Chidders, 27 of April of 2011 at 15:07 Posted on Planning 0 75

Just off the back of your first words thread, I am intrigued as to where/how you met your OH.......

We met at work, worked at the same place for 6 months (not same dept though) and eventually got chatting on someone's leaving do.

    Initially through a forum not dissimilar to this one, then on a night out in Nottingham arranged through all the people on the forum. Then just stayed in touch as friends for about 4 years before getting together.

    We met volunteering for a charity that run week long american style activity camps for children with serious illnesses. It was my first camp (at Easter) but my OH had been volunteering at the camps for 6 years.

    I didn't get to know him too much over that week as he left the week early to go a do a ultra marathon to raise money for them. We got chatting on facebook in the months afterwards and had our first date the night before the summer camp we were both going to. It's now three years later exactly (this years Easter camp has just finished).

    We met at the NEC in Birmingham, I was a rep going into a trade show and he was head of security and wouldnt let me into the trade stand area without giving him my mobile number first.

    After a few months of meeting up and talking every day, he came down to see me over a weekend, I took very suddenly ill, he saved my life and he never went back to Birmingham... nearly 6 years later we are planning our wedding Smiley smile

    I met my OH at College. I was the only girl in a class of about 40. We were friends for about 3 years through College and Uni, at the end of 3rd year at Uni, my OH was planning on leaving, and i was going to stay on and do my honours. So it would be the last time he would get to see me in a social setting. We all went out after our last exam on the 23rd of May 2007, and in the small hours of the 24th we had our first kiss (awww) He then phoned me the next day to ask me out properly and i was a bit hesitant at first (even though i really liked him) He came over to see me a couple of days later and ended up meeting almost all my family! scary! 5 and a half months later, he proposed and the rest as they say, is history!

    Mutual friend's birthday party. She's now our Maid of Honour Smiley laugh He almost didn't go as he hates parties but he's pleased he did now! We were 17 and drunk as anything... how unromantic! Our first date was in a public library so we could revise for our A-levels! He didn't get much work done... I did, wasn't going to let some man stand in the way of my education ?

    We met at a nightclub called Zanzibar in Leicester! Got each other's numbers and went our separate ways- then after texting for a couple of months we met up and the rest is history ?

    We are going to the real island of Zanzibar for our honeymoon- we always joked about it but now it's actually happening! ?

    I was going on a double date, dragged along by a friend. Our date's accidently went to the wrong bowling alley so ended up being 2 hours late. In that time my h2b had came over bought us a drink and left me his number, before going back to join his friends who were watching the 2006 world cup final. We then spent the rest of the night glancing over at each other, needless to say the date I had been waiting for had no chance after I had met my future husband lol!

    Well I don't think we'll win any classiest couple competitions, but here goes;

    We met in a pub. I was with my ex at the time, and he introduced us. Me and the ex broke up. As the saying goes 'to get over a man get under another' ?

    I think it took about 6 months of 'having fun' to realise it was more than that. 4 and a half years later and here we are planning the big day!

    We met online. Not on a dating site though as we were both in relationships already. We met in a regional chat room. I was a stay-at-home Mum with my little boy and he was working away loads.. he used to chat in there to keep boredom at bay in the evenings in his hotel room and I used to go into the chat room to keep myself from going insane as I had no friends (long story).

    We both had partners who didn't live with us and weren't anything serious. We started as friends, emailing every now and then.. and then we met at a chat-room meet. I think I really fell for him on that fateful night, I had already split up with my boyfriend but he was still spoken for but he soon split with her and confessed that he really liked me. We spent a year doing the whole long-distance relationship thing until we moved in with one another.. then we got engaged 6 months later.. 9 months after that we had our little girl.. and now, 2 years after that.. we are mere months away from our wedding!

    At work. He joined my team in the call centre we worked for (I still do, he doesn't) and I wasn't a manager then - how inappropriate would that have been! I was with someone at the time, we broke up and a few weeks later I saw him on a night out, one thing led to another....6 years later here we are!

    We met in a bar. I was in a really good mood because my boyfriend had recently dumped me and I went out with some friends,was looking amazing and getting lots of attention when I saw my ex was there too! Seemed too good to be true, especially when a very very good-looking man (OH) started chatting me up. OH and i spent the whole night dancing and talking and swapped numbers at the end of the night. Meanwhile, my ex had to go home after one of my friends drunkenly threw up on him! I love that story.

    I used to go see his band play all the time at my local. Always had a bit of a thing for him but was too terrified to talk to him. A few years later, I was leaving a message for my brother on MySpace and saw a familiar face in his friends list. I sent said face a bold message asking how he knew my bro and had we met because he looked so familiar, but I couldn't place him. We got chatting (still on MySpace!) and it turned out that one of his former band mates was now my brother's flatmate. I was mortified when I realised he was the same guy I'd fancied so much as a 17 year old! We ended up on a night out for said bandmate/flatmate's birthday and have been inseparable ever since!
