softy moment - how did you meet your partner?

[legrandefromage]

1996

I'd been cycling back from Hunstanton. Had been painting watercolour scenes from Thornham harbour the day before, so sunburnt, tanned, cheating really.

Local pub had a new girl behind the bar since March - she seemed kinda nice. That Saturday a good mate badgered me into coming out for a beer so I gave in despite feeling knackered - nice girl asks 'do you burn easily?' - completely flummoxed that a female of the opposite sex had actually spoken more than 3 words to me I sort sputtered out an answer and thought nowt more of it.

come closing time, nice girl asks me to a party, we clicked - the rest is history, I've been with her ever since.

Now isn't that nice?

Ahhhhhh, sweet. Met my Mrs in a maximum security psychiatric hospital, she was the doctor.


OK, the truth was me and my friend did a girlfriend swap. Both couples got married and still are.

We kind of got together by accident. I'd recently been dumped, she hated her fella. Seemed to make sense. Never expected to end up marrying her but hey ho

Went to 6th form college with her older sister Sally, purely platonic.
After I left college and went to sea I was on leave and bumped into Sally's little sister Lorna on the high street, asked her for a drink, I was 19 she was 16.

We have been together now for 14 years, married for 6.

I started waving at the fit mum over the road from work, she started waving back. A few weeks later she asked me to do some work in her back garden (fnar fnar!) started chatting and realised we had lots in common, she asked me out a few days later by leaving a note on my car and that was that!!! Five years later almost to the day (last June btw) we got married, and now she's 7 months pregnant....

Last one I met in the old MTBR chat room. Her brother raced and used the site, and her and her friend came in to check out the room on a lark. Blonde. French Canadian, Barking mad. We are no longer together.

Drunk. Kissing her (fake lesbian) roommate (girlfriend at the time) in a club car park. Threw up. Roommate left. Future Mrs Wu hung around to get me home safely as I couldn't really walk.

Went round the next day to apologise on my 93' Rockhopper Comp. Saw her going out on her 93' Cannondale M700.

It was love at second sight. (First sight was a bit blurred.)

:roll:

In a bar in Nottingham, I was with a bunch of mates, I had a cocktail (the one and only one I've ever had in my defence!) she had a pint of cider I sat beside her in the only space left in the place - we got chatting.

I moved in 1 month later, engaged 1 month after that, she was pregnant 6 months later, we got married the following year just before baby was born. We're still together - it's out 10th wedding anniversary on Feb 17th
