Hubby/Significant other questions
The other post about our "hot" guys made me think of this.
How long have you been married?
How long did you date your husband before getting married?
Where did you meet?
(I don't want to exclude any single people, so tell how long/where for your significant other, too!! )
We have been married 8 yrs.in March, dated 6 yrs before that. I knew who he was a long time before I met him, but we actually "met" at church right at the end of my junior year of high school. Turns out that the previous weekend we had both been asking friends for each other's number. Oh those were the days!!! I think we fell in love on our first date and have been going strong ever since.
Your turn! Have fun remembering.
How long have you been married? 18 years!
How long did you date your husband before getting married? From 11-7-86 to 10-24-87!
Where did you meet?
We were fixed up by friends!
We met in November of 1986 after a friend of mine and a friend of Gary's co-conspired at the Dairy Queen in Port Washington. Peggy ran into Steve and she started asking him if Gary was going out with anyone or not. Then she called Gary to ask him if he wanted to meet me or not. He said he would think about and to call back the next night. The next night, he agreed to meet me, so she called me and asked if I wanted to meet him. I said yes, so Gary called me up and asked me out. We went out to eat at a German restaurant and then we went back to my apartment where he proceeded to show me some of the photographic equipment in his camera bag! He is a photographer!) The second date went much better because we were going out because we wanted to, and not because everyone had arranged it. By Christmas, I was falling fast and hard and knew I didn't want him to go away! He proposed in March, two days after my birthday--March 14th. We decided to get married in October, so the next few months were a blur of wedding plans, a wedding shower, dress fittings, picking out flower, and talking about the cake, besides talking with the minister and planning the service.
For a picture of him, when he was "hotter" (LOL!), here is a picture of us on our wedding day.
We've been married for nine years, next month. We only dated for 19 months before we were married. He was my boss's room mate and often stopped by my workplace to chat with my boss. I'd just gotten out of an abusive relationship and had zero interest in settling down with anyone. When we started dating, I let him know that I'd be seeing other people and I wanted to be upfront about that. He was fine with it but told me that he'd seen his dad that day and told him that he was going out with his future wife that evening. He still makes sure to rub in the fact that he was right about that! We'd planned a Winter wedding when we got engaged but I found out that I was pregnant and we bumped the wedding up by 10 months and there's been no looking back!
How long have you been married? 15 years
How long did you date your husband before getting married? almost 6 years
Where did you meet? in 3rd grade, Mrs. Taylor's class
DH and I were classmates in 3rd grade and I still have our class pic with both of us in it. He claims that he had a crush on me then. He sat right behind me and taught me how to draw WW II biplanes--LOL. I changed schools, moved to GA and back, went to private school, and then we ended up at school together again in 9th grade. We were both in the same big group of friends and we all mostly group dated. Our first date was Jan. 19, 1985 and we doubled with my best friend (who is still me best friend) and her boyfriend at the time. We had been such good friends all through high school, but who would have EVER thought that we'd get married. We ended up at the same college because we both got scholarships, dated throughout without ever breaking up, and waited until we graduated to get married. We knew we would get married by the end of our freshman year, so the waiting was VERY hard, but he was surely worth it! Since we started dating so young, I have actually only ever kissed one other guy besides my hubby. I went with other guys to dances and stuff, but only had one other serious boyfriend---who was a jerk.

Looking back, I was really too young. I had my first baby 4 months after we were married (you do the math) and have been a wife and mother all of my adult life. I have no regrets, but I really don't recommend anyone following in my footsteps.

Pam, I knew DH when I was in 7th grade band, but I don't think we ever talked to each other! He was an 8th grader and played saxophone! I vaguely remember a red-haired saxophone player! LOL! Who knew that my future husband was in that bandroom. Even if we didn't ever talk to each other back then, it is still neat that we have the common history and can still talk about our rememberances from that time! You never know about the people you know, when you are only 12-13!

Yahoo Personal Ads
I responded to his personal ad, we chatted for about a month via e-mail & chats. Our first blind date was a month later & 5 1/2 hrs. later he headed home. We were living 2 hrs. apart at the time & fate would have it that he ended up moving 1 hr. closer. We would see each other on the weekends & e-mail during the week. We found out a lot about each other during those first years (still are). I fell & broke my foot almost 2 years into our relationship...he moved in to take care of me & my DD. He said that something clicked then & he knew this was it, what he wanted. Within 4 weeks he asked me to marry him.
