where did everyone meet their spouse and the story

[allen]

I will start with my experience;
I was driving home from work one night and in front
of the local arcade on Main street Winchester, KY, I saw
this beautiful blonde wearing tight pants and this white
poets shirt and told myself, you have to meet her.
With me been very shy, I called the arcade and asked for
her and we talked for a few minutes on the phone and she
took my number and said I will call you when I get to my friends
house, I said that is great.
A few hours passed by, it was now 1:00 A.m and she finally called
and we talked from 1:00 until 7 the next morning when she had to
head home and go to work, she lived 65 miles away in Shelbyville,
where we live at now and have for 11 years.
I met her at a gas station before she left so shed know who she was
talking to and we both fell in love( feel sorry for her now)with each
other and that was in 1996, we married later that year and have been in
love since and have 3 kids, two boys and a girl .
Thats my story, what is yours ?

[Chug And Red]

Chug and I met through my ex husband. They both started working at the same place, on the same assembly line! A month after they started working there, there was a company picnic, which was not fun for me, I had two kids in diapers, and the youngest had the squirts that day, so I spent the day changing diapers, making sure the kids got to do their rides, and made sure they ate too. Anyway, at the end of the day, my middle son who was 4, decided to disapear! Thankfully Chug went to look for him, and found him! That was 19 years ago, we have been best freinds ever since then, and got married on Valentines day, 1995, we have been through hell and back, and our love gets stronger and better everyday. I have 3 son's from a previous marriage, and Chug loves them as if they were his own, my middle son loves him so much he wants to change his last name to mine and Chug's, and have Chug adopt him! Because of Chug, my son's open doors for women, give up their seats if there is no place for a woman to sit, they say ma'am and sir, and show respect for their elders, no they are not wimps, they are young men who were raised with manners! My favorite thing Chug told the boys when he and I got together, he told them "If you EVER hit your mom, you had better run, because that will the last time you raise you hand against her!" Red

cool stories

I bought hay from my hubby to feed my horses. I was on my truck, he was throwing up bales and I wore short shorts, and he said, nice view from here when I bent over. Hmm..ok, sounds good to me.
He never would unload trucks for people, but he offered to follow me home and unload the hay. Hmmm..ok, sounds good to me. Asked me on a date, about year later moved in together and married 3 years later. Been together over 16 years now.

I was in a bar one night playing in a doubles foosball tourament, (which we won) while sitting at a table waiting for my next match I noticed a magazine on the table next to me and I picked it up, it was a magazine full of women from all over the world looking for penpals. While flipping through it I came on a picture of a really beautiful Filipino girl, I thought to myself "why can't she live here, why does she have to live 8,500 miles away, I would love to meet her"...

The magazine stayed on the table and after I won each match and moved up the tournement ladder I would sit down and look at her picture. After a couple hours I decided it would be nice to write to her so I kept the magazine and called the number in the magazine the next day to get her address.. Addresses were sold $2.50 each, the man I talked to told me the magazine was 6 months old and if she was pretty she probably had a 100 men writting to her and if I wanted to correspond with women in other countries I should buy more address, he was a good salesman so I bought 10 addresses of women in Europe, South America, and Asia.....

I wrote letters to all 10 ladies and waited for replies, about 3 weeks later I started getting letters from all over the world, but none from my future wife. I continued to write to the ladies and it was really nice to learn about other cultures and to get to know them.....I still wrote my future wife Sally a couple letters even though I got no replies.....3 months later I got my first letter from my future wife....

It turned out all the letters went to her mother who lived on a different island, her younger sister would read the letters to her mother and her mother forwarded the letters she liked to my future wife, my wife didn't want to write to me because she was already writting to over 30 men regularly and was getting letters from over a 150 men, she was overwhelmed with letters.....I know this because she showed me the box of letters when I visited her.

Sally and I corresponded for about 9 months before I decided I wanted to meet her in person, I made plans and flew from St Louis, Mo
to San Francisco and from there to Manila, Philippines, and then 500 miles south to Cebu, Philippines where Sally lived..... It was a 4 hour flight from St Louis to San Francisco, 18 hours flight nonstop from San Francisco to Manila, and then another hour to Cebu.. 23.5 hours in the air not counting the lay over time in San Fran and Manila.... I left St Louis at 2pm in the afternoon and landed in Cebu, Philippines 28.5 hours later, I basically spent 23.5 hours in the air, 5 hours on the ground and flew 8,500 miles on a blind date.....

