Jessica: Thanks for telling your story. and it too is a romatic story on its own merits--because first you were friends before you were more--. And that makes it romatic--like it was supposed to be.
I am happy for you and thanks for sharing.

Well here goes get ready for a laugh...

DH was going out with one of my friends and I was going out with his friends.We all hung around together because DH and I have the same best friend(Randy). DH and his girlfriend broke up and I set him up with the rest of my friends then my boyfriend and I parted and 'Randy' begged me to go out with DH and at first I said no because his girlfriend was upset with me for setting him up on all those dates...then after her bantering how she'd get me back....I decided to get her back first (teenagers~we were so dramatic)

DH and I started dating, then.........~long story made short...I got pregnant, and here we are today. Not very romantic, is it?

well sounds like you 2 were meant to be too--and as for getting pregnant---a very old wise & 'proper' well standing member of her community told me once---

there is not them that do & them that don't....
There is them that get caught & them that don't...

besides---your still there together how many years later--(19?) so it must be the right place for you both. self evident by the upcoming nuptuals

Ya well, I had to make sure he was 'marriage material' first. I always used to tell him I only had a 20 year contract with him....maybe he believed it

yea, well, a girl DOES have to be sure after all---

well good !! My sister used to tell my girls that 'all the good people were born in april' (both girls were also born in April) so, for me, she added, "well all the good people were married in April as well---

Good for Ellie, is she getting excited yet??? and are you????

I :ding: all of these stories.....when mom gets home I'll go over for a coffee and I'll type up her story for her while she dictates to me....(I type fast).

Tamara , that was funny..........It worked.

Loz ,
Ok were waiting for the storys.

I forgot. Tomorrow I'll take T. Willy with me so he can hear her story while I type it up.

Do you think he will take her side ?

It is good for a laugh..

I'm at work and need a good laugh barb.

Hd wants the computer.....I have to think first.
Might burn up the brain.
Hope cindy feels better this morning

Chicken.

:ding:

I have to think first.. Doesnt come natural to me to speak..

You can do it Barb, I'd like to hear it too!

:ding: :ding:




I have to start this out sweetly.
Here is my 50c amaryllis I bought , remember I had 3. Only 2 are blooming , but 2 out of 3 aren't bad.

Now once upon a time, there was a lovely single lady by choice, who ran around in a single new shiny gren metallic convertible. Never had thoughts of matrimony in mind at all.
Not a worry in the world. One day her brother brought home this fellow from the air force . I had no knowledge of at all. He kept coming to the house with my brother. So one day my lady friend and I wanted to play a trick on them 2. Our 2 large dogs were out at the neighbors, and I picked them up put them in my car. Closed the top and went home. The guys were in the barn and we went in and told them we had 2 girls out in the car who wanted to meet them. They flew out there, Opened the doors an out jumped our 2 dogs.......

I guess that started the romance and we were friends from there on.. LOL

We did have a good time. I had a large green convertible and he had a small MGB that he brought home from the service.....We both had conv. and were the talk of the neighborhood..
Can't say he chased me for my convertible, or vise versa.



And were still together...Only now we switched to 4 wheelers and motorcycles.


How is that Girls? Graphic/

that is a great story, barb--kinda funny too-- --see it wasn't so hard once you started now was it??
Thanks you so much for sharing.

Great story Barb! Thanks for sharing it!!!

Love it Barb.....you've always had your good sense of humor I see.

okay here's two for you

my hubby I have now I met on the computer. I meet him on a parking lot at a locale restarnt. (You know they say be safe and all)...so we go out talk some ride around and when he let me out I'm thinking...well I'll never see him again. haha.

now the first one, well I needed a date for the prom, you know, I had no regular boy friend and wanted someone no one at school knew, so I ask my cousin to fix me up with someone he knew so he does, the guy says yeah sure (it was a no strings attached deal, no getting serious) so a week before my prom he calls says he's started dating this girl and they're getting serious and that he'll find me another date. I'm not happy about it but I can see his point (and later he did marry this girl) So I got one week til prom date time a fantistic dress, nice shoes and no date.

My brother comes in from work (he, my cousin and the guy who was suppose to be my date all worked togather) and he's laughing his butt off. I said what's so funny, he says they are calling Don (the suppose to have been date) "Flash Card Don" I said and why? "Because he's passing your picture around like a flash card.

So later that night (the 1st hubby) calls and we talk and he agrees to meet me. And so we meet and go out and then he tells me he'll take me to my prom and then tells me he was scared to death to meet me because he figured my cousin and Don was pulling a joke on him, because he'd not seen anyone who looked that good in a sr. picture and look the same in person.

Thanks LOz,Junigirl,plant q...

I didnt have thoughts of matrimony in my mind......One day a man came around selling Wearever pie pans and stuff.. He said they were for my hope chest.

I said "I have no hope in my Chest". He turned around and said , Your so Naive.

LOL
That was the neighbor girls sending him by for laughs.

I second that. I was married in April the first time - only lasted 17 years.

Great story dodge. how long have you two been together?

Here's my story:

I went out with my friend Barbra as it was her birthday, she took me to the Ritz which I didn't like...it's a Ballroom, and I can't Ballroom dance. I was standing with my friend watching people dance and this man approached me and asked me to dance. I wasn't sure I wanted to dance with him, but my friend encouraged me. So we were doing a waltz and I kept stepping on his feet, then we went upstairs and had a chat. To cut a long story short, he decided to take me home which meant a taxi ride, which cost him an arm and a leg--the buses had stopped running after midnight.

I never did give him my phone number--he ended up getting ahold of my friend Barbra and getting my number from her. He called me to set up a date, and I didn't show up. I didn't particulary like him. So he called me again and I felt so bad that I showed up that time, and we kept passing each other because we couldn't recognize each other(the night we first met we'd had a few to drink)

A funny side note, Maurice told his friend Wilf that when they got to the Ritz he was going to dance with the first woman he laid eyes on that night. It just so happened to be me.

Also Maurice still has the piece of paper with my phone number on it. He likes to tell the kids that if it weren't for that piece of paper that they wouldn't be here today.

Maurice ......That is so cute.


How long have we been together,,,,,,,,,Since we got married..
