Ok Girls here's a good one if i do say so myself. How long did you date before you married your spouse?
I was married before. I divorced in April of 89 and started dating the love of my life on June 30th of 89. July 18 of 89, he proposed. I said yes. We got married on Sept. 9, 89. Don't get me wrong we have had our ups and downs. But you have to give and take. I didn't marry his family I married him. It's a good thing too just ask Janet. lol. we have been together for 17 years and right now it seems to be the best of those years so far. I have been truly blessed.

Let's see. We met in November I believe and we were married the next September. (we both had to finalize our divorces first or it would have been sooner)

Both my hubby and I are on our 3rd marriages. ( I know ladies, don't freak) We just knew it was right, we were meant for each other. Besides, 3rd times a charm!

My hubby and I met in the fall of 2002, we had a class together in college. We had our first date on Dec. 3, 2002, he proposed on February 4th, 2005, and we got married August 6, 2005. We would have gotten married sooner, but I wanted to finish college first (hubby is 2 years old so he had already finished). I got married 3 days after my last day of college!

I met my hubby when I was 22, and I knew he was the one. But I felt like I was too young to get married. He was 30 when we met. So an 8 year age difference. So we dated for 4 years before we got married. But we moved in together after 2 years!!!!! So now we are going on 7 years of being together and going on 2 years of marriage! YAY!!!!!!!! And this is both of our 1st marriage!!!!! And I still like him...LOL!!!!!!! So I truly do hope we last forever!!!! I can't imagine not being with him!!!!

How did you remember when you met him? You must have a great memory capacity or there must be a good memory about the day you met. (if it's the second one then, do tell !!!) < i'm nosy>

No not really, this is gonna kill ya I just know it!!!

We were fixed up by my friends gay husband. They had a big street light in front of their house and underneath the streetlight was this old, beat up, each panel a different color '55 Chevy. I didn't go at the specified time (I was just about to turn 16) and I wasn't going to go out with some weirdo that drove a car like that. So after a while my friend called and asked where I was and I told her "aint no way I'm going out with this guy". She finally talked me into it and when I went over there he was...in clothes that didn't match and he had on corduroy pants with the threads so thick he looked like a bear from the waist down. We didn't go anywhere just sat and talked, (I would have been embarassed to death for my other friends to see me with the half bear guy). After a while I said I didn't feel well and went home. He called the next day and asked me out, but I told him I didn't know. Well he talked me into it once I asked him to just wear jeans. OH MY GOD this goofball arrives wearing a nice blue shirt and a pair of jeans with peace signs all over them. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!! He was so nice though and even though we DID NOT get out of the car.... we had a nice talk and I casually told him he dressed like a freak. From then on he dressed much better and as time went on most of his presents from me were clothes. HAHAHA So here we are today ...just as happy as two matched people could be.

He's not so bad and going down memory lane reminded me of that.....thanks gals.

Give it more than that. You are still young.

rivermom · 09-20-2006, 04:18 PM

You all are so great at remembering dates. All I know is I've been married 8 years. I can't remember yesterday let alone the year. LOL

09-20-2006, 04:23 PM

I only remember mine because it was a holiday. When we met, I was three sheets to the wind and I can't remember what we talked about. I do remember making out with him later that night. I was thinking man, I am seeing fireworks. I was so drunk that I forgot it was Independence Day!

I met Greg through mutual friends when I was visiting them with a different boyfriend in Oct of 1981. He told them when we left that "That's the woman I want. I'm going to marry her." They about laughed him out of the place, saying that I would NEVER give up the guy I was with for anyone. (We had been childhood sweethearts and rediscovered each other after my divorce.)

Greg was NOT a womanizer... had really only had ONE girlfriend before me and was 34 years old! So it was a shock to our friends and ME when I moved in with him 5 months later! We lived together until Aug of 1985 when we married. He proposed 3 times before I finally caved in. I was extremely gunshy after my 1st marriage and really wasn't eager to repeat that.
