How Did You Meet Your Other Half?

[merylpeep]

I've just been told a lovely story from a couple about how they got together. Any on here got an remarkable or romantic tale to tell about how you met your other half?

On a blind date, married eighteen months later which lasted for fifty wonderful years until ,sadly, wife passed away.

[ummmm]

Nothing romantic I'm afraid. Met him when we kids and his parents moved round the corner. Been friends ever since, went to the same school, but didn't get together until 7 years ago.

I started as a lodger in her house. It was purely practical that we did things like eat together and watch TV, but she also had two Irish setters and we began walking them together on weekends. Sadly both dogs died, one suddenly and the other through leukaemia, and I tried to be there for her – genuinely; there were no ulterior motives.
It brought us close and developed into a life-changing 5-year relationship, definitely the most important long-term one of my life. Just a shame it didn’t last – the ending was a huge mistake and by the time I realised it was too late to go back.

At work. Boring isn't it? Not at all romantic. We were together for 10 years though.

I wrote a letter to a soldier who would be away from home at Christmas. We met 3 months later and got married 6 months after that. Still together after 18 years!

Went to a dance hall with friends and he came up to me and asked me to dance. i looked up at him and fell for his beautiful blue eyes.
We married after an eight yr and one year engagement.
Been married 29 yrs now.

Internet dating site, as soon as I heard his voice on the phone, I was head over heels in love with him, and I still am.

Trish had just moved back to the area and she was stood gossiping to my sister who she'd gone to school with but a few years behind.After that it seemed that I'd run into her every where I went,that was thirty years ago and I can't seem to get rid of her so I suppose I better keep her.

I was a travel courier in the Black Forest and had picked up a group from a night flight. I sat in the hotel breakfast room, almost falling asleep, when the patissier brought me coffee and gateau (Black Forest, what else!). Married a year later. That will be 45 years come July.

I'm not sure what made me swap phone numbers with who doesn't even live in the same country as me. That must be the "romantic" element ... love overcoming distance, and all that guff.

We were both dragged along as chaperones by friends who were social inadequates and were nervous about going on their first date alone. The dating couple sat there with nothing to say to each other, looking miserable, while me and Mr O got on like a house on fire. We left them to it, cleared off to another pub...and the rest is history

Over a fence, age 7, when our families lived next door to each other.
