Do you remember your first date with DH? Was it a good date or a bad date? How did you meet?

I do, I met him at the Toronto Airport, and he asked if he could help me with my bags, i said thats ok i can do it myself. Cause it was a stranger u know..lol..When i was coming back from Toronto he was on my place! He was sitting 2 seats in front of me. I sat down and carried on from there. When i arrived home (Edmonton) he came up and asked me for my number, i said NO. I dont know you.lol. He said under his breath well hun, this must be faith. a few weeks later i was stopping in to Tim Hortans and to my amazement there he was sitting there drinking a coffee. I lost it, and i walked over and asked him if he was stalking me. He said No why would you think that? i said cause your always there when i turn around! well he said, i own a shop right there and i was taking my lunch break. Would you like to join me later for a dinner? Well I said ok. Now we are married, have 2 awesome boys, and im glad that i let my guard down! Our First date was a blast! we laughed at everything under the sun! we didnt get home till after 2 am, but it was the best time we had! So ladies lets here yours!!

I had recently moved into my first apartment with my best friend. She met a guy at work and thought he was a nice guy. Then she saw him again at a Halloween party. She thought he would be good for me and she talked to him and got his number. I had never really dated before so I was just fine with being single. A few days after she got the number she called me and told me I should call him that day. I had been taking a nap, and told her no. She kept calling and calling and waking me up. I got so annoyed that I finally just called him just so I could continue with my nap**.
I called and talked to him on the phone and decided to meet that night. Not knowing what I was getting myself into, I went over to his house instead of having him know where I live. I totally expected a guy in the flannel shirt, wranglers and cowboy boots because of his accent (southern).
I get to his house and he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt...much to my relief. He wanted to take me to see his roomates band play, but we had a little while before we needed to go. He ended up showing me family pictures (I was shocked at how close a guy could be to his mother--not a mommy's boy but just cared for her a lot).
We went out to the bar where his friend was playing and he saw a couple other people from his work outside there. It was supposed to be an all ages show (I was 20), but it was 21 & over. He was going to try to get me in the back door. His friend bought some wristbands from a guy on the street because they were also under 21. Apparently DH didn't know I had already gotten a wristband because he was very fidgeting while we were walking around before the band played--I thought he was just nervous. All of a sudden he handed his wristband to me--he had worked hard to get that band off his wrist--so sweet! Sneaking me into a bar on our first date (haha!).
I am, or at least used to be, a quiet and shy person, but I felt so comfortable with him, unlike anyone I had met before, that I talked to him like I had known him for years.
I dropped him off at his house (I drove because he just had a motorcycle). I got out to say goodbye and there was that little ackwardness, and I reached over, gave him a hug and said goodbye. He told me a few years later that it meant so much for me to give him that hug.
That was the end of that! My friend said I wasn't supposed to marry him, I was just supposed to get a few dinners out of the guy.

**On a side note...the reason that I had been taking a nap that day and was really annoyed that she kept calling to wake me up was because I had mono--I didn't get diagnosed until DH and I had been dating for 6-7 weeks. 2-3 years after we were married it was mentioned, and apparently DH thought that I had cheated on him. He was very relieved to know that I had gotten it before I met him. Funny how he kept that inside for years!

My DH and I actually met ten years ago. I was in a long term relationship when he moved upstairs from us. We became very fast friends as we had some many different things in common. I had always thought we would make a good couple but was never the type to stray while i was in a relationship. I suffered some wicked depression at the time and he as always able to lift my spirits or just understand and listen. Something my Significant other at the time could never do.

Well my relationship unexpectedly ended and I was a mess. I was left with the house the car and all the bills and was completely over whelmed. I called my friend as i was in an awful state. He immediately drove the three hours and brought me and my dog back to his house. I spent two weeks crying while he and his room mates tried to help me feel better. He was usually pretty successful. WELL one night he put his arm around me and i rolled over and looked at him and something snapped we always laugh cause the last thing I said before it happened was nothing good can come from this........

Anyway our first date was the next day and ya know I knew everything about him but i was soooooooo nervous anyway. We went and saw what had to be the WORST movie ever it was great we both have a warped since of humor so we spent the entire movie cracking up. By the time we got back my cheeks hurt from laughing.

We got married last month 10/20/07
