She was babysitting my sister's kids...and lived next door to her. While I dated a couple of others during early years of conversations and laughs and occasional dates, I never could quite get her out of my mind.

She's five years younger than me which was a BIG problem when I was 19....not a big problem any more. She's slowly catching up to me.

Married 34 years this year...and can't really imagine life with anyone else.

I met my wife at one of my fraternity parties in college. She wa shanging out at our house because several of her friends were dating guys in my fraternity. I wandered into a room where she was sitting, and she said "come sit by me". I looked ove rmy shoulder, thi8nking she was talking to someone elese, and then when I realized she was talking to me, my suave response was "uh, why?". Fortunately, she replied "because I like you".

That was in April 1998, and we've now been married for three years.

Congrats, Steve! My number is 32, and my sentiments are exactly the same.

I walked into my first college class in Sept. 1968, decided I'd get the best-looking guy to ask me out, and the rest is (wonderful) history...!

We met at a Bourre' card game through Tenspeed (a board member and chatroom member)! We were both in college at the time. We will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow!!

I met my husband almost 8 years ago online. It is a long story, but after awhile I came on a visit, and stayed.

We (my BF & I) work for the same state agency, at the time same division different sections. I had to go to him for work advice and stuff, and we became friends and then from that fell in love. Bunch of other stuff happened in between, but I wont bore y'all.

Almost 2 1/2 years later we are still together.

I met my husband at the gas staion where I worked while in high school. He came in to put gas in his car and I was the pump attendant (back then we pumped the gas for customers, not the customer pumping his own gas). He asked me out and I said yes. He filled in a blank spot in some history of my uncle, who he went to school with. I then asked him if his friend's name was DP and he said yes. I told him that DP was my uncle and now I knew where the watermelons had come from when I was about 10 years old . It blew my uncle's mind when I asked if he had been stealing watermelons lately when he came into the station where I worked. As of Jan18 2006 it will be 31 years.

We will celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary tomorrow!!

Congratulations! May you have many, many more years of happiness together.

Well I met my husband at college while sailing on Lake Martin. I knew it was true love when I got sick all over him and he asked me out again.

Thank you so much DeeBee. It's been a struggle at times but the marriage was worth it!

Not married here and I know this is a little off topic. My parents met in Germany where my mom moved from Czechoslovakia after WW2. Dad was a young GI stationed in Baumholder and met my mother at a social event arranged for GI's and the local girls. Due to immigration issues it took a while for my mother to come to the US (they wanted to get married here). On November 22, 1956 they were married in Carbondale, PA. The marriage, which ended in the death of my mother in 1982, lasted 26 years and like any marriage was not without its problems. They always worked it out though.

My husband had just moved to Phoenix from Tucson after a very sad and messy divorce. I think they were married only 6 weeks and had known each other for a LONG time. Anyway, I thought he was cute. He never wore anything but blue jeans and white button down shirts. A friend and I made score cards and started rating everything that walked down the hall. (There were TONS of fighter pilots around, so you have to imagine the environment). He consistently got an 8 or 9 (out of ten). I paid his boss $50 for his phone number. Apparently guys talk (imagine that) and he asked me out. The rest is pretty much history since we've been together ever since, 14 years. I began working for that test organization the next year and we were married the year after that.

Our wedding anniversary was Sunday.
