mine both worked as engineers in russia. They sat at desks positioned exactly one against the other, so they were facing each other. I guess after looking at each other for a while, they fell in love
awwweee


They're been happily married for 31 years

Mom & dad met in a bar here in Kentucky. He was a preppie city slicker and momma was a hot little country girl. They got married 6 months later.

Married 39 yrs and they have not killed each other (yet)!

My parents met when she was 15 and was the popcorn girl at a movie theatre that Dad was managing....he was 19. That was in 1953.
They were married 50 years when Dad passed...

My Mom and Dad went to highschool together but my MOm wasn't interested in my Dad at all. She liked his older brother. So Uncle Dale asked her out and when it came time for the date, my Dad was at the door. Why she still went out with him I can not imagine.
At any rate they will have been married 34 years next month so I guess it all worked out for the best.

My dad was a dashing young sailor - a Navy photographer. My mom was working in the newspaper/PR department at the base. He hounded her for months until she finally agreed to go out on a date.


They will celebrate their 34th anniversary this coming Sunday.

Susie, I hope your stomach gets to feeling better!

My mom was a waitress the summer that she met my dad and they met at the resort she worked at. Though with all the bad stuff that has gone on in my family through the years, I really wish they had never met at all!

My grandmother remembers when they first met. It was a 4th of July picnic during WWII, and I think it was one of the first times Dad's mother brought him out for everyone to see, since she was a single mother while Grandpa was in the war. They were both in strollers.
Went to the same school in a very small town. Dated throughout high school, except during football (Christmas) and track (Valentine's Day). Dad was a smart one.
Broke up for a while in college, but ended up together.
They were married for 35 years when Mom passed.

Dad always said, he married the only 10 he ever met. But I think he may have met another 10 now....

My parents were set up through mutual friends on a blind date.
