    We met 5 years ago through friends. Really fancied each other but he had an on/off GF at the time so we never admitted it to each other. However we spoke every night on the phone for a couple hours and had funny little nicknames for each other. He became my best friend. Then I met my ex, he didn't like me having a close male friend so we cut contact. 

    Just over a year later we bumped into each other at the same pub. He was out for his sisters (one of my best friends & bridesmaid) birthday and I was out with my ex and friends. He was wasted (which he seemed to be most of the time towards the end of our relationship) and I decided to go and catch up with Chris. He was single and I was desperate to get out of that relationship. I struggled to leave my ex but a good friend reminded me that I couldn't stay with him to keep him happy, I have to think about my happiness.

    Soo I grew a set of balls and left him. Chris was there for me through it all and would collect me from work so I didn't have to bump into him. A couple months later we became official. A year later we traveled Europe in a Transit van and another year later he proposed (June this year) and now we have found out we are expecting a little one.

    And we lived happily ever after. The end :-) x

    Little one due on the 29th June 2011

    On the 31st of July 2012 I will become Emma McDonald...Wow!

    Turns out he has some 'eccentric' tastes, and that he was having trouble finding a woman who would accept this. I alos have an 'odd' side so we fit perfectly! But it took us 6 months of dating to be comfortable enough to confide in each other!

     come on - you must share!

    If I told you I'd have to kill you...

    OH added me on Facebook because we had loads of mutual friends and he figured we must know each other somehow. I looked at his page, thought he was hot, saw he had a girlfriend and gave up on the idea.

    About a year and a half later, some mutual friends were meant to play a one-off reunion gig (their band had split up years before) and I went along and met up with some old mates. The band had to cancel because the singer was ill and I didn't want to pay to go and see the other band that was on, I just wanted to catch up, but my mates persuaded me. Good thing they did, as it turns out.

    My now-fiance came over and introduced himself, and offered to buy me a drink. I thought he was lovely but I believed he had a girlfriend so said no, gave him the brush-off somewhat and left without saying goodbye.

    Then I went home and looked on Facebook and saw he was single. Asked around and found out they'd broken up a few months before. Kicked myself. Poked him. He sent me a message. We got together a week later.

    It turned out we were born in the same hospital, had loads of mutual friends and went out to the same places but had never met. He was living with someone I'd known for about ten years and it turned out one of his closest mates was one of my closest friends' teenage crush.

    And I have Facebook to thank for

    My family and I moved away from our hometown in 2007, there were no people my age in the area and I was desperately lonely.  I started going on this webcam chat website called Stickam and just talked to random people who would pop in and out of the room.  After a particularly annoying day at work I went online and began to rant about my job (Morrisons checkouts) and then OH came into the room!!!  At first I thought he was a girl because at the time he had super long hair and when he started speaking he was so posh I couldn't even make out what he was saying!  He kept trying to chip in with how his job at a cinema was annoying too.  We exchanged phone numbers and MSN addresses and talked everyday.

    It was totally friendship only, we had both just come out of bad relationships but our friendship grew stronger every day. In the end we were spending 6 hours on the phone everynight, he ended up with a £500 phone bill one month and his phone was cut off!  After talking for a while he said his sister lived in York and that we should meet up and I was really reluctant, I'd met someone online before and it didn't go too well but after a while I just thought what the hell, I have nothing to lose.  He told me he had feelings for me before we met up and I wasn't sure, I still wasn't sure how I felt about him.  When we met at the trainstation in 2007 it was like we were meant to be, we literally never stopped holding hands all day!  The next evening we went on a date to the cinema and he asked me out, I said I didn't want to go into a long distance relationship unless he could see a future living with me.  He promised me that he would move up here before my 18th birthday in April 2008, he moved up here on the 30th of March 2008 and we have been living together ever since!  We are getting married on November 15th, the exact date we started going out 3 years ago!

    I knew my OH'S brother for abut 5 years before i'd met OH, his bro used to go to uni near to where i live and we met in a pub one night and became really good friends, when my friend left uni he moved back to his parents in lincolnshire and started to look for a job. He ended up getting a job in cardiff and moved in with his brother and i was invited to go and stay with them as it had been ages since i had seen my friend.

    Now before going to stay with them i had gone out for the night for my birthday, and my friend called me up to say happy birthday and to say sorry for not being able to come to london to celebrate and during the conversation i ended up  having a 3 way chat with his brother ( i think some silly comment about my footie team was made ) so his brother took it upon himself to give me OH's number so i could finish giving him a telling of for the silly comment he made. Well me being very drunk decided to txt him.

     

    We ended up texting all night and for the following month until i went to see them both. He took the day off to come meet me from the station before my friend finished work and we pretty much got together  there and then. After leaving them on the monday morning (i went down on the fri) OH decided that he wanted to come to london so we could be together, so he went into work the next day handed in his notice and moved in with me in london and we have been together ever since.

     

    That was a little over 2 years ago, and we still get on as amazingly as we did on the first day we met. Except i now get to make the silly jokes about his footie team not doing as well as mine

  • Re: So how did we all....

    I had moved away from home to goto uni and got myself a job at the uni bar where he was my boss! once we got together we had to keep it a secret which was fun lol (relationships at work between management and staff wernt allowed) but eventually we told everyone, then five and a half years later we got married and have been married almost 6 months Big Smile

  • Re: So how did we all....

    I was working in a bar in my 1st year of uni and one of the girls there brought her brother in to meet me because she thought we would get on. I had a fella at the time so when he said hi I walked off and went to staff room for a fag lol.

    Anyway a year later I was out all day drinking and ended up passed out on the floor in halls of residence. Next thing I know this guy is stood over me askng If I am ok. We ended up chatting until 8am, I then had to stick around until 10am because SOMEONE had hidden my shoes in the freezer so I couldn't leave lol.

    We were in a club 2 weeks later and he pointed someone out saying 'that's my sisters fellas brother', I burst out laughing because I knew the guy too and said to him 'Is your sister so and so'. He just looked at me not believing I knew his sister so I had to call her off my phone to prove it lol. Suddenly we clicked that she had tried to set us up the year before. Also turns out we had a nother mutual friend who had also been telling him all about me and that we would be good together haha.

    Fate!

  • Re: So how did we all....

    Very unromantic.. Met him at the 24 hour garage in town in the middle of night.. Used to go up all the time to chat to him then he gave me his number and the rest is history.

    I already knew who he was but he didn't know me. He was in my Sister's year at school and his Dad was my Sister's English Teacher.

    I'd not long been in essex when i went through a bad break up with my then fiance of 7years. I was in two minds whether to stay in essex or go back to the lakes as yet another heart broken story. A girl from work kept going on at me to come out for drinks and eventually one night i caved in. Her then partner was the captain of a sunday football league team and all the players were out. They were all very welcoming, intrigued by a new face i suppose- but one really kept an eye out for me. We hit it off in an instant and spent the whole night chatting and having a laugh.. We swapped numbers and agreed to meet the following friday for dinner in London. I have to admit that after the first night i couldn't really remember what he'd looked like as i was a wee bit tipsy when we met! When i got off the train for our 'date' i was panicking wondering if he was as good looking as i remembered! I got to our meeting place and stood back slightly and rang his mobile. I couldn't stop smiling when i saw him reach for his phone and spin around looking for me- i was definately staying for dinner lol Bounce we had an absolutely fantastic night have been inseperable since and 3 years on and were still going strong and i couldn't imagine life without him!
