where did you meet your spouse?

Was introduced to Mrs. Tank by my oldest sister while they were both Jr's in HS. I had just gotten out of the Army and they played HS B-Ball, Softball, Volleyball against each other (My wife went to McCoullough, my sister to Oak Ridge).


Anyway - were throwing a party that weekend and my sister showed up and had Mrs. Tank in tow. I knew this girl was fine - but i also knew this girl was 17 y/o. I told her couldn't get involved with a 17 y/o girl. 2 weeks later I found that 17 is legal in Texas - long story short:


Married 10 1/2 years, 2 kids, 1 Great Life.


Life is Good

Yep!

And I'm only 38.
 
I picked my wife up in Cain & Ables on the Sunday after her sorority finished rush. I am pretty sure it was the day after UT played Mizzou adn there was that torental downpour that cased the game to be stopped.

Anyway, I asked her if she wanted a beer and she made me get her a double jack and coke in a tall glass. I was impressed. All those girls were already shitfaced so I I decided to join in. Around 2 I talked her into coming over to my house which was on 22nd at the time. When we got there, I finally got a look at her boobies...they were(are real) and fabulous.

I farted, loudly, while we were messing around - and told her it hurts if you hold it in.

She laughed. I knew she was a keeper

Anyway, she left the next mornring and I asked her to come over to wathc the cowboys play the bears since we were having a keg (I lived in an 8 bedroom house that is now an asian sorority house at 22nd and San Gabriel). SInce Many of my roomates dated her friends, they all dropped by.

Being the suave guy that I am, I burned my eyebrows while trying to lite a cigarette on a citronella candle.

Yet she still kept coming back.

Now we have been married 5 years and have a child. I could not be happier.
 
All I remember about the first time I saw her was walking behind a nice pair of dark blue shorts during summer band. It was her freshman year of high school and my sophomore year. We knew each other through school but were mainly just casual friends. Right before my senior year a friend of mine liked her older sister and talked me into going with him over to their Dad's apartment to go swimming with them. We wound up going out instead to Castle Golf and Games and then Maggie's Restaurant. Things kind of started there and we had an official date a few weeks after that. After graduating, I went up to Texas and the next year she went to SWT. We dated all through college and 6 years to the day of our first date we got married. We've been married for almost 14 years now.
 
Wife #1 - At a company picnic for March of Dimes. Married within a year. DIvorced within 3 years.

Wife #2 - a job interview. She hired me. Been with here for 10 years (and married for 2 years)

I still remember both of those moments like they were yesterday.
 
There was a party at the newly reconstructed Centennial Apartments. A friend had just won some Student Government election. I spent the whole night on my cell phone fighting with my at the time girlfriend. I only paused to get introduced to my current wife.

We started hanging out with each other for about the next year and a half. All of our mutual friends kept telling me how much she thought I was the bee's knees. We ended up getting drunk one night and dated for 4 years and been married almost one.
 
I appreciate you not pulling out your ******** detector.

And those were the words I kept hearing. Now that I think about it, I think they must have come straight off of her talking points she handed out to our mutual friends.
 
I met my wife for the first time at a party in West Campus in '96. Only spoke for a couple of minutes.

The first time we had an extended conversation, which is really when I consider "meeting" her, was at Bob Popular. Yes, Bob Popular.

My dance moves could not be stopped and neither could my ironclad ********. I was on fire.

We dated for 4 years and have been married for 3.5 years. She's one lucky lady.
 
I was trying to think of the name of that band the other day.

Bob Popular and Javelin Boot seem like they've been playing West Campus for 20 years.
 
Bob Popular is what Toulouse became on Sixth Street.

Toulouse, coincidentally, was the first bar I talked myself out of getting thrown out of at 17.
 
LHB tryouts in 1985. "Met " her several times that week meaning that I had to be reminded of her name more than once because she just wasn't registering on my radar screen! I could never remember her name and had to ask her just about everytime I saw her for a week.

Anyway, initially wasn't interested in that way, and in fact she and I became "buddies" just doing odd ball **** together like going to parties "alone together". My roommate even took her out once after I introduced him to her and maybe that's when I started noticing her bookish hotness. That lasted about a year and a half before I finally asked her on a real date and took her to see Chicago at the Erwin Center. Of course being the idiot that I am I didn't even try kissing her her that night even though there was an awkward moment back at my place after the show, and she still rags me about it every now and then.

In less than 2 months we will celebrate 14 years of marriage and have a nine year old ankel biter to show for it.
 
i like this thread a lot. not married but i thought i was going to marry 2 different girls at one time or another. great decision not to on both counts.
 
Well, thanks for all the responses. I found it very interesting. No two couples ever meet the same way. Thanks for making your posts detailed. The more details, the more interesting it is. And, it was an event that you will always remember.

I think my favorite ones were from TSW, Sgt, Gardner, TxEx90, ajax with honorable mention to orangeblooded and Go_.

I would describe it as "feel good" reading. I for one, like hearing people's stories that lead to their happiness and in a way sharing it with them in a way by reading the story that person told.

I think the moral of the thread is that you never know where you might meet that special someone that will someday marry you. It could be in elementary school only to see them again 20 years later and fall in love, it could be while you are on crutches, it could be at a dance lesson, it could be in school, work, or at a party, it could be at someone else's wedding, or it could be at Cain and Ables.

And the place or circumstance will always be sentimental to you forever. or as long as the marriage lasts.
 
Just saw this thread-
I met my wife in H.S. She was in town for her parent's class reunion. i threw some game at the swimming pool and we hung out for a weekend.
Fast forward 3 years and i run into her at the Union. i threw some more game and we end up dating for a semester. We broke up because, well, I used to party my *** off.
Fast forward another few years and I run into her again in a random west Texas town. We finally got it right and are expecting our first child in Nov.
 
Met this one girl, Rachael, through a mutual friend. I was her rebound, and we dated and just enjoyed each others company for several months. When we decided we would split up, she introduced me to a friend of hers, Heather. Heather and I were pretty much just **** buddies, and had our share of fun. Shortly after we split, her and Rachael introduced me to who would eventually be my wife. Nothing like having your ex girlfriends and **** buddies "recommend" you to their friends.
 
Lamar High School in Houston. We had some classes together and we had a few dates in our senior year. She hooked up with another guy and that was that. Then she went to Duke and I went to Texas. Some letters and so forth. Moved back to Houston in 74 and we dated until 77 when we got married on a 30 day notice to parents. Two boys, 22 and 19. Still together in West Unviversity Place. I practice law and she is a real estate agent. Been married a long time.
 
She was not my student, but I was a young teacher and she was a student. I met her again about four years later on 6th street....I was getting more education and she was finishing her under-grad at UT.
 
Club 'No Minors' in Houston, Texas.

For those of you that never lived in Houston, it is a neighborhood-type Mexican restaurant off of Westheimer. The sign on the door to the bar (which was separate from the restaurant) said 'No Minors' and hence a legend was born. Huge, huge UT hangout in the day (most nights out started there).

Remember to this day the first time I looked up and laid eyes on her. Luckily my buddy I was sitting with had gone to Memorial with her, although she was younger (in fact she was in her 5th year at UT); somehow she knew all my other buddies that were scattered through the bar at the time, yet we had never met.