He is my soul mate & the one I was looking for all my life. We are both divorced, so we definitely have a better of idea of who we are, what we wanted/needed out of a marriage. So, we waited a longer time to make sure that this was it.

Where did you meet? I was dating a guy named Ed. He wasn't anyone that I was serious about but we were dating pretty exclusively. One Sunday he asked me if I'd like to go water skiing. He and his friend Karl co-owned a small boat. It sounded like fun, and Ed called his friend to asked him if he could get a date and join us. Karl went to Penn State, and had just gotten home from summer term. He didn't have anyone he wanted to ask, but volunteered to come along as driver or spotter.
We drove over to his place, rang the doorbell, and his mother answered. She said, He isn't ready yet, but come in and wait". He mustn't have realized we were downstairs waiting, because with no more than a towel around his waist, he dashed down the steps, yelling, "Mom have you seen my suit"? I'd seen a lot more than he intended, and I liked what I saw. Red faced, he scrambled back up stairs.
We had a wonderful time water skiing that day. The sun was hot, and the water glassy smooth. We took turns on the skis all morning, and by lunch time we were tired. I’d packed a picnic lunch, so we pulled into a lovely cove, with a sandy beach, waded ashore and chowed down. After a beer or two, we all decided to nap a bit in the sunshine before we started skiing again. We stretched out on towels with Ed between Karl and I. I awoke, and slowly sat up to find Karl staring at me. It was as if an electrical current passed between us. Neither of us said a word, just kept looking into each other’s eyes. Ed also awoke, and that moment ended, but despite the danger of losing his close friend, Karl called me that night.
I’d heard that Ed had taken out a girl I knew, so I asked him how he’d feel about me dating someone else. He said fine. Karl was in a wedding that next weekend, and he asked me to go with him. His parent were there also, and I ended up sitting with them, since Karl was at the bridal party table. His mother asked prying questions the entire time, and made me feel so very uncomfortable. I should have run for the hills then, as she only got worse later on.....But that’s another story. Karl and I were very careful to spare Ed’s feelings, and their friendship survived. So did my marriage with this guy with his electric eyes.
We've been married just over a year, and we met when we were selling cars in TX. We dated for 15 months before we got married. We got engaged after just 3 months!!
Oh my. I met my husband at my job where I was a cashier and he was a manager. I had a crush on him for a good year before I got the guts to say anything. We dated for a solid 2 months before I got knocked up and were married 7 months later.
I am still amazed that such a bad, rushed, irresponsible start resulted in such a good thing. I guess we both just decided that it had to work and so it did.
We will be married 13 yrs this August.
We dated 3 1/2 months before we got married(No, I wasnt pregnant)
We met through a personal ad in the newspaper. shhhh dont tell anyone, Im the one who placed the ad LOL.. My parents still dont know how we met. I told them we met at a bar. Technically we did. Thats the first place we arranged to meet was at a bar. I arranged to meet at a bar close to my house in case I did not like him, I could be home quickly. He was in the Navy at Great Lakes, which was about 25 miles from my house. I figured he was sort of safe.
2 days before our first anniversary my son was born.
I was almost 29 when I got married.
Well i started going out with Danny
15 years ago today = )
I married him 2 years and 4 months to the day (June 7,93)
We will be married for 13 years this year = )
And i met him because my best friend was going out with his cousin (at the time) and they introduced us = ) i always tell her we're the best thing that happened from that relationship lol = ) actually come to find out he used to detassle at the same time i did and he said he always helped me finish my rows and this would be about 2 or 3 years before we actually "knew" who eachother was = )
We have been married 18.5 years
Got engaged 6 weeks after we started dating.
We got married 13 months after that.
I got engaged at the age of 19 and married at 20.
We met at work.
We have been married for 2 1/2 years. We lived together for 1 1/2 years before we got married. We never really dated. We met at work. We worked for a place that packaged frozen seafood. We were together all day at work and things just happened. He came over to my house a couple of times. Then one day we decided to move in together and have been together since. Such a romantic story, huh?
