    Met him at a friends house we all hung out and partied there, he was not one of the regulars, I walked in the door, took one look at him and said to myself, I am going to marry him.

    We did, three months later.

    What an idiot!!!

    Mate ...

    If you're inquiring about how I met my husband, we met while I was wrapping up a babysitting gig. He was a friend of the husband's, and as soon as he walked in (with the husband), my little charge went all gaga upon seeing him! He performed little magic tricks for her, and produced a miniature book as a gift. He even brought flowers for the wife. I remember thinking about how gentle he was towards the little girl, and how he seemed to have a genuinely kind nature.

    When he learned that I lived just two blocks away, he decided to gallantly escort me home. It was late, he said (it was around 4:30 in the afternoon), and dangerous (since it was summer, there was still plenty of daylight). He walked me to my door, and made sure that I got in safely, then we talked at the door for an hour (he did ask for my phone number), and then we said our good-byes. He kissed my hand.

    ...

    Seven days and seven hours later, we decided to get married. We would have gotten married right away, but I wanted to be romantic, and get married on the anniversary of the day we first met. Which is exactly what happened, one year later.

    That was 26 years ago. You would be hard-pressed to find a more gentle soul than he.

    Marjorie, how sweet. I believe that is the sweetest, most romantic story I've heard.

    Merci, FHN - that's because it's about a really sweet guy.

    Whenever someone says that there is no such thing as love at first sight, I just shake my head and smile.
