Topic: how did you meet your spouse?
in Forum: Humor
I was thinkin' about the anniversys and thought I would share how my wife of 14 years and I met, and figure there must be some other interesting meeting out there so still your guts.
To make in short, I placed a personal ad in the local nickel trader 3 weeks after I was clean and sober. The only person that called it was Dee-Dee. She called to chew me out for what my ad said, well the next day I called her, talked for hours, went out that night on first date, seen her and talked on phone for the next couple weeks, 3 weeks from the time we met, asked her to marry, she said yes, married 3 months from day we met.

Never been happier...my first wife was and is a fine woman. We just couldn't make a marriage work. This time around is so much better.
One thing is for sure...with my first wife, there would be no way I would ever own a Corvette!
I met her at my ex-wifes' house...yes there is a story and yes, you'll have to wait to hear it !

Lifetime Member Met my wife at truck driving school, went to work for the same company, teamed up and drove together for about four years. Figured if you could be with someone 24 hr. a day, two weeks at a time for four years and never have an argument, better grab 'em. 
Had our 13th anniversary in Jan... Never happier.
Congrats to Joel and Kathy..and Micki and Dave. 
I know the voices aren't real, but they have some pretty cool ideas...

The only problem was, my friend's wife only wanted to get us together so I would fix (future) Mama's car!!
She never thought we would become an "item".
She(friends wife) never got over it, and now, we don't talk to either of them!! She tried her dangdest to start problems for us, but we never fell for any of it. They didn't even come to our wedding.
Except for a week in da hospital(Mama got sick a week after we married....hmmm...bad sign?), we haven't been apart since!

Lifetime MemberWe musta stayed out too late cause her momma was awaitin at their car when we got back. She came a barrelin outta that car like it was on fire after her youngins, an they was in a hurry ta git gone.
They weren't the only ones I was pretty sure that my buddy & I was in the wrong place as well. Needless to say that was not a good 1st impression.
(Long hair, van driven,loud music, out too late youngsters)
So I skeemed up this plan the next day to try an smooth it over with her mama. I went to her house and let her sister cut some of my hair off. (Not much mind you, although the scenery was pretty good from the front...
)
It worked like a charm. I layed on my best sales pitches an she bought em all. Heck I even went fishin wit her dad that day. Course he's an Englishman and about as laid back a fellar as you can find.
After that I kept commin back round. (I reckon I finally wore um down.
That was 30 years ago an to this day I can still vivdly see that lady a barrelin outta that car tellin me what she thought @ 2am. (barefoot an in a nightgown)
Skeered me then & still kinda gives me the willy's... taday
Lifetime MemberI met my wife at work. I was a contractor at the company I am now employed with for seven years. I had seen her around a few times but it is a big place and I had never paid much attention to women there as I figured I'd lose a lucrative contract if things got messy. Then she asked me out and I said no. A few weeks later she asked again and I was a little smarter. After one date I knew she was better than anything I had before.
