<font color="0066cc">DH &amp; I met through a church youth group when we were 16. It wasn't the church I attended, but I was interested in a different guy who attended the youth group, so I was stalking him . (Back then, we called it "trapping a guy" ) I went to a couple of meetings right before summer holidays started and I decided to go to their weekend retreat camp. DH was dating the Pastor's daughter. Eventually, we were introduced and I was just all "hubba hubba" over him, and instantly forgot all about the other guy! Apparently, the feeling was mutual, because he broke up with his girlfriend at the beginning of camp. During the day, he spent most of his time picking me up and throwing me in the river, and at night, we sat together at campfire. That was 22½ years ago, and we've been together ever since.</font>

Can I just say how fun this has been? I love hearing about how folks met. I know the way I met my husband was bizarre(a total stranger pulls up next to me, tells me he loves me and will marry me and then by george he does 10 months later!LOL!!) but im glad to see im not alone in bizareness!LOL!!

I think however if my daughter met a boy the way I met her father, her father would pull out his shotgun, hand over the application to date his daughter and scare that stalking freak away!LOL!!

<font color="green">Ours is a long, somewhat confusing tale - but it sure proves something about fate

I was originally introduced to Joseph by a friend of mine who was dating a friend of his - they both knew us very well and thought we'd hit it off. Boy, were they ever right This was back in 1990 when I had big hair and he had the most amazing long (like nearly at his waist) straight dirty blond hair - WOO HOO! LOL! It was love, or at the very least, lust, at first sight for both of us. Of course, seeing as we were pretty young and still very wild, our relationship didn't last all that long - and I wound getting my heart broken badly, having him break up with me over the phone with some tomato head giggling in the background.

Fast forward to summer, 1994, one of my closest friends is coincidentally dating Joseph's brother and I am in a miserable marriage to the schmo I met after Joseph and I broke up (we married in December 1993). Every weekend, we are all on the beach, playing volleyball and just having lots of fun. As the weeks wore on, schmucky now-ex-husband spent less and less time with me there, or anywhere for that matter. He was more content with working for minimum wage and spending my hard earned money on comic books and other ridiculous items. Joseph and I started talking again somewhere mid summer and I must admit, I enjoyed all the fawning he was doing over me after the way he had treated me previously We remained friends and when I kicked loser ex-husband out in November of 1994, we began to date. Moved in together in August of 1995 after my divorce was final. We went on our first vacation together - to WDW of course! - in May of 1996 and he asked me to marry him while we were there The next day, we headed over to Franck's to get some info about having a Fairytale Wedding For the next 7 months, we planned our Intimate Wedding and our big day was December 3, 1996 - we just celebrated our 7th anniversary! </font>

DH and I went to the same Jr/Sr Union High School. We were in the same home room from the first day of 7th grade, but really had no contact or communication until homeroom the next year (8th grade). I was a metal head and had a denim jacket with a KISS backpatch on it and he walked by and said "KISS sucks." I thought what a dumb jock and ignored him. Fast foreward to summer between 8th and 9th grade and I am best friends with his cousin. She says DH's family is building a new house in my hometown (I didn't like the idea of us being neighbors), but that DH would be transfering to a different school (we had school choice) so I was OK with that. Well, he moved into the new house and didn't change schools and started riding my bus. I ignored him and one day we were all having a paper fight on the bus and all of his wads seemed to be aimed at me. I threw them back. A couple of days later he called me on the phone. I knew who it was but came off with a snotty "Who's this?" After the initial awkwardness we talked a little bit and he called me again the next night. From there he started coming by my house and became like a part of our family. That was ninth grade April 1989. We've been together ever since. We will celebrate our 4th anniversary in May. (Yes we were together 11 years before getting married).
