I was playing golf and she was the beer cart girl working her way through college. I found out her parents had a lake place and ski boat. I was in The AF living in the dorms. 29yrs ago it was supposed to be a summer fling.

I met my wife when I was invited to a games night at someone's house. It was a club function of the "Tall Texans of Dallas" club. I met my wife that night and it didn't click but I went to other functions over a couple of weeks and we kept bumping into each other and talking. She was the first woman I had met that couple look me eye to eye (we are both 6'4"). After a couple of weeks we were inseparable. We have been together for 27 years.

PJGunner, my sincere condolences sir.
Met mine in HS, parted for a time in college, married in Aug ‘70. Actually, tomorrow, God-willing, will be forty-nine years.
Of course we were highly precocious and married at age eight...😉

She saw me waiting at a bus stop as she was driving by in her car. She stopped, backed up, rolled the window down, and asked "You want a ride?".....
Been married over 20 years now. Just this past weekend I was working on a fence along the driveway when she was pulling in. She rolled down the window, winked, and asked if I wanted a ride....

Met her in 1975. We both taught in the same building. We grew up 35 miles apart, but had to travel over 200 miles to meet. Married in 1977. She never gets any taller and I never get any better-looking.

Red neck at its finest. I was racing dirt track cars and a guy I worked with brought his cousin to the track one Saturday night to meet me. I went to the stands met her talked a little while and left. Monday morning my co worker said here’s her number I don’t think she likes you but call her anyway. Well I called that night and we talked for few hours and this went on all week. She came back to the races the next weekend and we hit it off. That was April 28 2003. We were married July 3 2004. To this day she still says she thought I was an a$$ the first time she met me. Pretty sure she still thinks I’m an a$$ but it’s worked for 15+ years with a 19 year old step daughter and a 6 year old boy.

Certainly not true!!! She empties my wallet all the time....usually right before she goes to a yard sale. But she always calls me if there are guns there.

Not sure if I was ever single, can't remember it well at this point. I met her my freshman year in high school. We got married after a year of college, 48 years ago. I had asked God to give me a good woman. She still puts up with me and I try to live up to being a good husband. Yeah I do the wash and other things, but it leaves her with the energy to go out Saturday night. Or fishing, shooting muzzleloaders, or looking at quilts, visiting the kids and grands. She makes quilts. I just hope she still puts up with me every day. We went without a dog for several months and then she paid for a replacement for my Bandit , the Aussie shepherd, the replacement being a Heinz 57 I had shown interest in. He was a Puppies for Parole dog I met at work. HE has been my almost constant companion between work for three years. That was organized for Father's day 3 years ago. Now I have the wife, dog ( Harry S Truman),and grands surrounding me and it is great. Oh, plus a two year old great grand daughter! Be Well. Rustyzipper

Lots of great stories here guys. Here's mine. I took a work transfer from Ohio to Minnesota to set up and manage an optical production lab. I was putting in 80 hour weeks getting this biatch of an operation working right, so any down time was a precious thing. Blew off a Sunday and went to a rifle range. This pretty blonde was working the counter. We hit it off, and all of a sudden, my Sundays became a non work day. My crew thought I died in a car accident or something the first time I didn't come in on Sunday. We were working that hard to get this place up and running. One visit lead to another, and now we've been married for all most 30 years. How many guys can say they met their wife at a rifle range?
