Thread Name: BS: How did you meet? When did you KNOW?
Subject: RE: BS: How did you meet? When did you KNOW?
It was the day before the start of my senior year in college. For him, it was the day before the start of his freshman year. Traditionally, the college has a big picnic on the quad the day before all classes start....a getting aquainted or re-aquainted kind of thing.
Being the somewhat non-social creature that I am, I squirmed and wiggled every which way to get out of going while my friend was doing her best to talk me into going.
He, being the non-social creature that he is only consented to go to the picnic when his roommate told him it would be the best food he was going to get to eat for the next semester.
My friend and I walked onto the quad and were mingling (a fate worse than death if you ask me) when I turned and caught eyes with the love of my life. I knew right then.
We spent the night talking. He expressed his love for nature, the environment and fishing.....I thought of a nearby lake that is absolutely lovely in the moonlight. We drove there...of course it had clouded over, it was dark as could be and even though I drove right up to the edge of the water, it was barely visable. He still teases me to this day about the lake that isn't there!
Later he told me that he called his mother that very night and told her that he had met the woman he was going to marry. :)
Two months later we were engaged (not to mention inseperable) and 7 months after that, we were married. That was July 13, 1991. :)
