Mr. Hokie and I met in an internet chatroom. We talked for about six months before we met in person. We met in person at VT on his birthday. Six months later I started attending VT and we've been inseperable ever since.

He proposed in the gazebo at the duck pond at Tech. (below)

We met at a little general store where I was working. He was married and I was dating some one else. He worked close by and we got to be friends but never crossed any lines.

We lost contact and years later met again during tournaments. He was divorced and shy, so I asked him out.
Twenty years later and here we are.

.......my husband and i met at a beatle concert at shea stadium in new york in 1965......he was 17...i was 15........we've been married for 34 and a half years now......smile

I guess I am obsessed,Adieu. I want to have that magic again.

It's okay. Throw what you like. As my mom used to tell me when I was a kid, "You have a one-track mind."

Luv the stories of meetings. So timely with V-day coming.

here's one for the books. i don't remember marrying hubby. i barely rememberly meeting him. i was highly dissociative at that time and i think he saved my life. i just have snapshot memories of the first five months. we met in november. my ex moved out and he moved in in november. i was divorced and engaged on the same day in december. we were married january 27, and i found out i was pregnant in feb. i "woke up" to a new life, and it was the best thing that could've happened.

i have this to say...in two years when we're married for 20 yrs., i want to have a ceremony. i've never had a wedding and don't remember going before the preacher with hubby (i have one snapshot pic in head, and he's not even in it). i want to have a small ceremony and "i" want to marry my hubby all over again. that would mean so much to me somehow. i'd say "i do" a million more times to this man. t and i were just talking about this saturday...my desire to choose to and marry again the man i love.

Well......it's really weird.....

I was separated from my ex-husband in December of 2002....and had just got out on my own, I was sitting at a girlfriend's before we went to Police Office, and Chris who is my BF, and my everything, was fixing her roommate's computer, I wasn't interested in guys at that point in time, and all I remembered were his socks....he had on a mismatched pair, one white and one black, or as he likes to say now, My Good Foot and my Evil foot.....

I bumped into him again over a year later, at the carshow that happens annually in the town I was living in at the time, he stopped by with his sister to borrow a garbage can to put a battery package in for the batteries in his digital camera. I thought his sister was his girlfriend, and lost interest, put him out of my mind and carried on with my job.

I bumped into him again in October of 2003, I was working at the local pub as a DJ's assistant....(Fridays was DJ night, and Saturdays was Karaoke), he was out playing pool with his dad and friend. Since things were pretty slow, he stopped and talked with me, bought me a drink, and we spent the whole night talking each other's ear off.....at this time, the girls in the pub were running a betting pool on whether or not he and I would get together. Anyway, he walked me home that night, ever the gentleman....again I wrote him off, sure that I had scared him off....

The next night I was hosting a show in another town, doing my job, when toward the end of my show, he walked through the doors.....which completely blew me away. Anyway, he asked me if he could drive me home, I talked to my bosses, one of which was freaking out, and they were fine with it.

Chris and I drove around all night....and talked.....then he tried to ask me out, and was so scared that I would say no, that he didn't quite ask, things just kinda happened......

He had originally planned to move to Edmonton, after working for a month doing Seismic, and I thought that I had lost my chance at happiness.......and I worried about it for quite sometime.

Three days before he left for up north, he asked me to move to Edmonton with him, and we've been together and inseparable ever since.......and we're going on our 2nd year in October.
