    Met my girlfriend/love of my life saving for a ring so I can ask her to be my wife, racing quads. There is a racing series down here and met her at a track. We got to talking, she moved here, and thats that. Never thought racing a quad would bring me so much happiness!

    I came home from my deployment to Iraq, and went to the school my mom worked at to thank the kids for sending letters and care packages.. I saw my wife in the crowd, and wanted to persoanlly go thank her class.. well little did I know she stopped by the office and asked the receptioness to make sure i stopped in and thanked her class personally.

    we talked, went out that night and spent the next two weeks with each other.. she came to visit me in NC and we and I went back to Texas to see her we got married after 4 months.

    thats what I am on. had a little bit of luck... but they ended up being psycho... just like my ex...
    LMAO :rofl:
    I have actually had better luck with the free sites than match or eharmony. I was kind of disappointed. glad it worked for someone though!

    there are more people here that met their wife/gf through the interwebz than i thought. i was kinda embarrassed to admit that I was on some of those sites.

It was spring break in college the one year I didnt go some where my neighbors and I threw a big ass party she knew someone who was dating my neighbor and he ended up hand cuffing me to her for a long period of time ;).................. That said and done worst day of my life she has been trying to domesticate me ever since haha not gonna happen!

    Met mine at work. I started my new job and shortly after she started there as well. She was brought around to get introduced, and after she left I commented to my co-workers that I thought she was hot...my co-worker then told me she just turned 19, and at the time I was 27 :( At first I didn't want to persue as I thought she was too young, but after spending time with/ around her I found her to be very mature, and sweet. 4 years later we were married :)

    Meet mine at the Hasir Tea Garden in Istanbul. Me and a buddy was passing the time having a beer while waiting for the bus to take us back to post. She came in with her sister and cousin. I walked up and said, "Merhaba". Twenty-four years later here we are. It was the best thing to ever happen to me.

    I met my wife at a my family reunion in rural Alabama. Since my aunt and uncle are both not very attractive I was quite surprised by how hot their daughter was (she even had all of her teeth)! We got to talking, went out a few times and decided to get married. We did have a little trouble finding a preacher willing to marry first cousins, but eventually found one. Now 5 years later we have 2 sons - one has 11 fingers; the doctors called this a birth defect, but I consider it more of a bonus (he will be able to count to 11 while his classmates can only count to 10). It just goes to show you never know where you will find love.:rolleyes:

    Met my wife in church. I couldn't stand anything about her. She would randomly call me and put her sister on the phone to talk for her (very shy, she was 15). That went on for about 8 or 9 months and then one day she was behind me in church and I turned around and looked at her and went, "wow"...something happened and we have been together ever since. 4 years married and together for a little over 7 years. Never been happier!
