    Through a Facebook application called 'Are you interested' where you had to click on photos with a yes or no to say if you fancied them or not! I got a cheeky email from OH who was travelling Australia at that point. 3 weeks later we had our first date & I didn't fancy him at all. He flew out to Afghanistan for 6 weeks the next day & he phoned me twice a week which is when I fell for him. Our second date was exactly 6 weeks after the first & we haven't looked back!

    We went to High School together. I thought he was incredibly geeky (he still is actually) he was also tall and skinny and not a looker. He was dating a girl in my tutor form who wasn't very nice at the time (ha ha she's my wedding florist now!)

    At Sixth Form she dumped him and he asked me out. Its been four and a half years now Smiley smile

    Ah I like these stories!

    i met Mr R on Myspace! we went out a few times as friends and nothing really came of it, then I got a new job and he was on my team, very weird. We didnt actually get together until he left though.

    I've known OH for 14 years, through a football supporting forum. Didn't think much of him at the time, I'll be honest - thought he was a bit too serious when sober and a bit of a knob when drunk. Fast forward 12 years and a few drunken fumbles later, and the qualities that made him seem serious when I was a whimsical 18 year old, suddenly dawned on me that it made him a bit of a catch.

    Mr C told the story in his speech... short version... he gave me his best Sid James style "phwooar" and compared my mate to Mr T... I found this amusing and we lived happily ever after.

    We met speed dating. I went with a two other girls from work as we were bored and thought it would be something different to do and he went with a mate (they had been at a bbq the week before, got drunk and were dared by their coupled up mates to go. These mates then signed them up online). We went on in a larger group to a bar after the speed dating bit was over and spent a bit of time talking, both ticked each other on the speed dater website, went on our first date less than a week later and have never looked back.

    I walked (staggered) past his house drunk one night when going home. He had just got out of a taxi, saw the state of me and insisted on walking me home. We didn't properly get together until a year later though.

    I met my OH through on-line dating. It took us 6 months to finally get it together (some guys need a BIG push!)

    Through mutual outdoorsy friends. We were mates and climbing partners for about 3-4yrs though until it sort of gradually drifted into more than that. We'll have been friends for 8yrs when we marry, and partners for about half that time.

    Aww, I like these ones. I met my H2B at work - he drove me mad, I was a waitress and he was a chef (still is) He became one of my closest friends and we eventually got together about 4 yrs ago - we have known each other for nearly 10 years now and we are going back to the hotel we both worked at for our wedding reception.

    WSS, only it was an INCREDIBLY cheesy nightclub in Derby called Zanzibar! I met him at the end of the night in the cloakroom queue when I asked him to save me from some wierdo who was following me around! He's been my knight in shining armour ever since!

    The first time mr blossom and his friends fired water pistols at me and my friends .... we were 15 ... OH and his friends were 19 in their first lad pad. I tutted and walked off (whilst still trying to uber cool thinking "what a ....") Then were introduced a few years later when I was 19 by mutual friends .. and mr blossom asked me why I had come out in my slippers ... I tutted again and thought "what a ...." then we kept bumping into each other at various music venues/night clubs/dives lots of "i dont want a serious relationship" / "neither do I" and then before we knew it 6 years and one baby later we're getting married. We both joke with each other - we don't know how it happened. It just did Smiley smile

    On facebook on an application called 'Social Me' , he commented on one of my pictures on my fake account. So I added him and we chatted. Which lead to a 4 hour phone call (he said i could talk for England Smiley laugh ) . Then he drove down to see me (3hrs from his to mine) after work and we spent the evening together. He had to go home and back to work for the next day, he ended up having 2hrs sleep!

    We met at work. He was a manager, I wasn't. He got me shouted at by a customer so I really disliked him at first. Also, my gay friend was convinced he was also gay (haha!) We eventually got chatting at my best mates 21st party about 6 months later and pretty much fell for each other that night.

    We met at an assessment centre for the same job. We both got the job and about 6 mths later started talking. We exchanged numbers at the department boat party. Although we have different versions about who asked for who's number

    OMFG you just brought back a mega flashback of all the weirdos that hang out in that place!! I had to do exactly the same, use a 'normalish' one for protection (it was before I met my OH).

    I actually met OH on match but knew him in RL too before we messaged - seen him around a bit in our local post office. He and I are the only people under 75 in our area and the only man I ever met who is taller than me so I had to snap him up!

    We met through friends at school when we were about 12. We were in the same school but in different classes. Became best freinds not long after, and now we are getting married next year!
