How Did You Meet Your Spouse?

Double R and others:
I think all people with green eyes should be locked up.
When you meet one of those green-eyed rascals your brain stops.
Oh! Ah! Yeah!

One spouse .. we were married for 49 years. 👼
We first met in high school at a football rally when we were 14/15. ... He was in his Band uniform with his tenor saxophone, and I was a drum majorette with the band.

Same answer ..:)
.. the very minute I saw him, I was in love. .. I told my best friend that day that I was going to marry him. And 5 years later we did.
 
I was working in a deli,he was working across the street doing maintenance at a funeral home,he asked for a tuna sandwich,I said we didn't have any so he picked up a can of tuna and I made the sandwich.
That was 1974 and I fell head over heels in love,we were married on 10/3/1975 and were still happily married when a very aggressive lung cancer took him on 4/11/06.
He was the love of my life and I can't forsee there being a #2.

Well, I was quietly nursing a vodka tonic at the top floor bar of a night club in Waikiki minding my own business. In the mirror, I could watch couples out on the dance floor.

Sounds somewhat familiar

I was standing at the bar
The Hello Bar, Houston
You could say it was the top floor (it was the only floor)
It seemed to be revolving
Nursing a beer
Looking in the mirror behind the bar
Trying to focus

Got a call (the bar was my office)
It was my buddy's girlfriend
Had somebody she thought I should meet
Grabbed a cab
Showed up
We sat there at the kitchen table most the night
The only thing I remember about that night was seein' her hind end go up the stairs

50 years and 17 grandkids later, I'm still showin' up

I first met her in a hospital room. She was visiting with her first husband (who died at 31) I was friends with her brother & he frequently wanted me to accompany him when he visited them in his hospital room. I felt like an intruder, but at the time, I thought I was helping a friend. Well, wisdom comes with age.....
 
A good friend of mine took me out to meet his girlfriends sister. She was barely 17 years old with beautiful brunette hair and hazel eyes. That good friend became my brother in law as we both married the sisters....

That was on Sat, 13-Jan-79, so near to 40 year ago.

I posted the following on another forum awhile back - pretty well says it all for me.
"I can recall the first time I saw her clear as day. What she was wearing, how she was sitting, the chair she was in, the look on her face when we first saw each other. That was almost 40 year ago.
I was hooked deep from the moment we looked each other in the eye.
Life's a dance and you learn as you go.
I feel sorry for folks who never get to experience growing old together and growing more in love each day.
I do not have the vocabulary or writing skills to express how I feel for her......
I hope you find this love..."
 
Lovely story... I got married 3 years before you in '76, but it didn't last, we would have been married 43 years last july.. but we were too young.

Just as a matter of point..your Anniversary is not ''near to 40 years'' it's 41 years in January coming up.. :)

That was beautiful, I was lucky enough to find that kind of love for the last 55 years. 😊
 
I met my husband thru a friend, when he brought me home from our first date he kissed me on the forehead, I knew then I was going to marry him! He passed away last year, we were married 55 years I didn’t think it was possible to miss someone so much. I’m glad I found this forum, it has helped me so much. 😊

I'm so sorry for your loss Lvs... it's still so new. Yes, you have us, we're here for you!
 
We had the same last name and lived in the same apartment house. Kept getting each other's mail, and one day my door bell rang. I thought that odd as it was a secure building and no one was let past the desk unless expected. I looked through the spy hole and all I saw was a shirt and tie, so I put the chain on and cracked the door. There he stood all 6'4 Inches of him with my mail from that day. Instead of returning it to the desk, he decided he wanted to meet this other person with his name. The rest is history.
 
I saw a interview many years ago with Paul McCartney that's still makes me chuckle.
Several years after he lost his first wife (Linda) the interviewer asked how they met & why he married her.
He said something about a photo shoot she was doing, then he said, "Well...you know...I found that I really liked sleeping with her."

55 years ..then some on top, is very long time, a whole lifeetime, where you've gone through metamorphosis, and done it together. I often think that anyone who has been married as long as you have tend to become one person rather than 2 in the way you understand each other so fully emotionally and mentally, and so therefore the pain and loneliness of losing your dear husband cannot be measured...

I hope we can be of some company for you , as much as possible.. (((hugs)))
