re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband in a bar and had no intention of ever dating him.  We danced, he asked for my number I gave it to him.  I was secretly hoping he wouldn't call and he didn't.  At least not when he said he would.  He called about 5 days later.  It was New Year's Eve and I was at a boring party and invited him.  We had a great time.  I never thought it would get serious because we were good drinking buddies, but it just did.  I can't even give you a timeline, because everything was a natural transition to datng to serioius and then to engaged and married.

I had given up dating because I was engaged a few years before and my then fiancee was sent to South Korea with the Army.  He apparently fell in love over there with a girl in his unit and called off the wedding a few months before it was to take place.  I had to hear this from his mother not him.  Anyhow, I dated after him, but then decided not too.  After a few months of not dating or even looking, there he was.  Now I am glad I gave him my number!!

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband on a night when I didn't even want to go out, and I CERTAINLY wasn't interested in meeting anyone. But a good friend of mine called, and practically begged me to come out, and I hadn't seen him in a while so I reluctantly agreed. I was going to make a brief appearance and get home early. However, that friend then introduced me to HIS friend, and to make a long story short, we felt a connection right from the start and I didn't get home until 5am. We've been together since that night (almost four years ago), and are about to celebrate our second wedding anniversary in June.

My advice is, don't stress about it. I went through years consciously looking for Mr. Right, and at the end all I had to show for it was a string of jerks. If you drive yourself crazy looking for him, you'll just cloud your judgment and end up making mistakes. Just relax: he'll show up when the time is right. And you'll know. :-)

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

(My humble advice is this: Keep the faith and be proactive... The Lord would not have placed the desire to marry in your heart, if He didn't intend to meet that wish. It's an honorable desire that very likely will come to be... but, it sounds as if you could be a little more open to giving some nice guys a chance now and then... "I'd rather wash my hair and knit a potholder than go on a date." Heck, free dinner never hurt a gal *wink* Go on  date now and then- I know, alot of them are losers, buuut, there's still a diamond in the rough just waiting to win your heart... On the other side of the coin> Just let go and stop worrying: what's to be will be! You know that saying> "When you know, you know"? Well, it's completely true. You know that saying> "When you're not looking, that's when love will knock on your door." Well, that one's true too.  I decided to spend my "single girl" time bettering myself and not even worrying about dating or any of that nonsense. I said- I know my dream man is out there, but I've got to live in the now... I wasn't even looking for a date, neither was my new (as of April 7, 2007) husband and we met working together and became the best of friends. We just had the best time together!... the rest is history!

<br><br>They met the evening of October 6th, 2005, when they both moved into the actor housing the night before rehearsal began for their latest theatre gig. Courtney’s first encounter with “Nick Suders” was him doing pull-ups on the door frame of her new room, as all their fellow actors huddled inside getting to know one another…Courtney’s first thoughts regarding Nick: “Why is he doing that??? What a goof.” Nick too had a bit of a challenge pinning down a first reading of Courtney, as she was- according to Nick- “buzzing around the room like a humming bird”-“I just remember a lot of energy coming from her direction!”<br><br> They dove into the flurry of rehearsals, becoming fast buddies, as they both shared a quirky sense of humor and a healthy enjoyment of performing David Caruso impressions during impromptu CSI investigations. Erin Caldwell, fellow actor and Court’s roomie at the theatre, enjoyed playing puppeteer and was a key player in their tale. She could be referred to as a “cosmopolitan yenta”… and a darn good friend. Toward the end of the rehearsal process, Nick was a smitten kitten and, well, Courtney definitely put him through the ringer. <br><br> Nick: “Winning Courtney’s affection was no easy task”

It was not until what Courtney refers to as a “rather lengthy evening chat on the porch” that she decided, “Oh, wow- He’s something really special, isn’t he? I’m gonna’ give this guy a chance!” Nick remembers that night with a gulp: “The Spanish Inquisition had nothing on this girl. It was a freakin’ 3 ½ hour interrogation!” Nevertheless, they both remember that night fondly as they each learned that never before had they ever met anyone who so completely embodied their ideals, their commitment to family and, most importantly, their spiritual beliefs and faith………<br><br>The Kissaversary……Their First Kiss is such a delightful tale that they don't want to flatten it out by trying to write the Cliff's Notes version here on this site- It's a lenghty tale. Let them suffice to say that they still laugh over various details. Nick shakes his head at not catching on sooner and Courtney still teases Nick for pretending to listen to metal, while we all know he didn't hear a single sound coming from those headphones *wink*.<br><br>They decided  to keep their budding romance on the “down-low”, as there was already more than enough drama in their profession. After the show opened, their first dance proved to be a real-true movie moment: As Courtney descended the staircase in her beautiful dress, Nick offered his hand and- they both agree- the rest of the world disappeared on that dance floor.

