Question for married folks. ;)

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

When I was 22, I decided it would be great to follow a dace-course, for singles. One day a guy kept stepping on my toes, so he asked if he could get me a drink. The rest is history..... . I knew immediately that he was the one! We got engaged after 3 months and married 6 months later . All this happened almost 29 years ago, and we still live happily together

I have to say.. I'll share my story, but.. I know that in my heart, he is the one. I am 23 years old, Mike is 24 years old. Here goes:

Last October, Mike saw me on campus on the Oval (oncampus), I don't know what made him notice me; and when he did, he never forgot about me. What I looked like, especially. He told his roommate that he was walking with that he thought I was really cute. So, I didn't even hear anything about it until I returned back to OSU for the winter quarter, which was 3 months later. Mike is my best friend's boyfriend's roommate. So, I already had met my friend's boyfriend, and the roommate, Beau that was walking with Mike that day who saw me. Mike told Beau to look and Beau goes "Oh I know her, that is Michelle's friend!" but we didn't think of stopping and say hi to each other at the time.

So 3 months later, my best friend set up for us to meet, and we both didn't know, the first night, we didn't talk much, we were scared of each other. The next night, was the Monster Truck rally, which was our first "date" so Mike says. After that, the rest was history.

We are still together, a year and 3 months later. He's everything I wanted in that significant other, that sense of humor, personality, oh man, I love it the way he makes me laugh no matter what the situation is. He's a wonderful guy, eventhough there are times that I wanted to kill or strangle him for just the way he is, you know... men! I believe that he is one of a kind, and he's a keeper.

Well first of all...Congrats!!

I'm not married, but I might as well be. That's what he says. The other night at the bar we frequent the bartendar asked us if we were married and Bruce said - close enough.

So we met almost 5 years ago on match.com. I was a bit leary since he was way out of my age range (he is 13 years older). But as we talked and got to know each other age wasn't a factor AT ALL. On our first date I felt like I had known him forever. 3 weeks after we met we planned a vacation together. Less than one month after we met we said our "I love yous". 3 months after we met we went on our first cruise to the Caribbean. 5 months after we met I moved in with him.
March 22nd will be our five year anniversary and yes, we are still not married. LOL It's just not the right time (financially) for us. But that's okay with me because I am happy!

So have you picked the date??

Congrats!!

When I first met Andy at a Comic Convention my heart did a pitter patter. Problem was... I was dating someone!!

But the relationship went south a year later and a few months after that Andy asked me out. And then 4 years later we were married.

Congratulations, that must be a great feeling.

When I first met Andy at a Comic Convention my heart did a pitter patter.

That is practically made of win!

That is practically made of win!

Ha! Thanks. Should I have mentioned he was wearing a Boba Fett costume and it was when he took off the helmet that my heart pitter pattered?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Congrats Cathy!!!! I hope that everything works out for you.

Ha! Thanks. Should I have mentioned he was wearing a Boba Fett costume and it was when he took off the helmet that my heart pitter pattered?

Seriously. That's just cute! I have to say that's the similar feeling I got when I met Mike. When he said hello, I guess you can say, "he had me at hello"..

[Alysser]

Congratulations!! I am so happy for you. I hope you live a very happy life togather.

I think I knew from the very moment I met Jason...

We went to ladies' spa night together *giggle* he was willing to even put on a dress. We watched the man show together, and he stayed till dorm hours were over.

We started dating a few weeks later, after I took him home with me for the weekend. Sounds strange, but he was a friend, and I had just started driving. It was going to be my first time driving home. 2 1/2 hour drive. A girl friend backed out at the last minute. I asked everyone I knew. He's the one that said yes.

My mother still refuses to believe we weren't dating at the time.

[sirrahved]

Ohh, and congrats!

FIRST OFF< CONGRATS!!!!

I have known my husband my whole life. My mother and his mother were best friends since they were kids(still are). My dad and his real dad were best friends since they were kids.

Rickie moved away when he was about 8, came back at 15... We have been together ever since. I have tons of childhood pictures of us together

[k9krazee]

I'm loving these stories!

Congrats Cathy! How exciting!!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Yay! Congrats! I'm so happy for you

I met my husband threw, of all things, an online video game. The ironic thing is that my ex-hubby introduced me to the video game, as I didn't like video games at the time. Threw our online characters, we became good friends, and, as my marriage ultimately ended (for reasons not related to the video game at all), I started talking to my current hubby more and more on the computer. We became such close friends that we actually became best friends. We spoke on the phone on a regular basis. We fell in love but were too embarrassed and ashamed to admit to one another. He was, after all, in TX and I was in MI.

After being friends for over 2 years online, one day, upon hearing him tell me he was going on a blind date, I admitted my agony of him dating, and that I was totally in love with him. I knew that he sure seemed like the one as soon as I admitted to myself and him that I was in love. He told me he felt the same way, a couple months later he booked a flight to come meet me for the first time. Since I first started talking to him, he told me that the only way he'd ever fly on an airplane is if he were dead. He was petrified of airplanes, yet he knew he wanted to meet me bad enough to suck it up and face his fear.

We knew before we even met face-to-face that we were meant for each other. It was obviously fate, as neither of us played the game to actually 'meet' people. Just a couple months after meeting and spending a week together, I moved to TX (houses and cost of living MUCH cheaper). 4 months after arriving in TX, we were married. It's been 2.5 years and the best years of my life.

Congratulations that is wonderful

My hubby and I actually met online originally... and I really had that feeling before I even met him. We talked for a long time online and on the phone and I just felt such a bond with him. We finally decided to meet in person and the second I saw him that was it. We were married a year later.
