[QUOTE]FI and I met a few years before we started dating because we were in the same major in college (architecture). It was a close knit group, but I never thought twice about dating him until we went to Italy for a study abroad. We started dating in Florence, it was perfect. 6 years later we're still together (I wasn't sure we'd make it through the summer), and now we're planning a wedding!

Wow thats definately a nice place to date at. What does "Fl: stand for I'm assuming it means future lover but I'm not entirely sure. />.<'

[QUOTE]We met on Valentine's Day 2010 in his living room! His roommate and my roommate were dating and invited me to hang out with them at his place. He walked out out his bed room and gasped when he saw me. It was really sweet because he canceled his plans with his friends to hang out with me all night. We've been together ever since!

[QUOTE]we met on Facebook!! in the summer of 2008 we both joined a Facebook group for our college. I posted saying my program and asking if anyone else was taking it. My fiance, and a few others, said they were so I added them all. We talked online through the summer and met in person when we volunteered in the campus gardens. We went to see a movie together on October 28, 2008 and are getting married exactly 4 years after that:)

[QUOTE]I met my FI online and we only talked for a few days before we actually met up. His bestfriend/roommate at the time actually saw my profile first and told FI he was going to "punch him" if he didn't message me. (Awesome friend, I know, haha). I actually just found out a few months ago that FI was contemplating not talking to me after our initial meeting because, apparently, I "came on too strong." Whatever, that's how I do things. :) And he's glad he did.

[QUOTE]Three years ago he sent me a message on OKCupid.com. We talked for about three weeks and found out that we actually grew up in the same town and knew some of the same people. We decided to meet up at a local pub for dinner and drinks and we ended up talking for over four hours. We've been together ever since and he proposed to me at that same pub. :)

Match.com! We met up at a brewery and talked from 7pm until they kicked us out at 2:30 am, then we did the exact same thing the next night! I knew I had found the one when I literally had to be kicked out of a restaurant to stop our conversation

6 months later he asked me to move in, and 8 months after that he proposed! He's the man of my dreams

</div><div>We technically first met when my FI's brother married my friend. I was a bridesmaid. We danced twice, but since he was visiting from France and didn't speak English, we never saw each other again. 2 years later he moved to the states and joined my same church congregation. Never spoke. 1 year after that he sent me a friend request on Facebook...yup, good old Facebook. I accepted and he started to chat. I was shocked he could speak! Within 4 days he told me he liked me & within 2 months we were dating. 1 yr 2 months later engaged and 9 months from then we'll be married. 50 days left!</div>

We went to kindergarden together up to gr 3 and then my family moved. Then we had a grd 10 english class toether and he sat infront of me

. We were both to shy to so anything about our crushes so it was 3 years later before we went on our first date but its 2 and a half years later and we are (fingerscrossed) getting married in november

ChristineNB · March 2012

Craigslist. I posted the ad as I just wasn't finding quite what I was looking for in men IRL. I got tons of messages, and one of them was fiance. I liked his message because he sounded down to earth. We messaged/called for a couple weeks and then met at a coffee shop near his house. 3 1/2 years later we're getting married.

Oh and FYI it totally was not love at first sight. I thought he was too dark skinned (all of my past boyfriends had been Irish, he's Italian). he thought I was to small for his taste (I'm 5'0 95lbs). Somehow we fell in love anyway.

He was my brothers best friend since back in the mid 80's! My brother and I shared an aptartment at the time, our place was the "party place", so we saw each other a lot!

Smashleyk · March 2012

We met at my then boyfriends house ''partying" when I had just turned 17...we got snowed in while everyone at the party left to get drugs (which we weren't doing) we completely hit it off like we'd been friends forever! ..the next weekend he came over to my house and partied it up again! Needless to say we've been inseparable since...Tomorrow is our 5 year anniversary!

We met in class in the theatre department in college. He said he would never date an actress and I said I would never date in my department. Not to mention I was just getting out of a bad relationship and he was going on 4 years with his now ex. After drinking too much one night at a cast party I drunk-called him at 2AM and we've been together ever since!
