How did you meet your partner?

[StephenHawkingsRollerskat]

A disco for people with additional learning needs. We were both support workers. Clocked him straight away. About 2-3 months of swooning and some pleasantries exchanged, I finally plucked up the courage to ask my friend to ask if he was single. The rest is history!

On a dance floor. He was with my friends boyfriend - he walked up and kissed me and I kissed him back. I’d like to say we were young beautiful 20-somethings but no, we were early 40s and I’m sure everyone around us thought it was totally grim It was instant infatuation and he is without doubt the love of my life.

I met my husband in 1999 using a online chat called ICQ. We've been together ever since and married for almost 12 years.

I met my partner at a Holiday Inn where we both worked, him on the bar and me in the restaurant. I was 17 and he was 21, I instantly knew that we were made for each other, 8 years later and going strong. We aren’t engaged (not our style), we have decided to get married by eloping on our 10 year anniversary in 2022

The people saying we're not engaged by plan to elope, is that not pretty much the same thing or am I being dense?!

You could get engaged but still elope to actually get married instead of having a ‘normal’ wedding but you could equally not get engaged, decide to get married instead and plan a ‘normal’ wedding

But your still planning and intending on marrying that person, be it in a convential wedding or an elopement, so to me it's the same thing?! Not being judgemental just wondered if I was missing something

I guess the difference for me is I am not engaged as I have no engagement ring and I don’t refer to my partner as a fiancé etc.

Either way I hope you have a healthy and happy life together

Does it really matter? They’re happy doing what they’re doing.

Hubby and I were penpals in the days of long ago when people wrote letters.Imagine ! No whatsapp,no zoom ...but letters were good till we met up in person and the rest is history

 

[Lollypad]

Lived in the same uni halls but actually met on the first night out...I fancied his friend first
Lived together all of uni, got together in my final year. 18m of long distance, then got engaged 18m after that. Were meant to get married next Saturday but obvs that's not happening so next year it is!

 

[Selenophile]

I worked in a bar, saw him thought "mmm yum".
When I went to the side door for a break he followed me out and slapped my bum.
Boom.
It's been ten years, married seven, with two kids

 

[Silbee]

It's a very long story but basically I first saw him when he was ten and I was seven. I liked him so much. I spent the next eighteen years watching him from afar. When I finally came within his sights he asked me out and seven weeks later he asked me to marry him.

Six months after that we were married for a very happy twenty-nine years until leukemia challenged him to a dual that he inevitably lost even though he battled it out for eight and half years...

Sending love. I'm sorry to hear he passed. You have a beautiful story
