I met my husband at church!

Actually… he was on the “core team” for our LifeTeen program at church. The “core team” is the group of volunteers that run the life night programs.
And… well… I was… uh… the YOUTH! 😃 (he is 10 years older than me.)
That’s when we MET… I was still in high school…

But we didn’t start dating until I was in college… dated for about 2 years before getting engaged… and then married a year later…
And now we’ve been married for over 6 years! 😃
 
Met my dear husband in college through mutual friends, after I had been away for a semester abroad (and during that time his group of friends got to know my group of friends quite well). We hung out almost everyday (not alone) just as friends (he had a girlfriend back home).

Fast forward almost a year - I lived off campus so I never saw him, and my roommate came to me one day and said, “Scott got a makeover! He is REALLY attractive now!” So, of course, I kept my eye out for him after that and lo and behold (even though I had already been attracted to him before but ignored it due to the girlfriend), he HAD changed - no more glasses, different hairstyle, no more braces, no more Hawaiian shirts ;). Talked to him again. Still had girlfriend.

Spring semester, we were at a household fair (like sororities/fraternities minus the excessive partying and adding the faith) and my household’s table was next to a guy’s household that had a massive jar of pickled eggs - “Eat a pickled egg, save a soul” was their motto for the day. So, my friend and husband both kind of dared eachother to eat one and they did, but Scott couldn’t bear to swallow it, so he sat there and chewed on it for about 15 minutes, before he ran to the bathroom and basically threw up. Came back and I saved him with my Coke ;). We ate lunch - found out he broke up with his girlfriend and resolved to ONLY date Catholic girls from now on (she was Wiccan). I liked him by this point - he still thought of me only as a friend.

Next month - Singles Mingle Dance. I go with my girlfriends, as I do every year. We dance it up. Slow dance comes on - I’m sick of not being asked by a guy to slow dance (they’re sissies about this!), so I look around - Scott’s standing by and I’m comfortable enough with him to just go up and ask and it not be akward. At that moment, he’s trying to work up the courage to go ask another girl, who he’s planning to ask on a date. I go up to him, ask, he says “yes” and we dance. He immediately falls in love with me, dances with me 4-5 more times that night and follows me around the rest, trying to be near me (while I’m dancing it up again with my girlfriends). He’s never had eyes for another woman since and we began dating about three weeks later (after I spent A LOT of time infront of the Eucharist on spring break, making sure this is what God wanted), got engaged 3.5 months later, married a year after that and have been married for a little over 6 months now 😃 😃 :D.

Okay, that was a long story, but I wanted to share so thanks for reading 🙂 :o 🙂
 
I met my husband when I got a Saturday Job when I was fourteen and he was sixteen. We married when I was I8 and he was 20 and last year celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. We have four children two grandchildren.
 
He was still in college - his 3rd year of college. I had left college to enter the work force. We met when he auditioned to play keyboard in my band 👍
 
I met my spouse at an AA meeting.
I was attracted to him from the first time I saw him.
I liked him for a year but figured I didn’t stand a chance with someone like him.
But this little voice told me over and over if I didn’t ask him out I would be missing out bigtime.
So after about a year, I asked him out for coffee.
No big deal.
Just some time for us be alone and talk.
And he said yes.
And now we have been married thirteen years.

I met my dh after the college years and in my 30’s after daily Mass. He was in his late 20’s.
 
my husband and I met on a stuebenville retreat in Wisconsin although we were both from the mitten state. We were around 14 / 15 and became friends right away, after returning to michigan we decided to date after a few months and have been together ever since. we’ll be celebrating our 1yr wedding anniversary in august (also will be our 6yr anniversary of being together 🙂 ) Thank the lord i found him!!!
 
I picked while in college because I was in college, he was an Airman in the Airforce.

I met him at a nightclub. A friend introduced me to two men, one a gorgeous blonde the other a tall, skinny kid with a mustache and a goofy grin who could not dance.

This Halloween I will have been married to that skinny kid with the goofy grin for 19 years.😃 He still can’t dance.

A cute story, and a good reminder for the single folk ---- it isn’t always the most eye-catching person who’ll turn out to be the right one for you!
 
She was 14 and I was 17 when we met in high school through mutual friends and siblings.

We married young too. That was 33 years ago. Our daughters met their husbands in college.

Our son met his girlfriend (looks serious) at work.

You never know, so always be aware of your surroundings and your self (good behavior:) , respectful speech:yup: , and, never be slovenly in appearance:tiphat: ).
 
It is so great so many met in high school! I met my husband at a Super Bowl party almost 9 years ago. We’ll be married 6 years this February with two kids.

He was sitting at a table, reviewing the numbers for the game, wearing a horrible BudLight lizard shirt (remember that commercial?) and I thought, “I can’t believe he’s wearing that tacky shirt. He must need someone at home to help him dress.” 🙂 I didn’t really think that, but I tell him that sometimes just to make him wonder. 😉

Whenever I hear the country song “Broken Road” I think of him. ("That God blessed the broken road, that led me straight to you . . . ")
 
I was in law school and he was an older undergrad. I thought he was the most wonderfeul thing I had ever seen. I still do. It was over 4 years from when we met to when we had our first date though.
 
We met in College in an elective class “Intro. to Logic” - he was a Senior and I was a Freshman. We dated for two years before we got married and have been married for 28 years.

i met my DH well after college through a catholic singles website
 
I met mine after college, while we were working in different labs in the same cancer institute. He had started out working in my lab, then due to his boss’s lack of funding, moved to a different lab in the building. When the boss got a new grant, he hired me. The boss is actually the one who introduced us; he took me up to show me where some equipment was and it happened to be in DH’s lab. The rest is history. I cannot believe that was more than 5 years ago, it seems like just last year. 🙂
 
So far in our very unscientific poll, it looks like about 55% met their spouses by the end of college. I’m surprised about how many high school sweethearts there were–though, I guess some didn’t date in high school–they just first met then.

I voted for high school, but I really met my spouse the summer between high school and college.
 
I met my hubby when I was 18, he was 20. We were doing mission work together for a year (NET if you’ve ever heard of it). There is a no dating each other policy for the year you’re volunteering. I already had a boyfriend back home, but we were going separate ways. I thought that my hubby was attractive, but couldn’t do much about it. He knew that he was going to marry me 7 months after we met. We began dating 3 months after our year was finished. And we got married the next summer. Going on 4 years this coming July. Love him even more than I did back then. :love: Isn’t that great how that happens?
 
I met my wife when we were 5 years old. We got past our mutual hate of each other at about age 19 in college. We married at 25.😃 At 31 we will have three kids.

Your story reminds me of my grandparents. They meet in the sandbox at Holy Family School in Union City, NJ in first grade. From that day on everyone knew they would marry each other. They married after my grandfather finished college and had four children together. They were married 47 1/2 yrs when my grandmother passes away.

About a year later one of my grandfather’s 11 brothers passed away. A year after that he married his brother’s widow, who was my grandmother’s favorite sister-in-law. This month they celebrated their 16th aniversary (my grandfather is 90 yrs old).
