I was just thinking, i love thinking about when me and My fiance met and how we progressed Smiley smile. How did you all meet yours?

Mine.....
I was working for a kitchen in a kitchen with in a factory called Renishaw, i used to do all the vending machines fill them up clean them and fix if i could. I knew most of the people and always had a good chat. One day i was stopped by the maintenance/electric guy Scott and he introduced me to Sam, it was a love at first sight thing, everything seemed to go quiet as i looked at him Smiley smile. I went completely red as he said hi nice to meet you Smiley smile.

A few weeks went on, i was making excuses to go to his end of the factory....trying to fix vending machines that weren't broken. I would make sure i seen him every day Smiley smile. In the end the girls in the kitchen pulled him to one side and gave him my number (i know very playground). We were texting for a while before i picked up the courage to call him, pacing round my living room. Then it clicked....he's maintenance so i rang him and said "your maintenance arent you, well my tap up stairs wont stop dripping and i cant turn it off any more than it already is" ...... He then offered to come round and fix the tap and we went from there.....mind you he didnt bring any tools lol. He left me for a good 8 months to go travelling which broke my heart and when he came back, i ran and jumped on him in the airport!!!! it was just like the films lol.

My names Samantha Joanne Durn
His Name is Samuel John Chappell
My dad is a John
His dad's John
When we met he had just bought a house in Durns Road......which is also my last name.
Spooky or what.

    Love this post and reading all the replies Smiley smile

    We were at same school but didn't really meet until I was with his best mate at age of 15 which only lasted few months. He liked me alot and we got together and lasted a WHOLE day... haha seriously!! I didn't actually like him, just wanted to shut him up lol. We both got new partners then I realised I did actually like him when I seen him with his new girlfriend but strangely he didn't believe me! Eventually, I talked him round to believing me and we finally got together again 2 and half months after the first time and nearly 7 years later we have bought a house together, been engaged nearly 4 years and planning our wedding!! Not the most romantic one lol x

    I love hearing how people got together Smiley smile

    I met OH at school when we were 16, got drunk at a party and kissed him. we went out for a couple of months before I broke up with him (I'm not exactly sure why any more Smiley atonished)

    He then went out with one of my friends for about a year which made me realise I still liked him. I dated someone else, broke up. he and my friend broke up. About a month later, we got drunk and nearly kissed outside my house but got interrupted by my brother running out in his pyjamas looking for the cat lol.

    A couple of weeks and a lot of flirting later, I go round his to hang out and he kissed me and we got back together. we've now been together for five years Smiley smile

    Some amazing stories Smiley smile

    I was visiting a friend at Leicester Uni, (I was living in Brighton at the time) they had a film themed society Christmas party, so I was Jessica Rabbit and he was James Bond. I was being a bit of a stroppy miserable cow as I had just gone through a very bad break up, so the friend I was with told me to pick a guy that I liked the look of and she would introduce me to take my mind off the ex. I chose a guy that turned out to be her happily married lecturer, so James Bond was my second choice! He almost joined his friends in dressing as a Thunderbird, so things could have gone very differently! I will never forget my friend saying 'are you sure? You know he's ginger right?'. Ahh the path of true love!

    I was fresh faced and 18 out on student night for my friends 'brace removal' celebrations...... You can see already where this story is going....

    Me and the girls queuing for quite possibly the dingiest dirtiest club in colchester and drunk and singing when the group of lads behind join in.

    OH then got nickname fit green tshirt boy.

    OH gets so drunk he loses all his friends and finds me (wrongly assuming i know his friends from chatting in the queue)

    Conversation flows about our joint love of 5ive and how we've both seen Justin Timberlake live and we find out we have a friend in common (which i secretly already knew hehe.... he'd shown me a pic of him before saying he wanted to hook us up)

    We kiss.

    I go home.

    I text friend for OH's number and OH does the same.

    The rest is history.... Seven and half years later.... we are a year away from getting married!! (yes i know he took his time lol! Smiley winking

    We met when we were 15 and 10 years later are finally ready to get married. My friend met him via an MSN chat room and I went with her to make some he wasn't some scary weird guy, she didn't like him but I did. He tells people we met in Piccadilly train station because he doesn't like saying we met online and that's where she arrange to meet him. Not very romantic but it's our story.

    We met at my old uni housemates wedding, he was her boss at the time. It all started over sharing the bottle of vodka I had hidden in my bag ( post uni not got a job and very poor stage!) He asked Jo for my number a week after when she went back to work and we have been together ever since.

I met him a couple of times through my then boyfriedd and then when I broke up with my then boyfriend I didnt see him again. When I was about 20 I went on Faceparty and thoughtI wonder what happended to that lovely 13 year old boy and I found his profile and I just remember thinking OMG he is so HOT! I sent him a message straight away asking if he remembered me. Amazingly he had never forgotten about me either!! I remember him asking me what happended to my perm!

    Match.com I'd only been single for two months and joined just as a distraction. I never dreamed such a great guy would be on there. I wouldn't meet him for a month because I was studying with the OU and had an assignment due. I was half an hour late for our date because the local trains went off last minute. We were texting each other as I had to run across town in heels but on the second date I never turned up at all (due to a confusion as to whether ''next Tuesday" is the
    "this Tuesday" or actually means "Tuesday of next week"). For some reason, he thought I wasn't that keen, but within 10 minutes of meeting him, I'd texted my Mum and told her I'd met someone with the potential to be very important in my life. 5 years later he proposed.

    We met playing world of warcraft, an online game in 2004. We would help each other and chat every day by just typing. I had already fallen for him but after 6 years I worked up the nerve to ask him for his phone number. We exchanged photos, started to phone each other, then skype I found out he had felt the same all these years. Then we arranged to meet in person I lived in the midlands and he was in Bolton. The most nervous day of my life and the happiest he was all i'd hoped him to be. The next 2years we did the journey to see each other every 2 weeks. And now here i am I moved to Bolton almost 2 years ago so we could be together.

    Sometimes I look back to how everything fell together and I cant believe my luck. I am the happiest woman in the world

    Me & OH (Liam)met in year 7 at secondary school at a school disco! I thought he was gorgeous (& way out of my league), he thought I was nice, but annoying and loud! He danced with one of my friends at the disco & he used to come to our form room every day for a bit after that, I did not mind ?. A couple years later, we went on a residential trip to an army base together and became quite good friends. A few months after this, I moved to the same town as him and we saw each other every day and became pretty much best friends. I liked him A LOT at this point but never told him as didnt wanna ruin our friendship, asking him now he says he felt the same. & then... I moved to Cyprus for 2 years. We spoke over MSN messenger and somehow he found out I liked him and we planned to meet up when I came home on a visit. I never saw him ☹️ and he had started dating another girl. I didn't really speak to him after that as I was so annoyed that he hadn't even bothered to see me.

    A couple of months before I planned to move back to England in 2008 we started chatting again on MSN messenger and became good friends again, he eventually decided that he wanted to be with me, but at this point I was in another relationship, with a complete idiot. He was there for me everytime this guy was awful to me and on the day I moved back we met up and it was literally like we'd never been away from each other! I ended up splitting up with the idiot, and me and Liam started dating 5 days after I moved home on 26th July 2008! ?

    3 years later, he asked me to marry him on 14th February 2011 and our wedding is booked for the 26th July 2014 - 6 years after we got together ?
