In a bar (how cliche), on a Tuesday, after working finishing working at both my jobs at the time. She was in grad school full time and working part time, so she had a full day as well, but we had both recently finished college and still had that crazy energy where you can go from 7 am to 10 pm, and going out afterwards still seemed like a good idea. Her part time job and my second job were at the same mall, so we had some common friends. I sat at her table and her roommate gave me a dirty look, and she didn't seem too interested either. I turned around and started holding court at the next table, and was on some sort of comedy roll, with people laughing up a storm. She left her roommates table to hang out with the new guy. The rest is history.

1987
Met my wife right out of HS. Went to spend 3 weeks with my cousin after High School , ended up moving in with my cousin for like 5 years because my wife lived right behind my cousin. So the summer of 87 was a blast, we have been together ever since!Comment

He used to sit behind me in a general ed class in 1987. We met again by a chance encounter on campus, and he remembered my name and I remembered his. I gave him my number and he called the same night and asked me out to a BBQ. I went just for the heck of it and I fell in love that evening. He tolerates my Planet of the Apes obsession. How can I not fall in love with somebody who runs like Cornelius? We have been together for 20 years and have 3 boys: 9, 6 and 3 years old.Last edited by jessica; May 5, '08, 1:57 AM.Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.

18 years ago I was working at Hampstead station that still had the old type lifts that had to be operated by a member of staff from the inside. She was the only passenger for that lifts trip which takes about a minute and a half to reach the top landing...I said hello and joked about the lift getting stuck. She worked in the stationers round the corner and I used to go in there for my drawing and art supplies and we got chatting ...3 weeks later we had a drink for someone who was leaving and after getting absolutely drunk went into the shop...slumped to the fllor and when she came over asked her out..she told me later she only agrred so I would leave the shop..lol.
We now have 3 kids Nyssa 16, Jake 13 and Lucas 7 and when they demolished the old lifts at Hampstead station I managed to get the ornate iron grill from the top of the lift where we first met.....we did use it as a headboard for the bed until one night it fell on my forehead.....lolENGLISH AND DAMN PROUD OF IT

My wife and I worked in the same hospital. I worked in IT and she worked in registration.
We had a new IT project for registration, that went horribly awry. As a result my Boss had me sit in registration and babysit the printers that were malfunctioning.
So I had time to flirt and talk to the lady over the dept.... Needless to say 8 months later we were married, and in 2 weeks we celebrate our 10th anniversary.
Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?Comment

Actually, I have known my wife since we were in grade school.
Whenever I tell the story, I feel like I should be sitting on the couch in "When Harry met Sally". She was a grade older than me and lived on the other side of town. We went to the same church and we constantly were running into each other but didn't really know her very well. In 5th grade, the schools in our area were experimenting with combination classes so they took about 5 5th graders and shoved them into a 6th grade class to see how they would do. I was one of the 5 5th graders and she happened to be in 6th. I had one of those grade school crushes but just kept it to myself.
We ended up going to the same Jr. High and High School and again, always had a bit of a crush on her but didn't really know her that well since she was a grade ahead of me.
Finally, we ended up working at the same catering company as teenagers. That's when I became completely smitten with her but she seemed disinterested so I never got the nerve up to ask her out but we became really good friends.
At the age of 19, I finally got up the nerve and invited her to a fraternity formal at my college....she said "yes". We have been together ever since. I once asked her why she didn't seem to reciprocate the early signs that I was interested in her and she said that she knew I was the one for her and it scared her since she had never dated anyone seriously. She said she had a feeling that we would marry some day but for whatever reason, everything had to come into alignment for it to happen....so it is one of those marrying the girl next door stories."The farther we go, the more the ultimate explanation recedes from us, and all we have left is faith."

During a concert, she was still seeing someone else then, but that didn't last long after we met
