A local park. I was with a friend walking the nature trail. (We were 16.) I saw my husband walk past and whisper to my friend that he went to our highschool -it was a very big highschool. She kept saying no he doesn’t and kept turning around to look at him. I elbowed her to knock it off. I said “He’s gonna think you’re checking him out.”

Well we stopped at a bridge on the nature trail and guess who should show up but my husband and his best friend. They came over and starting talking to us.

My husband is the sweetest guy, would never hurt anyone but he looked like trouble. Spiked leather jacket, long hair. I remember telling my friend my parents would kill me if I brought a guy like that home. 😃
 
At a Neuman Club Hike, he was one of the drivers to the hike area. My friend and I were the only women in a car of five men. My husband had his eye on a cute blonde. 😛 Luckily I never knew who he was talking about. Maybe it was another hike. :rolleyes:
 
Ok, i’ll be the first to admit it…

in a bar/dance club.

It is not something I would recommend to my future daughters, lol…but it got me my dream man. He introduced me to Catholicism. God truly does work in mysterious ways:D

Through a Catholic singles club. My husband was in it for many years before I showed up.
 
I met my wife at work, and that’s all I got to say about that! 🙂
 
Although we are not married, we met at work. I am a maternity tech and he is a medical technologist and I made one too many trips to the lab for “stuff”. It took about 5 trips before I caught his attention.

He was the boy next door. Married 37 years and have known him for 45 years LOL:D
 
I met my husband online, .com dating, and thank God every day for blessing our union. :bounce:
 
My wife had known each other for a short time. One evening I was asked by a friend to go to a singles dinner. I sorta went with another girl. Next to me was the woman who became my wife and across from me was the friend who invited me, who was on a date with my future Mrs. He was ignoring her and my date was ignoring me so we started talking. In the parking lot I asked her out and 18 months later we married and we’ve been married 18 years now. It took years for my friend to speak to me again. He should have paid more attention to her.

Blind Date - Just like my own parents who have been married for 37 years!
 
We were introduced by mutual friends, a method of spouse-finding that I highly recommend. The courtship process is much better when you start with someone who “comes with papers.”

But then, I’m in the school of thought that counts inability to hit it off with friends and family a major black mark, if not an outright deal-breaker. (Some families, it would be a deal breaker if they *did *approve!)
 
We grew up together in a small, rural town. He was the first boy I kissed. We’ve been married for 18 years:love:
 
My husband was sitting behind me in a political science class in college reading Animal Farm (ignoring the class, which was a pretty stupid class). He was the scruffiest guy I had ever seen (I don’t think he had ever shaved until after he met me – I know he had never dated!). I saw him as a challenge – easily the smartest man I’ve ever met, high principles, good Polish Catholic boy. Oh, and he cleaned up quite nicely!

Our 26th wedding anniversary is tomorrow (June 1).

…got on a school bus for a combined field trip for the mass media classes… we were going to visit local radio and tv stations… i was the last one on the bus, i stepped up looked down the isle of the bus only to see one remaining seat empty… next to this girl and i wondered what the heck was wrong with her, especially since no one wanted to sit next to her… anyway, i sat next to her, said hi, and the rest as it were is history… that was our sophomore year of high school, and when she completed college 6 years later i agreed to marry her:D
 
Well, not my spouse, rather, my girlfriend. But for that, we must look back many many years ago to First Communion, when I sat next to her and allegedly pulled her veil off (I don’t deny the charges…I just can’t remember…:o ). Fastforward 10 years to last October, I got her phone number while I was chatting with her in the back of our church. I called her the next day to go get smoothies. We sat in the park for like 3 hours chatting till her mom called my cell and said we had to come back. So we started going to church together every day. And here we are.
