On the playground in elementary school. I was in 4th grade and he was in 5th, we were out on the playground playfighting with some other kids (I was a tomboy) when I went to swing he didn't move his face fast enough and I busted his nose. He told the teachers it was an accident so I didn't get in trouble lol.

He ended up moving schools after 7th grade and I ended up getting to know him again my senior year of high school when he helped me to get ready for college cheer tryouts. We had both just gotten out of serious relationships and ended up kind of leaning on each other-it was only a few months after that that I ended up pregnant lol.

Meagan that is so awsome !!

Stephanie how old were you ?

DH moved to the area to be a farm hand, my father took a liking to him and wanted me to take him out to meet people

of course anyone my father liked I DIDN'T !! So it took mya family abit(my sister was dating the farmers brother) to get us to meet. Of course we started dating and the rest is history. So I say I had an arranged marriage

We met in an msn chat room "Christian Singles 30's" It may sound like a dating site, but it really was just a chat room. I knew him for probably a year or year and a half just as one of a group of friends there before msn started closing their chat rooms. The group of friends migrated to a msn group that was more like this type of forum, with posts, etc. We had started talking a bit there, but I hadn't really caught on he was interested. Valentines day there was a thread where you could post flowers to other people, and we were all posting flowers with messages to each other, nothing romantic about it, just a bunch of singles cheering each other up on a day when we didn't have significant others. Then one of my other friends there pointed out to me offline that I was the only one he had posted flowers for ... hmmm .. interesting. So we started chatting with each other one on one ... then calling on the phone ... then by June I went to visit him (I lived in Florida, he lived in Washington), then I visited again for Thanksgiving, met his dad, we got engaged, he came home to PA with me for Christmas and met my family, moved to Florida, and we were married the next November.

The truly funny thing is that before I moved to Florida, I lived in Washington State, not 90 minutes or so from where he was. Did we meet then though? Nope! Of course we agree that was probably a God thing, because we were at different places in life then, so it worked out well ... just REALLY long distance!

I met DH through my best friend. She invited me to her birthday party and introduce me to my DH which was her brothers best friend. Funny, the first time we met we were arguing over religion and Christianity. He was a pastors son and I kept saying he didnt look like one. haha

We met at freshman orientation in college. We litterally collided with each other.

I had my head in a book, listening to my walkman and walking at the same time. (I know, not smart

) He was tossing around a frisbee with his friends. When he jumped up to catch it, he landed on top of me and broke my finger.

A crowd of people stopped and stared at us for a minute and someone said "Wow. That was like the opening scene in a bad romantic comedy."

Turns out it was. Except I wouldn't call it bad. Romantic yes. A comedy definitely.

But not bad.

He felt so bad about hurting me that he wouldn't leave me alone for the rest of the first term. We had a couple classes together and he would always sit next to me and offer his snacks and his notes... "Do you need a pen?".... "Here, let me get that door for you." I was so oblivious. I honestly didn't know he was flirting with me. We were both dating other people at the time. I finally caught on during that first Christmas break though. We were engaged 3 years later and married before graduation.

We went to highschool together but didn't date during highschool. I met him at the local rodeo. I knew his best friend better so my friend and I sat with them and chatted all night. My Dh rode in the rodeo the night before so he was watching the competition's scores. We dated for the first year of college and got married after almost 2 years of dating. We were so young. I was 20 and he was 21. He deployed with the Army quickly after we got married. We only saw each other 52 day of the first year. But we made it. We grew up together. We waited 7 years to have children. I love him more today than ever. This summer we are celebrating our 17th anniversary.

HAPPY ANIVERSARY Chrystal!!!

Congratulations on 12 years. That's wonderful.

Angela, Rick and I are celebrating 17 years this year too. I think it gets better every year.

I think texting is an awesome thing! We send little love notes throughout the day. When we got married I never thought it could get better - but it does every year.
