Seven and a half years ago I met my wife, Joan, on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu Hawaii. I was walking along the beach and there she was, sitting on a beach towel, reading a book, wearing nothing but a bikini. I walked by her two times but she seemed engrossed in her book. On my third and last stroll by, she looked up and made eye contact. I stopped, we chatted and spent the rest of the day together. By that evening I knew that I had found my wife.

So, how, where and when did you meet yours?

Well, we were both drunk at a big college party....nothing unusual

.

What is much more special is that we're still together 11 years later, and with 2 kids running around. A lot of friends from college are already divorced....

(wipes a tear off his brow at eskimo's story)

Nothing quite so romantic here. I met my wife at work. She was working in a different office location in the same accounting firm as myself. I was "seconded" to help out and met her my first day. Her first reaction was that I was an egotistical snob and we didn't speak for three days. She was a total iceberg. But deep down she dug me!

I'm not married and this post is clearly disciminatory. Equal rights for singles!

"Location: San Antonio, Tx"

Sounds fitting!

BTW Curval,
Our story sounds romantic, but it was really just a beach pick-up...

I was set up.

Had been a single father for a while, and my company was giving away tickets to Angles baseball games, but since I was in management I wasn't eligible to win them. A lady I knew in HR called me up and said they had 1 ticket available, and since they were usually given out in pairs they didn't want to give it to an employee as a gift. Would I like it? "Sure" I said. When I got to the game I found I was sitting next to a very pretty blond. We began talking in the 2nd inning, and I missed the entire game.

Turns out almost everyone knew I was being set up except me.

I met mine at a daily newspaper we both worked at over 20 years ago. She thought I was clever, I thought she had a great ass, and the editor and the publisher thought I WAS an ass. It was a good time. We've been together 24-7 ever since, she laughs at all my stuff and is my number fan and I love her more every day than I did the day before. She is my best friend, business partner, confidant and lover. I thank God for her every day. Seriously.

Now I noticed that large black GMCs/tinted windows have been tailing me everywhere, proably nothing though.

Met mine through a singles activities group... on my first outing with them. I shoulda gotten a discount on the membership!

We went to a water skiing trip and I got her to ride on a jet ski. Then I got stoopid and asked her if she would like to drive. She tried to kill me 3 times that day, all were good attempts. ( I like that in a woman)

I went skipping accross the lake 3 times without the jetski as she was learning to drive it. Water at 40+mph HURTS!!!! She did come back and pick me up each time though.
