We met in college. I was a 26 year old returning Freshman and my wife was the 20 year old receptionist (also a Freshman). We married a year later. That was 15 years ago.

I met my future wife (I can’t wait 'till May 28th
) over the internet. There weren’t any singles in my age group at my parish and I’m off in the corner of my diocese making meeting other catholic singles tough. Neither of us would settle for anything but a committed catholic as a spouse so we joined catholicmatch.com.
When she came and picked me up at the local airport (I’m a pilot) I knew she was the one. The long distance thing is tough right now - I’m in Dallas and she’s in S.E Louisiana, but I know its worth it in the long run.

We met at the circus, natch.
I don’t think there was ever a “moment” when we realized it was True Love. We just got more and more happy to be around each other, and we became more and more contented.
He makes me laugh.

I first became infatuated 
with the woman who would become my bride at a square-dance. :dancing:
But the first time I met her was six months previous. She and a (female) acquaintance of mine had shared an apartment, and they were splitting up into separate single units. I was among a group of friends when a call came that my (future) father-in-law and brother-in-law had rolled into down with a truckload of furniture, dead tired, and could anyone come around to help unload it?
So I always say that the first time I met her, I moved her bed
While her father watched :bigyikes:

I met my DH at Franciscan University. I was a Sophmore, 19 and seriously thinking about being a nun. He rode into my life, (literally off a bus) and it was love at first sight. He was this tall lumberjack looking guy and I just knew.
We had plenty of ups and downs, including a stint of him discerning the priesthood. But I always knew that I would marry him and have a family. We were married in July of 1998 and have two beautiful girls(and 1 in heaven).
I had a very serious relationship in high school and thought I would marry him but God works in mysteriously and truely blesses us.

Interesting…I know your nephew…Podo…I met my wonderful husband at a bar!!! I don’t recommend it though… too many creepy guys with one thing on their mind, lol.
I had broken up with my boyfriend of two years about 6 months before…
That night my friends insisted I go out with them… I didn’t want to. But they finally convinced me. I swore to myself and them that I wasn’t even going to look at a guy that night… I was done trying to find a boyfriend!!! Ha ha…
Funny thing is that my now husband had the same situation that night… he had sworn off women after being devastated by his ex-fiancee but his friends dragged him out anyway.
We met…we dated… I met his family…and we married just over a year later
It has been just over 5 years of marriage now.

I met my husband when we were 14 at a Ron Riley sock hop at a Catholic High School in Chicago’s south side. We dated on and off for many years. He went out of state to college, and then off to the military- 2 years in Germany. We stayed friends all those years. At 26 when he came home from the military we started getting serious about dating. Two years later we married, and began our family. We have been married 29 years.

Here’s my great conclusion… there were several times that I really thought I had found the perfect one - love at first sight, etc. but, thankfully, God saved me from each of those relationships (didn’t seem like salvation at the time but when I see those people now & think about being married to each of them - yikes! God was right - as always!)
My DH and I met in the Jaycees (a young person’s volunteer group) and we were great friends first – we went out in a group of people & he even was kind enough to listen to my complaints about the guy I was dating at the time! Eventually we realized that not only did we enjoy one another’s company as friends, but that there was love in our hearts as well (yeah, I know, sounds very sappy!).
My biggest advice to young people is to be sure that the person you marry is someone you LIKE as well as LOVE. It’s easy to give up on a relationship when the going gets tough if you don’t really like the person to whom you’re married. Most of my friends who are now divorced say that they never really considered the friendship side of their relationship before they married.
Take your time – I didn’t marry until I was 30 and am quite glad I waited to find the right person

i met my soon to be hubby at 14! he was 16 and picked on me incesently for two years, we hated each other! we had mutual friends though so we hung out a lot and became close friends. i moved to the Houston area 2 years later and we lost touch. little did i know he had an aunt down here who was getting married! i ran into him at the mall i worked at i was 17 at the time, we exchanged numbers and talked often.
in 2002 i called him and invited him to a new years eve party my friends and i were throwing, he drove down the three hours and came to the party. at midnight he kissed me and we have been together ever since, we were friends for about 5 years, dated for 1 and have been engaged for 1 we’re getting married on Dec. 11 of this year. who ever said marry your best friend was absolutely right, cuz even when they DRIVE YOU CRAZY which they WILL do, you still love em. im only 21 and hes 23 but we’re ready and cant wait to spend the rest of forever together and then some.