I spent 3 wonderful weeks in the Philippines, I returned home and we wrote for another 6 months before I asked her to marry me, I returned to the Philippines and brought her back to the states on a fiance visa.

All of this was without the internet, in 1996-97 there was only dialup and internet was nothing like we have today, basically just websites.. It took about 5 weeks to mail a letter and get a reply to that letter and a phone call was $3.00 a minute then........

We are celebrating our 14 anniversary this year....

I had grown up in oil camps in foreign countries, he had grown up in the Oklahoma oil/farm fields. When I hit highschool age, I had a choice to go to a boarding school, or live with my Grandmother in Small town USA, I wanted that.... In the 9th grade, I sat very scared and shy in a new school, the late bell rang, and in came the loud, boistrous, football team. They were laughing and teasing this big 'ol farmboy, who was laughing right along with them, and handing it right back, I fell in love. That was 30 years ago. We're one of those "high-school" romances everyone likes to joke about, but ya know...I don't get the joke, we were 14, he's my life!!. Thanks allen!

I met Deb when I went to work for the East Mountain, TX police dept at the very beginning of my police career. She was the city secretary and worked in the same building as the PD. I was in a terrible marriage at the time and therefore wasn't much on talking with females. I figured I had enough on my hands with the one at home. lol Sooo, Deb actually thought I was an arrogant jerk. Well, I left East Mountain for a better paying job with a larger department and that was that. Fast forward about 7 years and there I was at home by myself, divorced, and wanting someone to talk to. I had recently gotten my first pc and was surfing one late night and I get a message that someone wanted to chat. I could tell from the name that it was a female so I said ok. Well, after a couple minutes she types,"I know you". I said no you don't and she came back by telling me where I used to work and my childrens names. Surprise!! She also told me that when she knew me 7 years earlier that she had thought I was a jerk. So, to make a long story short, I told her that if she'd have dinner with me I'd change her mind. She agreed and we wound up marrying about 11 months later. Now we have been married for 8+ years and are best friends and wonderfully happy. I reckon I'm not such a jerk after all

Met mine in Germany. We were both MP's in the Army.

I was stationed in Germany in Jan 1980. Walked in the barracks and saw my wife's picture on the bulletin board she had won soldier of the month. I kept glancing at it for a week. When she got back from leave I asked her to a movie, she said yes. We got married DEC 1980, in a German castle, Cool. Honeymooned in Paris. Still together after 30 years.

I had a married friend that was doing the "cyber" thing and he started "cybering" with some woman (also married) on the west coast (CA). This led to some actual conversations tween the two, the woman had a girlfriend over so the three were talking. My friend mentioned to the woman that he had a friend that her friend might like. I was just getting a PC but didn't have it yet so I talked with all of them at my friends house a few times until mine came. When I got set up about a month later the womans friend and I started talking privately, eventually exchanging phone numbers which led to me going over there for about 2 weeks in July which led to her moving here in September. That was 1999 and we got married in 3/8/03 (if I show her this and get that date wrong this could be my last post ). That the Readers Digest version of how we met.

I was working in an office, where every day my co-worker got a phone call from his girlfriend. They started a running joke, that they needed to get a girl for me, and proceeded to set me up on a blind date with his girlfriend's best friend. That was the best date I ever had, and that was 40 years ago. We were married 37 years ago and she still is my date.

While working as 'housepainters', my Uncle forgot our lunch, so we went to a local malt shop, I was attracted to the waitress, after calling her boss to see if she was married or 'taken', I asked her out, & we were married two months later, that was 35 years ago.

[The Beep Goes On]

I was a manager trainee at a lumber/hardware store in the Keys. She hired on as a cashier...the first time I saw her is still a fresh image. The assistant manager had the hots for her, but we ended going out and moving in together. We got married in Houston where her folks were, after, I'm ashamed to admit, she asked me twice. Then came the girls and then her time. It was ten irreplaceable years never to be forgotten.

 

[fistfulladirt]
