We did the same KBear! We went away with our lifeguard club, he gave me a lift home from the minibus and has never been home since .

Daisybelle · 20/03/2007 20:53

Not me but a good friend, met her dh in the January, was pg by the end of February, 3 ds and 17 years later, still going strong! Another friend was seeing a guy on Valentines last year, split up with him and met and married someone else by September!

I virtually moved in with dh after 2 dates, but we didn't get married for 2 1/2 years after that!

expatinscotland · 20/03/2007 20:55

DH and I married about six weeks after we met.

We're still going strong 5 years and two DDs later!

My mother's father spied my grandmother across a dance hall (1939). She'd come with his sister, as she was working as a French tutor in the same grand house where his sister was one of the cooks.

He said to his pals, 'See that lady in the cherry print dress? I'm going to marry her. See you all later, I'm going to go ask my wife to dance.'

They married 3 months later, had two girls and were happy for the next 44 years till he died in 1983 a month after their anniversary to the day.

ImaWurzel · 20/03/2007 20:58

Ah bless. that's lovely.

expatinscotland · 20/03/2007 21:00

An academic was telling me about a famous composer - whose name escapes me - who also saw his future wife at a ball, said, 'I'm going to marry her' and, a few months later, he did!

Very happily for many years till death did them part.

indiajane · 20/03/2007 21:02

I met my dh on Nov 08 in 97, we married in July and our DD1 was born (10 weeks prem) on Nov 5, so all in all, 3 days under a year!!

Ok, so then we divorced in May 02.... but got back together in Oct 05...

Not sure what consitutes an anniversary anymore!!

issyissyissy · 20/03/2007 21:07

I went on first date with my dh in May 2000 and never really left and moved in officially by July 2000. Turns out our mums were in hospital together having us and our lives have intertwined ever since without each knowing the other. I.E. at same parties, in same pubs and he was friends with my brother for a while in our teens. now married with 2 dc.

expat your gp story lovely

expatinscotland · 20/03/2007 21:14

I asked him once, 'Papi, what if you'd met her and she was horrid?' He said, 'Well of course I wouldn't have married her, but I just knew she wouldn't be, and so I asked her to dance (I must admit, as the eldest boy in a family that included 9 sisters, he was an amazing dancer for all the practice he got) and then we got to talking and the more I talked to her, the more I knew I was right!'

Of course, her first thought was 'He was so light on his feet, and so Latin and dark, I thought he was gorgeous!'

But then it became very obvious soon that he was a very good man.

MamaG · 20/03/2007 21:16

Sooo yum

story about my grandparents.

Grandma was v v ill when she had her DS (my dad, her first c hild) and my Grandad had to look after him at home on his own for 6 weeks while GRandma was in hospital

Always makes me melt to think of my Sargeant Major Grandad with a newborn

RedLorryYellowLorry · 20/03/2007 21:22

I met dh initially in August (Bank Holiday) 1996. We didn't hit it off as accordngly to him I was "gobby" - the truth was he had a sense of humour failure . In October 1999 we met again and hit it off this time. In January 2000 I found out I was pregnant and in May 2000 he moved in and we started house hunting. It was a busy 2000 - we married in July, moved into our house in August and dd was born in October. A very busy 12 months. We're still together and have 2 children now

Nikki76 · 20/03/2007 21:22

I met my DH at uni....started going out, then two weeks later we got married in total secret - didn't tell either sets of family.....

Nine years later, we are still going strong (espec when he buys me choc!!) and have lovely DS to show for it

expatinscotland · 20/03/2007 23:40

We eloped, too.

Flamesparrow · 20/03/2007 23:43
