How did you meet your partner

[*Elle*]

WOW there are some lovely heartwarming stories in here, Abs your story is so beautiful, as is yours odette I had to laugh when you said that DH said he was going to marry you in prep and you clobbered him oh how funny and so so sweet to boot.

The first time I layed eyes on my DH was at my house, I had gotten home from work and he was sitting outside with my younger bro and some other friends in the pool, I went out and said hi and then sat inside watching him through the blinds in our dining room he was absoluty gorgeous with a 6 pack and all I couldnt take my eyes off him,

I asked my bro who he was he told me to keep my hands off LOL so I left it at that,

A few moths later I started seeing a guy who was the older brother of my bros best mate and he happened to be the best mate of my now DH, Jeff and I hit it off instantly to the point it drove Steve crazy ( my then BF ) We use to sit up chatting all night while Steve went to bed as he was pretty boring LOL,

Steve and I broke up after about 5 months and I didnt see Jeff agian as he was steves friend,

almost a year went by and I went to a friends place for a few drinks and Jeff was there and unfortunatley so was steve and he wouldnt leave me alone, Steve asked me for a lift home after telling everyone he could have me if he wanted me hmmm I dont think so hahaha and I asked Jeff to come along for pretection,

We dropped steve off and went back to our mutual friends house where Jeff decided to show off with encouragement from a few drunk mates he decided to climb a brick wall 2 stories up and he fell down, and landed on his bum,

he couldnt get up so the mum of where we were rushed him in to hospital ( in the back of a ute mind you and we were in the city hmmmm ) and I followed in my car as I had not been drinking, I sat at the hospital for most of the night until I knew he was ok,
He had broken his back and was going to be in for quite a few days,

I then started sitting at the hospital with him for hours and hours a day every day instead of going to college *tut tut tut* then when it was time for him to go home I begged my mum to let him stay with us as his family were in the country and he didnt want to go there and she finaly caved and said ok,

We were still only friends at this point, After he moved in it was only a matter of a few weeks and we were together and he never went home LOL,

my mum said he had no choice but to stay with us and he had a broken back so he couldnt run away and I had my heart set on him so there was no escaping LMAO , I fell pg with our ds 4 months after we got together,

that was in Feb 2000 and we married in Nov 2002.

We have had our ups and downs but I beleive in fate and I know we are just meant to be as we have gotten through some pretty tough things and here we are 7 and a half years later very happily married and very much in love, everything is the way it should be, and he is the only man I would marry even if I could change things I wouldnt, we now have 2 gorgeous children and another on the way and life is great.

We both worked for Coles as check-out "chicks". Started flirting when we were in side-by-side registers round about October/November. LOL hooked up at that year's christmas party, and I called him the next day, as I didn't think he'd call (obviously I was new to this!). His excuse was that he was doing the dishes. It went from there. Engaged in Feb '06, married Mar '07.
