As a single 22 year old I ate out at every opportunity. A small Mom & Pop place opened up down the street from me so I decided to try it out - when I walked in my "prince Vliant was the only person in the postage stamp dining area - thinking "wow! He's cute" I walked around the area pretending to looke for a place to sit. when he FINALLY got the hint he ask me to sit with him. He had just gotten out of the Navy and was letting his hair grow and becoming a hippie, which suited my hippie heart just fine. We would meet every evening after work to eat and talk until one evening the place was pretty packed and I invited him down to my apt and the rest, as they say is history - we met the last of Jan and married 4 months later - this coming June 3 will be 39 years. It hasn't always been easy but I wouldn't trade any of them for anything.
Our dd has a story nearly as interesting - while in college she moved into an old victorian house that was full of young people - before she moved in she had met all of the roomies but one guy - once moved in they met one evening and he said "you don't remember me, do you?". They had atteded church camp together for several though never ran in the same circles (his was the go to the fishing pond with other guys - hers was the social circle)and then later we attended the same church as his family when they were older - hadn't thought of them in years but once she moved in they danced around each other for about a year (she was recovering from a bad relationship) before they started dating - they dated for about a year and ended up going to Cozumel, Mexico to get married - they've been married for five years and seem very happy - fit each other well - and are expecting their first child in March -
I love hearing how everyone met - love the stories :)
