How did you meet the love of your life?
 
Well?


How did you? Was it love at first sight? Was it a blind date? Did you steal him from another?

In a nightclub on Christmas Eve 1994. He looked bored and I felt sorry for him. I wouldn't say love at first sight, maybe 2nd or 3rd!

On the second date he said "don't get too attached to me I'm moving to Australia" 14 years later with 2 kids we made it together!

PMSL!!! :thumbsup: Wendy, I like your style!

Met mine at an archery club. Took me many many months to nab him and years to get him to make an honest woman of me.

But well worth the wait.

Also quickly turns off PC before OH's head swells!!!!

Found mine in the gutter.




















Literally. He was repairing the gutters on my house and yes it was love at first sight for both of us. 18 years later we are still like a couple of newlyweds :o

Met her on a company weekend away in Tunisia- she was with her hubby who had won the trip for his sales performance, and I was 6 years her junior and single (and very green) at the time.

Absolutely love at first sight, red haired beauty. We didn't get hitched but were close to it over the following 8 months or so- we lived 150 miles apart and family issues prevented it and we lost contact.
Last April I did a spot of googling and found her again as she has an unusually spelt Christian name, and got in touch, she replied. We have since met for a day's chinwag, got on famously, and will be doing so again soon- we now live 155 miles apart but IM every day several times.

Oh yes, I should have mentioned, we have a lot to catch up on as until December we hadn't seen eachother for 35 years, when we were in our 20s. Now she isn't red haired, and I have less hair. And we are still the love of eachothers lives. Complications? You bet.

Pissed in a night club doing the rowing boat song (1st time round)

Next thing I know there are a pair of Lycra clad legs wrapped round my waist;)

I think that was about 28 years ago:eek:

Met my husband on a bus, I was drunk and I tripped whilst getting on and grabbed his ankle to break my fall. 22 years on and he still picking me up when I am pissed :)

In a nightclub four years ago next month.
He told me to walk away from him as he was moving to Australia one day.
I tried to walk away but he wouldn't let me, so here we are 4 years later living in Australia with our two dogs, and very happy :thumbsup:

We met at work.......same place as Sam above :lol:.....

Knew each other for years before we finally got together. I ended up moving in with Anita "for a month" whilst I looked for somewhere to live.....she's still waiting for me to move out :p
