Fate and Your SO

Supper's Ready
Met on a whitewater rafting trip to Landeck, Austria which the ski club sponsored while we were in Germany. I hadn't seen her before at any of the meetings or trip sign ups. I thought maybe she was married to the bus driver at first. :shrug:

This wasn't the case. :yay: :yay:

I met him on here. I thought he was gross and hated him.

Sometimes I think Bluejay STILL does!

But I met her online through a dating site.

I've always wanted to believe that there'd be some pivotal moment where fate intervened and changed my life, but I always found that when I tried to second guess it, it was always wrong. You know the feeling - you meet someone, you have so many things in common, you think your whole life has been for this one moment and - nope. Or after a painful relationship, by chance an old girlfriend pops back into your life, and it all seems to click and - nope.

We both hit it off fairly well on our first date, although there were moments leading up to it, and part of our first date that, unknown to me, carried the seeds of disaster. I didn't realize it, but I had bragged about drinking huge margaritas before we met; I had made lame excuses not to talk to her beforehand; and I met Bluejay the very day I lost my job. After dinner, we went to the movies and saw a genre of movie she hates. Still hates.

But some things I did made her think twice. We danced in the parking lot after the movie (my bad dancing is the stuff of legends). I carried her coat and concessions into the theater for her, and she was impressed that on the worst day of my life - the day I lost my job - I was upbeat enough for it not to show.

I didn't know how to feel about her, but I knew one thing - my normal instincts regarding women had ALWAYS been wrong. So I asked advice from family. Somewhere in our first several dates, she said something that impressed me very much, because I felt guilty that I couldn't afford to take her out all the time, and we'd spent a lot of evenings just hanging out. She said that if we were thinking about getting married one day, I'd have to get used to the idea of just hanging out, because there'd be a lot more of that than going and doing things outside the home. That being married means, just being together. Boy, was that a relief. Every previous relationship I always felt that I had to constantly keep her happy and entertained. This one was just glad to be with me.

Oddly enough, one of the turning points for her was an event many on here STILL JOKE ABOUT. The day we went to Christy's New Year's Eve party, and I slipped face-first into the puddle on the pool cover - before even going in. She was so convinced I'd be too upset to go in. I just laughed, brushed off the water and went in anyway. She told me later that anyone who could react like that was definitely laid back enough to put up with all her crap.

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!

I have seen that a few times. I just think it's funny. '....ended up getting married,' instead of maybe, 'we got married,' or 'and we tied the knot.' Those of us with vivid or semi-vivid imaginations; or just too much time on our hands might think; 'Ended up getting married': (Translation: Aw, what the H*ll, we're not doing anything else right now); or maybe something else? That one is the first one I think of though.

Food Fight
My wife and I grew up in the same neighborhood and have known each other since we were babies. Our parents used to stick us in the same bathtub when we were at that age. We started dating in middle school and through high school, then when it came time for college we both made the hardest decision in our lives and went our separate ways. Me to Colorado and her to Florida. During that time we knew the long distance relationship would not work and we started living new lives and totally stopped corresponding with one another. After 4 years went by, we were both done with school and we were both back in Maryland. We ran into each other at a party. As soon as we saw each other, all the love we had once shared all came rushing back. We have now been married for 3 years and I love this woman more now than I ever have before. She is truly my best friend and definitely completes me and I could not imagine spending my life with anybody else. The End. :yay:

Having Fun!
We met in college. A good friend of his from high school was in the sorority I was pledging so he was always hanging out on our floor. That sorority sister required me to get his signature in my pledge book. He would only do it if I sat on his lap before our class started. He may have been joking but I didn't know that and I needed that signature so I sat on his lap in front of the whole class. My face was as red as my sorority suit jacket but he did sign my pledge book.

Our 28th wedding anniversary is coming up this October and he still can make me laugh and give me butterflies in the stomach!

Love you, babe!

I met my very soon to be husband on here (47 days! :yahoo). Even if I hadnt met him at Hulas Im sure we wouldve ended up meating at some point. Theres always that, what if he had stayed with his previous gf or if i never broke up with my ex. I met him at Hulas and was attracted to him, but already liked his personality from reading his posts on here. I had seen him at Hulas and a couple of us went out to dinner at applebees and another time at Hooters. I think within a week i ended up going over his house late one night when i was bored and didnt want to go home :lmao: and from then we fell in love :diva: Now we are getting married in 47 days and moving in February :biggrin: Love you 4d!
