How did you fall for your husband? And how did you meet?

I met my husband on Plentyoffish.com

I wasn't on the site for dating though I was on there for the forum section.
I was curious one day and decided to search for people in my area. His profile came up and his user ID was Talent Agent.Well in my tiny town a talent agent would be extremely rare. I was pretty sure he was a fraud but decided to write to him and say Hi and ask about his profession. He ended up being legit and we chatted a few times but nothing romantic at all. He asked if I'd like to meet in person but I turned him down because he could have been some kind of psycho murderer for all I knew. A few weeks later my church had a singing program so I decided to invite him figuring a man who wouldn't mind coming to meet someone at a church couldn't be too bad.

He got there and it ended up like 1/2 the people in my church were related to him and he hadn't seen them in years. They had a mini family reunion so we didn't get to talk much. He invited me out to eat after the program so we went out and ate/talked but I didn't feel any sparks.

Couple of weeks later he asked me out again and I turned him down. He kept asking so I gave him a second chance and I'm not sure what changed but I knew I had fell for him after that night. I told everyone I was going to marry him one day and they thought I was crazy. Well a few years later they watched us say "I do"

Thanks Heidi.

LOL I just turned 30 in July and DH is 27. My older daughter is 7 I had her right after I turned. My body won't be the same, but hey it's my body and I went through a very hard pregnancy with my 2nd one :) Besides DH doesn't have an issue with it.

You should be proud of your wedding pictures because that is who you were on the day you were married :-)
But being a woman I know what you mean. After having babies our bodies will never be the same. Even with my wedding photos I wish the wrinkles around my eyes weren't there, but Im almost 40 so that is who I am... an aging mom with 3 amazing boys and a wonderful husband.

Same here. I didn't even live in the same country as my husband (I'm from NY and he lives in BC where we now both live) We didn't even meet on a dating site.

I don't like the wedding pictures though because our baby was only 2 weeks old and I was wearing maternity clothes!

Im met my husband when I was working as a receptionist at a local gym. One of the girls I worked with thought we would make a great couple. So after a few weeks of my friend trying to convince both of us it would be a good idea we thought it might be nice to finally get out and have some fun since we both had gotten out of BAD relationships over a year earlier. Neither of us were looking for a commitment or anything serious, but after our first date we set a second date and a third and a fourth. By our 6th date I invited him over for breakfast with his son to meet my son, and things only got better from there. At months of being together we felt it was time to take the next step. So we bought a house together. Stayed in that home for just over 2 years and got a bigger house. At the 5 year mark we decided to expand our family and had another son. Finally at the 10 year mark he proposed to me! So we officially got married this Septmeber in an evening ceremony at a golf course with our familiies and closest friends.
Not the way most people would do it, but it was perfect for us!

