When/Where did you meet your spouse?

[YosemiteSam]

My wife and I both has ties to the Dallas Mavericks. She was in town visiting and at a Mavs game and we met at the game.

She lived in NY, I was still in Texas. Not long after that, I was traveling mostly to NY on a monthly basis for business. Every time I came up, and wasn't busy with work, she would come out and see me and we would hang out. (do the tourist crap or see a Yankee/Knicks game or whatever)

After about a six-seven months, she would fly down to see me in Texas, or meet me in Chicago from time to time if I was working there.

About two years into it, I applied for a job in NY for the hell of it. They paid my moving cost and I got an apartment. A year later we were taking vacations together, and a year after that we tied the knot.

Met at work. She worked one shift, I worked another.

Some of the ladies at work said we should go out.

All she knew about me was the guy with tattoos, all I knew about her was the girl with all the jewelry.

We went out and this coming July we will be married 16 years but probably been together closer to 20.

I used to tease my wife and tell her that I seen all of that jewelry and thought I was marrying into money, instead I found out I would be helping her add to her jewelry collection.

On the school bus the first day of 5th grade as I moved there that summer. She was the last stop and I was the only person sitting alone....told her that "no spazzes can sit with me" so she sat four to a seat somewhere else.

I met my spose when we were both at school dating different people and my girlfriend kept telling me that she was gorgeous and i agreed in my head . We later broke up and asked her out and the rest is history

You would never believe me if I told you because I'm playing WAY out of my league...

You cannot leave us in suspense! Who is she? Famous? TV Star? Model?

If I win a two dollar scratch off I jump around and start saying I am Hill Billy Rich :laugh2:

Thanks for this thread; it reminds me how lucky I am.

Great story Bob. I never tire of reading your perspective.

I met mine during my seventh or eighth year of college....her freshman year.

Well done.

At Target in Aberdeen, MD in the electronics aisle. I tried to break the ice by asking her which printer she thought was a good one - she sarcastically responded "well, they all print."

We started hanging out that weekend and haven't stopped in almost 4 years.

Thought this would be fun.

Just gotten out of the Navy and had my first attempt at living as a civilian.
All my buddies had been married while they were in the service but I wanted to whoop it up and play the field. Bought a convertible and sports clothes,to help my chances.
Put out the word to my friends that I wanted a skinny blond that could dance and if they found one before I did to bring her around. Sure nuff, here comes one in where I was working, bringing this tiny thing with him and introduced us. It was almost time to get off work so I suggested that she hang around and I would take her out to eat mexican food. She did and we did.
The only time I couldn't eat mexican food.
Now there is a couple of versions of what happened next.
1.She fell in love with my convertible and I had to marry her to get to drive my car.
2.When I met another woman, I couldn't pick her up to go out because my car was with her(skinny blonde)so I finally married her.
3.I tell it that she married me for my money because she quit work when we got married.
4.She asked me to marry her and i didn't know how to say no cause she had that puppy dog look.

By the way, she had been a dance instructor and that was my third requirement.Needless to say around three months later we did the deed and I have given a lot of thought to could I have done better if I had waited or looked around more.
Must wholeheartedly say I have the perfect woman for me and have no regrets.

I was a graduate research assistant for a summer internship program at the University of North Texas in 2000, she was one of the interns. We sort of dated for the first year (not exclusively), she was 21 years old (7.5 years younger than i) so i wanted to make sure we sowed our wild oats before we got very serious. We got into a serious realationship in the second year, got engaged in year 5 and got married a year later.

 

[ethiostar]

I met mine during my seventh or eighth year of college....her freshman year. She was partying at one of my friend's houses with another girl that I would go on to date for two years...

She dated a guy that I played rubgy and partied with while I dated her best friend/roomate...

Life happened, and we hooked up about four years later. Gettin' hitched next month with a little one due in August.

Congrats tom, that's great news.

Actually we met in the old nfl.com chatroom. She passed both of the required test. She was a Cowboys fan and my dog liked her.

Now how many of her tests I passed I have no idea. :laugh2:
