How did your parents meet? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Janice · 02-01-2006, 02:07 AM

My mother was 16. She had a sister who was 10 years older than her.

Her sister's husband had a friend who just happened to stop by for a visit too. That friend was my father. He was 28.

They were married a year later, when my mother was 17 and my father was 29.

They were married for 50 years, had four children and died two months apart.

It was fate.

In a bar.

My dad was the bartender at a bowling alley and my mom was too drunk to drive home, so he did. They're still happily married, so I guess you can find decent people in a bar. lol

In a grocery store... my dad was working there and he was 23 and my mom 17 and still in high school. They married 8 months later and I was born 13 months later. They will be married 19 years in June.

They met on a blind date their friend set up for them. My father proposed on the 2nd date and were married I think a year later in 1986. However, they divorced in 1997. I'm not too fond of blind dates

in high school. my mom was working on an art project in the hall and she was right next to where the gym was, and a basketball rolled out. so, of course my dad came out and got it. i don't know when they saw eachother after that, but my mom says to this day she wishes she chose the art project that was smaller and didn't require doing on such a big space, because then she never would have met my dad. but she says it is her fault for being stupid for marrying him.

My parents are high school sweethearts

They knew each other through classes in junior high, but didn't start dating until they ran in to each other at a party in high school. They got married in 1982 when my Mom was 18 and Dad was 19 (she was pregnant with me at that time).

~LadyJess~ · 02-01-2006, 12:45 PM

My parents met when they were sophomores in high school and started dating when they were juniors. They were the typical "high school" couple, football player and a cheerleader. After high school they took a break for about 2 years then go back together and married in 1981.

Jail.

Just kidding.

They met through mutual friends, a double date.

Jail came later that night.

My dad was a cop and was 25, and my mom was 19 and working at a gas station. My mom went out to her car and some drugged out guy was in the backseat of her car, and threatened to kill her with a knife. Somehow she was able to talk him out of doing anything crazy. She ended up calling the cops, and my dad was the one that got the call. Funny thing was that he was dating one of my mom's coworkers. The woman my mom worked with said, "Mark's too nice and I don't deserve him. Can you break it off for me?" So my mom basically did it for her. LOL she said she wanted him for herself anyway. The day he asked her out, 6 other guys had asked her out! She said nothing like that ever happened to her before, and most of the guys that asked her out she knew were losers. My dad asked her out. She was like, "Well um I don't know." He said, "Well I'm just asking you out, I didn't ask you to marry me." They've been married now for 24 years. A tale of the farmer's daughter marrying a city boy.

D.J. · 02-01-2006, 02:25 PM

Both of my parents were friends with this woman. She introduced my parents and they married 2 years later and I came 2 years after that. Needless to say, the mutual friend was a pathological liar.

Blind dates

MaydayMalonesGirl · 02-01-2006, 05:30 PM

In a bar, naturally. This fall down drunk friend of my dad's was hitting on my mom and my dad came over and apologized. I can't imagine what my parents were like when they were dating.
