Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Where did you meet your wife?

Met the first one in high school. I dropped a friend off, pulled out on the highway, saw this blonde girl sitting on the back of a truck. I stopped to ask her directions, as if I didn’t know where I was. She had just moved to our little town. I ask her out, she was 15, I was 17. We married a year later, first girl born two years to the day after we were married. We had two girls, stayed married 11 years. Knowing everything now, I would have changed to make that work. I still miss her. She found a good man, married to him 34 years. I thought being single would be glorious, it wasn’t. I still see her quite often at kids and grandkids birthdays. We always go to her house for Thanksgiving. My son works for her hubbys company.


Met the second at a country dance bar after being single for three years, been married 32 years Aug 1. We have one son. I get along great with her. We still go dancing every other Saturday.

Beat me to it

I met my lovely wife online and only told her the good stuff. Turns out she did the same, just had more to say.... We've been married 8 years and have made a wonderful daughter. August 6th the wife will be going trucking with me for two weeks. We'll see...

College. We only lived about 15 miles apart, and one of my cousins was one of her good friends, but we'd never met until our second year at the local community college. Been married 48 years come October.

Our wedding cost about $650 all inclusive... ! Went camping for the honeymoon.

I met my wife at a country bar. A bar buddy knew her and I was introduced to her when she came over. Took 3 months to as her out. Dated 9 years until her son graduated high school. Been married 14 years now.

It costs a lot to keep her drunk enough to put up with me.

I'm jealous of you happily married types.

I met my wife at Goldwyn Studios in Hollywood, where she was the executive secretary to the Exec. Producer of a teevee show for which I was writing. We began dating, fell in love and got married. That was 41¾ years ago. I've never once regretted being married to the most wonderful, kindest, considerate woman in the world. (With all due respect to those here who feel the same about their wives. )

L.W.

Back of the local pub...the publicans sister walked past and I annoyed her, she responded and hasn't been able to shake me for the past thirty-three years.

Irony being that neither of us are drinkers and all the drunks that assured her it would not last are all either dead or divorced.


I got the better deal.

First grade

Pike Lake

Teaching school. She was a English teacher and me Physical Education and biology. 34 years ago. I don't tell her how to exercise and she doesn't correct my grammar.

Lol....I met my wife on the phone to AAA.

I had a '66 Ford F-100 p/u, that suddenly refused to run. It would start fine, then die. I checked all the obvious stuff, then called off work for the day. Called AAA for a tow to a local shop, then went back to checking for problems.
FOUND IT! (Someone played a prank on me!)
Truck had an inline fuel filter I had installed less than a week earlier, and I could see fuel, but just to make sure I pulled the supply line and removed the filter (perhaps it had gotten blocked). When I released the supply line, the end dropped, and a mechanical pencil erasure poked out of the fuel line! It was just small enough to free float in the line and slide up tight to the fuel filter when the fuel moves. Choked off the fuel like a valve.
I called AAA to cancel the tow truck, laughing quietly at the joke. I was put through to the dispatcher, who couldn't understand why I was laughing. "Someone wasted your time, cost you work and pay, and that's funny? Don't you have better things to do than deal with pranks?"
I responded "sure, I could take a pretty girl out to dinner. When should I pick you up?" (She turned me down flat!) What i didn't know, was she was a trainee with a mentor at her side. She though it was nonprofessional and could get her fired. Her trainer had other ideas. "Girl, what the hell is wrong with you? The man just asked you out, and you said NO?"
She told me later, that my info was still on screen, and she copied it down, and sent me a car which still hangs on the wall to the effect of:
"Sir, if you were just being friendly, know that you made my day, but if you were serious.....I accept. "
First date was a 6hr phone call.

She worked for me as an admin assistant.
