Romantic stories? How did you meet your husband?

[SmallGreens]

I'm just wanting to read some nice stories.

I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar...

😆 Sorry couldn't resist!

He was my big brother's best mate & I was the irritating little sister but one day we just got talking & that was it! 😁

At work. It was his first day in a different team, we had a joint mid morning meeting and sat opposite each other and checked each other out. Went for lunch together after the meeting and he invited me to after work drinks. Been together 17 years, 3 kids.

His best mate was shagging my best mate, proper romantic. 😂

In September 2007 I had to get 2 buses to work and 2 back. On the return trip I was feeling rough, hated my job, was bored silly, single and living alone, dreading going back to my flat with nothing but a boring pile of bills to greet me.

The bus pulled up and after spotting the driver I thought OMG he's gorgeous!

We got to the terminal, I waited until all the other passengers were off then started chatting up the driver! In no time at all he persuaded me to quit my boring job and become a route learner on the buses and we officially married in February 2011! I was 42, he was 46, neither of us had kids by choice and it was the 1st marriage for us both in a Reg Office! We've now 59 and he'll be 63 in August and still very happily married!

At work, we were friends for about 8 years, mixing in the same circles. Periodically going out for lunch, buying little Xmas gifts. Timing was always off for us, when one was single the other wasn't. About 10 years ago our mutual friend drunkenly said when are you two ever going to get together & everyone cheered. Married for 11 years, friends for nearly 20. He proposed to me on my birthday cake. The cake maker was really excited apparently as no one had ever asked her to do it before. I opened it to the words will you marry me & he got down on one knee. He was worth waiting for. X

We met at uni, at a department social and he was in a group of lads dressed as spice girls.

It was not love at first sight for me, but he's always insisted it was for him. Aww!

We met online. I'd been on the website for ten years and he'd only just joined. I was the first person to message him 😂

Our first date lasted from 7pm to 3am and we've been together ever since. Married five years now and we've just had our second child 🥰

She stuck her tongue down my throat in Jumpin' Jaks.

Sorry, somewhat lacking in romance!

I decided to take a break from my disastrous dating attempts, went out on a Friday night with a mixed group of friends ie male and female to the pubs in town. He was in another group of friends but as is usually the case someone from our group knew someone in his group. Whole group came together chatting and I realised I was in trouble just looking across the table at him. We've been married for 25 years together 28. He is my best friend, love of my life, romantic, rugby sized bloke with a very soft centre. He leaves love notes in the fridge, the children just roll their eyes.

We met at work. He was painfully shy. I'd just got out of a terrible marriage. We became friends. Would eat lunch together. Then we started meeting up at weekends and he taught me to cook (I was/am an awful cook lol). He helped with bits of DIY. He became my best friend. My dc adored him.

2 years passed and on my birthday he took me away to the seaside. He seemed really off and I got a bit short with him and demanded he told me wtf was wrong. Right there on a shitty rainy day on a beach in Devon with our huge umbrella and wellies on he told me he loved me, and he hoped one day I'd learn to love him too.

We've been together over 25 years now. I didn't need to learn to love him, I always did.

I was on a blind date (thank you older sister) at a Valentine’s Day dance and DH was there with another girl. Saw each other across the room. Got together the following week at a party. Been together nearly 60 years.

Just to add, said I love you at 1 month. Moved in together at 4 months. Engaged at 6 months and married a year after.

At a house party when we were 19

14 years and 2 kids later and still going strong ❤️

Met on a chatroom site 25 years ago, and have been together almost 24 years.

He was getting over his 1st ever girlfriend who had just dumped him, and I was looking for friends as my 1st bf had suffered a serious brain injury and no longer knew who I was (he died shortly after we started chatting online).

He apparently fell in love with me from the moment we 1st talked, but I didn't know that for almost a year, and at the time he said he would rather have me as a friend than not have me in his life at all. He confessed all this after nearly a year and then invited me to stay with him for a bit as I was still grieving, and I never left.

For me, it was a slow burn, friends first and then more.

i knew his mum , she worked at my daughters nursery, met in a mutual friends living room and got together six months later . That was 20 years ago .

Halls of residence at university, we had the same room number in different blocks so our rooms looked right in to each other.

It was love at first sight for me, and he took 2 terms longer. By the time we got together (age 19/20) we were best friends too.

Married 30 years this year, together 34. 3 dc all grown up, dd1 moved into her first owned flat today!

That is super sweet and lovely

On a motorcycle training scheme. Three weeks later we're engaged and eight months later married.

At a bar. We were both working in another country and had mutual friends and ended up all going to the same bar for after work drinks. He rocked up and ordered the cheapest homemade (like out in a bucket behind the building) alcohol on the menu, and I said, you really shouldn't drink that! And he said, it's fine, I'm British! (I'm not, we don't have the same drinking culture in my home country). And I laughed at him and told him he was an idiot. And the rest is history. We were actually friends first for a bit after meeting on this evening as we had lots of mutual friends before we started dating. We made the decision that we wanted to get married about 6 months later and started putting the wheels in motion for one of us to get a visa to go live in the other's country once our work there ended. That was 16 years ago.

First husband I met in the operatic society at university. Thought he was terribly snobbish at first then during our second production (The Mikado) we fell for each other. Married 4 years later for 24 years until he died aged 50. Second husband I met on tinder. Fell for each other immediately. Married 4 years later. Both retired and loving it.

Sent a text to the wrong number

We'd worked together for years but at different sites so didn't see much of each other but used to speak on the phone quite a lot and we would chat for ages. I'd always get so excited when I knew he was coming to our offices and spend ages getting ready in the morning then would get really nervous when he walked in and pretend to be busy or on the phone 😂 Then one works night out we were seated next to each and just talked all night long. It was like nobody else was there. He told me he loved me a few weeks later and that was that!

We met online! We'd both been single for nearly 10 years when we met in our mid-30s, in all that time I'd never liked anyone enough to make it past a third date, I fell in love with him the first night we met and we welcomed our first child in December last year 😊

We met online.

During our first date he told me that his grandad went on a date with his nan. That he went home and told his friend "I've just met the woman I'm going to marry." Guess what ...I went home and told my housemate the same thing. And we did marry. Now about to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary
