at work. I moved to a live in job in a hotel and he was a chef when I asked him back to my room for a coffee after work he said no as he thought I was a hussy. Soon changed his mind and after 3 weeks kept wishing he would ask me to marry him. Been together for almost 21 years and married just over 19 and have 3 little snowflakes together. And people gave us 6 months

I met him at the candy store, he turned around and smiled at me get the picture.......................... No not really, couldn't resist that!!! He was on leave from the RAF and we met in a pub. He asked me to write to him and the rest is history. We have been married 23 years and have 2 grown up children.

I was up a ladder in the shoe shop where I worked and he had come in (for the umpteenth time!) to see if we had his clogs in yet(white size 10!) Me being a bit lippy said if he didn't have such big feet he wouldn't have to keep coming back, he asked me out on a date and that was it!! Been together for 29yrs, married for 26 of them, 6 kids and 10 grandchildren (no.11 on the way!), must have been love?! Nanna-Moo ;-))

Well first time around it was on a blind date and we dated for 2 years. Move on 18 years and we met at a bus stop - have now been together 6 years and married 2 years ago. He was my first love and we'd never forgotten each other! I'm a great believer in fate but still can't believe it! Debby

He was a plumber and was clearing a blocked man-hole with drain rods. His labourer was the husband of a woman I worked with and walked home with. We stopped to talk to them and rest is history! On 29th Nov we celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary - oh yes, we were given six months as well!
