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!

she cormered me with a loaded shotgun. How could I refuse?

She picked me up at a bar.

"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. :D

I went to high school with my wife... started dating 23 years ago... got married 19 years ago.

The 5th grade class at the elementary school where my mom worked as a secretary was looking for a social studies type project and wanted to write to a soldier. This was during the buildup prior to Desert Storm. My mom mentioned me to them and it was arranged where each student would write a letter and I would pass them out to my platoon and we would write back about our hometowns since we had guys from all over. Well, stay with me, the local newspaper wanted to run a human interest story on a soldier, I used to deliver this paper for years when I was younger, one of the girls in the class had a mom who was the writer assigned the project, and well, I was pretty much a shoe-in for the part. So they wrote an article about me and at the end put my unit address for anyone who happened to want to write. Of course they put a picture in the article of me when I had just came out of jumpschool... buff city. My now mom-in-law read the article and showed it to Vicky and she sent me a letter of support and well-wishing. It was something about the letter that grabbed me so I wrote a 5-pager back. We became penpals through the buildup and she wrote me and sent cards several times a day. I wrote when I could. I had a feeling she was going to be the one, but it wasn't until the guardian angel incident which sealed it for me. She had saved my life but thats another thread. After the war we met at my sisters house and by June I had proposed, that December we were married and have been together ever since.
We lived about 5 miles from each other but never met, even hung out at the same malls. She went to college right after HS and got her RN license, I went right into the military as a dumb grunt. Somehow in His way, God brought us together at just the right time.

I was dancing on stage at a club in Amsterdam called "IT"; and this girl wouldn't leave me alone; which wasn't that unusual; but when she insisted on licking the glitter off my nipples I was sold.
Two years later I moved from Amsterdam to Copenhagen to marry her. Been married six years now; and love it.
-
We ran with a mutual crowd of friends 17 years ago. She was dating a psychotic amazinhunk and I was dating a beautiful frigid hosemonster. We dumped them and started dating each other. We got married almost 4 years ago and now have a sweet and sassy 2 year old baby girl.

I met my wife 22 years ago in jail.
She was the sheriff's secretary and I was a rookie debuty (as we say down south) sheriff. We get a kick outta tellin' folks we met in jail and watch the reaction. Man, we need to get out more.

Pfunk,
No matter what you might think. It is a universal constant in this country that all married men buy their wives. Trust me, when it happens you WILL pay! Then you will KEEP paying!:D

I was working in central Mexico a few years ago. I happened to walk buy this chick selling tortillas on the street. I said, "Hey Ill give you a green card if you marry me." A few days latter she was swimming across the Rio Grand like Mark Spitz. Border Agents had no freaking chance. We paid 5$ to the Justice of the Peace and the rest is history.

Well was at the bowling alley, which is where i spent 80% of my time when not working. She came in with her girlfriend, and ask counter for lessons. Well Counter person said see that big guy over there he is the best there is, and I'm sure he would be glad to help. She came over and asked if I would teach her to bowl,(her Geology Department was going to bowl against Math department at the University) She Was from Romania which give me a opening since I had a romanian working for me. Durring her lessons I tried to find out how old she was since she looked 20 and i was pushing 40. Well I spent 2 hrs teaching her how to bowl. and got courage up to ask her to dinner.
She accepted dinner, and we had a great dinner. On the way home I asked her what she thught about me and our date. She shocked me with " You are to big for me" I'm 6'4" 340 she is 5'0" 100 lbs. i was hurt but kept quiet untill i got to her door to say good night. I said Mona-liza (yes real first name)its not to polite in aerica to be so hurtful you couldv'e just said things wouldn't work instead of saying I'm to FAT.
Sh said no your not to fat your to big as in tall, I said comeon who would pass on a good person because of hieght. she tells me a boyfriend her first love told her she was too small and she didn't want to get hurt again.
So I asked her if she had 30mins, she looked puzzled. Told her i want her to meet my grandparents. My grandfather was 7'2" and grandma is 4'11" , well when she met my grandparents and found out hey have been married for 65 years, things changed and we have been together since that first date.
Now have a 5 year old boy together and 5 kids total.

Wife and I while attending the same college, she in Nuring, I in Air Transportation, worked together in a Mexican restaurant...had a one night fling after 6 months of working together,(we'd been drinking alittle ;) ) decided it was best not to date since we worked together. 3 years later I met her again by chance while out for dinner with friends, set up a date and a year later we were married, going on 13 years now.

28sweep,
Really?
Stranger things have happened...
Saurdaukar,
Expand on this please...
Seeker,
Great story, but WTF were you doing with glitter on your nipples?
My concept of Holland has now permanently changed: windmills, wooden shoes, bicycles or ice skaters everywhere, pot bars, dikes, flowers, and now... thanks to you... men with lick-able glitter on their nipples?

LOL, guess what, babies pretty much have two modes of sleep:
#1. Sleep through anything.
#2. Will wake up to anything.
I built a bathroom from the ground up with my second daughter strapped to my chest. Hammering, drilling, walking around, or even down on my hands and knees. If she wanted to sleep, she slept.
But when shes only half asleep, breath too loud and shee wakes up.

I was a garbologist (janitor) working my way through college. I read the newspaper one day before work and noticed the picture of a pretty high school senior in the student section. She was looking up at another student, a young man, and I was struck by the look on her face (probably why I noticed the picture at all).
Later that same day I saw her walking by me as I was sweeping the floor of the mall. For whatever reason I did something completely out of character and spoke right up to her (I was very shy, and would never dreamt of talking to girls I didn't know the way I did). "Hey, it's that celebrity from the newspaper!", or some such nonsense. She was with a young man I presumed to be her boyfriend, and didn't think more of the incident.
As the days went on I noticed her more and more often, this time in the company of another young lady. I was still unaware I was being stalked, and once again spoke to her. This turned into a frequent event, and eventually I worked the nerve up to ask her out. She accepted, and we were set to go out the following Saturday.
Her 10-year-old sister taps me on the shoulder Thursday of that week and said, "Leisa won't be able to go out with you on Saturday, she's going to be sick."
"Huh", thinks I, I've been blown off before, but never like that. Oh well, give her points for creativity, I guess. I go back into my life of school and work none worse for the wear.
Within a couple of weeks she's back around, and I am talking again. I assume things are going to remain plutonic, and we stick to chit-chat. After a couple of months I get around to mentioning the "date", and joked how I'd never been blown off quite that way before. She was horrified.
"My sister didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what, that you planned to be sick on Saturday? Yeah, she told me."
"No- I had mono, that's why I disappeared for two weeks!"
So, we went out on the date that almost wasn't, and it wasn't long before I knew she was the one. It turned out the young man in the picture had just said something incredibly stupid and she was glaring at him, the young man I saw her with initially was her brother, and her sister was a brat that liked to stir up trouble.