When I was in my 10th grade in high school, my single mother decided she wanted to move from my home town In California to Colorado to be with her side of the family. She had to send me out first so that I could adjust to school while she made preperations for job transfer and moving our belongings. I went to live with my Aunt in a small suburb of Denver. When I went to enroll in highschool every elective that I wanted was taken. There just happened to be a cheerleader in the office who overheard my dilema and said, "Take Radio/TV class, it is so fun!". Not really caring at that point what I took for the elective, I saw that there was an opening and I took the slot. In the class, I was the new girl and very uncomfortable. I picked the only seat available and slunk down in my chair. To my horror that was the day where the teacher assigned partners for an up coming project. After being assigned to a boy, we sat together and were instructed to get to know eachother. The boy asked me where I was from and I stated, "California". He said, " Oh wow, me too!" I laughed and asked, " Northern or Southern?" He replied, "Southern". I stated, "How cool, me too!" He asked what city I was from and I said,"L.A." He laughed and said he was from Los Angeles too. I asked him the normal question us southern Californians ask eachother, " Are you actually from Los Angeles or a nearby city?" He stated that he was from a city Just East. I flipped and told him what city I was from. To both of our suprise, we were from the SAME city! We freaked out for a while and then proceeded to find out that we went to rival highschools out in California and that he had also just recently moved to Colorado to live with an extended family member. We hit it off and would talk a lot in class. When our project day arrived, he was to interview me in front of a camera. He asked me various questions then he smirked and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" I instantly got embarrased and told him, "yes" because my current boyfriend at the time had moved to his home town in Chicago. He replied,"that's too bad". and then the bell rang, ending class. Shortly after that my mom moved out with me and we relocated to downtown Denver and I transferred schools. The last day of that school with the boy, I was in the car driving away and my mother said, "do you know that boy? He is waving at you". I looked over and saw the California boy from my radio tv class waving and smiling at me. I waved back and didn't see him again in Colorado. After Highschool, I moved to Chicago to be closer to my boyfriend for a couple years but it didn't work out so I moved back to California to my home town. I enrolled in a local Junior college and worked for the school as a student helper. One day I was delivering some mail to another department in the school and I passed a familiar face. I walked back to my office and was going crazy trying to figure out where I had seen that guy before. My boss laughed and let me leave to try and chace him down so I wouldn't loose my mind trying to figure out where he was from. I caught up with him in the hall walking with some of his friends. I said, "Excuse me, you are so familiar to me, do I know you from somewhere" he turned to me and our eyes met. At the same time we both recognized eachother. I flipped and said, " you were in my radio tv class in Colorado! You interviewed me!" We laughed and talked about how we both had come to return to our home town. We found out that we had hung out with some of the same people just not at the same time. I told him that it was fate and we were supposed to know eachother so we exchanged numbers and went on our way. He proceeded to call me weekly to invite me to various events and parties but I declined every invite, feeling guilty that all ties had not been severed with my Chicago boyfriend. His invites came to an end when he invited me out and stated that it was the last time he was going to invite me anywhere because I always declined. Of course I declined. A few weeks later I broke up with my Chicago boyfriend and became bummed. I realized I had no social life and was desperate for some fun. I instantly thought of the 'Radio TV' boy. I called him up and he happily invited me out to lunch. We had lunch together and that was the start of an amazing friendship. We became inseperable. Wonderful best friends. He would talk about girls, I would talk about boys. We went out every weekend and hung out several times a week. After a long time being friends, I will never forget the day where I realized I was falling in love with him. We had gone out and had a blast most of the night. At the end of the night we ended up hiking to the top of this private hill that overlooked all of Los Angeles. It was beautiful. The sun started to come up and he looked over at me and smiled. I was hit like a ton of bricks! I couldn't believe that this guy who I would pal around with and that I was so comfortable saying anything to had caught my heart without me knowing. I smiled back at him and for the first time, tried to flirt with him. I told him, "I'm cold!" and batted my eyelashes. Being a guy and seeing me as a friend he took of his sweatshirt and nailed me in the face with it when he threw it to me. He laughed and apologized and turned away from me to enjoy the sunrise. We hiked down the hill and he dropped me at home. After that night it became hard for me. Going to parties together wasn't the same I found myself secretly becoming jealous of him talking with other girls. After enduring the sting of jealously for far too long, and unsuccessfully trying to convince myself that I needed to stop feeling this way, I decided to act. I started flirting with him all the time and sending 'the vibe' to him any chance I got. He didn't bite. He was a complete gentleman and respected me wholly by not even so much as uttering a flirtatious word to me. I was convinced that he felt like I was nothing more than a friend. He called me to tell me to go to a party with him one night. That night I decided to give it one last shot and flirt with him. If he didn't return the gesture I was going to cut all ties with him and end our friendship. It was becoming too painful to see him talking with other girls and it wasn't fair to him as he was not doing anything wrong. I wasn't able to be a good friend to him anymore. The night of the party I got all dressed up and met him there. When he saw me he said, "wow, you got all dressed up!" and he laughed playfully. My heart shattered. I made a few unsuccessful attempts to flirt with him and sat down in a corner. I sat there for most of the night feeling sorry for myself. Finally I got strong and made myself get up and try to have fun. I started dancing with the birthday boy. I saw out of the corner of my eye that my best friend/love, radio tv boy was hitting on some girl. I started dancing closer to the birthday boy and he said he wanted to show me something. Too concern with MY best friend hitting on some girl, without thinking, I followed him. Next thing I knew the birthday boy grabbed me and started kissing me. Out of pain/hurt I briefly returned the kiss then like a bolt of lightening my best friends face popped into my head. I jerked away from him and said, "This isn't suppose to be you! This is suppose to happen with someone else!" I was distraught and went searching for my best friend to tell him I was leaving, knowing I would never talk with him again. I found him where I had last saw him, with his hand above some girl who was leaning and giggling against a wall. I grabbed his shoulder. He turned to me with a goofy grin on his face and instantly saw I was upset. He became concerned and asked,"Are you Ok???" I told him, "No" and that I was leaving. He excused himself from the girl and followed me as I walked away. He demanded to know what was wrong. We could barely hear eachother over the music so I went into a nearby bathroom and he followed me, shutting the door behind him. He turned to me and before he could speak, I lost all control and jumped forward and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me and we kissed for what seemed an eternity. When we stopped he looked at me and I said, "I have soooo fallen for you, and I am so sorry!" He laughed and said, " I have been wanting to kiss you for sooo long, I have fallen for you too". 13 years of marraige and 4 children later we are more in love today than that day we kissed!

