I met my husband at college. We were both around 40, and we had both gone back to college after many years. Anyway, he was in line in front of me in the snack shack one day, and he was a nickle short. He and the cashier were going round and round about it. Finally, I dug in my purse, pulled out a nickle and gave it to the cashier. He waited outside for me and we began talking. We've been together 10 years now, and when people ask us how we met, I always say, "I bought him for a nickel!!!" Best 5 cents I ever spent!!!!
I met my hubby while working at a pet store. The owners son was coming home on leave after just getting back from a 6 mo deployment in Japan. I had never met him before even tho I had worked there for over a year and he had been home on leave (with his then fiance!) before going to Japan. He was there THE only Sat that I had off in probably my first 6 months of working there.
A guy walked in the store and asked where his parents were and I asked him who were his parents. I knew who he was talking about but I had to be the smart a$$ that I am. I thought he was way hot! We started out flirting like crazy and then we started hanging out in the evenings. I knew pretty much from the moment that I first saw him that he was the one for me! It was so hard to watch him leave when he had to go back to the Marines!
We talked all the time, both online and on the phone. We became very close friends and talked for hours everyday about everything. We met in Bakersfield one Saturday a couple weeks after he went back to San Diego for our first official date. After that he came home on leave to visit a couple times and I went down to SD as often as I could.
His parents decided to close up the pet store, my dad had just been killed by a drunk driver and I was ready for a change of scenery! I packed up my stuff and moved down to SD. I got my apt on my 21st bday and just 6 months after meeting him. We were married 7 months later and just celebrated 5 years in May. He is the one that was made for me and I can't imagine being with any one else!

Meet my wife 12 years ago after finding her purse at a local restaurant. Been through a divorce previous year had custody of my daughter. Wasn't looking for anyone. Returned her purse. She wasn't home. Left her my sisters number, thought maybe she would just return it for me. She called that night and thought it was my wife on the recording. I Brought it back the next night, all credit cards and money intact. Talked briefly, she had been through a divorce a few years back. Didn't think much when I came, she told her mom I was married (She called my sister). Then I called and asked her out. She asked what about my wife? Said.."huh?" Then I knew what she was talking about and explained it all. She laughed. Well, six months later after we meet we were living together. Married after that. You just never know what the Lord has planned for you!

In a roller skating rink -he was a player -he was there with his "girl-friend" - I was the good church going girl- he sent his sister out on the floor to find out my name-later when I went to a bar/dance hall he showed up and asked me if I wanted a drink or a dance- we danced. We met, 6 months later we were engaged and 6 months later married. We have now been married 19 years-3 houses and 3 kids later.....the story continues...

That's really cute I should tell my sister to buy some purses and leave them at restaurants, you never know.
We met on ICQ in Jan 2001. We were just friends though. Then in 2003, I got the chance to go to Germany and the program just happened to be a few km from where he lived. He told me to meet him when I got there. I wasn't going to, but then the program was going to make me live with this utterly insane elderly woman. No thanks. It was Saturday night, so I couldn't get ahold of the program director to complain. I ended up calling my now husband instead out of complete and utter desperation. He was there, knew immediately who I was, and came and rescued me.
Three years later, we are married with a 7 month old who is as cute as a button.
