How did you meet your spouse/significant other?

Question

Let's do a fun one for a change guys. Best story wins best answer!

Answer 1

I met my husband through my cousin. Because he was interested in her lol.
They had dated previously beforehand. He was working out of town, and had been chatting on the phone with her off and on for a few months. He came home for a family funeral one weekend, and decided he wanted to ask her out again.
She kept putting him off and saying no and so then he decides to ask for my help, since she's my best friend. So I say yes. I do everything in my power to try to get these two together!!!! One night, I arranged for them to both come and help me decorate my house for the holidays. He shows up, but she doesnt. I call and call her, and she says I've just had a shower, my hair is wet and I don't want to get sick. I'll be down in an hour. Okay so an hour goes by, and she doesn't know. I call her back and she says, "I'm not interested and I don't know how to tell him." I get off the phone and it isnt my place to let him know how she feels, so I tell him she's not coming and I dont know why. We hung out that night, and we clicked. He stopped calling her, and he starts calling me. We talked on the phone every single night for a month. He came home for Christmas on December 21st of 2005. We started dating. In June of 06, he asked for my hand in marriage. On July 7th, of this year, we were married. SHE WAS MY MAID OF HONOR!! lol..
We're so happy together and so deeply in love. I thank her everyday lol.
It was a bit weird at first, but everything is cool now. We all hang out together and double date.
Life couldnt be better!

Answer 2

I met my husband at our old work place in a restaurant. I was the hostess and he was the food server. It was a Super Bowl Sunday (Cowboys vs. Bears) and I sat in an area waiting for my orientation near a bar. I noticed this cute guy walking by serving his tables. Then I saw him again during my orientation. He was eating during his break. We both were introduced. I thought he was really cute. Well, we became co-workers. I always looked forward to work. I would get there early enough to see him and talk for a moment. I loved it when I sat people in his section and how sometimes I'd be following behind him and checking out his bum-bum. It would just make my night. Well 2 months working together (no one had a clue that I had a crush on this guy), his shift ended and I was still working. We both said bye and he walked out the door. He turned around and walked back in and asked if I wanted to go out and watch a movie (Jackie Chan movie). I said sure. Not even an hour went by and he calls and asked if I had a bf or if I was married because he didn't want to get into trouble. I said nope! Well, we went to the movies and had a few drinks. Nothing happened for the next 3 dates. It was just casual dates. Well, I don't know who kissed who first but from that moment on, things got serious. It was so amazing to be dating him. No one at work had any idea that we dated until one night, we all went clubbing after work and finally the secret was out. After 3 months of dating, our co-workers found out. Now it's been 11 yrs later and we have a beautiful daughter together. He's a wonderful husband, father, and provider. I appreciate him more everytime someone asks this question.

Answer 3

I used to live in Eastern Europe and moved back to Canada about a year and a half ago. When I got home I had "reverse culture shock" and didn't feel I could stay there, so I moved across the country and stayed with my uncle for a few weeks before meeting a girl who had two roommates and they needed a 4th person for their house.

So, I moved into the 4th bedroom. There was this slightly nerdy guy who also lived there, and we instantly became joined at the hip! We were best friends pretty quickly and did everything together. We hung out after work every single day and also on the weekends.

After six months, I moved out to be closer to work and one day we had "the talk" (he started it) and the rest is history! I was freaking out because I didn't want to lose our friendship, but it's been almost 18 months and we're so perfect together.

By the way - I came to this city saying I'd only be here for six months (it's been 20 months so far) and that I didn't want to date anyone while I was here! So much for those ideas. ;o)

Answer 4

In college. We were both the same major - civil engineering (CE). Every year in May, the CE department has a banquet where they hand out awards (there is a competition every year around April with a lot of events, some of them engineering related, some not). Well, I had participated in an event, and my guy had just transferred into the school a few months earlier, so he had only been involved in a different event and didn't have time to go to the competition. I got there with one of my friends and sat at a table, and my guy arrived kinda late, and there weren't many seats left, and he ended up sitting at my table. Well, we started talking, and ended up just talking to each other the whole evening. He looked up my school email address over the following weekend and sent me an email asking me out. We have both since graduated, and have been together over 3 years. We hope to be married next year.