My husband and I met when we were in the 6th grade. Though we really didn't become friends until like 10th grade, and didn't start dating until May of or Senior year of high school. I'm not sure how we fell in love but it didn't take long. we were engaged a month later and married 15 months after that. We have been married for 11yrs and have 3 great kids.

I also met my husband online *and not on a dating site* I was a sophmore in college in Oklahoma far away from my family in Mich. I was chatting online with some friends back home and my husband sent me an im and told me he had a question. I was a little skeptical because statements like that can be loaded. So I said "ok" and we started talking. Two days later he asked for my number and I told him that I couldn't be more than friends with b/c I was currently seeing someone, but I gave him my number. Two days later I wasn't seeing anyone anymore and we talked everyday on the phone for 5 months. In July I was working at a day camp in Maryland and found out that I could leave for the weekend if I was back on Monday for work. I flew down to Florida, where my husband lived, and met him and his mother and step-dad at the airport. I stayed for the weekend and flew back on Sunday afternoon for work. Two weeks later I made my permanent move to Florida and have lived here since Aug of 2003. We were married in October of 2003, less than eight months after we met! :D
My husband also has a fantastic sense of humor. He can make me laugh in almost any situation and is a great father to our two little girls. He is a romantic at heart when he puts his mind to it and I knew even from the beginning that he truly loved me for who I am and not what I look like. He is ceaseless in his forgiveness of my faults and has taught me that love is an action verb and not just a word to be thrown around carelessly. He's honest to a fault even when it hurts my feelings...I know I can trust what he says and that is why I love him more with each passing year...Number 8 for us this Oct!

I met my husband the day before summer leading into my sophmore year of high school, he was having a really bad day and I just happened to look over where he was sitting and I could tell that something was wrong with him I could tell with the look on his face, I started to walk over there and then I would chicken out and walk back away, I finally got the courage and went over there to him and I said whats wrong he was having some issues at home I took his hand and i said come talk to me we went into the gym at school and we went onto the bleachers and he opened up and told me everything then he asked me if I wanted to go get lunch and we went to a pizza place and ate then we just kinda started dating he didnt really ask me and i didnt really ask him it just happened, we have been together for four and a half years we have been married for seven months and we have a wonderful fourteen month old daughter together!

Well... my husband was dating a good friend of mine and I was dating his friend (because I had to be near him without stepping on her toes) we were in college and ended both relationships for various reasons around xmas time.... anyway spring semester started and one Tuesday night I was bored but not looking for anything spectacular, just wanted to hang out with a friend. So I called to see what he was doing :) So we hung out a lot and then one day we were discussing long weekend plans (3days) and he said he was going home (Memphis TN) for a visit, but that just wasn't going to be alright so I slyly said "oh really!? I've never seen the Mississippi River..." And he was like "Do you want to come with me?" I said "SURE!" so I met his parents and we had fun in Memphis, then the next 2 weekends we went and visited his brother and sister-in-law in Chattanooga and THEN around Feb. 13th. He was like "I really want to kiss you. And for you to be my girlfriend..." and About a week later I told my mom I was going to marry him..... then 10 months later we were married! Oh and the friend that was dating him came to the wedding and we're still very close (she's married now too).

