How did you meet?

Nice story......?

Aw you have such a wonderful story to tell the grankids! hehe

Me and my OH met a little less romantically on MSN lol we knew friends of friends and OH nabbed my email off one of his friends one day and cheekily emailed me... we met up a few weeks later the rest is history i guess! This was back in 2006 and OH proposed the weekend after my Birthday March 2011

Our story isn't as romantic as yours! We met online, I'd been internet dating for about a year at that point and was becoming a bit cynical so I didn't really give him much of a chance at first. We went out for dinner for our first date and although I had a really nice time I wasn't really sure how I felt. Over time I realised how completely different he was from every man I've ever known, and I eventually realised how much of an idiot I was being for holding back and almost ruining the best thing that had happened to me.

One of the sweetest things he did was buy me a pair of Freudian Slippers for my birthday, about a month after we started going out. I studied psychology at university and I'd always wanted a pair, I must have mentioned it in passing once and he actually remembered and bought them for me. I'd never had a man actually listen to me and remember something significant that I'd said before!

We met through work, i'd known him there for 2 years and then I decided to end an abusive relationship and through caution to the wind when I was now allowed to go out a socialise for the first time in years and we got chatting then kissing on my mates sofa, then he asked me to go see Sting with him (he's stuck in the 80's) and then I was being evicted from my accom and so I moved in with him. 8 years on and 2 kids and we are finally tying the knot! x

Me and H2B have known each other from the age of 8. All our friends would tease me saying Jamie really fancys you.....I would blush and say No way.....and here we are at the age of 31 getting wed.

And I can't wait ?

Aww you guys have such lovely stories.

Me and my OH met at uni. We were randomly put in a house together with 20 others in our first year! At first we were just friends, we used to all go out together as a group of 20+ we used to have such a laugh. And at first I used to really like his mate. But then after a few months of us spending literally all day and night together, chatting and getting to know each other, we spent the Christmas holidays apart with our families. We spoke every single day that holiday... Including when he was in South Africa with his family. I think I knew then that I wouldn't know how to spend my life without him.

And then one night after a few confusing drunken text messages, where he basically told me how he felt to see me out meeting other guys, we kissed outside our regular 3am chicken bar! Classy! And that's that, 6 years later here we are!

My story isn't romantic.... 6 years ago i would go out clubbing every saturday enjoying the single life... Pulled, took his number, we went out a few times, decided we were better as friends and kept in touch.... His friend is now my h2b

All such lovely stories. I was in Amsterdam for business for a couple of day and two of the lads on my team were there for a week on training. We met on the Thurs evening and ended up going for dinner with several other people from the course, we all work for the same company but from different countries. I ended up being the only girl with 7 guys.

Well that happened to be the day that the Icelandic volcano shut down European airspace. After an extended weeked in Amsterdam and a long trip home via Brussels, London and Holyhead, romance had blossomed for me and one of the Scottish guys. I got home on Wed (instead of the previous Fri) and booked my first trip to Glasgow the following night.

I moved here last summer, we got engaged at the end of Feb and get married in Aug 2013. It was the best business trip EVER!!!

Some lovely stories here ?

Two years ago, a friend and I decided to go on holiday to Spain. On our first night we were wandering along the sea front looking for a place to eat. We saw one restaurant that had an appealing menu displayed outside, including a very comprehensive vegetarian selection (I'm a veggie) and decided to eat there. We got chatting to the waiter (who, as it turns out is normally the sous chef but that day was covering for a sick waitress) and he invited us out for a drink afterwards. We said we'd go along for one drink, but we wanted to get an early night. We left the bar when it closed at 3am.

We arranged to go out with him again the following night, and I spent the whole night talking to him (my friend was perfectly happy pulling men at the bar!). After spending as much time together as we could the rest of the week, I went home. As soon as I got on the bus and saw him walking away, I just felt broken. When I got home I couldn't sleep, I didn't know what to do with myself, I felt completely lost. And it turned out he felt the same.

