Many great stories on this thread. I ask most couples I meet. One of the best was a female cop. She arrested her hubby for DUI.

Met mine at a bowling alley. She was there watching her Dad bowl in his work league. I was just a kid playing pinball. 1977. The rest is history.

She walked in to typing class my senior year, I was sitting across the isle from Kevin McGehee, both of us beat up pretty bad from football two-a-days. Annette walked in carrying her books and looked around the room and picked the seat in front of me, Debbie sat down in front of Kevin. The girls were sophomores, first year at our school so it was the first time I had ever seen her.
Broke two bones in my right hand the next week, she took pity on me and would do my typing for me and pass it back.
Kevin married Debbie and I married Annette, we celebrate 50 years today as we load up and head to Chattanooga to see the oldest granddaughter play in a college volleyball tournament this weekend.

#1 = Blind date, lasted 15 yrs until her death. Great marriage, we had no children due to a heart condition but we both had a great time together. #2 = Met her at work, she was just divorced and I was widowed a year. 8yrs, 10 on paper due to money issues. Worst mistake of my life. #3 = Met her at my doctors office, asked her out for dinner. Going on 9yrs, I say I won the life lottery twice!

Little place with live music called the Clear Lake Lodge. Asked her to dance and she said no.
Later changed her mind and we connected. Been married 37 years. Please pray for her, she's in the hospital with cancer. Prayers for you both.

When I was younger my girl friends came from school. Then in my 20s and Early 30s they came from nightclubs and bars. Into my 40s and 50s they have come from business or work related events or interactions.
Life can be rough on us dreamers.

Blind date in 2000. Been inseparable ever since. Best thing I’ve ever done in my life! Oh and she can still wear her wedding dress! Pic taken last month. She will be 45 in December and I’ll be 44.

I tell the both of them that I love them every day. big difference between my first marriage lasting 5 years and my second one lasting 25+ The first marriage made us both appreciate the second one, and we constantly remind each other of it.

In the middle of Pensacola Bay.... Can you post this just one more time please? Thank you Sure Steelhead, just in case any of the new members didn't know that was your previous handle before you were run out of here on a rail.

Blind date set up by a squadron mate and his fiancé (whom he later left at the alter twice ). My wife had moved from Boston and knew them prior and she asked "who do you know" and Eric's fiancé said "How about Pugs? He's a nice guy but he does wear a lot of flannel" She replied "I'm from New England, who doesn't?" Dated for about 8 months and got married, this spring will be 25 years.

I was waiting at a bus stop. She drove by, stopped her car in the middle of the road, backed up, rolled the window down, and ask me if I wanted a ride.
