Lets go back to the very beginning....how did we all meet the gorgeous men of ours.

My OH has worked as a builder with my Dad for years (my Dad's and his Dad's company) so I had seen him around a few times. We also played darts in the same league, then one season he moved to our team, which is when we got to know each other. Then out of the blue my Dad gave me an envelope (with a muddy boot print on it). It was my OH saying he wanted to ask me out but was too shy! I text him a yes and we had our first date playing pool in the pub He even played left handed because he was a really good pool player and I was naff.

I really didn't expect him to ask me out, I thought he was 'out of my league'!! I still have to note too - It makes me smile when I read it.

At work.

I was his manager ?

Drunk.

In a nightclub.

Couldn't remember what he looked like the next day, so asked my best friend if I should reply to his text. She said he was 'alright'.

THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVERY TOLD.

?

I met my fiance in the back of a then mates car (well I thought he was a friend anyway) we were going to a Paramore concert. I knew the driver but not the other two guys (my fiance and friend) so I got in the car with my Ipod on as I didn't know who I was sitting next to. The first line he ever said to me was you're gonna listen to your f*****g Ipod all the way there and back huh (such a charmer lol) so I took my Ipod off as I was embarassed. Got to know him and the other friend in the car as the driver was then turning into a douche (another story) anyway we stopped half way for dinner as me, driver and other friend were hungry. My fiance then got a KFC as he can eat like no ones business and we all got back in the car and he jokingly offered me a nibble of his corn on the cob which I took and it made him laugh (phew ice was broken completely then lol) anyway we get to the concert and someone had rung me and when I had finished talking on the phone I jokinginly said Martin catch me and for the life of me he did lol!! I expected him to let me fall over on concrete.. we still laugh about it now lol. Anyway we mucked about during the concert which annoyed the driver so we carried on as he was being a douche all night.

On the way home Martin and his friend had decided to swap on the way home and as I got to the car and Martin was gonna sit in the front I called out I wanna sit next to thingy lol. He was called thingy all the way home and I still call him thingy sometimes as it makes him smile. On the way home he bought me a packet of rolos of which I gave him the last one and I fell a sleep on his lap lol and he still says I was lucky not to get a mushroom print on my forehead lol. We also swapped numbers on the way home and were texting each other on the back seat and the two in the front were then oblivious to what we were doing.

It took a few months to make our relationship official as we had people interfering (driver in the car as he was jealous) and I had to end my then abusive relationship and I was diagnosed with depression within this. but my fiance gave me the strength to end my relationship and we told the people interfering to do one and we have been together ever since He is my rock and I love him to pieces

In our university server room... cos we're both geeks.... ? Very romantic indeed! Our eyes met across the IBMs.....!

In a towel. I'd just got out the shower and he was visiting my Uni flatmate.

At school! We were friends but he had a girlfriend of 18months (that's a long time when you're 15!) but I nicely stole him for myself (just about the only naughty thing I've ever done!) after we spent an evening being prefects and helping out at a parents evening thing! I was determined to make him mine after that night!! X

Dating Direct.

Met in person 3 months later, by the Bull statue in Birmingham.

We met at work, we were friends for 6months before we even went of a date ;-) 5 years later we are now engaged and are still best friends ;-)

What a nice post! Always lovely to re-live the moment!

An acquaintance of mine put on FB they they needed someone to work in their friends pub last minute, so I did! I met the boss and turned to jelly, he was gorgeous. Over the next few months I never really saw him then, then called him after a holiday and said 'you owe me money and I'm leaving' he said no no I am closing the pub and opening a restaurant please stay...and I did!

One night a party of very drunk girls were throwing up in the restaurant and he said please can you stay late I'll drop you home. So I did...and I was like a nervous wreck in that car....He was so handsome!!! He then text me in the morning 'morning baby dont be late for work' I melted!

Over time we were texting a lot, and he would drop me home but nothing every happened, not even a kiss!