We spent two months talking online, and then he moved to England (he's from Newcastle originally but had spent 3 years living in Spain). The intention was that he would stay with me for a week or so, then find somewhere else to live. Two years later, he's still here, and we're getting married next year!

Awwww, another long distance! I know the horrible feeling about saying goodbye, I remember when I had to first say goodbye to my now fiancé. I remember watching him getting in a cab to the airport, it was horrible. Missed him so much and thought I'd never see him again, despite him saying that he wanted to visit London, but I was trying to protect myself so expecting nothing from it! So was so pleased when I got a phonecall on a Saturday and it was him calling me from South Korea.

This is going to sound so soppy but writing all of that, coupled with the fact that he's away at the moment, has reminded me just how much I love him.? *passes sick bucket to entire Hitched community* ?

I was working in a cocktail bar, my H2B was transferred as a bar manager from swansea 170 miles away to the bar next door to mine! we started seeing eachother a week before xmas, then got together on xmas day while I was driving him home to swansea as he had no other way to get there! xx

I met my oh first day of sixth form. I'd had to move schools and didn't really know anyone, was lost and he gave me directions back to the sixth form centre. I remember thinking 'you're really fit' in a 16 year old way. Eventually I joined his group of friends we 'went out' but that didn't work becuase he still fancied his ex and we were just really good friends for a few months, then I had a house party, invested in a bottle of vodka and pounced, tbh he didn't have much say in the situation!

and we have lived happily ever after ever since!

Yours are all a little less infantile and a bit more romatic than mine!

We went to secondary school together and sort of knew of each other through mutual friends. Then we both went to the same sixth form, became really good friends and eventually he snogged me and asked me out. Dead romantic.

I was sitting outside a pub one night, complaining to my friends about being single and I spotted this guy talking to one of my friend's older brother. With a bit of dutch courage I chatted to him all evening but had to leave quickly at the end of the night so didn't get his number. The following day I got a text from a number I didn't recognise & it turned out he'd asked my friend for it after I left! Our first date was a little surreal, we went for an early dinner & then he took me to his house & I met his mum, dad and sister!!! Our second date was his sister's wedding!!!!

I met OH at work, we were friends for ages first and I only ever saw him as a friend, I even confided in him about a guy I was dating (which stopped not long after it began)

We were at a work christmas party dancing like fools together when I suddenly looked at him in a new light and since then I found out he thought the same on that evening too.

He was always one of my best friends before we got together and still is, he proposed last feb (18th) in New York.

My very first day of Uni. I was a fresher, my OH was a final-year student showing the newbies round.

I turned up soaked through. He said I looked like a sexy startled rabbit. After the tours we had welcome drinks and nibbles. OH came over to talk to me then. He said from that conversation he knew I was someone very special. I though he was going to be my first (of many!) snogs of freshers week. We just clicked and saw each other every day. OH says he had a permenant erection around me for at least the first month and that also told him I was The One (men!).

We went out later that week for my birthday and were inseparable for that year. Then OH stayed with me to do his PhD instead of going back to his hometown (something I don't think my MIL will ever truely forgive me/him for!). And then we just carried on ticking boxes until the next one 'Marriage'.

Lol! Our story is so not romantic. We met at work in the dog toilet pen LOL both our dogs where having a wee at the time !

Wet met at school, because we both work there as teachers! [That seems a bit corny!!] I invited lots of people out round town for my birthday, had literally just come out of a relationship just wanted to let my hair down with friends. As usual, my friends were winding me up saying he fancies you etc and telling him I fancied him - which I didn't, so I thought. We were friends, had a good laugh etc and that was all. No romance. A few shandies later and he kissed me. That was the beginning, we dated secretly for about 4 months before telling people. After 1yr he moved in with me, then 6 months after that he asked me to marry him [October 2011] and now, we're getting married in August 2013! Alipops x