We will be married 9 years tomorrow. We dated for 3 years before we got married. We met at work. I thought he was really hot the first time I saw him. He walked into the elevator and I said to myself, wow, who is that. I asked around and found out he was in training. I started going to the bathroom when they had breaks because his training class was right across from the bathrooms. I would pass him in the hall each day. However, when he asked me out, I freaked. I had dated someone from work before and it ended badly. He was a big mouth and always discussed everything about us to anyone that would listen. So, I was nervous about dating someone from work again. Finally, he wore me down. I agreed to go out with him if he didn't tell anyone from work. We ended up dating for a year before anyone from work even knew.
Happy Anniversary Debbie and Brandy and Cat!
We will be married 20 years on Feb. 22.
We dated for 3 years 8 months and could never find the time to get married since he was in the Navy.
We met between our sophomore and junior year of high school. I started a job at the same restaurant he worked at.
I had sworn off guys at 16, lol. But dh won his way to my heart by being a good friend first.
He popped the question between Thanksgiving and Christmas our senior year by asking me to get the gloves out of the glove compartment. I looked at him funny and thought "he never wears gloves." And there it sat.
We were married just before we turned 20 and bought a house. A house at 19 freaked me out especially since dh was over 4 hours away and his rotation was Gaeta, Italy and Norfolk, VA.
Thanks Marg it's the going out anniversary but still special to me = )
How long have you been married? 17 years
How long did you date your husband before getting married? Got engaged after going steady for 1.5 yrs. Got married 1 yr. after becoming engaged.
Where did you meet? In college
This is a story I love to tell. My college roommates and I called guys who we thought were hot our "lust men". DH was a year behind me and when I first saw him as a freshman I thought, "WOW!" I looked him up in the Freshman Register to learn his name - Mike. (Shame on me for I had a serious BF at the time. LOL!) I admired Mike from afar and often followed him up to the salad bar at the dining commons just to get a closer look. My roommate dubbed him my "ultimate lust man". Both of us were in serious relationships so I figured nothing would come of it. Fast forward to junior year when my BF and I were not getting along. We were sitting together eating lunch in silence when Mike walked by. I sighed and thought to myself, "Dear God, why can't I have HIM?!" Shortly afterwards Mike caught me checking him out. During that brief moment when our eyes met I felt an instant connection with him. It was as if I was looking into the eyes of someone very near and dear to me who I had known and loved my entire life. I got goosebumps! I shook it off as being embarrassed at being caught oogling over him. He smiled and went on his way. A year later, after we had both broken up with our SOs, I bumped into a friend of mine (Tina) at the College Pub Club. She invited me over to her table and guess who was there! Mike! I pulled her aside and said, "Tina, you know Mike G?!?!" She laughed, "Yes, we have the same major so he's in a lot of my classes." Me: "OMG, he is my ultimate lust man!" She grabbed my hand and guided me over to the table where she only introduced me to Mike. LOL! Later that evening I was standing alone waiting for my roommate so we could get ready to leave. I noticed Mike was walking in my direction. I actually looked behind me to see if anyone was there because I figured there was no way he was coming over to talk to ME. LOL! We chatted and he asked if I'd like to go to the movies the following week. We instantly clicked and are still clicking almost 20 years later. Wow, that reminds me, the 20th anniversary of our first date will be this April. Hmmm...
We have been married almost 12 years.
How long did we date? We dated 3 different times. The first time was for a few weeks. The second time 5 or so months and then he cheated on me. Five years later, we ran into each other again. He tried so very hard to get my attention all night but I wouldn't even look at him. Two days later I felt guilty and called to apologize and asked if we could be friends. We met for a drink and 6 months later we were engaged. We married a year and a half later.
We met through a mutual friend. It was a blind date. However, neither of us remember our first date. I remember the night, I just don't remember him being their.
We were 27 when we got married.
We have been married 5.5 years. We started dating when I was 13. I asked him to a church social at camp and of course he said yes. We often go back to the same spot I asked him. I eventually broke it off and we didn't go to the social together. We dated until I was 15 then broke up for almost a year. We still went to the same church and everything. I was still close to his family. He graduated high school and I was a senior and we started dating again very seriously. I graduated hight school at 16 and 4 months later we were married when I turned 17. He was 19 when we married. Now we have 3 girls and every day I can't wait for him to get home from work to see him. He is everything to us.
