Your Story

Technically, I met mine in high school, but we never really spoke then. He was a few years older. We reconnected a few years later over a game of Trivia Crack!

Aww I love reading all of these!! We met as camp counselors at a kids camp. I was there to help train staff (had worked there for 3 years, everyone else including director were new) and we picked up pinecones in the yard (most ridiculous task the former director ever had us do). I was so in love within the first two weeks, he was the only one who has ever challenged my ideas and made me think more about my perspective! He was totally not about it and I patiently waited a couple of summers for him to be ready. I knew the entire time he was the one and he now says that he knew too, he was just very scared to give his heart to someone. When we were both in the area for work (I worked for same owners as the camp director and he worked as a packer at their hunting lodge) we said what the hell, let's do this. Two months after we started dating I took a job as hostess of the lodge after camp, moved into his cabin (no electricity, plumbing, heat was a woodstove), and we never looked back!! My mom actually had saved a letter from him to me from our summer together those years ago.. in it he said "I love you like a good slice of pizza" and that he wasn't ready yet but knew we would always be connected. I have loved every single moment with him.

Hi Biaani!

My FW and I are ... bar sweethearts LOL. We met 6,5 years ago but contrary to other posters , it wasn't cute at all 🤭: She was drinking with a friend, I was drinking my twin sister, FW and I were next to each other. I was listening to her (we were BOTH drunk) and I told my twin sis: "This girl seems to be annoying,dumb. She is hot but I wouldn't date her coz she is such an idiot!". She heard this,smiled at me and said she felt the same way about me, so she started an argument and we argued until a barmaid told us to get a room. 😃

I saw her the day after at the same bar, she told me I was annoying,tactless the day before because I was drunk but she thought I was cute. I responded that both feelings were mutual!

We both wanted to get to know each other right after this (but we didn't get a room that day or the day before LOL).

We're not planning to tell our story on our website or our joint welcome speech at the reception 😃.

We officially met freshman year of high school in biology class, BUT he told me that he used to see me in the library and walking the halls in eighth grade and that he had a crush on me. I had no idea he existed then 😂 We started dating at the end of freshman year and will have been together for seven years this May 29th


He proposed on a beach in Florida last week and surprised me with this beautiful ring (he told me he was going to use my great grandma’s ring, so it was quite the shock when I saw it)

View Quoted Comment This is hilarious! When I 1st saw my FH I was taken aback by how handsome I thought he was, but when I met him my 1st thought was “What a waste!” 😂 I thought he was so arrogant & talked too much! He thought I was going to be that super annoying girl that asked too many questions in class and kept everyone late 😂 Turns out we were both wrong about each other and those things I thought were annoying have actually been the things I appreciate the most.

I love these kinds of threads! I love sharing our story.

We met in high school at my junior prom...because he was my best friend's date! They were dating at the time, but about 2 weeks into the relationship (and after the prom), she told me that he wasn't for her, but thought he'd be absolutely perfect for me. I was not having it, I thought it would be so wrong to date my best friend's ex-boyfriend, so nothing came of it even though we both really liked each other. We did however hang out and become great friends in high school up until I left for college. Then he got a girlfriend who didn't approve of him having female friends, so we grew distant. Then one day, someone tagged him in something on Facebook and I saw his name, so I clicked on it to see what he was up to. His Facebook said he was single, but his ex was still all over his page, so I didn't reach out. THEN I was on a date with a guy who wasn't working out and the guy mentioned Tinder, so I downloaded it and my now FH was one of the guys who came up and we matched! We started talking again and our first date was on Christmas night that year and it was like we had never lost touch at all. The magic was much more intense between us, and we basically became inseparable since. As for my high school best friend...she still tells me to this day I should've just listened to her years ago, and she's probably right!

I'm glad to read a similar story. I'm not alone 😆😃."I thought he was so arrogant & talked too much": She told me this the day after LOL.
"we were both wrong about each other": same but she was right when she told me "you're chatty" LOL.

View Quoted Comment I think I now perceive his “arrogance” as confidence & realize that this quality actually inspires me to be more confident myself. In fact, many of the qualities I found annoying at first were actually things that I was somewhat lacking in and needed to cultivate. In turn, I think my example has encouraged him to be more humble. This is just one example of the old cliché “he made me a better person,” but it’s true and there are so many other ways that he has inspired me to be better. I’ve decided to try to avoid clichés in my vows though 😂

We met on Twitter while I was doing the Disney College Program in Orlando and he was back in the city I had left. He had a crush on me based off my tweets and I always forgot who he was but constantly complimented his profile pics every time he changed it. The time I offered him my number, I was pleasantly surprised that he was already in my inbox from a year prior, asking for my number. At that time I had been dating another guy, so I ignored him. After seeing that, I apologized profusely and we began to talk via text message.

