Knoxville Newlyweds

Hi!! My husband and I live in Knoxville, and we are hoping to meet some other Knoxville couples. We're in our twenties, and it's been hard to meet other couples our age since most are at a different stage in their life than we are. My husband has been deployed since April, and will be home soon. We love to meet new people, and hope to find some on here!!

Re: Knoxville Newlyweds

  • Hi, MKA! My husband and I have been experiencing the same thing.
    We just got married, but even when we were engaged we started noticing that it would be nice to have other married friends.

    It must be even harder with your husband deployed! When will he be home? 

  • Hi Jennifer!! It has been hard, but he will finally be home this month!! Have you found any good ways to meet local couples? It's very hard!!

  • It's great that he'll be home this month!! I'm sure that you are so excited. We haven't found any good ways to meet people yet. Our neighbors all have kids and we don't, so they don't really have the same interests or time to do things that we do. We even tried to find a cooking class or something like that, but Knoxville doesn't have much going on. This is what led me to the nest!
  • That's the exact same thing with us. Other friends we had before we got married are all single and interested in different things than we are, and the few couples we have met have kids and it just doesn't mesh. Knoxville really doesn't have much going on for youngish married couples who don't have kids.
  • My husband and I recently moved here and have found the same thing.  Is there a secret club or something?  Seems like it's quite hard to meet other married people without kids.  He's in school again and I'm working and acting, we're in our late 20's.
  • We have the same problem. I think it's because lots of people that live here have lived her all their lives and already have their set friends.

    We're military also, 28 and 31 with no kids, so I definitely feel your pain. I have made a few friends though a website called Meet Up, but it's hit or miss. This board is SO slow too - I think I've looked here like once in three months. 

    We should all do lunch or something!

  • I agree. It's very difficult to even know where to start to meet couples!! I've never tried that site, but I think I will. I have been tryin' to keep up with this, but it really is slow and you forget it's here at all.

    I agree, we should do lunch and meet up!

  • Lunch sounds great! Let's not pass up the opportunity... we need plans! What's a good day for you guys?
  • I think we'll be able to pick something after the New Year. It's so crazy around this time of year!! What part of Knoxville are ya'll in? We're in West, Farragut/Ball Camp area, but I can do lunch or dinner anywhere.

  • We live to the east of Knoxville, but can go anywhere. I love trying new places!
  • My husband and I are moving to Pigeon Forge in 2 weeks. I am soo excited but I know that I will know absolutely no one and our nearest family is 3 hours away. I would love to meet some married ladies, there aren't many twenty year old women out there that are in the same state of mind as my husband and I. No bar hoppin' for us! :)
