Weddingbee boards

I went with school and other. We met playing ping-pong in our college UC. We both came down with our roommates, and he and I had a connection of sorts right off, tho nothing came of it for a while. My BF at the time was with me that day, and HATED my FH, for no real reason. Guess he was right tho! :) And the neat part is one of my roommates who played ping-pong that day is still dating one of my FH's roommates that was there. Now if we can get the other 4 of them hooked up... :)

I checked church, school, and relative...

Our moms met first... they were seated near each other in a "Freshman Commissioning Ceremony" thing when we started college, and his mom overheard mine wonder about local churches. His parents lived in town, so they offered to caravan with us the next day to their church. I met him that Sunday, didn't think much about it (my mom apparently thought that I should go for him, though), and then kept going to church with him and his family, had my Western Civ class with him, etc. I started hanging out at his house (at first with his kid sister, then as an excuse to be near him) and then he finally asked me if I wanted to go see a movie "as friends." I think two or three weeks later we finally sat down and he admitted that he'd really like to be more than a friend. :)

We met at a school function.  Although I later learned that he eyed me earlier at a cafe near school and had done some facebook "research" before conveniently appearing at the same function that I attended on the day we met :)

I love reading about how people met--when you start thinking about all the things that have to come together at the right time to allow two people to meet and work well together, you realize it's such an amazing phenomenon when two people meet and fall in love!  

Thank you for starting this post, and for everyone's stories. 

We met at work.  He was shy and since I was the new kid in town (literally 2000 miles away from friends and family) I asked him out for dinner in attempt to make new friends...The rest is history ;)

We met online.  Gotta love eHarmony for bringing us together!

We met in college our freshman year when we lived in the same dorm, but we didn't start dating until 2 years later!

We met on a traffic stop, we're both in law enforcement. We had initially been introduced in the dispatch center and later i heard him pull over a car so I went over to back him up on the stop. We stood and talked for awhile with lights still flsahing, lol. I mentioned to him that I spend time on Myspace and low and behold, he sent me a message with his phone number and we talked for awhile then met for breakfast at 4:00 am. We became an official couple about a week after that and got married september 2008.

My office had a bet going for the last World Cup. Each employee drew two teams. I drew Italy and Tunisia. My Italian co-worker drew America and France. We decided since we'd drawn each other's countries we should watch the match together. My co-worker brought his roommate, who is now my FI, the the pub to watch the match with us :-).

p.s. Italy and the USA tied, 1-1. We've always considered that a bit ironic, as in real life we both 'scored' as well.

p.p.s. And we DID NOT plan it like this, but the first time the USA and Italian national teams will meet again will be our wedding day.

We met in the computer science lab at school... we were a match made in geek heaven!! :)

We met playing kickball as adults.  He had just moved to the area and joined with his coworker/roommate, and I joined with my roommates.  At the beginning of the season, I remember trying to talk to him and he sort of ignored me (he denies this, of course).  A few months later, I was sitting near him at a party and we finally ended up talking for awhile, and that was that.

We met in college while taking a summer session course in accounting.  Special circumstances had to happen for us to meet.  I had just completed my freshman year of college, and I had yet to take a break from school (took winter session).  I had already signed up for accounting, thinking I might consider majoring in business and it would help me get into the major.  I wanted to drop it to enjoy my summer and finally get a much needed break, but I was just too lazy and never got around to it.

My fiance had failed linguistics 101 and couldn't graduate on time that spring.  He needed to take one more elective course, and he chose accounting because his uncle advised him it would be helpful in the big world.  He added the class the day before summer session started.  Because he was late to join, he was randomly added to my group.  

A lot had to happen for us to meet, and I'm glad it did.
