In our high school Library

I met my husband from a Newsday single's ad that I put in. We are now married 25 years.

The old fashioned way -- waiting on line to get into a Jewish singles party at the Red Zone on Christmas Eve. Happy anniversary to your whole family!!

After my first wife past away, I went on Eharmony.com and Match.com. I went on a couple of dates, but I felt like a fish out of water. I was not really ready to expose my life for all the world to read online. I did realize though, that this seemed to be the wave of the future to meet your next significant other, so I participated. I am thrilled that I did not have to continue for any length of time, I do not know if I could have kept doing it. It was great that I had met Rona the REAL "old fashioned way" , from my neighborhood and in person.

Alison and I met on a blind date on 9/11/68.6 We each went home and told our parents that we had just met the person we were going to marry. Jeff Crowther

Donna Levine wrote I met my now husband of 34 years while in law school and engaged to another man at the time. Joe had written the "Law REVEU" (the spoff) and they needed a women to yell a profanity in front of all the professors etc. Guess who was called upon to do that? Its been happily ever after since

Prison.

I met my husband while on vacation at Disney World...imagine that. Our story just keeps getting better. Judie Moceri (I want to hear more from Don B) :)

I met my wife while we both had summer jobs in Gertz while in college. We each thought it was a summertime thing as we were returning to different schools. Now married 33 year.

In the kindergarten play. Though we didn't actually start dating until high school :)

from Riva: I met Alan while I was still in high school, I was dating his friend, but liked Alan better!! Married 38 years

Shelly and I met for a blind date; I picked her up for drinks on a Thursday eve, May 10, 1984 at the bar my then softball buddies and I would hang at off Hillside Avenue and Lakeville Road in New Hyde Park.
The back story is that when she was a teen Shelly sat for a couple I knew from my political and community involvement; they had to give me her number several times because I misplaced it. Herb & Rhoda Dornfest lived across the street from Shelly and her parents (and sister) in Glen Oaks.
I took Shelly to The Bottom line that Saturday eve to see "Leader of The Pack" (which later ran on Broadway).
On Friday I wanted to cancel the blind date I had scheduled for Sunday but felt obligated; it was weird Sunday eve knowing I already was locked in with my soul mate and I went through the motions (hopefully not communicating it).
The following Friday (May 18) was the Annual Dinner of my Democratic Club -- the honoree was the then Governor's wife (and thus the mom of the current one). I was club president and since it was the "turn" of my dad and stepmom to attend as my guests at my table, mom bought her own ticket to the dinner so she can check out her future daughter-in-law.
The following weekend Shelly joined me for my then annual Memorial Day weekend jaunt to Grandma Evelyn's Southold home (by that weekend she was at the summer home she shared with Aunt Edie on the Sound). The last weekend Sunday that June (30) I proposed before I left for Softball on the front porch of my Glen Oaks apartment; I gave her a ring from my that was my late Grandma Jean (Interestingly when my mom told Shelly that my Grandma lived her last months at an apartment around the corner from where Shelly lived with her parents, Shelly realized she use to stop and talk to her on her walk home from the bus stop and that Grandma would talk me up to her; Grandma used to mention a girl to me; obviously Shelly. After softball the following Sunday (July 7) I ordered a ring at Fortunoff's.
We bought an apartment that we took possession of on New Year's Day 1985.
We married that March 24. Been together three decades and will be married that long next Spring.

I'm really enjoying reading all of these stories. Although, I'm still waiting for Donald to elaborate.

Double digit comments -- impressive!

I just want Don to admit if he was playing the guard or if his wife was playing the guard :) My wife and I met bartending together.

I met my husband at a weekly West Coast Swing dance. We had danced at the same country dance club years before; but never met. Sometimes in the middle of ordinary life, love gives you a fairytale.

And btw, all the guys on my softball team are in their 20's and Tinder is insane.