My husband and I have a great how we met at least we think so LOL. I was a resturant manager at a fast food resturant and one day I was standing outside getting ready to leave when this guy came through the parking lot smiled as he drove by and my heart stopped I ran back inside waited for him to order in the drive through and handed out his food and told all of my staff that was my future husband .This went on for a year yes a year I was always there handing out his food (he always ordered the same thing ) even if I was working in a different part of the store my staff would tell me i and I would run up there to give him his stuff fixing lipgloss and hair the whole way LOL. still I told everyone that this was my husband he just didnt know it yet . Like I said after a year I was in drive through but didnt notice he was there which was not normal because I was always looking out for him when on of the kids handed out his food and he said I was wondering if I could talk to your manager at this point I had never said more than "there ya go have a nice day" to him and crushing the whole time but I was like oh no he wants to complian about something so I mentally prepaired myself walked up to the window and asked if I could help him he said yes I hope I was just was wondering if you have boyfriend ? My reply after staring indisbelief for what was probably way to long was "a boyfriend ? no I am single " he said "well then I was wondering if I could please take you out sometime" in my most calm freaking out on the inside voice I said "yes I would like "that he gave me his card and we planned to met later that week .
on our 1st date I asked him if he ever noticed that I was the only one whoever handed him out his food he was like no I just thought you worked alot LOL. I told him well yes but I had liked him for well over a year and took him long enough to notice me he was like oh man I have liked you since then as well but was just to scared to say anything he also said if I wasnt working he would go home and be pissed about it SO CUTE haha .
What is also a little crazy is that we live in a smaller town and we had both moved away about three yrs before and moved back within months of eachother and he knew my mom they worked together so several yrs before and after he moved back
We were married this yr in Jan. took him long enough to do that as well but something are just ment to be

When my husband Aaron and I met when we were in high school. I was 17 a junior and he was 15 and a freshmen, his older sister and I were and still are best friends. I was always at her house and he was there to chat with me all the time. When he need help with his school work and was struggling his sister and his family asked me to tutor him and I said I would. He and I became very close during our tutoring sessions and we ended up falling in love with each other and started dating, ended up being boyfriend/girlfriend. It did get rough and hard on us when I ended up graduating high school and going to college and he was still in high school, during my sophomore year in college and I was home for Christmas he proposed to me when we were alone outside during a friend's Christmas party and I said yes. We got married a few months after that and 3 years later I gave birth to our oldest son Romeo. We have been married happily for 16 years now and have 6 wonderful kids. We are very happy! :)

I was visiting one of my best friends in Sc, she married a guy in the Air Force and they were stationed in Charleston sc, a friend of thiers and I hung out the whole time I was there, and I ended up staying. We dated the first week I was there, the next on Halloween night he proposed and the next week we were married, and then a month later found out I was pregnant, it was a quick time for us, he was in the Air Force and the morning after we got married I got my first experience as a military wife when he got called out at 6 am. We will be married 25 years now in November of this year. He is supportative in anything I want to do, supports me when Imake mistakes and just keeps loving me, we had 2 girls, who he is a very good father too. It was a crazy time and our families didn't believe that we did it and thought it wouldn't last. When we met, we had long talks about family and futures and we had so much in common and yet we were so different, I think that is what has made it work all these years.

I was a nanny, and my husband is bestfriends with the dad I was nannying for! I was 18 and he was 29.

One night I was with working and he came over to visit but the parents were gone. He stayed to play with the kids and after they fell asleep he stayed and we talked for along time. I knew he was the one for me, he made me feel like the person I had always aspired to be and he loved kids.

Two weeks after that night he emailed me saying he couldn't stop thinking about me and he wanted to take me out! 2 years later we were married, we were pregnant with our son a month after that, and had our twin boys last week.
He is the love of my life. An incredible father and all around beautiful person!

My Husband and I met when he was working at a local casino. I was barely 18 and forgot my ID so he would not let me in. We stood there and talked for 4 hours (I was waiting for a friend). What initially told me that I wanted to date him was his sense of humor. Any man that could make me laugh for 4 hours like that was worth keeping. So anyway, we dated shortly after that and have been together every since. About three months into the relationship, We fell pregnant. Throughthe pregnancy I fell in love with hi. Although the first time I said " I am gonna marry this man" was when I seen him hold his baby girl. He proposed when she was just a couple weeks old and now shes two and we got married two weeks ago as of yesterday!
