getting married AFTER I turned 18). I had to get permission from my parents which wasnt hard because my mom had been looking for a reason to get rid of me. Then my mom, my husband and myself had to be interveiwed by the judge to get permission from the state to be married. We got it and that was all the way back in 1991 been together ever since (with a short breakup about 6 years into the marriage)
 
DH and I actually met in high school. I was a Freshman and he was a Senior. I had the BIGGEST crush on him, followed him around like a little puppy dog, but he never noticed me (in that way). He told me he thought I was a cute kid. Nice compliment, huh?

Anyway, he graduated, and I continued in school. Dated a couple boys, but never forgot about him. I remember writing Mrs. Stephen McIntyre on my notebooks. . I was that gone. LOL

After I graduated from high school, my best friend was leaving for the Navy. We had a going away party for her, and he was at the party. I noticed him right away, but played hard to get, totally ignoring him for most of the evening. But he wouldn't let up - apparently the cute kid was now a hottie. I eventually gave in to my lifelong crush and we have been together ever since. That was 12 years ago.

I remember telling him in a teasing way, "You know I love you" after dating for 6 months. His response was, "I love you, too, Rose." There was a time before that when I wasn't sure I should stay with him (early in our relationship). I was starting college and didn't know if I should have a boyfriend. I said a prayer asking God for a "sign" and that evening, after leaving campus to head home, I found a card and rose from Stephen on my windshield. "I know I've been a bit of a butthead lately, and please forgive me. You are the best thing that has come into my life in a long time. Please don't give up on me."

That was it for me.

We will have been married 10 years next September.

We now have 2 living children together and more in love with one another today than we were all those years ago.

Andrew and I met in an MSN chat room on 10.21.01. I was friends with the "owners" of the room and tasked with checking profiles. When I checked his and saw Weird Science listed as his favorite movie, I had to talk to him. It's just a strange choice for favorite movie, yk? Anyway, we chatted for several hours that day and pretty much every day after that for a few weeks. Three weeks after that day we spoke on the phone for the first time and wore out his cell phone's battery during our first conversation. Three weeks after, on that, on 11.29.01, I flew down to Texas to meet him for the first time. I spent two weeks with him and knew he was the one, no questions. I moved to Texas on 12.27.01 and we married on 3.22.02 (his 32nd birthday.) :)
 
Sean and I met in Japan in Dec 2000, he was in the Navy and I'm air force. We worked together, sat right beside each other, I guess we were friends for about 2 months, then one night his friend called my friend's room, who wasn't home, somehow I ended up talking to Sean and he made fun of my southern accent, which was the most I'd heard him say at one time, he was pretty quiet back then.

Him and a couple of his buddies and I went sleding at 3am, they were drunk and I was the DD. I guess the next night was sort of our first date, we all hung out at the bars in town. Started offically dating a week later.

February will be 8 years we've been together, got engaged April 2003 and then married in April 2004. April will be our 5th anniversary and we have our 2 beautiful babies.
 
My love story is actually very very weird.

Ryan and I worked together... he was my field training officer! Boy, I hated him at first, I mean LOAAAATHED. I used to go home to my 1st husband and tell him how horrible my trainer was. After I was done with training and such, Ryan and I bumped into eachother a lot at the bar down the road from the department and somehow it went from me hating him to he and I being best friends. Ryan was my shoulder through SO much bs and drama... we were in love from day 1 and we both knew it. My ex and I were annulled and Ryan and I moved in together as roommates... after a night of poor decisions and beer, I was pregnant with Faith by my ex who basically told me to get bent and leave him alone. Ryan plopped down on the couch with me one night, a couple weeks into my pregnancy, and said:

Him: Hey...
Me: Yeah?
Him: What are you doing for, say, ever?
Me: Heh, who knows.
Him: Why don't we get hitched?
Me: Sure.

And we actually did... like a month later in the courthouse! May 21st... Faith was born 7 months later. Boy did we have growing pains in the first year but it's been the best impulsive thing I ever did!!
 
Steph and I met in college, we had like four classes together. She HATED me at first, but I was able to wear her down. I knew I had one when one day in class she poked me in the side when the teacher turned her back...we went out for the first time later that week...and yeah...have been together ever since. It's something like nine years we have been together and married for 6.
 