It was his birthday coming up and I said oh how old are you going to be? When he told me I was upset, he was a lot older than me and it put me off....luckily my mum said still give him a chance.

Then I met him out with his friends a few months after texting each other everyday and when he finally kissed me I was in love!!! I ran to the toilets to text my mum as I was just so excited! I stayed at his that night.....and every night that week....well for about 3 weeks haha!!

I am so glad that the aquaintance but that on FB....who by the way....was his gf at the time haha! OOPS sorry!

I now have the biggest grin on my face because after 3 and a half years I am finally to be married to the love of my life who I love just as much as when we had that first kiss!

Take a bow, son.

Romance and soppiness make me feel a little bit skeevy anyway. Who needs roses and chocolates when you've got fags and booze? ?

In da club, I was dressed as a giant banana, he was dressed as Luigi (as in Mario's b!tch)

He was dating my friend, she was more interested in another guy, so I kindly took him off her hands ? H2B claims that when my friend introduced us, he thought I was beautiful, ha. Me and my friend are still best buds almost 4 years later we are linked in so many ways it's spooky x

Match.com - chatting online for a few days and decided to meet up! He said he liked that I wrote in full sentences rather than text speak.

Went on our first date on January 2nd 2011 and never left each others side from that day.

I still have all the texts on my phone, from our first text to the first one with 'Love you' on it right up to today's - a very unromantic one about the piccadilly line

Turns out my Dad went to school with his parents (where they met and are still together 30+ years later) and we'd bumped in to each other at a funfair when we were both in buggies so we think it was fate. My Mum thinks there's a photo of it somewhere and I really want to find it and put it on our invitations

Basically I moved into a houseshare in Liverpool where he already lived. We quickly became great friends then slowly but surely fell in love ?

There are lots of very mushy and exciting bits inbetween which led to us getting together and falling in love but it would be a bit of an essay!

I am the type of person to rush into things and wear my heart on my sleeve usually but because of things that I was going through at that time I wasn't able to rush into anything and I'm so glad I didn't because we really built a good ground for our relationship and he is now my best friend as well as my H2B ?

Our little coincidences are:

We were born a day apart, same year. My birthday is 12th June, his is 13th June. He's my toyboy!!

I originally moved to that area of Liverpool six months before. I sent a couple of emails out to landlords when looking for a place, but quickly found somewhere as there are loads of houseshares in that area. After six months I had to move out due to them selling the house and ended up moving into another houseshare which was where H2B lived and where we fell in love. Fast forward two and a half years later when me and H2B are leaving the house to move to London together. Our landlord told us he had been sorting out his emails and found one from me six months before I moved in, asking for a room which H2B had just taken. Out of all the houses in that area, I still ended up moving in there with H2B anyway six months later!

At work. He got a job as a chef, I was restaurant supervisor at the time.

At a swimming competition.

I was in a swim suit, he was directing the competitors.

Through an ex boyfriend... my boyfriend (at the time was being an arse and wanted to sit in the front of the car) so i sat in the back with Dan....we went round a roundabout very sharply and my seatbelt came undone and i went flying into his lap... it was like 1000 volts going through me :0 ( cringe i know ) .... We got together very soon after (I split up with my ex and he split up with his!)

All thanks to a dodgy seatbelt x

He is the holiday fling that went wrong!

On Facebook!!

Brilliant! Hope you have pictures. Lol

Ooooo I love romantic encounters ;0) xx

Ohhh the irony MrsA2B * lol!! ;0) xx

Both 25, both in a relationship, both had 2 children...

I started work at my local, which I had been regularly frequenting from the age of 16 (oops!)

On one of my first shifts a guy walked into my work area and began chatting to me. Very friendly, smartly dressed, smiley and with some rather effeminate mannerisms. I assumed he was gay... Later during that shift I was informed he was the assistant manager and had just returned from paternity leave- oops again lol!

