Well of course the relationship worked out! You were using 3.x Windows before Microsoft went and messed everything up. If you have been using Windows 95, you would have gotten fatal errors, and on Windows ME, it would have crashed before getting anywhere šŸ˜‰ Right on. I have something similar right now!

Do you have something for computers??? HEHEHE šŸ™‚ I know the feeling about the latter part too!
 
Itā€™s like something out of a bad romance novel. He was a magician on a cruise ship. I was a passenger, along with the rest of my family. I was a stooge for one of his tricks.

He asked me if I wanted to run away from home and join the circus with him. Eventually, I said yes. And I did.

My family ā€“ all nice, respectable people ā€“ were horrified that their college-educated daughter was running away with American circus riff-raff. Still are.

That was 18 years ago. He doesnā€™t do cruise ships anymore because of the children, but we still travel with the circus, and he still saws me in half.

I bet I am the only one here who can say that.
 
wowā€¦ :hmmm: you really have guts. I donā€™t know if I could have done that :yup: Thanks for sharingā€¦ and I will keep this in mind in case I see a magician on a cruiseā€¦

I was teaching in the Catholic school. He was teaching CCE. He was assigned to my room, and came early the first night to prepare for class. He left a note in my mailbox inviting me to the young adults dance. I took my sister and went. He kissed my hand after we danced, and my sister told me to marry him. It took about three years, but that I did.

Weā€™ve been married16 years and have 5 kids.

If we were going to have an award for the most unusual way to meet your spouse, I would have to say that you win. No questions asked.šŸ˜ƒ The way you met is romantic but in a quirky way. Does that make sense?
 
at a night club. Yep, we are still together, and still in love, married since november 2002
 
We met in the summer of 1982 at the Priest and Deaconā€™s Conference at the Univ. of Steubenville.

No . . . I didnā€™t steal a vocation šŸ™‚ He worked in the maintenance department and I worked in the cafeteria. He came in every day and sweet talked the cafeteria ladies into giving him free food. He saw me across the room taking meal tickets and got one of the ladies to introduce us. Weā€™ll be married 21 years in August. ā€”KCT
 
I am in no way married, and donā€™t plan on it for some years yet. I just graduated from 8th grade and I am really confusedā€¦hereā€™s my story:
I moved from the school I went to in 1-7 grades to another school for 8th grade, and I was totally myself (though that was hardā€¦I didnā€™t make many friendsā€¦) but by Dec, I started to notice this one guy, and as the year went on I noticed him more, and more. I still know heā€™s not the greatest Catholic, but I still ā€œlikeā€ him. I also noticed that he seemed to have me as a ā€œtargetā€ in gym when it came to playing certain gamesā€¦but I figured because heā€™s one of the ā€œpopular guysā€ heā€™s busy with the other girls which he still seems to be. So I just ā€œwatchedā€ from a distance. (Though he seemed to ā€œwatch me from a distanceā€ at school) I was totally myself, stood for my beliefsā€¦wore skirts (thatā€™s considered really weird) etc and I kept to myself that I cared about himā€¦now to make a long story short, I asked the guy to sign my yearbook (this was just on June 2nd) and this is what he signed:
ā€œSarah, you are the greatest gal ever. cyaā€

Now Iā€™m totally confused. I just graduated and I care about this guy (who lives really close to me) and it seems he secretly likes meā€¦ what would you make of this?:confused:

khkhk,
When I was your age Harlequin romance novels were the best friends I had. So I have just a little difficulty relating to a real life romance for someone your age. I guess this guy might like you based on what he wrote in your yearbook. One of my daughters has a great number of signatures in her school yearbooks. Many of them have the same tone as the one you shared. If this young friend of yours is really interested he will in time make greater advances in your direction. In the mean time enjoy your summer break from school. August and September will roll around faster than you think and once again it will be another school year.
 
Such beautiful stories!!! A co-worker set me up with my husband.

Gold Cup Award
for most unusual meeting of spouse
goes to
Penny Plain!
(I was wondering about your location: On a bus)

Iā€™d like to thank the Academy and all the little people who made it possible.

ā€œOn a busā€ refers to the fact that my family and I still travel with the circus for a good part of the year. Makes a more definite location difficult to identify.

Yeah, well I said I was confusedā€¦God answeredā€¦I now know that this kid is a real jerk!! (LONG STORY)
 
we went to different Catholic high schools in Detroit area, and joined an organization for HS students studying world affairs. he started dating my best friend, and I liked his buddy. They broke up over the summer, buddy got a new girlfriend, so DH and I ended up dating sr year, went to college in different states, missed each other so much we got married soph year. he finished school and got a job, I also got a degree 10 yrs and 3 kids later. 37 years in December.
 
I suppose it would be called a ā€œchance meetingā€. My first husband introduced us:D . I actually met my current husband before I married my first husband. You see, my first husband died just one month after our 4th wedding anniversary. My current husband was there to help and we became good friends. Ten years (yes - ten years) later we were married.šŸ‘ We will celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary this coming October:love: .

I am glad you discovered this. Your very special someone is out there. Pray that God blesses him.
Have a good summer!
 
On a soccer field. I was captain of a co-ed soccer team and she read about our league in the Washington Post. She contacted the captains ā€“ as we lost a bunch of women in the off season, I convinced her to play for us.

Our first date was to a DC United game.

Our 18 month old son is obsessed with soccer balls and yells ā€œGo Go GO!ā€ whenever I watch soccer on t.v.