Aw such lovely stories mine is pretty horrendous and I try not to tell anyone, I am sure it will come up in a speech at the wedding. I was in a relationship (it was AWFUL and about to end) so I went out with my best friend M (who is gay, this will make sense in a moment why I told you that) to a charity night in a local pub. Girls bought raffle tickets for a strip tease by the 3 men that worked in the pub...me I bought LOADS, M bought 2 tickets. There was this one lad I fancied the pants off but had heard he was a womaniser(this is now my H2b haha)! So guess whose ticket got pulled out... not mine but M, obviously this was hilarious to all who knew her as she was the last girl who was interested haha and she worked in said pub so worked with the lads!
Anyway after the dance and quite a few drinks I got talking with h2b and we had a real laugh, anyone my bf was about to pick me up so I said my goodbyes. After getting home had a HUGE fit with my bf and called it off, whilst walking home I found h2b's thong in my handbag which he had snook in there!

Anyway a few weeks later I went out with M and bumped into my friend from work, I then find out his best mate is h2b so we all got chatting and changed numbers. I ended up going home with h2b on multiple occasions but never told anyone, we were just having fun as he was going to work abroad for 6 months. His last night in UK I went home with him, got woke up at 6 (we only got home at 4) for his brother to take him to the airport. He asked me to go with him but obviously I didn't know his brother and we were just having fun. So we said our goodbyes and he gave me his chain to look after (this sounds extremely stupid but I found it cute)

I longed for him once he had left but after seeing picture after picture with him all over women on Facebook I gave up. Stupidly had a 1 night stand with my ex and got pregnant. I decided to email h2b after 4 months and decided to tell him about baby and wierdly enough he was excited?!?!?! I tried not to get excited as obviously it was a difficult situation.
Fast forward another 2 months, I was fat(pregnant) and sat in a green uniform behind a till (ASDA) and that was when my heart stopped! I could see h2b walking towards with me, all tanned and fit!!
That night he invited me around our friends house and when we left I gave him back his chain, said how lovely it was to see him and said goodbye when he kissed me.... dear god my knees sunk!

This is now extremly cheesy but we have been inseprable ever since. He has looked after my son like his own, some people only know him as Marcs and we see no reason to correct them. His family welcomed me in so lovely even though it was a difficult situation.

Awwwww Writing this has reminded me just how much I love him so I off to go and give him a great big Smooch!!

xx

Lovely stories ladies!

I have shared my story, but aaaaages ago so here it is again: I had seen OH many times holding up the queue at our tiny little local post office, he sells online for a living, and I was always in there flogging my old stuff on ebay and amazon. He used to let me go in front of him as he had so much stuff it would have meant me waiting for hours. I randomly once said something to him and the guy behind the counter about the famour porn star John Holmes (it was somehow relevant at the time, but can't remember how!) and after that he always said hello or smiled. He told me his ebay username and said I should check out his sports stuff, at the time I was seeing someone but when that ended soon after, I sent a flirty message to OH but he never replied! Fast forward a fair few months, I am just about to leave match.com after a month of worthless guys when they show me a pic of OH saying 'don't leave, we found some more guys for you!' So I sent a message saying hello, he immediately messaged back and asked me out.

Turns out about the same time when I sent the first ebay message, he had overheard me saying something to one of the staff in the post office about my then boyfriend, so assumed I was still with him and just being polite. Apparently he had no idea that was me flirting. But when he saw me on the match message he knew I must be single so didn't want to waste any time! He since confessed that when he let me queue jump he would be checking out my bum!

Great stories everyone!

I met my h2b at work. We were in the same office for a few months and never spoke and then we got chatting one day. Our friendship grew over the next two years and we became best friends. As we are both Christian we haven't had a conventional relationship. Based on our friendship we both knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives with each other but his proposal came as a complete surprise! We are also only having a short engagement so I'm in full time wedding mode trying to pull everything together in 6months!