Anyway, 6months on both our relationships had broken down (nothing to do with eachother- both exes pretty psycho haha!) and said psycho ex of mine came into the public ratted and wanting to batter me so Mark (who was doing sleep in cover at the time) shipped me up to the flat where I sat on the stairs and became a gibbering wreck. He was so lovely and sorted all sorts out for me then we shared our first kiss.

I could say the rest is history but not so....

We fell madly in love, had a glorious 6months together then he found it hard spending more time with my kids than his own, so suddenly returned to his former relationship. Totally out of the blue. Devastated.com

Fast forward 7 years. I had another long term relationship which I got out of for various reasons, he had married someone else and left (complete nutjob) and we began talking again. He then had the horrible news that his 48 yr old mum had been killed in an rta and he immediately text me for support. Out of that terrible situation, our relationship blossomed.

7 years on, We now have a beautiful 4yo daughter together and get married in 3 months.

I know his Mum will be with us on the day :0)

Xx

In our first week of uni, one of my housemates who was doing law had gone to the first meeting of the law society, which was being held in the bar below our flat. Some of my housemates and I went to meet her a little later and she was sitting with a group of people, including my OH. I didn't stay long at all because I'd just popped in on the way to meet my BF at the time, I can't even remember if I spoke to OH, but he said he remembered me because I was the girl with the curly hair.

It turned out he was living in the next block of halls to us and our 2 flats hung out together a lot. OH and I almost kissed on a night out but I was still with my BF and I knew he was complicated with a girl back home so nothing came of it and we cooled things down.

Things got worse with my BF though so I broke it off for good and on my 19th birthday, which was in the second week of uni, I went out for a curry with my new social group. Afterwards we went back to our flat and played ring of fire, where they got me completely smashed. I was dared to down a jug of leftover gravy, with some oil and chilli mixed in for good measure, and in my naivety I did it without batting an eyelid, before projectile vomiting it and my curry back up a while later.

OH looked after me and put me to bed whilst the others were picking grains of rice out of the carpet, but when he tried to leave my room I held on to him and tried to convince him he wanted to stay. Needless to say he didn't that night as I'd just expelled the contents of my stomach in front of him, but the following night I had more luck and the rest's history ?

On a dating website, moved in together after 7 months engaged after 11 and will marry in 7 months. When you know..you know.

Errrr. Really nothing romantic about our story!!!!

We met in May 2008 in a Chicago Rock nightclub. I turned around as he was putting his glass on the bar and instantly fancied him. After what I thought was just a one night stand we started seeing each other. Much to my surprise 6weeks later I found out I was pregnant- the bugger had told me he was infertile!!!! We split up at this point and he disappeared but he came back when I was 20weeks and wanted to make a go of things. We moved in together a month before I was due, and that was that!!!

4.5 years, another baby, several family crises and 2 cats later and I can't believe how strong our relationship is. We are an odd fit, and I know if it wasn't for our first baby we would never have given things a go. I'm so so so thankful for all we have together, everything happens for a reason

The salon I worked at the time was owned by 2 sister. 1 of the sister said the other was selling money from the salon next thing we know there was an big falling out and police was called, in walked one very good looking policeman, we all had to give an statement lucky I was ill when it was ment to be happen so my statement was very short and but h2b ended up being at my house for nearly 2 hours talking well doing the statement we found out we had the same birthday 2weeks later was our birthday nearly at the same time we both found each other on Facebook wish each other happy birthday from then we was talking everyday end of case we found out the case with my boss was being dropped, had are first date 14th July 2009 and that was it been together every since.

That would have been dangerous even if he was infertile!

Got love the online dating!

Uniform dating and we met 3 months later at the airport (scary stuff)

From the age of 4 - 16 we were at the same school, knew each other vaguely, had some mutual friends and sat next to each other in Geography. Then when we were 18 our mutual friends arranged a group holiday, we were both invited. Got to know each other, had a little kiss, been together ever since. 8 years and one dog later we're getting married.
