Work, long story...
I wouldn't expect the love of my life to show up in any other way.

Bob - 50 years - that’s awesome! Congrats sir!
Iron - loved that story - haha tank top shorty shorts pics or ban!
Phoenix - I’m 3 years behind you at 25.
We went to high school together but didn’t know each other. Another girl I went to HS with went to the same college as me. On breaks she worked with my wife waiting tables. Break coincided with my wife’s school breaks so we’d go out drinking...a lot. 28 years later (long distance dated for 3 years while away at school ) here we are. I’m lucky her standards aren’t very high.
Edit...and before anyone asks...no I never had a 3-way with wifey and her girlfriend.

Church! She moved here her senior year. I had no interest at the time but she liked me. I was getting harassed to take her out, so I did. First date was terrible. She said she needed to use the bathroom and I told her I could take her home so she could go there. I had her home before dark and went out street racing in the ol Foxbody.
Fast forward a year later. She came out of her shell and was herself. The preachers daughter side of her went to the wayside, not in a bad way......well, maybe in some. Lol!!!
We hung out one day, it wasn't planned and things got interesting......that's all I will say about that day, and now we've been married 11 years.

I was kinda dating this girl I played soccer with. One of my buddies that dated her years ago was not a fan of her and said I have a friend that is a better girl to date. So he set me up on a blind date with her. 17 years late we are still together.
Had met up with a buddy to go out for halloween, a friend of his met is there but she was with a guy so I assumed she was taken. She later friended me on Facebook but I paid little attention at the time. A year later she happened to be on vacation and I liked a pic of hers, she happened to message me and we hit it off from there.
Fast forward two years we’re married, just had a home built, and just had our first son.

My freshman year in high school, she was by far the most attractive senior in the entire school.... took a break in between because I was an idiot and was enjoying college life..and boom, here we are.
Great story. May you have many more happy years together! 25 is a milestone, too.
Congrats!
Nick, I remember you sharing the story of how you re-connected in more detail. You're happy now and that means a LOT!
At work. She was the administrative assistant to the department head of the group in which I worked.
We eventually got married, then divorced. The end.
EDIT: Guess I'm doing it wrong. You didn't ask how you met your EX lol.

Lol back in the day of AIM I was on one night, seeing who was on in my town.
I see her name and profile, hit her up, started talking, turns out we lived one street apart and she worked right around the corner from me.
Went on a few dates, things went well, so well that next week November 24 makes 17 years together, living together for 10, her son who was 6 at the time is now 23, her daughter who was 11 is now 28 with a 7 year old son, I’m grampa lol .
She has absolutely zero interest in cars, all she says when I tell her my upcoming car events for the year is have fun and be safe.
She hates to fly, but we’ve done Disney, Atlanta, Charlotte, and a few trips to Vegas.
I’m not much of a beach person so she and some girls from her work might go to the Bahamas next year, I’m fine with that . Like I said she never once has complained when I go on a car related trip or event.

Funny story...
For the past 2.5 years, I'd been going to MS State for my Masters degree. While there, I worked at the local Oreillys. Last September, this tall, cute brunette walked in holding a brake rotor and old pads. My coworker asked what she needed, and she said she needed new brakes for her Jeep. Well, my coworker glanced over at me, and said "Paul here would be happy to assist you!" So, I walk up, introduce myself, and say "Yes, ma'am, how can i help you?" She smiled at me and asked for brake pads and a new rotor. I look down at the old pads, and there is nothing left, no pad material AT ALL! (0_0)
So my retard brain goes full car-guy on her. "Ma'am, how long have you been driving on these?! This is not safe!" She blushes and says, "A while now. Is it that bad?"
#facepalm
So I get her new pads and a new rotor, all the while educating her on proper brake maintenance. As I'm ringing her up, I start chit-chatting, asking her if she was going to school at State, where she was from, what she did. She was working for Campus Crusaders, a Christian campus outreach program. I asked where she went to church and she told me and invited me to come.
As with all Oreillys, we ask for a customer's phone # to track purchases. When I asked for hers, I blushed and said "It's for the system, I won't call you about anything!" Smooth, right?
She gave it to me, and I secretly memorized it in my head. Then I figured "What the heck, ask." So I asked her "But if i wanted to, could I call you sometime for coffee?"
She seemed a little taken back at first but she smiled and said "Sure!"
We've been married for almost 2 weeks now and I'm the happiest I've ever been in my life!

The car thing Is a huge plus to me. Every car guy always says they want a girl to wrench on cars with them and go to car shows. Ive had a relationship like that and it sucked lol.
So I was at a car event in Wisconsin Dells with the guys and we go out to one of the local bars. Sure enough, there is a bachelorette party there and I end up hitting it off with this little hottie who was into cars. She told me she was married but likely heading towards a divorce, famous last words right. Well anyway, we stay in touch and sure enough, less than a month later she is filing for divorce. We figure we'll just hang out and have fun until things shake out and it's going good for a while. Well, I find out that at 27 this is now her 2nd divorce, and she starts hanging out with other guys that she says are friends. ok, whatever but it certainly seems like she's looking to play around after this divorce.
So a couple times with her I end up in a group of people a couple she knows and some she doesn't. We go tubing down one of the local rivers a few times and one day it was a birthday of a guy in the group and he was boozing pretty hard and has set his sights on one of the cute girls that was along and was being fairly aggressive. She knew him pretty well so she played it off like it wasn't bothering her but it did. I had met her once before at a prior event and since I had no trust in the first chick I decided to focus my attention on the girl that was clearly not interested in drunk birthday guy's advances. She appreciated the attention and me "protecting" her from that guy. Turns out that she's fun, doesn't have any baggage and has a plan in life. We hang out a few times which leads to getting into bed (frequently) and here we are 6.5 years later, married and with a kid on the way. Pretty old for first time parents, i'll be 35 when the kid comes and she'll be 2 months shy of 33.
For the record, original chick ends up dating a guy in the group for a few years, buys a house with him and then cheats on him and they break up. Real classy girl....

I guess you could say work. Met her at my first job when I was 16. We ended up becoming friends and running in the same group through the rest of high school and a little after. Shes a couple years older and moved out state after graduating. She moved back a few months later. I found out later on it was because she missed me. Eventually I got smart and started dating her. Everyone pretty much told me it was about damn time. We celebrated our 20 year anniversary last week.
I met my wife in 2003 in the 5th grade as a transfer. Dated someone else that year but hooked up with her in the sixth grade, in 2004, at 12 years old. Been together ever since. We're 26 now and have been married for six years. We have one kid and one due 12/6.
