How did you meet your husband?

I met mine through a blind date my brother Harry arranged. He had been saying for
awhile to me...that's the guy for you.
We went roller skating and my husband couldn't skate!

I met my husband on-line. Not a dating service, just a regular social site. We stated emailing while he was still stationed in the middle east. We continued to email and moved on to phone calls when he returned stateside. We had our first date July3, 2006.

Believe it or not - I lived across the street from his parents and they were my friends. I swear, I'm not a dirty old lady - but I am 13 years older than he is! He was 21 when we met and we have now been married for 6 years! Okay, I'm 42 and he is 29 - thus, the name of my blog: Mom of 2 Boys, Wife of 1!

I had moved out of a house I shared with two girlfriends to finally try living with a long time boyfriend. My future husband moved into my vacant room and we met when I was over one night watching Melrose Place with my girlys and he was moving his stuff in. Long story short, a few months later I broke up with the old boyfriend and began dating him. He aways said he was a 'rebound' guy, but the truth is we are soulmates. Good question!

I met my husband at Magoo's Pizza in Hawaii, which is now closed. :( He was traveling and I was in law school. We were married 5 months later, which is the best and most rash decision I've ever made!

I met mine through some mutual friends when he and I happened to be at the same event. Four months after we started dating, we were married :)

That was 6 1/2 years ago!

I met my husband at my favorite restaurant. I just finished my last dog sitting job and was on my way to pick up my dog from my parents home. It had been a long stressful week and I missed my dog so much....Yes, I didn't have much of a life back then. I went back and forth about getting a book from my home, going to Cozy Corner, order something to eat, and just relax for about an hour or just go and pick up Max. I was heading towards my parents and decided to make a U-turn last minute and go eat. I walked in to the restaurant and went towards my usual booth in the far corner. It was packed with 2 sets of couples. I didn't want to appear "so lonely", so I decided to sit by the front where it appeared single people were eating. I happened to sit across from a very handsome man. I ordered my food and began reading. The gentlemen's cell rang and I found myself listening briefly to him. He answered "Hello Jamie" and I thought, "Figures he's got a girlfriend." He was waiting for his friends to stop in and he'd head over. I began reading my book once again.
The gentlemen's friends came in and I found myself listening again to the gentlemen's conversation...They cracked a joke and I found myself laughing...I was mortified. I had been caught. I finished my meal just as they finished theirs. As they began to leave, one of the elderly gentlemen began speaking with me. I took the handsome gentleman's quite polite demeanor as a lack of interest. I answered the questions politely and found myself leaving seconds after the handsome gentleman. As I was walking towards my car, the man was throwing his french fries to the little birds in the parking lot. He said to me "I'm feeding the birds. How am I doing?" I told him they don't seem to be complaining. We talked more and he asked me out sometime. I blurted out how about tonight. Urggh...how desperate huh? We went out that night and haven't been separated since. That was 6 years ago. Since then, we have been married for 3 years and have three Handsome Little Men to love. Thank God for rough weeks, good books, and great food! I would have never met him.
We did find out we use to live near each other at different time just houses apart. I had spoken with him two years prior by a fluke accident. I had to call in for unemployment and I dialed the first three digits wrong and I had spoken with him. This did happen twice before. I suppose we were just meant to be and I just had to let God lead me to him...You can't fight destiny; you will eventually be brought to the man of your dreams!!!
Oh, and the person on the phone….Was his brother…how silly huh???

I met my husband on the job. I was working for a temp placement agency and they called me last minute to go into a company. I really didn't want to go because they only gave me an hour to get ready and get there, but I'm glad I went. He was my trainer. No longer work together, but been married 3 yrs now.

I met my hubby for the first time when I was fourteen and he was sixteen. My dad was the Super for a construction project that his father was working at. I worked there during the three summers the project was going and so did he. After that job was done I didn't hear from him for four more years. In fall of 2001 I started working for the same company he did and we hooked up. Two years later we were married! Go figure
