H is my best friend's husband best friend and they set us up. I'm so glad it worked out. Actually they will be E's godparents and we are their child's godparents.

He ran a liquor store down a few blocks away from both my grad school campus and my apartment. I was a frequent customer. One day he just asked me to hangout after work. And here we are!

MH and I are both attorneys and worked at the same law firm. At the time, I was a law clerk and he had just passed the bar exam and was a newly minted attorney. We got to know each other over many, many drinks at the firm summer picnic and the rest is history!
Trivia night at the grad student bar on campus. I was invited by a mutual friend. They kept me on the team because I was the only non-law student and had interesting stories from student teaching. The first thing I ever said to him was "who the hell are you?" Keeping it classy. But I guess it was memorable?

We met at the beginning of our freshman year of college. My first new friend introduced me to his roommate (my H). I introduced that friend to my roommate (and they are now married!).
The 15th anniversary of our first date is later this month
He lived on the floor above me freshman year of college. We both moved in early and he and some other guys came down to my floor and I ran out of my room to see who was around as soon as I hear some activity because I was alone and bored AF. We dated *briefly* freshman year, but it wasn't really working out. The attraction remained and it took us a while to get our shit together. I ended up moving up to Boston to be with him a year after graduating college and we got married 2 years after that.
I love reading these! MH and I met at a bar. In 2009 I threw my high school bf a going away party, he had gone to college with my now H. H was at the bar and I thought he was cute and was surprised there was someone at the party I didn't know so I went to talk to him. He was living out of state at the time for work but moved back a few months later. We hung out with mutual friends and started dating and here we are 8 years later!

I met my DH through a church group at my college. We were also part of the same circle of friends. We were leaders together at a retreat the church group put on every semester, and started hanging out more one on one because of that. We started dating shortly after. . Got married August 2012.

I love these!
H and I met at the high school graduation party of a mutual friend. I'd heard a lot about him from her. They dated briefly and she never seemed to let go of it at the time. He sounded like an ass. But then I met him. He was still an ass but a cute one. His cocky attitude drew my attention. But then we didn't see each other for most of the summer until our mutual friend invited him and his best friend camping with us to fill a couple spots that had been vacated last minute. He finally admitted on the trip that he was hoping to hook up and I figured what the hell. I was leaving in a month to go to school out of state and he might be a fun fling that I could revisit over breaks.
He fake(ish) proposed with a Taco Bell sauce packet a month later while he came to drop me off at school and put a ring on it the second day I was home during my first winter break.
We've been together 9 years this summer and married for 7 this December.
Yep. It wasn't planned, really. We were planning on waiting until after I graduated but when H decided he wanted to join the Army, we decided to move up the date so that everything would be finalized before he went to basic training. So, my mom and I ended up having 5 weeks to get the wedding planned and we spent the first two years of being married mostly long distance.
thelittleredm - 5 weeks to plan a wedding? That's crazy!
I give full credit to my parents and my mom's best friend. I was still at school in MT and it was happening back in NM. The time of year was helpful, though. Our decorating was absolute minimum because it was a few days before Christmas so the reception venue and church were already decorated for the holidays. Like, the hotel for the reception had a massive Christmas tree set up in our ballroom and they designated it for wedding gift space. It was great Especially since I never ever ever wanted a winter wedding.
H's cousin made our cake so we didn't have to worry about finding a bakery in time. It did limit my dress options, though. I ended up only liking one dress in David's Bridal $99 sale and my mom had to order it in from CO because it was a discontinued dress and there were only 3 left in the country. I tried it on for the first time a week before our wedding. But it fit perfectly and just needed hemmed!
It was by far the least stressful party I've ever planned. And we got lucky because the reception venue opened up an attached ballroom to the one we were using for free because the group that was supposed up be in it had cancelled last minute. We actually had a ton of people show up that we weren't expecting because of the short notice.
H and I have known each other most of our lives. His dad was a customer of my grandparents since HE was a teenager, and he's known my mom since she was (his parents are almost 10 years older than mine). H and I have memories of playing together going back to 8 years old, but we don't remember meeting. My childhood best friend had a massive crush on him when we were 10 or so. In 2010 my mom actually asked him if he was single and he said he wasn't in a serious relationship, and she basically set us up. I asked if he wanted to go to a friends party with me and be my beer pong partner. I found out that he was at the end of a 5 year relationship and he was basically looking for a reason to leave. I told him how shitty it was to string two girls along a week later, and the rest is history.
Interesting history, that party was on my grandmas last birthday. My grandma and grandpa opened the business that his dad frequented (and still does), MH and I now run and his dad helped us save. Our daughter is named after her. Amazing how everything is cyclical

We met in college, he transferred in winter semester of my sophomore year. He was my first serious boyfriend and we started dating 11 years ago this summer. Crazy.
