Fate and Your SO

I knew that they'd mentioned it to him, so when Christy asked if she could give him my number I said yes because I didn't want to seem rude. We went out and clicked instantly. I'm glad I took a chance when I otherwise wouldn't have.

I'm a good fixer upper.

Oddly enough, I was just looking through your wedding photos tonight.

I found my soulmate about a decade ago.





Her name is Vraiblonde.

I'm not cool enough to have a story of my own (though I'm sure it's a story in the making), but my parents have one.

My father was a big time jock: hockey, football, baseball. My parents, both 16, went to different schools. My mom's best friend was dating my dad's best friend, and my dad told Vince (his best friend) to tell Eva (mom's best friend) to bring TWO girls for him to choose from (what can I say, my dad's a cocky SOB). One look at my dad, and Julie (mom's other best friend) told my mom that my dad was "hers", and my mom, always one to rise to a challenge, decided she was going to get my dad for herself. My dad was driving both Julie and my mom home after the date, and he leaned over to my mom to tell her that, at the next light, they should do a chinese fire drill and leave Julie in the intersection. They did, and the rest is history. They've been together for 33 years, married for 30.

We started dating when I was a freshman and he was a senior, in 95'

Today's his birthday actually...I love that man :swoon:

I met my husband at the vet's office. We both had our ferrets in cages in the waiting room. I don't remember why but I had let mine out and she immediately went potty between his feet. I apologized and cleaned it up. He barely spoke to me. I thought "how rude!". I ended up going home and calling the vet's office asking the receptionist to give the guy with the ferret my name and number. I came up with a lie saying I had talked to him about starting a ferret playgroup. She gave it to him and he called later that night. Unfortunately, I had already gone to bed so there was a note on the kitchen table with his name and number. I went to work and called him from there. We talked on the phone for a few days before going out.

Our first date was a drive from Alexandria, VA to Lusby, Md to check out the house he was building. All there was was a big hole which I thought his intentions were to kill me, throw me into the hole and then build his house on top of me. I was terrified. Needless to say (since I'm still alive) that he didn't do that and we ended up getting married 3 months after we met!

D's dorky friend tried to talk to me, then D sat down to talk to me and the rest is history.

I was wondering if my roommate had stayed at the bar with me if D would have ever started talking to me. Or if I'd gotten up to play pool with roomie, would D and I have ever met?

So, how did you meet your spouse, and have you ever thought how a teeny, seemingly-insignificant detail could have changed things? Do you think you'd have met your SO another way? Is it truly fate? Coincidence?

I asked a girl standing next to B to come to an after work party, she looked like a "fun" girl. I told B she should come to. B showed up, the other girl didn't. We've been together ever since.

I will just say this. If I did not work at Little Caesar's when I was 18 I would not have my 3 kids. I had a blast there and met my baby daddy when he came in to order bread sticks on a daily basis. He was dating a coworker then but 6 years later was not.

You got his bread stick to rise?
