Love at first sight or no?

Yes I did. I met my husband when I was 14 years old. We were married when I was 18. We've been married now for 12 years and couldn't be happier.

I don't think it was love at first sight when I met my hubby, but there was definitely a spark! We dated during my teenage years.
My parents moved and I lost touch with him for about 5 years. Then we just happened to run into each other and two years later, we were walking down the aisle!
So, I always hoped we would marry, but if fate didn't step in, he'd probably always be "the one that got away" to me. I'm so glad he isn't tho!

I did have love at first sight, and saw a future for immediately. It didn't work out that way for us. He married twice, I have yet to be married (engaged though) to someone I love thoroughly. I never thought that we would end up together, but today, I am so glad I have him!

Well, first of all, there wasn't "sight" per se, since we met online and talked via phone/e-mail for about 4 months before we actually met.
However, let me share my story in answer to your question. (Please forgive me, it will be long.) I had recently left an on-again-off-again 3-year relationship when I was at church one night in November 2003. My pastor had just returned from some serious medical issues and, without going into a lot of detail, wept as he spoke of the love and support he had received from his wife.
I often write in my journal after church, although on this occasion, I ended up reflecting on that moment where he talked about his wife. I began thinking about the relationship I had just left, and the ones I had been in before that, and realizing that, in the grand scheme of things, one of the reasons things hadn't worked was that they weren't what I really wanted. And I began thinking about what I really wanted. The next thing I knew - I have no memory of actually writing this - it was two hours later and I had written a very detailed, intimate profile of the kind of woman I wanted to marry.
As I continued looking, I mentally added three things to the profile, although I never actually wrote them down:
1. No one with a disability. Two reasons. One, I have a disability myself and was concerned about being able to take care of a partner with a disability. Two, I had previously been involved with a woman with a disability and I found it was all about her.
2. No single parents. Again, in a previous relationship, I found myself battling the ghost of her son's biological father - who, by the way, was a no-account womanizer and had never acknowledged his child's existence.
3. No long-distance relationships. I hadn't had any good experiences with them up to that point.
In two weeks, I will be marrying a single mom, who is in a wheelchair (cerebral palsy) and who currently lives 900 miles away.
So, to answer your question, no, this wasn't what I was expecting. But God has a weird sense of humor sometimes. And I will tell you that I knew pretty quickly (less than a month) that it was going somewhere. Not quite "first sight" but relatively close to it in the online world.
And then, when it was actual first sight ... and I kissed her for the first time, and told her I loved her for the first time ... yeah, I knew then. :-)

When I first made eye contact with my husband, I knew he would change my life in some way...I don't know if I knew I would marry him but I knew he was something life changing and major. It was love at first sight. (That sounds so ridiculous, I know!) That was over 6 years ago.

No. I was one of those people who never turned a guys head until late teens--when I did it was all a bet...not been confirmed, but I'm pretty sure the very first guy I dated had been put up to it..long story won't go there. The man I'm not married to said when he saw me he knew I was the one for him, I knew him and liked him as a friend--he's very hyper and outgoing, he was the only one that once the first guy stomped my heart into a mud hole to give me the reality check I needed..he also added in that he liked me and wanted to date me, I don't remember how long after that talk we started to date but September we've been married 14 years.

Absolutely love at first sight for me. I felt like I was struck by lightning. I still get butterflies every time I see him even after 15 years together. There is no doubt in my mind that we were destined to meet and live our lives together.

1st marriage NO !!! HORRIBLE tragic, mistake. No LAFS.
2nd marriage, YES. Love at first sight. At least for me. Friendship ensued, and eventually a perfect 20 year marriage to an Angel.
She left me escorted by a multitude of Angels last November. Now, I'm just waiting till our souls are united again.

No such thing as love at first sight, but I was very attracted to him! Yes, I believe that we would have ended up together...