I was supposed to visit home a week later but my ride cancelled at the last minute to pick me up from the airport. He offered and I reluctantly agreed, looking back, it was not the safest idea to have a stranger pick me up from the airport but I met my future husband. We talked the entire hour and a half of the road trip and made plans to see each other the next day. Funny thing is, I had originally come home to surprise a guy I was casually dating for his birthday but ended up spending the rest of the weekend with my FH. We even celebrate our dating anniversary on the guy's birthday (he was a selfish person that I needed to leave alone anyway so while I am supposed to feel bad about that, I don't lol).

We developed such a friendship over that weekend and I kid you not, I had had a dream about him a month prior to him getting my number. I was feeling lonely and started crying and saying to God "Where is my guy? Where is MY chance at happiness?" and I had a dream about a brown skinned guy with dreads and I felt a certain calm when I woke up like God said "here he is, now wait for him". I got that calm feeling the minute I got in my FH's car when he picked me up from the airport.

5 years later - I'm about to marry who God showed to me.

We first met when I was 15 and he was 18. His dad taught my younger brother and I judo and he came to help teach the class whenever he could. He thought I was cute and I though he was too but my 13 year old brother was jumping around and teasing us both so we didn't talk much (because what else do little brothers do but be annoying?). Nothing happened since that would have been more than a little illegal in Virginia. Fast forward 8 years, we were both on OkCupid and matched. I recognized him but he didn't recognize me until after we had set up our first date and exchanged names and phone numbers. First date was a beer festival and we really hit it off! Cooked dinner together and then he went to brunch with my little brother and I the next day. 1 year and 1 month after our first date he proposed!

So sweet.

Keep those clichés for your reception speech if you're giving one 😀😆.

Love all these stories! We work for the same company & started around the same time so although we lived in different states, we both traveled to the corporate office for training. He was the first person I shook hands with when I walked into the room. We have been inseparable ever since! This picture was taken after our first day of training when everyone went out for drinks. We became best friends instantly!

He messaged me on OkCupid a few days after Christmas when I was ready to give up on dating for a while, but something told me to message him back. We talked for a couple of days and he ghosted me, so I spent NYE with a guy I was casually seeing but was thinking about FH the whole time I was there and wondering what he was up to. A few days later he messaged me again, not realizing he had been the one who originally stopped contact and we eventually agreed to meet up at a Starbucks before one of my classes. I remember walking in and seeing him sitting at a table and thinking he was sooooo much more attractive than any photos I saw of him.

Spent the next 2 weeks going on dates and hanging out while I tried to sabotage anything we could've had because I could not believe someone like him would seriously want to be with me. After 2 weeks he invited me to a really important event for his dad where I met his entire family and he officially asked me to be his girlfriend - and both of us agreed that we weren't looking for anything long term, we just liked spending time together 😂 Almost 5 years later he proposed and that's still a joke between us.

The first time I met FH, he was an intern at the company where I had just joined full-time. We were acquaintances that summer, and then he returned to school to finish his final year. He accepted a full-time offer and returned the following summer, and his desk ended up being a few feet away from mine. We became best friends immediately! It's like I had known him for whole life. After about 1 year he finally admitted his feelings for me, and I felt the same! It turns out we had been secretly in love with the other the whole time, but wanted to stay professional 😁

My FH was a security guard at Comcast Universal and I was a barrista at the cafe that was next door. He was always cool with everyone else there and always very nice. I used to give him a hard time about liking Coldplay and his perfect hair. I started sharing random animal facts that I saw on the internet (ducks have curly penises, a mantis shrimp's claws can break glass) when he would come in for coffee. He would come in every day, sometimes twice. One of my coworkers told me "you know he never used to come in that much before you got here". We started flirting even more but he just wouldn't close. Finally I decided to leave him a note with my number inside a pastry bag...and the idiot never ate the pastry! I found out later he gave it to his brother who never saw the note!

So I thought he wasn't actually interested, but he kept coming around and flirting every day so I finally said "screw it". I was having an art show that week and he asked me about it and I told him he should come. So I whipped out my business card with my number and said "So like, are we gonna go out for drink or what?" And he answered so fast I barely had time to finish my sentence. The rest is history.

Thank You! I love our story so much

My FH and I met online, he thought I was a robot because according to him he had just created his profile and I messaged him too quickly lol - I was honestly debating messaging him, after dating around with no luck for awhile. I told myself "If things don't work out with this one, I'm taking a break for awhile" and here we are almost 7 years later, and will be getting married on our 8 year anniversary.

Love at first sight was the opposite of what our meeting was. He spilled his coffee all over me completely ruining my audition. I shouted at him and remembered his evil face for almost 10 years until I got this new role. Unfortunately, I walked in and realized I had to work with the smug buffoon who ruined my audition. And he turned the thermostat super cold and that was infuriating. At some point we started being nicer to each other and it led to dating.