Rob and I met in high school in accounting class (we actually had several classes together that semester but he first noticed "the cute blonde" as he called me in accounting lol), I was 15 and a sophomore and he was 17 and a senior and my Mom wouldn't let me date him at first cause he was one of "those senior boys" lol! He was constantly getting us in trouble with our teachers cause he was always talking to me and flirting during our classes together! After a few months of us being friends and talking on the phone for hours every night I finally agreed to go out with him and we started dating 1/4/1994 and were together for the rest of high school and college and then we got married on 8/4/2000 and we've been together for almost 16 years and married for 8.5 and we have 3 beautiful kids now!!

OMG!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE classic Mustangs!!

okay, i'm done drooling over that pic of the Mustang now, lol.

i think i've told this story before, but we met while we both were working at a gas station. to make a long story short, i finally got the nerve to ask him out after weeks of me crushing and us flirting, lol. he was about to head to basic training for the Army so we hung out for a little less than 2 months before he left. During that time we dated i had my first kiss, and...um...other things...:o. He asked me, before he left, if i would consider marrying him when he was done with basic. it was VERY soon, but i really really cared for him so i said yes, thinking we probably wouldn't even keep in touch. But we did! while he was training, his grandmother died and i went down with his mom to Alabama for her funeral so i could be with him. i could not believe my eyes when i saw him.:blink::w00t: he had lost weight and looked FINE!! :D So anyway, we were married on July 19, 1999. We've had good times, and bad times. But i don't regret anything. except him getting out of the Army; he now has a beer belly, lol.
 
Marti met when I was 16 and he was 30 (talk about age difference! LOL!) He was actually my boss at my after-school job at a local video store (his family owned the store).

Like so many others have said, I did NOT Like him at first. He has a very dry sense of humor and is so hard to read, so I took that to be that he was a jerk.

We ended up married after dating for 5 months (I was 17 and my parents were none too pleased). Most people gave us 6 months tops before we were divorced. That was 14 years ago. :) (and my parents now like him more than they like ME. LOL!)
 
We met in a bar. I was introduced to him by my boss and his brother, who were friends. We are all attorneys from the area and he was moving back up here to start working at his brother's firm. I was actually crushing on another guy and they didn't want me dating him, so they gave him my number and he called me the next day at work which kind of freaked me out. We went to a movie and have been together since. We started dating the end of July, got married that April and have a daughter and another child on the way.
 
Jay was my sister's friend who I met when he was 16 and I was 18. I was dating one of his friends, but he would dedicate songs to me, leave gifts and notes on my car and call me when the other guy wasn't around. After two years with that guy I decided it was really Jay I wanted to be with. We dated for almost 5 years before we got married (over 8years ago).

Funny thing is that my sister married one of my friends...one married older and one married younger. :)
 
I love reading these stories!

We were both 18, it was the first day of college, and we were in the dorm cafeteria at BYU. I sat down next to my high school friend, and he said, "Hey Mandy, this is my roommate, Brandon." We became friends and got married 4 years later. We dated 2 weeks (officially) before deciding that we needed to be together forever. ;)
 
Oh fun thread!!! I was 24 and had just moved back to Washington state after a break up with my boyfriend in Nevada. I started dating and was not going to get serious with anyone. I was dating 3 guys. On November 9th, 1991 my niece (who is only 5 years younger than me) and I went to a singles dance at our church. This guy came up to us with this HORRIBLE line and said, "Hi, my name is Walt as in Walt Disney, but he's the one with all the money." :blink: ya corny, I know. Well he danced with my niece and I all night. After the dance he told us a bunch of people were meeting at Denny's in Tacoma. Went to Denny's and well the "bunch" was him, LOL!! My niece and him talked alot and I just sat back and listened. I thought he liked her and I had no complaints as I was already dating 3 guys. So we all go to leave and my niece leaves and he asks me if I want to go TP'ing (toilet papering). So we do, gotta say it was fun. He asks me to go to church with him the next day and I agree. I remember telling my mom the next morning that I met another guy and that would make 4 now and I only needed 3 more and I would have one to date every night of the week. :p Well 4 days after we met he asked me if I would date him exclusively. So I called the 3 other guys and told them I was going exclusive. :p Then 10 days after we met, on November 19th, 1991 he asked me to marry him and I said yes, I knew without a doubt this was "the one". So we got married 2 months and 2 days after we met and we are getting ready to celebrate our 17th anniversary!!!!
 
fun! Jeff and I met at the bar. We were friends for a year or so, and then one night I was down there alone and he was talking to one of my friends and she took me in the bathroom and told me that he was looking at me, and i'd had a few to drink, so I asked him to dance. I made him go back to my friends with me that night, he stayed for breakfast, and we've been together ever since. That was almost 9 years ago.
 
