In honor of Valentine's Day, tell us your story about how you met your sweetie!
Apologies if anyone is singing the Love Boat theme song now.

Met at a church youth group car wash. I brought up my car, I was also in uniform, she liked my DUPA and my uniform. Kids got a real nice donation for the trip they were going on.
She still likes me in uniform and still likes my DUPA. Engaged 4 months after dating, married 6 months later.

She grabed my @$$ in the laundry room. OK, she was drinking and denied it until her roommate confirmed it.

Ours is so convoluted we just tell everyone we met at the museum. It alao sounds a lot more respectable than the truth.

Met while we were both in ROTC in college. He was an upperclassman and I was an underclassman--Officer/enlisted equivalents--I was scared of him and we did an Air Force recruiting trip together. Since that is what I do best I forgot to be scared of him and got into selling the USAF.
After the recruiting trip, ditched the rest of our classes--went out for lemonade at Bennigan's (that's all we could afford). We were talking marriage (to each other) by the end of the week. Engaged 4 months later, married 11 months after that. Been together since that first lemonade.
Our first official date was the library.

I actually have a pic taken about 30 mins after we first met.
My friend and roommate at the time was getting married. She and her family were old family friends. The day before the wedding, without telling me, she and her mom and two sisters came over to visit. I was sitting there on the couch, in a pair of gym shorts and a tank top, drinking coffee, reading the paper and looking like I just woke up--cause I had just work up.
Anyway, her nephew takes a pic of us talking. We were married 16 months later.

Met at work. First 'date' was when we watched the band I was in play a show one night and then we went out after that. The 10 year anniversary for that is coming up next Saturday.

We met at a Manufacturing Management Seminar series. We met the first night, but didn't really talk to each other until the 9th week or so. We chatted during our 15 minute breaks. On the last night (week 11!) he asked me out to dinner.