Well when we met i was actually seeing one of oh friends, when his mate used to come to my flat he wud bring oh with him, i secretly fancied him and when i wasnt seeing his mate anymore i saw him out one night and asked y he had stopped popping in. He came down the next day and after that we were insepreable. we moved in together 3 months later. That was when i was 16, 13 years ago. It hasnt always been easy, we had our daughter when i was 19 and have since had a son too. We never really talked much about marriage even though i always wanted to, he was more against it. so i was nicely suprised to b given a haribo ring in a ring box for xmas 2010.

even though we got engaged we only really started planning in march this year, we are now happier than we have ever been and im really looking forward to marrying him.

not really romantic but thats our story!

My OH did the payroll for my work and I'm HR so used to phone him constantly to sort out pay problems. It got to the point where I was ringing 3-4 times a day (he didn't like his job and was veeeeery slow at sorting things out) when I finally bribed him with posting the money for a beer up to Wales for him if he got it done. We then began emailing throughout the day just chatting, when I told him I was going to an Enter Shikari gig. He gave me his number so I could ring for him to hear and we basically spent every day either talking or texting after that. He had a girlfriend at the time but wasn't 100% happy. He had tried to end it before I even knew he existed but they had been together such a long time he found it hard to see her upset and thought maybe it would get better etc. We talked about that quite a bit as I had just been through a very similar situation with my ex of 6 years. Anyway, after 7 months of talking I went to meet a friend in Sheffield for Haloween 2010 and he decided to drive down to finally see me. We spent the whole night talking and it wasn't until he left that it dawned on me that I really really liked him. I resigned myself to being his friend and things carried on much the same for a couple months.

We met up for lunch over Christmas as I was visiting family in Wales and he told me that he had broken up with his gf a week after meeting me but didn't want to tell me in case it didn't last as he didn't want to hurt me. Apparently he had realised how he felt a long time before me but wanted to actually see me in person before making any big decisions. He ended up spending the night and by the time he left the next day we were very much together. He got made redundant in January and until his notice period ran out I travelled up to Wales every weekend. He then moved down to London to live with me last March as we knew we couldn't be apart. He is the only person I can spend all my time with without killing which is how I know he's the one haha. He proposed last October which was a complete surprise and it wasn't. We had talked about since the day he moved in but I didn't think it would happen until the next year at least! We have had 9 months to plan our wedding that is now 5 weeks away and I absolutely cannot wait!!!

We met at a mutual friends 18th birthday party, I'd been friends with her since school and OH had become friends after playing badminton with her at the local sports centre. After a few too many drinks he offered to give my friend and I a lift home, my friend passed out on the back seat and OH and I had a lovely chat all the way back to mine. About 30 mins after we'd got in, I had a txt from OH asking me out on a date, (he'd txt round my other friends to get my number!) our first date we saw a god awful film, but it didnt put either of us off and here we are 7 years down the line, planning our wedding to be nearly 8 years to the day that we met!

We were introduced at the end of our first year of uni by a mutual friend who wanted to set us up. We became friends, left uni for the summer and spent almost everyday emailing, texting and calling each other. He came to help me move into my new second year house, met my parents, the day after we became official. This was me who had decided over the summer I didnt want any more relationships as I had just broken up with 2 people in like 2 months (1 long term, the other a 2 month thing)

What amuses me is how the less serious ex kept texting me telling me that I didnt really like the new bf..

6 years, 2 cats and a proposal later..here we are, getting married in less than 15 months!!!

I met my H at College. I was the only girl out of 40 students and hung out with him and bunch of other guys. Wasn't until we'd finished our 3rd year of Uni that he asked me out. 5 years later and we've been married for 6 months and looking forward to our honeymoon in July, then saving for TTC next year!

LOVELY STORY OP.

