[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 127386, member: 2459"] If you ask husband, he'll tell you that it was either marry me or lose me. We had had a conversation within a week or so of when we decided to get married. I had basically said that at that point in my life I didn't want to waste 4 or five years on a relationship that wasn't going anywhere. (I was all of 23 3/4) husband had been married twice before but neither one made it to a year. First one lasted all of about 6 months and the other was just under a year. We had started dating just after Thanksgiving of 93 but never had an "official" first date. He hit on me in the bar I was waitressing in but couldn't get me to give up my number so he gave me his. I finally remembered to call him about a week later and decided that he would meet me at the bar one night that I was working. After I got off work that night we went for breakfast, talked and pretty much spent every spare minute together after that. We moved in together within about a month and a half and at the 6 1/2 month mark or so, we were talking about what to do with some extra money we had. He worked for Breyers at the time (I married the Good-Humor man! LOL) and the company had been bought out. For some reason, everyone got their 401(k) money and instead of reinvesting it, we spent it. After we got it, he turned to me one day and said that he wanted to go get our rings. Um....ok. So we went to the jewelry store, picked out rings and then went to work! LOL (We both worked second shift at the time) We got married a year later, almost to the day. Twelve and a half years later, we're still here! [/QUOTE]