I love all these stories!

Okay, I met Tyrel when I was a freshman in high school and he was a junior. He went to a different school, but was dating one of my friends and used to come hang out at the seminary (church class) building when his classes were out. I remember seeing him and thinking how CUTE he was! I also remember thinking why my friend was dating him because she wasn't very cute. :p Totally joking. hehe

Anyways, I moved schools and didn't think about him for YEARS. Then when I was a sophomore in college, I was invited to a party at one of my guy friend's apartment. I knew it was a "welcome home" party for one of his friends, but didn't know who. Well, I went and there was Tyrel! He had come home from his church mission the day before. I sat in the corner with my friend and we talked about how hot he was. He seemed to be interested in me too and we talked and flirted. I guess after I left he asked all these questions about me and thought I'd become a real hottie.

Then two weeks later he asked me out! We had the best dates! We were perfect for each other. We said "I love you" after like 3 weeks of dating. Then we were engaged after 2 months of dating. We got married just about 4 months after our first date. hehe :wub:

Oh, and our 3rd anniversary is next week!! YAY!! :wub:

It's been fun reading everyone's stories!

DH and I met when we were in college. He was an older friend of a friend, but for the first few months we knew each other he couldn't tell me and another friend apart. He seemed nice enough, but we were opposites and neither of us was interested in the other. Toward the end of my freshman year we were at a party together and spent the night dancing. It surprised us both to find that there was something there, but we didn't pursue it because we were about to head home for the summer. We came back to school in the fall and started spending a lot of time together. A few days later we pulled an all nighter for no reason, just talking all night. We started dating in September 1994 and got married a year after we finished school (college for me, grad school for him). We celebrated our 10 year anniversary this summer and have 2 great kids and a 3rd on the way.
 
Mr Eve and I meet online in a chatroom he created called "20 Somethings Friendly Chat" There were so many cool people that chatted in there. I miss those days. Anyway we became friends and switch to using the phone, then I packed three suitcases and moved here five months later and got married two months after that. That was 11 years ago this past week. :)
 
Mr. Umlauf and I met in a chat room back in 2001. We shared the same interests and musical tastes. And we only had exchanged pictures. In the beginning of 2002, we went out on a date (after he told me on the phone he was already in love and I had dumped the idiot I was dating) and when I saw him and sat by his side, I knew he was the one. After 5 months, he proposed but we only got married in 2005.

And that's it :)
 
Love these stories!!!

I met DH in our Jr. year of HS. I always knew of him but never really knew who he was until I went over to my friend Tony's house one night. Matt was there and they were putting new brakes on his beat up lifted Toyota pickup. I immediately fell in love - grease and all. That was January 11th. We went to a Monster Truck Rally on January 16th and the rest is history. He immediately moved in with me (at my parent's house), we lived there until we turned 20 and got our own apartment. We got engaged on Thanksgiving 12 years ago and married 11 years ago. We have 2 wonderful little boys and one angel baby. Jan. 16th will be 17 years together!!! :thumbup:
 
i was barely 16, he was barely 19. he was a sophmore in bible college and was a youth leader at the church i attended youth group.

i thought he was a fool with no style. he thought i was super hot cause i was.

one day in the gym i ran in between him a whole bunch of guys throwing the football around and i caught it and started throwing it.

apparently he fell in love. we *kinda* became friends (i still thought he was super awkward and NOT cute).

then we went to the movies one friday night and made out in his car afterwards.

a year after that i got pregnant with maddie (at 17). so i graduated high school, had a baby and got married all within 2 months. :)

the rest is happy history. been together now for 12 years, married for 10 1/2.
 
Awww... love stories are the best. :wub:

I was living in my hometown again: working a boring dead end office job, half-heartedly attending a gigantic church where no one would notice me, renewing my relationships with my parents and sister, and still working through the heartache of my divorce. It had been a long winter, so in January or February 2007, I posted a Yahoo! personal ad. I had resigned myself to having to live in my hometown forever-ish, so I always searched for people within just a few miles and always came up empty. I also had definite rules, based on my previous experience, that I vowed to never break: no kids, no crazy workout dudes, and no divorced guys if I could help it.