Mine is a bit complicated like yours so apologies in advance for the long essay. I met my fiance 7 years ago....I was only a 15 year old little girl. My grandparents used to take me to corfu on hol every summer since i was born for the whole of shcool vacation. He used to go there on hol with his mates, he was 23 then (thats why nothing happened between us at the time....i was too young). I was with my best childhood friend nina (my bridesmaid now) and we were walking up the mountain from the beach. For some reason that day we decided to be crazy and walk up and down the mountain rather than getting a taxi. On the way back up some idiots were passing through on quads honking at us. One of them, looked at me, winked and said hi. (that was him) I looked at Nina and said: what a prick lol Later on after we had our showers, I went to the village cafe and he was there with his mates having beer. We recognised each other and started talking.....he was trying to get me to have a drink with them but i kept saying no cause i was scared of him (he didnt know how old i was and i didnt look 15 at all). For the next 3 days he kept coming up there to find me and persuade me to have a seat and a drink with them. I did give in, in the end. I fell in love with his eyes straight away. I was crazy about him...and he was really into me.....and then he asked how old I was......YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIS FACE, HE NEARLY CHOKED HAHAHAHAHA. He kept coming to see me but became a bit more distant and nothing happened. I had exchanged tel numbers with his mate Phil (he fancied me as well at the time) I dont even know why I gave him my number...i thought it was a good opportunity for me to communicate with andrew (my fiance). Days passed, they went back to England and I went back to Athens to start my school. I couldnt stop thinking about Andrew, so I called Phil. That guy called Adam answered the phone and said: Phil is playing football now want me to pass a message? I said: Actually I was wondering if Andrew is around with thim.....Adam said: he is playing football too, would you like his number? LOL I couldnt believe it was sooo easy. I got his number straight away. Every time I would try to call he wouldnt answer....cause he was at work or busy. Then he wouldnt call back as he thought it was pointless he didnt think he would ever see me again ( I foudn out later). As i insisted on calling him, he couldnt resist anymore and he called back out of curiosity. After that phonecall he would call me every day and be on the phone to me for hours. He kept saying I was beautiful and at some point a few months later he even said he loved me and asked me what teh deal was between us. I didnt have an answer. I said.....nothing has happened between us...and I am too young and we are in 2 different countries....I do know how I feel about you though....After this convo we started arranging to meet up.....I said I would come to england (I had an uncle i could visit), i didnt in the end and Andrew got annoyed, then I managed to go but didnt manage to see him cause he was away.....and as the time went we started getting more and more frustrated. I didnt think i would see him again so I decided to start forgetting about him. Our phonecalls became from 3 times a day to 3 times a year. I would suddenly receive random calls from him from nowhere thinking: what the hell does he want now? He would always think of me.....and he would always say he loved me (sometimes drunk so i didnt take him seriously....i didnt care...i though he was taking the piss). Eventually he went to corfu again when i was 17 but didnt tell me. I found out and went to england a few months later without telling him cause i was well upset. He called me while i was in england by accident and said: so where r u? i said: england. His reaction: WHAAAT? When did you come? Me: last week and i am on the way to the airport now as i am leaving....He went mental, he got soooo angry! I hanged up on him. A few months later i was 18 and fiished school, i booked another flight to england. Again i received a sudden phonecall from him. We couldnt seem to be forgetting each other. I said: look i am coming to england and gave him my flight details. He said: am i gonna see you for real this time? I said: i promise. He came and picked me up and i ran to his arms. We got together straight away. That was 4 years ago. I am 22 now. We spent a year of him travelling to greece every other weekend and i was working my ass off to help him pay some flights. Ayear later he proposed to me and I moved to england so we have been living together for 3 years and getting married in 2 and a half weeks. It took us 3 years to plan the wedding as we wanted a house as well and sort out our lives etc etc as i moved to another country with no job, car or money. We needed money for all that and a wedding and its finally here. When i look back, if someone came to me when i was 15 telling me: that ''prick'' is the love of your life, the man you are gonna marry, i would be like: shut up get a grip! I cant believe it! I am sooo in love with him always have been and always will be!

Really internet makes our life very easy.

OH and I met at primary school ?

One of my enduring memories is from Year 6, him being in a strop about something, knocking my pencil case out of my hands and shouting that he never wanted to see me again ? I remind him of this every now and then.

We went to different secondary schools and unis, then reunited via facebook!

Me and my h2b met 3 years ago, we were just friends as he was dating my best friend, but they both admitted they didn't feel there was any chemistry between them so called it a day, so I decided to console my h2b and, well it worked in my favour lol...
