I gave my wife a diamond ring six weeks after we started dating. She tried to give it back.
Twice.

But as for meeting? I met her at church on a Sunday night. The first time I heard her open her mouth I said to myself there was no way I could ever date anyone that nice. We were engaged three weeks later, and she had the ring 6 weeks later. ^^^

Smart woman lol



Key part of that whole interview:
"How many drinks did you have"
"About ten cups"
Dude's an idiot. A drunk idiot, but still an idiot.


See, I have a core principle to my life:
I fear no man,
one woman,
dying in a car wreck,
animals that will eat me,
and spiders.
F*** spiders.

This definitely falls into the animals eating me part.

If she throws me under the bus she knows she'll have to take up the chair and the whip to manage the two 6'4" male spawn.

I was always indifferent to spiders. Now, it's personal. They all must die.
 
Not all that creative but we had known each other for a few years (worked in the same industry) we dated for several years, did the dirty like teenagers, and still got along very well. She wasn't looking for a "project husband" so we meshed. She had moved back to FL and I was in KCMO. Was on a trip to AZ when the lighting bolt hit me that I'd better grab on to this one so I sat down and typed her a proposal letter and FedEx'd it to her. She called me the next day to accept, success!!!!
PS: She still has that letter and the FedEx envelope it came in...... 31 years and she still hasn't tried to change a thing about me....
 
First time I met mine, we were at a pool party. I had just turned 18 and she absolutely did not look 15. When I found that out, I told her to call me when she was legal. Kinda pissed her off.
Seventeen years later, I run into her at a Dairy Queen one night. She remembers who I am, walks up and says, 'Well, Im legal, what now?'
We ended up watching the sunrise from the tailgate of my truck.
That was 11 years ago.
 
Does getting her drunk seem creative, probably not and I’ve always been a fairly pragmatic guy anyway.

This thread needs a Cosby meme.
 
I was in grad school at CU-Boulder. She moved into my dorm building. She was a physics/English dual major. I helped her with one of her advanced calculus classes :D

The folks in my dorm tended to congregate together at one of the big long tables in one of the dining halls. We were all in there a few weeks later. She had had a couple of bad dating experiences at this school, and somebody said something generic about marriage, and she loudly proclaimed something negative about "the M word." :eek: Oops...but I was already pretty smitten...

A couple of weeks later she told her roommate, "I'm going to marry that guy." (Talking about me.) :confused:

When I met her parents a few weeks later, her dad approved (he had had 22 years in the navy, Master Chief) because I wore a shirt with a collar to meet them... :cool: When I met them, I was surprised. She had four brothers and sisters, but in her family, they all used the first name, middle name, nicknames...I was apprehensive because I thought she was one of about twenty kids, which is something we still laugh about. I only have one sibling.

Well, our 27th will be this year...
 
Funny little story about our Tenth anniversary...
Took her to an upscale restaurant in Charlotte, went in, sat down. After the waiter got our drink orders, she excused herself to the restroom, and I put the small gift and card I had on the table while she was gone.
She gets back and is opening them as our drinks arrive. Here's the convo that followed:
Waiter: Are yall celebrating tonight?

Mrs: Yep, it the 10th anniversary

Waiter: Well, congratulations to both of yall

Me: Tell her, not me. Its her anniversary, not mine

Waiter has a confused look and Mrs has a deer in headlights look because ten years into this, and she still has no idea the crap thats gonna come out my mouth sometimes.

Waiter: *stammers unintelligbly*

Me: Yeah, we're married, just not to each other.

Waiter: *pathetic stuttering*

Me: *uncontrollable laughter*

Mrs: *recovers her wits and kicks me under tbe table* You sorry s.o.b. You better tell that man tbe truth right now. *To waiter* Im so sorry...please forgive my husband...yada yada.


We got the best service we have ever had that night lmao
 
We were friends that worked together. She had a boyfriend, so it was just friends. Then another coworker kissed me in front of her one night while we were out and I guess she got competitive because she dumped her boyfriend a couple weeks later at pursued me. We will be married 22 yrs this August
 
I was an athetic trainer for my work study job in college. She was a figure skater and cheerleader rehabbing from an injury and we met in the training room and started talking. The next semester, I took an ice skating class for a PE credit. Since she was a figure skater, she was there for free ice time during class. While I had not skated before, I didn't suck at it and she was looking for a guy that could pick her up. She had always wanted to do pairs, but at 5'7", she was too tall for most men to do lifts with her and she thought I looked strong enough. So, she asked me to skate with her. She taught me how to skate and she convinced me that I could be good at it, so we got a coach and I trained. I didn't care about skating, but I wanted to go out with her, so I did it. We started dating immediately, got engaged 3 months later and married the following year. My last competition was a few weeks before our wedding... never again. We've been married for 23 years.

