I've never really asked. I'd think it'd be awkward for them to tell and for me to listen. Strange really since I've known my parents all my life but don't know this.

They were at a holiday camp. My dad was running from a girl with callipers (Clunk Click) He sate next to my mom and asked if he could buy her a drink. The rest is history

Andrew1968 gave the answer i would have given
I know how my own eventually got together he chased her for weeks by phone!!! His friend worked in the local police station, the only place there was a telephone in the town at the time, (this was 1950's Ireland) My mum was a Nanny to the town "royalty" and they were the only other people in the area who had a phone. My Dad begged his friend to let him call my mum when the lord & lady of the house were away and to cut a long story short, they eventually went out dancing together and then got married in 1963, They were together til 1991 when sadly, out of the blue my Dad died, he had an anuerisim no one knew about, he was gone in 15 mins, but anyway, my mum and him were a real old fashioned couple, looked after each other all the way from beginning to end, they knew real romance and patience and tolerance and love. I have yet to meet someone all this time later who has those qualities, to me they are what makes a love life, not clothes or cool hair or material things, humanity is way more important than how people look or appear.

My parents met when my mum was 14 and my dad 17. She was in a pub with her much older sister (who was 20 at the time!)
He asked her if she wanted a drink and my aunt let him buy her a coke.
A few weeks later, he saw her again in the local fish and chip shop, and asked her how old she was. She told him she was 15 (it was her birthday the following day anyway!)
He asked her if her parents would mind if he took her out one evening and she replied she didn't know, he'd be better off asking them so he did!
The rest as they say is history...when my mum was 18 she was married to him, and had me when she was 19.
Its really cool because everyone said it was just "young love." Young love that has lasted 30 years and still going strong.
Now me and my younger brothers are all grown, they've having a second childhood and have a better social life than we have!! :)

That is strange. I know how my parents met. My dad used to hang around my mom's older brothers. She was 12 then. Later in life they met again, mom got divorced from her husband then and my dad was on the rebound of loosing his wife of cancer. Shortly after seeing each other again they got married. No they did not live happily ever after. My dad was her fifth husband, they had 9 kids together and mom brought in two kids in to the marriage, dad brought none. They were married 18 years,then they separated and divorced ten years later. They R both gone now.

How can it be awkward, unless they add that they had sex on the first date?.... Ask them, I'm sure they'd be happy to tell you.
My parents were at a company picnic. My mom, the employee of the company....and my dad, the son of another employee.
A softball game in session . . it was my mom's turn to bat. She hit the ball with such force, it attracted my dad's eye and he insisted he had to meet the gal who could hit so well.

Yes, my Daddy was in the Navy at the time, and my mother went to the USO dance with her friends and met him. This was during the Korean conflict, so they had to keep in touch through letters and such. Whenever he had a leave he came to see her until they eventually got married.

Yes. I asked my mom when I was in my 20s.
Mine met through a dating service. They were married for 45 years (he died in October).
Ask them. Some parents have interesting stories to share. :)

Yes, my Mom told me the story several times how she threw an empty Pepsi bottle over her shoulder to discard it and it hit her soon to be new boyfriend in the head. No kidding!