Jeff had his own ad and contacted me. I was not terribly interested, since he lived in Indy where I had just moved from, and he broke all the rules: a recently divorced marathon-training single dad of one boy. Like I said, though, it'd been a long winter and I got lonely sitting in my apartment by myself after work, so I replied to his query. We exchanged a few emails and then phone numbers so we could chat on the phone. I had NEVER met (and still haven't met his equal!) a man who could talk so much! *lol* We chatted nightly for abt a week and a half until we decided to meet.

[Jeff told me months later that he must have known, somehow, that this was going to work out because he drove 2 1/2 hours (one way) to meet me with just $50 left in his bank account and insisted on paying for lunch and dinner for us that day.]

He met me at my apartment and immediately gave me a huge bear hug when I opened the door for him. Although he'd sent me a couple pictures of himself before we met, he was SO MUCH CUTER in person and had a beard (I have a long sordid love affair with facial hair, fyi) to boot. I was pretty nervous for a few minutes, but his constant chatter put me at ease. I felt even better abt him being a nice guy and not a crazy rapist-axe murderer when the first thing we did after meeting each other was to go to a service at my church. On the way out of church, he grabbed my hand and while I drove us home in the convertible, he surprised me with a quick sweet kiss.

Our first date lasted 22 hours, and when I kissed him goodbye in the morning before he drove home, I knew this was something special.

We've been together ever since: I moved back to Indy in November 2007, were engaged in September of this year, moved in with him and his son in November, and planning our October 10, 2009 wedding. :wub:
 
I had followed my highschool sweetheart here for college. Ross was his frat brother. We met those first weeks of class. My ex and I broke up the week before Thanksgiving that semester, and the day I left for Thanksgiving, Ross told me that he could make me happy if I would let him try.

We started dating when I got back from Thanksgiving. I knew 2 weeks later that I had found "the one." That was 5 years ago. We got engaged at the end of the next March. Got married a year later, 3.5 years ago. Got pregnant on our honeymoon, and the rest is history.:thumbup:
 
Rob and I were friends in high school for about a year before we actually started dating. That was almost 18 years ago! We dated through half of high school and all of college and got married just over 10 years ago when we were 24 and 25. We have one beautiful son and another one whom we hope to be matched with any day now!
 
My exoomate hosted her own going away party inviting a gaggle of us to eat dinner and then go clubing back in late 1996 or early 1997. DH was actually the one who volunteered to be the DD for the night. We talked all night long and honestly I didn't think too much about him. I thought he was a really nice guy but that's about it. (I found out years later that he had a dream about me the very night, how flattering is that I ask?)

A few days later me exoomate and a few of us met for lunch and DH was there again. Since we hit it off so well that first night and since my roomate and a few other of our mutual friends were moving away (DH & I were both in the Air Force at this time, I later got out in 2000 and DH is still in the Air Force) we decided to exchange numbers so we could hang out. Over the next several months we hung out a lot just as friends. The more we hung out the more I liked him and the more I liked him the more I realized we were more than friends. I told him I loved him by mid 1997 and we've been together ever since. We married in 1998 and celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary alittle over a month ago!

I have always said that it's a good thing our Mustand sits without an engine, cause if it ran, we'd have at least 10 kiddos!!! :blink:
Click to expand...

they are hot, sexy cars aren't they? I would die to have an old one. DH doesn't care for the older ones. I love the look of the newer ones, with round headlights and side panels that resemble the look of the older ones. i like how they tried to 'merge' the two. we plan on getting one when the kiddos are older; can't fit 3 carseats in the back :D!!

i seriously get like goosebumps when i see one. i'm actually infatuated with a car! lol!!

sorry, threadjack!
 
DH and I met through mutual friends. His best friend was dating my best friend. They (our friends) went to a different college than we did and we were both supposed to go visit the same weekend. He had car trouble, so our friends worked it out so that we'd ride together. We'd only seen each other once or twice, but didn't know each other at all. Anyway, we had a great ride together but we were both supposed to be set up with other people that night. Somehow as the night progressed, we ditched our dates and wound up together. We dated for the rest of college and got married soon after graduation. We had our first baby almost 2 years after we were married and the next 2 1/2 years after that. We've been married almost 7 1/2 years now. :wub:
