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

I was teaching a class at South Alabama, she was a student

Pulled into McDonald's in 1968 with a friend. We were hot and sweaty...and he screams into my ear "pull in next that car...I know those girls". Long story short he married one and I married one of the other two....I got the best deal. His marriage was
done in less than 2 months when she started cheating with her ex boyfriend. We are still going strong these last 50 yrs...gave her a big 50 yr anniversary balloon on the day we met...only been married 47 yrs. Best friends and lovers ever since 6/5/68.
She can't understand how I know the exact day we met. Hell, I know the exact time! 5:20 pm EDT.

I met Mrs Mag when she was dating my best friend, things din't work out for them so I got her drunk and kept her that way for 32 years now.

Skyway bar in Idaho Falls. She was on a first date with an acquaintance and my date and I were just friends so I bought her a drink and she winked at me.

Wednesday was our 37th anniversary.

This reminds me of the time back in about 2002 or so when a buddy's sister was liquored up and we got a picture of her knockers as she flashed a few of us. Her face wasn't in the picture....so we got an idea: When my buddy came back from the bars bombed out of his mind we showed him the picture and he yells out: "those are some nice TITS!".

We broke the truth to him the next day that those nice tits belonged to his sister. God that was funny. I still bring it up whenever I see him.

Met mine officially just before a college year began. Her college ladies organization was having a hayride and cookout. Each gal had to bring a guy. She asked me to be her date. Nice evening, it was.

Met my bride at my first real full-time job after college. She was the plant manager's secretary in the plant office and I was in the plant in the engineering/lab building. She delivered and picked up reports and mail several times a day. I thought she was a couple years older than she was . . . she just seemed more mature than your typical 20 year old, even back tn the old days. Got her phone number after about a month on the job. Tried to call her numerous times but her roommates always answered the phone and she was never there. I thought she was just not interested and decided I would call ONE more time. She answered and agreed to a date. We went to the only local Chinese restaurant the night before Thanksgiving 1975. We were engaged on December 17 and married in July. Three weeks ago was anniversary #42.

BTW - I got the better part of the deal . . .

It’ll be 46 years tomorrow. We met on a blind date in the spring of ‘69; a fraternity brother of mine and a sorority sister of hers that were engaged fixed us up. We married three years later, a week after I was commissioned in July ‘72 and I started flight school two weeks later. We’ve lived all over including Hawaii and Japan. Somehow she’s put up with me and followed me through lots of deployments and 9 moves in 21 years. We’re really blessed with a grown daughter and son who each have fantastic spouses and two of their own, three grand daighters and a grandson.

She’s been a blessing and right by my side through 7 weeks of radiation (one week to go) and still babies me. She makes good sammiches too😁

Tipi at a historical reinactment

Mine saw me standing at a bus stop. She stopped her car and told me to get in if I wanted a ride.....

New year eves party.. be married 18yrs on 8 September.. only bad part our anniversary falls right in the middle of moose season. Since I been in Alaska haven't really celebrated a anniversary. But she's a good women treats me right and supports my gun and hunting habits lol..

Oops been together 20yrs married for 18 lol

1st wife, don't remember or care.

I can't forget the first time I saw my wife Pam.
I was parking my car at the facility where I work and I saw this nice little brown Mercedes parked there, door open, long sexy leg with a high heeled shoe dangling out the door. I couldn't see her face or anything else.
A few days later I invited her to an ice cream social.
15th anniversary this year.

naval war college where we both worked. she couldn't resist me in my tight polyester 3 piece suit and porn star mustache.

1985 High School. 33 years later couldn't imagine being with anybody else, ever. It was a rocky road though with a lot of twists and turns. Here we are about 5 years ago at a Royals game.

Family reunion! 1982

Her Uncle was married to my Aunt. Cousins in common were my best buddies.

She still puts up with me 35 years later. Three kids and ten grandkids. The way the oldest grand daughters are starting to behave, we will probably be great G parents before long.

Fish Biology/Ichthyology/Fish Ecology class or some such in college. Relatively large classroom/lecture type room with theater like seating. I was a few rows above her when she walked in to find a seat. She had to pass in front of me, with me getting a good look at her backside. Long dark hair down to her waist, nice figure, and her ass was wrapped in tight spandex type athletic jogging pants. I was immediately attracted let's say. She moved gracefully, more on that in minute.. Didn't "date" for a couple of years afterwards but studied some together for classes we had together, and had multiple acquaintances so would run into each other at 'events".

Over time I found out she was a dedicated "returning" student like I was, and, while not "gifted" academically, worked hard enough to eventually get accepted to grad school (our advisor said he'd rather have one of her type than 10 "gifted" non working types). We shared interests in certain things and eventually started dating. I then found out about the "graceful" movements. The student union had recreation programs like learning fly fishing, kayaking, etc and published a pamphlet with pictures and stuff of the activities. I had taken the fly casting class (Cheap and taught by a former Orvis instructor!) so had seen the flyer. Turns out the picture of the very attractive belly dance teacher was one of my wife from years earlier! She had danced since she was 17 or so, taught by one of the most respected dancers/teachers in that community at the time, and did the teaching thing to earn some money while in school.

We met in about '91-92, started seeing each other on a dating basis in 94-95, moved in together in '96, married in '99. Life has been a struggle at times, many of you know we have moved for career reasons TOO many times and had to live apart due to our jobs for large portions many years. And I am certainly not the easiest person to get along with.

Still together for now, glad we met at the advanced age of mid 30's after we had both sowed our wild oats, and we get along..............mostly......now.

Thanks guys for the encouragement.

Well played sir.

One of my co-workers at the time introduced his cousin to me at a dirt track race I was driving in. She didn’t like me at all. I think she said I was a smart a$$. But my charm must have worked because we’ve been married 14 years. She had a beautiful 2 year old daughter that just graduated high school and we have a 5 year old son. It’s been great for the most part.
