I met mine through a youth group at church back i middle school, we were both know we wanted eachother but I had a boyfriend at the time and he had asked my best friend out. We went to different high schools so we figured it wouldn't work. After i graduated high School i recieved a face book message from him telling me he had been in the navy a year and was in town for the weekend we met up that night and fell back in love instantly! we have been married 5 months and are happily 6 weeks pregnant ♥

I met mine playing football I was his captain and bossed him around we started talking again a year ago when he was in Japan. We met back up in August and started dating but he had to leave after two weeks.He even got my son to love him which was hard because my son doesn't trust ANY man, that's how he got my heart. He called me the next day after he left and TOLD me we were getting married. We got married Nov 5th and I can't picture my life any other way. He left for deployment on March 12th.

I met my hubby when we were 15, we were in Air Cadets together, we got together on his pre-deployment leave from Iraq. We've been together for 3 years and recently celebrated our first wedding anniversary. We have an 11 week old baby together (I fell pregnant after we'd been married for 2 weeks!!! Hehe!)

I met my sailor at the country bar I went to. He was 2 days home from his 1st deployment, May 1999... I forced him to dance to Baby Blue by George Strait that night.. I never looked back... We have now been married over 10 years, have two beautiful girls 6 & 8 and have endured 4 deployments and a year in Iraq. We are completing deployment #5 very soon and I have learned that together or apart, we are just better being the family that we created...

I met my husband at a BBQ at a mutual friends house. 4months later I saw him at the bar and he was with another girl I didnt care for so I made sure to not leave his side all night. We were inseperable for months and then got married and had our wonderful son :)

We met through a mutual friend in college. We really cared about each other, but he "wasn't the relationship type" because of past experiences, ect. Then one day he said he was going to join the military and that he'd be gone for a long while doing training and such. He was going to join the National Guard while he was in school and then switch over to Active Duty later to live out his dream career. I wasn't going to just let him walk away from 'us', so I joined as well! After 10 months of going to different training sites at different times, he came home to me and proposed ♥ We got married shortly after, we just had our first son and he just switched over to Active Duty. It's funny how things work out =P

i met mine at a strip club, its was his welcome home party from basic and his best friend invited me to join the party. Im turning 27 and i could tell that he wasnt my age (22 at the time, now 23). So when he was hitting on me, i told him "your cute, but im too old for you". he ID'd me!! But he wouldnt give up and not a month later we go on our first date and we've been together nearly a year now :) He's away at sea for a month and a half right now.. :(

I saw him before he even saw me and when the night was over he asked where i was going after i left the club so i told him "where any drunk girl goes at 3 am!! waffle house!!" he followed me to a waffle house that was 45 mins away i called him two weeks later and we have since gotten married and had a beautiful little boy. We met on 4th of july of all days!! I joke with hi and tell him that he lost his independence on independence day!!

I met mine working in a mobile home park. I was the manager. He asked me for my number and me being not too quick on the up-take said No, he could call the office number if he had a problem. A few dates later we were exclusive. A few months later he asked me to take care of his kids while on a deployment to Saudi Arabia...I said yes. We were married shortly after he came back, adopted the kids a few months later and so far lived happily ever after.
