My answers:

We worked together. I was his supervisor, and he still likes to tell people he was attempting to 'sleep his way to the top.' LOL

We dated for about a month before I realized I wanted to marry him.

We held our wedding ceremony in a hotel in Ohio, but since our minister (also the Human Resources guy for our company) wasn't licensed to officiate in Ohio, we had to meet somewhere in Kentucky (our home state) to take care of the legalities before the ceremony. We 'technically' got married in our place of employment... in the Human Resources Manager's office.

We've been married almost six years.

My marriage is pretty much exactly what I expected it to be. It's not perfect, but I'm still happy with him.

Answer 2

My husband and I met when we were both 16 years old, we met through a mutual friend. For years, we were just friends until one night I needed company to come with me to my Christmas Party at work, I had asked him strictly as friends, but then as I was getting ready to go to the party, I was really starting to feel something, here I was with a friend that I had for about 8 years at that point, and I was feeling nervous, I had the butterflies! My husband tells me til this day he had always wanted to date me, even before that night, but for me, it was that night that I started feeling something. Well, that New Years we started dating officially and immediately I knew he was the one. We were always the best of friends who could tell one another anything and because we were friends for so long, I knew a lot of things about him, that maybe I should not have known, but it was good in keeping an open relationship.

Anyway, in May of 2001, five months after dating, we were engaged and then married in August of 2001.We were married in a historic church in NJ, where we used to live and we have now been married a little over 5 years.

As far as where my marriage's expectations, yes, I am where I thought I would be. We own our first home and soon we are planning on starting on having some children. It's great< i could not have married a better man!

Answer 3

We met in a Sunday School class that was also like a club/organization. I felt on our first date that he was the one because being in his presence felt like home. He mentioned marriage and kids and everything on that first very very long date, but of course I didn't take him seriously yet. Less than 2 months later, I knew I would have a very difficult time ever letting him go.
We got married in my hometown at the church I attended from age 9-25. Our reception was at the Marina 5 minutes away.
We've been married 1 year and a few months.
My marriage IS what I expected in many ways, but there have been many surprises that have required adjustments as well. No deal breakers, though. Nobody's going anywhere ever. We have a baby on the way too and he's already in love with her.
You got married in the Human Resources Department, huh? Interestin!

Answer 4

1) At work
2) I have no Idea when I thought he was the one. Once we started dating we saw each other every day, from the moment we first went out on our first date.
3) We ended up getting married by a minster in our living room, we both had been married before and the cost of a wedding was not in the picture.
4) We have been together for 10 years, 8 years of marriage
5) Well, that's a good question. Its pretty good considering we both have crazy ex's that end up causing most of the tension in the marriage. Lately he has been on a poker kick and would rather spend time with the boys playing poker than time with me. But yea its Ok

Answer 5

Ha! Met my husband because he answered a personal add I put into the newspaper. We hit it off right away.

We did things a bit backwards, but we dated for about 6 months and had just begun to talk about moving in together when I got pregnant. How long until I knew he was the one? Well, I didn't really. But he was so comfortable, felt like I'd known him forever, and had been from about after we first made love....which was about a week in. lol

We got married in the local county courthouse in the city we were living in at the time (he was in his last year of college) when our now oldest son was just over a year old.

We just celebrated our 10th anniversary this past July, been together for not quite 13 years.

Our marriage is what we made it to be. It started off extremely rocky and not at all what I'd envisioned. We'd both come from families with failed marriages, my family was extremely disfunctional, his parents divorced but were emotionally distant, and we had a kid we didn't plan on and were both in college. It was stressful and we didn't know what we were doing. But somehow we muddled through, and there have been more years than I care to count where I wasn't sure that we'd make it...and wasn't sure if I even wanted it to, wheree my husband felt merely like a roommate I occassionally had sex with. There were some good years, too, and we get along as friends very well. He's always been my rock, and he's a good father, and we both agree that divorce isn't something we want. So I got counseling and he and I talk more and I can honestly say that we're finally finding our way back to each other. I look into his eyes now and see the man I fell in love with. Like you said, it's not perfect, but we love each other and that's enough for me.

Answer 6

The quickie mart. I was buying rolling papers and Red Boro's, she was buying 40's of MadDog and Boone's Farm.

Naw, I thout she's get big n' fat after we had kids, but I nver spected she's be 500 pounds. Kind of a shocker. But it's all right. She's real nice.

Answer 7

We met at college. I knew--thought I knew--almost immediately. We were married 4.5 years later after living together for most of it. We've been married 13 yrs. It was good--not perfect--for years. Now I wish I were free, but have two kids, etc. You know the story.

My husband and i met on the internet in a chat room....

I moved to his state and we were together 2 years and then we got married. We got married at the court house. We have been married for a year now. And it definitly wasn't what i expected. He has gotten really lazy and mean. He yells at me daily. I never do anything right.