I think you are approaching your 12th anniv, wouldn’t want you to get the wrong gift!
 
I don't know about the catching her eye thing other than there was mutual attraction as it turned out but here is how it went. My father always took my sister and I on a beach trip during the summer for a week every year. My sister invited her best friend and this was approved by parents from both sides. My father and his girlfriend had went down a few days before school let out for the summer so I ended up driving my sister and her best friend down in my car. They rode down together in the back. After a week this is how things turned out. My sister rode back home in the back by herself as her best friend was up front with me. Poor sis, I stole her best friend away. Anyways that was 18 years ago now and we are still together.
 
Met my future wife in a hotel bar, it was her first night after relocating for a new job. I approached her, introduced myself and said I am the best there ever been in this town; don’t waste your time on anyone else.
Dated for 3 years. Today is our 21st wedding anniversary!
 
It wasn't a case of catching her eye really.
My best friend and I were sharing a house. He was separated, I had been divorced from the 2nd wife for about a year.
Long story short, he and his wife got back together and she moved in. Fast-forward about 4-6 months and they found a place of their own. He wasn't close with his family and neglected to let them know of his new address. His sister sent a package, so I took it over to him and thoroughly harassed him about hiding from the fam.
His sister wrote me a letter to thank me. I wrote back, and that continued for 4 months until she came to Georgia "to visit her brother ".
We spent Christmas week together giving each other gifts, dated for almost 2 years more before getting married in June '98.
Be 20 years this year and going strong.

I signed up to join skits at a Winter Youth Retreat in Grass Lake, MI. Got a role as one of three 'free radicals', whose job was to be as ridiculous and outrageous as possible. I excelled in my role, so much so that when the skits were over, my future wife and her friend were making bets over whether or not I was the guy from the skits. They came over to introduce themselves and resolve the bet, and the rest is history. 12 years come October 28th .

I was the 2nd shift security supervisor at a nuke plant. She was an engineer / technical advisor. Movement through the plant was card key access with a continuous printout of activity in each of the alarm monitoring stations. Before I would go out to do my shift post check I would look at the printout to see what area of the plant she was in. And, strangely, I kept accidentally bumping into her.

When I told this story to a friend years later he said, "So, so, so...... you STALKED her!!!" Well, if you want to look at it that way. 37 years now and she still hasn't turned me in to the authorities.
 
I wore cowboy boots and a cowboy hat at the time. Apparently it was more than that S Florida girl could handle. The first time we met a friend arranged to meet a friend of hers. There were 4 guys and 3 girls. All 3 of the other guys were all over one girl, and I had the other two more attractive ones to myself. Still don't understand that one really. Funny thing is she got roped into it at the last minute as was wearing a ratty t shirt, pajama bottoms and a Florida Gators do rag on her head. She was still a cutie. And initially she pursued me, hunted me down like a dog actually. It was terrible. lol
 
My wife offended the hell out of me the first time I "met" her.
I was 18 with a trunk slam full of beer when me and a buddy showed up at a camp ground to hang out with some mutual friends.
She said loud enough I heard it to a girl I was very good friends with that we were trying to get them drunk and take advantage of them, not my style at all. I was there to get drunk, what they did was very little concern of mine. Spent the next 5 years or so despising her but we rarely crossed paths. It gets complicated from there.
 
I was in college, in a men only dorm. After a football game there was an "open house" in the women's dorm next to ours, and my roommate knew a couple of girls in that dorm, from high school. So we went, my (now) wife was in the same suite as one of my roommate's friends. So, no creativity on my part, just dumb luck. As we say in the South, I married up. Day after tomorrow is our 46th anniversary.
 
We worked at the same place as Paramedics. I was her supervisor. I kept having to write her up for stupid stuff... She was always in my office...finally told her that if she wanted to hang out with me that we could just go out and to stop getting written up because I didn't date unemployed chicks.

That was 14 years ago, been married 9.

Today I probably would have been fired.
Still reminds me that she has never written me up... I remind her that I was the boss. She reminds me that I am not the boss anymore.
