Was talking about this with a few friends, and I'm curious to see this from people who are actually married.

Answer the poll, tell the story, name your child Chris Jr.

Meh, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

No children to be had here, but I'll tell a quick story...

My senior year in HS, I moved from Nurnberg to Heidelberg. Sometime during the first semester, SOMEONE started leaving me notes in my locker. Eventually, this secret admirer revealed herself and we started dating. A short month later, she dumped me.

Eleven years later, after three marriages between us, she asked me to marry her.

We've been married now for just over a year, and I cannot tell you how important it is to be with your soul mate.
 
I met mine at a party that we had each been invited to through a mutual friend.

She kind of liked me, but once I did my Beavis imitation, I knew she was mine forever!

(BTW, don't ask my wife; she seems to have a different impression of when we first me. She alleges that she liked me "in spite of" my Beavis impression...)

Also, I can attest to Doug meeting Kristie through Compuserve (although I thought it was Netcom). That was back in the good ole days of the 'net...
 
Me and my homie went to the Beverly Center to see what digits we could pull. He stopped by the bookstore to look at some art book, I got bored looking at the magazines and saw this fine chick (big booty to be exact)that worked there stocking the bookshelves. Threw my spit and now we're man and wife.
That's a real story and that's how real g's do it:nana2:
 
I'll take a page from Doug here.

Yahoo, I crap you not.

Met my wife in 2000, first time I talked to her on the phone I was working in N. California and there was an Earthquake in Napa. I guess you can say the Earth moved. Got married 11/13/2001. I have two children now a boy and a girl.

Well, I got compuserve because I was in the "Email? I don't have an email for the internets" phase and it was one of those "get your 727323.213@compuserve.com address now!!!1111" services.

Compuserve bit, so then I moved to Netcom after meeting some bored UCF co-ed.

So unless I talked to Mike Lewis before driving to the bay area for a job, I'd have never gotten an email address and I'd have never met Kristie.

Hell, I still remember the lewism@rl.af.mil address or something like that.
 
No kids, married for about 17 years.

I met my wife in Japan, my buddies were out drinking and we stopped by a Japanese festival when one of my friends said that there were no good looking chicks, so I pointed to a girl & yeah there are, look over there.

The guy assumed she was with a guy, I had been checking her out for about 20 minutes & you she was not.

So, the other guys went back to another bar, while I stayed behind, waited 10 more minutes & went to talk with the chick that I had been checking out. 1 year later, we were married....

The first night that I met her, I told the Navy boys in the barracks that I met the girl that I was going to marry...

Very romantic!

You saw a girl with a big booty, you spat on her, & got married!

This is a good thread. It is always interesting to hear how people met their special somebody. And always make me wonder what,when,how and where that I'll meet mine!
 
My wife and I met a year before our senior year of high school while we were both volunteering for the cities "Teen Court", and we became friends... real... true... friends. She then asked me to the homecoming game our senior year (our first real date). I really dug that about her. Having the guts to come up and ask me at a time when I could barely muster the courage to do the same.

Anyway... we went to Texas Tech together, and I asked her to marry me right before she graduated.

We've since lived in Lubbock, TX for 1 year, DFW for 1 year, Columbus, OH for 5 years, Cape Elizabeth, Maine for 4 years, and now DFW again for the past 3 years.

Two children... one will be 5 in February and a 2 month old newborn.

It was her idea and suggestion for me to follow my dream to fly.

I'm truly blessed... one of the lucky ones methinks... and my apologies to Chris for not naming the new one Chris Jr. ;)

Went to a bar with a good friend and was just hanging out. I had noticed Julie earlier in the evening when she came in, but didn't think much at the time.

Later my friend was trying to work his magic (whatever that is) out on the dance floor and I was 'rollin down the street sippin on gin and juice....' actually just drinking my gin when somehow Julie ended up standing next to me (her doing).

Anyhow, she taps me on the shoulder and I hear, "Do you dance?", and she sits there. My response, "Yes, I do", and I commence to sipping my G & T. After a second it dawns on me that she really said, "Do you want to dance?" The big light went on and the devil on my shoulder kicks me says, duh.... I answered yes after the slight delay and we hung out the rest of the night.

I invited her over for dinner a few nights later and that kiddies is how the story began......

Fast forward 11 years.....2 kids, 9 & 6 yr old boys....If I had any hair left, I'd pull it out. It's like the WWE some days.

pic's a little old, but I'll go with the customary airplane shot:
