  • When did you meet your H? February 24, 2007How did you meet him? Some friends and I had gone out to see an 80's cover band at a bar. We got there early, before the band and before it was really crowded. DH and his roommates were there. I casually mentioned to a friend that "The guy in the white hat was really cute." About 5 mins. later I went to the restroom. Little did I know my friend Whitney knew 2 of his roommates. She went over to say hi to them and told Gabe what I had said while I was in the bathroom. I came back and he walked over and said something to the effect of "Our friends are trying to hook us up grade school style." Haha - we hung out, talked and danced, and exchanged numbers at the end of the night. How soon after did you start dating? Met on a Saturday, went on our first date on Wednesday, and pretty much started hanging out regularly after that (several times a week.) At the end of March we had "the talk".How long had you been dating when you got engaged? About 3 weeks short of 2 years.How long was your engagement? 17 months. We got engaged in February 09, and I'm a teacher so I had my heart set on a summer wedding. I didn't think 6 months was long enough, since I knew our wedding was going to be huge. (We are both from unusually large families.) So we planned for the next summer.

  • When did you meet your H? Jan 2007

    How did you meet him? We met at a concert. I had sent out an e-mail to a bunch of friends, and one friend forwarded it to her friend that she knew loved this band.   Everyone thought we already knew each other, b/c we were friends with the same group of friends for 3-4 years.  But- I didn't meet him til the end of the night!  I almost left before the band we both liked came on b/c it was so smokey (before the total smoking ban was in place in Chicago).  I ended up driving him to his car that night.

    How soon after did you start dating?  We started dating the first weekend in May of 2007.  Our mutual friend had actually set him up with another one of her friends in between!

  • (formerly SAHM711) 

    When did you meet your H?  Started talking online December 17/19, 2008.

    How did you meet him?  On facebook.  As he'll tell you, I "stalked" him.  I had been trying online dating for about the millionth time that year with still no success, and I had just joined fb and was quickly addicted.  At that time it let you do a search for people with similar interests so I searched looking for a relationship.  When I found him he had a great smile, gorgeous eyes, and he said he was single but actively looking so I figured what the heck and sent him a message.  He relplied and the rest is history.

    How soon after did you start dating?  We talked on fb for about three weeks (since it was right around Christmas), and had our first live meeting/date on January 10, 2009.  An hour after we parted he texted me and said, "Is it next time yet?" 

    How long had you been dating when you got engaged?  One year and one week.  Got engaged January 16, 2010 - on my 40th bday.

    How long was your engagement? Five months and three weeks.  July 11, 2010.
