    The weird guy
    I first saw my wife in a mannequin shop and she came to life it front of my very eyes. Oh wait!, maybe that was a movie saw in the the late eighties or early 90's That decade was one big blur that all ran together. THe real truth is I first saw my wife when I was about 3 years old she was my imaginary friend that grew up to be my imaginary wife. Due to circumstances beyond our control we never had imaginary children. My poor imaginary wife wanted them so badly. I think she still blames me for it. We've had our ups and downs but the sex has been phenomenal.

    Your weird friend and ally,
    Eric

    I met my husband for the first time
    when he was dating my sister. I was married at the time and had jsut come home from out of state with my newborn son. Well the marriage failed a year later, my sister and him never were serious, so when I moved back home, we were "fixed" up by a mutual friend and have been together ever since. He adopted my son when he was 4 (ex gave up his rights)and we have been together for 24 years ( celebrating 23 years of marriage this coming October)

    1980
    I was married to my first problem, he was married to his first problem. We were all living off base, Scott AFB in Illinois. We all hung out together, had many BBQ's. Both had spouses that were not nice people. The first night we really talked, he was playing in the band that the guys had put together. His wife wasn't there, my husband had left, asking Nick to take me home. dumb move. smart move - depends on how you look at it! As many people in the service, we ended up moving in different directions, but I carried his picture for years. I found him on Classmates in 2005, he sent pizza to my office (remember he is here in MN and I was in FLA). Then he sent a plane ticket. had to put off the flight due to hurricane Wilma, gotta say it was the most expensive one way ticket ever purchased! I've been causing him H E double toothpicks ever since!

    Great Question
    This is a great question – I have been thinking about this a lot to be honest.
    I was 20 and had just returned home from a year of college in San Diego-was not prepared for academics whatsoever and fell on my face. I got a job in a hospital working as an aide. She was sitting in a chair at the station and my first question was what her nationality was – (Filipino) she thought it was a strange question. I thought she would never talk to me again. I remember I walked into the men’s lounge and banged my head against the wall wondering how I could have been such a “Dufus.” We worked together for a few months and she finally had to ask me out because I was just too shy. One day she came to work on a day off and her hair was down to her knees, black like ebony and she was wearing a long dress – I couldn’t believe this woman wanted to ask me out! Our first date was seeing the movie “Jaws.” We were married in 1978 – 32 years this August!

    is where I met my husband we were in the same room playing slots and all the other women just swarmed him when he came in asking all kinds of questions and I was the only one who didn't care. I was single by choice and raising my daughter about to graduate high school.He talked to me 1st. and ask why I didn't ask any questions and I said well most of the men I saw in my line of work were in hand cuffs so already knew the ? and the answer and neither was any of business. so he ask for my e mail and I gave it to him and we talked like that for a day or 2 and he ask me for my ph number and I gave him the wrong one thinking that would be the end of that but he e mailed me saying I had given him the wrong number and offered me his, so I gave him the number and we spent hours on the ph. he lived in Atlanta Ga and I in Oklahoma so after a couple weeks on the ph and web cam online he said he was comming to ok and he drove 14 hrs to get here and the last 20 miles he got lost had him pull in and wait and I drove to get him. His favorite thing to say to me was dito and I had georgia on my mind (ray charles) on the cd playing in my car when I pulled into the parking lot he was standing outside his pick up with a napkin reading DITO on it and I had the music cranked and when I got out of my car and walked up to him said hello my little darling. I knew than it was love at 1st site. This was June 5,2004 we were engaged July 25th 2004 married Nov 6th 2004 we live in Oklahoma
    and happy as larks feels like I have known him all my life.

    Growing up my husband lived
    Growing up my husband lived in my neighborhood, and we always knew each other as it is a small town. Once we were both out of college and not in relationships with anyone else we started dating...Finally! I waited for what seemed like forever for him to ask me out. What a great husband and a model father!I could not ask for anyone more perfect for me! We make our friends sick with "mushy lovey dovey talk" After having our daughter, I felt like I was on cloud nine. When she was eight months old, Chris was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I'm terrified and try to remind myself each day to NOT worry and just appreciate everyday. I want my little girl to have her father for a long time.
    This summer My husband and I are going to Vegas for our 3 year anniversary. We were married there and had a blast. We are also taking our daughter, Cecilia to Lover's Key near Fort Myers, FL in August. That is where Chris proposed to me. It is a beautiful state park along the gulf.

    It was 1984 in Sept....
    We met on a blind date. It did not go well. In fact, I kinda just wanted to get rid of him before the date was over. He then stood me up on our second date about two days later to make up for the bad first date. Well, when you stand someone up, it doesn't make up for it, ya know? The third date, (yes, I was giving him extra chances because I was single, paid for dinner and movie) was much better. I don't remember if he showed up on time or not, but it was a nice dinner. We married three weeks from the first date. We're still married (25 years)and very happily I might add. We're still newlyweds. :o)

    Lets see if I can remember..........
    Met George July 30,1965 at about 7:30 p.m., just a bunch of kids hanging out. Started dating in high school and after George finished college got married, June 19, 1970, so this June 19th will be our 40th anniversary. I remember my dad saying when I was 17 that one day that girl is going to marry that boy and yep, he was right.

    I come from a huge Polish Catholic family and George is Orthodox from northern Greece so I remember our wedding like it was yesterday, hugh by today's standards, about 525 people.