Answer 5

In a yahoo chat room, not sure which one it was though. I think that they got rid of it, maybe a Greensboro or North Carolina chat in June 2005. I had just went through a SERIOUSLY horrible break up and had moved in with my parents temporarily , I had no night life so I chatted on line in the evenings. Same for him, we both worked odd schedules. I think we were the only real people in the chat room the rest were porn bots. I don't remember talking in it, just sitting and he sent me a private message asking how I liked being a EMT, so we chatted for a few weeks and talked on the phone..for long periods of time. Then we went out on our first date on my 21st birthday :) I couldn't have found a nicer, caring, generous, Christian man so It was a pretty good birthday present. He lived about 40 mins away and after being inseparable for 4 months, we moved in together and now we are getting married Dec. 1st 2007. Seventy some more days to go, Thanks Yahoo!! You were good for one really great thing. It's amazing how God works miracles over the internet.

Answer 6

He and I knew each other all of our lives. His parents rented an apartment my grandparents owned before we were born (we're only 6 days apart). He and I really hated each other most of our childhood and didn't start being somewhat friendly to one another till we were about 16. After that we slowly started becoming friends. Now if you look at us, we look like one of the happiest couples there could be. It's still a shock to us that we're even together given our past. We have a really good story of how we got together but I don't have enough time to type all of that too.

Answer 7

Saw him online on an enthusiast board. Talked in IM's and email for a while, then I went to meet him face to face 2 1/2 hours away two states over.

We are now together for over four years and getting married June 2008.

Answer 8

I met him in India. It was an arranged marriage. But God's hand was in it though. Yeah, it sounds so cliche' but true. I didn't want an arranged marriage, for all the reasons most americans say no to this type of nuptual. But I figured, that the guys in India were ready, even if I wasn't....so I decided to give him a fair shake. Ok, I met him because his cousin came to see me and I told him I didn't want an arranged marriage. He went to a wedding where my husband and his family were. He told him about me. Then my guy wanted to meet me. We met...didn't say much, and exchanged #'s. Our families were cool with each other. We courted for three months. I told him i wasn't for arrangments, but I told him I wanted to marry him. I did, i didn't know y. I just fell head over heels. So through it all, he just kept in mind that I wanted to marry him, and I guess ignored all the other crap i was saying about arranged marriages. Through the whole ordeal, he kept reassuring me that I'll be a good wife, and we'll do fine in a marriage. We've been married a little under four months now, and everything's going strong so far. I just miss him though. Oh well...he'll be here before I know it.

Answer 9

I was at the park for my friends birthday party. she and I went to a Catholic high school together and she had invited a bunch of kids from her neighborhood that went to the public school. He was sitting across the park alone so I went over to talk to him and he offered me some of his soft drink , and we talked for a long time. When my girlfriend saw she said it must be true love because he never shared his soda with anyone. We dated for a year and a half then were married for 27 yrs. Now divorced...but that's another story

Answer 10

I tended bar the place my hubby frolicked with the adult males...(he's a chippie) One weekend an entire team individuals went out bar hopping and my pal fastened it so as that there could in basic terms be one place left for me to holiday (Like 3 vehicles of individuals) and it became into with my now husband. we've not been aside because of the fact! She ought to have seen some thing there and theory we'd be sturdy jointly! We have been jointly living as "married" for 12 years and finally tied the knot final April! I won't pass into the uninteresting info of that, yet my son became into 6 on the time and if we've been given married we could have been financially screwed by ability of the IRS. He has raised my son as his very own and we've been all very pleased jointly!
