Well now that surprises me dude, ‘cause I figured…from your own stated and well-known proclivities…you mighta met her at the Golden Corral All-You-Can-Eat Buffet. I took her to Golden Corral after the wedding to try to fatten her up, it didn’t work.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.
Will Munny: We all got it coming, kid.

Met my sweet wife at an evangelism meeting 40 wonderful years ago.
Never was a butt man. However, that is the first thing I took note of when I saw her from across the room. I still enjoy it every day. I am definitely a butt man. I prefer the nottche

1. Straight out of college I went to work for IBM. We had to go through a 2 month training class. First day of class this wonderful woman walked in and went to the head of the class - she was the teacher. I thought I had better wait until this 2 months is over before I ask her out. Two week later, she came in on Monday with a ring on her finger. I figured I had better get to work. She wouldn't "date" me but she would play tennis with me - played a LOT of tennis the next 6 weeks. She returned the ring 3 months later. Married 6 months later. So enjoyed being with her - every minute, every day. After being together all day long, we would spend 30 minutes talking in bed before going to sleep. After 35 years, Alzheimer's got her (age 59).
2. 9 years later, I went on a missions trip to Colombia, South America. At the church supper the first night, she was seated next to me - she spoke no English, I spoke no Spanish. We were married 5 months later! I still don't understand her, but she is one heck of a girl!

What can I say, my wife just got really lucky.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

I shot a moose on Lorraine creek when I was 13 and she was 12. She was pretty cute and was up there picking berries. I gave her mom a moose quarter to survive the winter on. We went together in high school and she was always borrowing my stuff. We had our wild oats but we got back together when I was 27. We have been together ever since. She still borrows all my stuff.

Met her in the hospital when mom had a stroke, she was one of the nurses. Pretty, smart, sarcastic, mqking good money and independent. I was living half way across the county and she gave me her number when I left. We talked for months then I went back home for the holidays. Each of us had just gotten divorced so it was brutal honesty from the start. Couple months later she moved and 23 years later it's still brutal honesty...with a bit of sarcasm sprinkled in.

Met the wife at work. She was a waitress, I was the doorman/bouncer. Married a year later. Lasted 6 years.
Current GF - we've been together 5 years. I had just bought my Road King and was out riding around trying to get the first 1k on it for break in. I was lost in the county somewhere, pulled out my phone to pull up maps. Friend happened to call me as I did so. We decided to meet up at the Iron Buffalo (local biker bar). She was riding with him and I noticed her right away.
Ran into her again 3 weeks later and asked her out - been together ever since.

A blind date set up by mutual friends at college. I spilled her sloe gin fizz all over her blue dress before she left to see her boyfriend, who was taking her to a Cleveland Indians game. He must not have been much, since we've now been happily married nearly 40 years.

I was the DOS guru down at Cincinnati State. I taught one class a week on the DOS operating system. KYHillChick was a student. She started taking my class the November my divorce from Satan was final. The week before midterms, she let me know she was quite smitten.

She was out with her friends, her first night out after knee surgery. I asked her to dance, she declined due to her knee. She asked me to drink, I accepted. Started pounding Alabama Slammers by the pitcher(that's what she liked.) Made me SICK as a fookin dog the next day I prayed for death. I called her the next afternoon, got her ass outta bed took her for tacos. Been together ever since, married in Sept. of '85. She was and still is a damned fine ole gal.
