Where did you meet your DH?

As the title suggests...where did you meet your partner?

Also, if you don't mind a more personal one, how many times have you been married and what ages where you?

DH was going out with one of my friends. She was a bit of a tart who had 3 on the go at once, so I asked her if she wasn't bothered about him, could I move in on him! He was keen and 17 years later we are still married. He is my first husband and often introduce as such! It never hurts to keep them on their toes!

At college (very dull answer). We didn't start going out until we had both left though.
Just the one marriage - when I was 31 and he was 33. But actually we started going out 9 years before that!

In a bar near St Paul's Cathedral one Friday night - it was all lit up. I stumbled in one night and there he was doing air guitar to "Livin' On A Prayer".

First (and hopefully only!) marriage for both of us. Like Terry Wogan, he refers to me as the Present Mrs Gryffin. I was 30 and he was 33 when we got married.

In our first week at university - we were both 19. A person who was on the same corridor as me met him and another person in the medical queue and the four of us went to Pizzaland together .

We got engaged when we were 22 and got married when I was 23 and he was 24. Have been married for just over 8 years .

On a work-organised charity fancy dressed 3-legged pub crawl. I was dressed as Will Smith. He was dressed as Lara Croft. Seriously. Can't wait to be able to tell the grandkids that one!

It's both our first marriage, we're 29 and 37, married for 4 years.

visited a friend from Australia who worked as a bank nurse in Oxford . She rented our now dinning room from DH and told me she was sharing a room with a rather boring man (she obviously didnt push the right buttons as he is so not boring!.

When I walked in the house he came down the stairs and I thought, Hmm I'll have a bit more of that.

10 months later I packed in my job & house and left Holland for Oxford. That was over 8 years ago and we are nearly married for 3 years and still going strong