<br><br>The next monumental occasion was what Courtney and Nick refer to as *Autumnal Day*. As autumn peaked, the first Friday of November (the 4th), Nick had planned an exciting surprise excursion into the vibrant countryside of Pennsylvania. After playing at the apple orchard, enjoying their sparkling apple cider by the lake, and a ride in the paddle boat; Nick still had another surprise in store. That surprise landed them on the doorstep of his childhood home, where he- without the slightest trepidation- was ecstatic to introduce the newest most important person in his world to the most important people who brought him into the world in the first place- his parents: Robert and Prudence Suders.<br><br>They loved her. Of course. Nick didn’t stop there. He was anxious to bring Courtney into his family and, in turn, his family’s English traditions. First came his sister, Gwendolyn’s big Christmas bash, followed by Easter dinner. The Suders graciously invited Courtney to celebrate her 26th birthday over a huge meal and gifts. “I was overwhelmed- in a good way. His family was so unbelievably kind to me. They always made me feel so at-home and loved.”<br><br>

Nick was invited to attend Courtney’s Sister Brekke’s wedding. Shortly thereafter (January 6th), Nick took his first flight to Ohio, where it was Courtney’s turn to nearly drown Nick in her family’s love and charisma. “It was a bit of a shock to the system becoming accustomed to the rather boisterous energy of The Ell Clan- and to top it off, Courtney’s tales of her military brother, Bryce, protective father, and her brother-in-law with alleged ties to the Irish mob had me fearing for my life!”<br><br>“My family is incredibly important to me- we’re small in number, but we’re mighty in our loyalty- so, I was very curious to find out what they would think of him (outside of meeting him briefly after our show). He and my Dad hit it off like gangbusters! I was really amazed, as my Dad tends to be more reserved- you know- quiet, but deadly (ha, ha!). As my Mom told me- My Father and Nick are cut from the same cloth. By the time the reception rolled around, my Dad and Nick were chatting it up over glasses of wine.”<br><br> Everyone in Courtney’s life felt Nick was a really great guy- Even her high school study hall monitor and family friend, Mrs. Jones, bubbled when she spoke about “what a lovely young man he is!” She, of course, added with a *wink, wink, nudge, nudge* “how handsome he is too!”<br><br>The Ell Clan welcomed Nick into the family with open arms and- impressed- applauded his ability to “keep up” with not only the pace of the weekend and lightening-quick Ell humor, but his ability to “keep up” with Miss Courtney herself!<br><br>It would have been just another trip from NYC to Philly, but Nick had other plans. Courtney sat on the train grinning in her “play clothes”. Nick had requested she bring along her “prettiest dress” to her “big day of surprises”. Courtney was greeted on the platform by Nick and his mischievous grin. As she and Nick road the subway, Courtney excitedly told Nick that no matter how many guesses she made throughout the day, he was not to crack under any circumstances. The big day began. Nick had decided that instead of attempting to guess what Courtney’s pallet was in the mood for that day, he would offer her a taste of every cuisine. They went to Reading Terminal Market, where Courtney was overwhelmed by the Market’s vast array of culinary delights. They chose a small table outside that cool autumn day. After enjoying their meals, they were off to Naked Chocolate- a quaint chocolatiere shop, which Courtney refers to as “Chocolat”, after the movie. There, they enjoyed two demitess mugs of some very rich chocolate-Yum! Courtney obtained a petite spoon as a memento. Don’t worry, folks- she paid for it. Tummies, full of decadent sweets, they walked to Old City where Nick gave Court another “taste” of Philly in the form of a good old fashioned horse and buggy ride through the history-filled streets of Philadelphia. After they took pictures and fed the pony, it was time for a sampling of city life in Philly’s eclectic shopping district: South Street. In a faded art gallery, Nick noticed Courtney had her eye on something special. Having played Peter Pan twice and possessing an affinity for all things celestial, she could not pull her eyes away from the unique, star-flecked painting of Neverland. He snuck up behind her and whispered, “You want it?” She nodded an emphatic grin. They perused the unique shops. As afternoon turned into night, the rain came down. Hand-in-hand, they rushed to the sheltered warmth of the subway. At Nick’s apartment, they rested tired feet and cleaned up for the evening’s festivities. Nick said to Courtney, “Feel my heart!” It was racing a mile a minute- to which Courtney asked, “Why?” Nick excitedly retorted, “You’ll see!” Courtney had on her “prettiest dress” and Nick sported a sharp outfit he had purchased for this very occasion. As he drove toward Moshulu- the largest four-masted sailing ship in the world still afloat (and fine dining establishment)- Courtney recalled how she had daydreamed to Nick about how they would go there “…someday”. Secretly, Nick had been in cahoots with the Mashulu staff. They were seated at the finest spot on the ship, with a view of the water, bridge and  passing sailboats, all lit-up. The table itself was decked out with their favorite sparkling wine and sixteen yellow roses. Court’s favorite color is yellow and her favorite scent is rose. Nick brought yellow roses to all of her performances and still does to this day. When she saw their table, the view and all the special details, she turned to Nick with her eyes wide and her jaw nearly dragging on the floor in shock and delight. They enjoyed a mouth-watering meal and had a wonderful time talking and laughing, as they always do. After desert, Nick quietly asked the waiter if they could check out the view from atop the boat- the Moshulu staff had guaranteed the top of the deck would be clear. After briefly enjoying the ambiance, Nick couldn’t wait any longer: “This past year has been the most incredible time of my life.(long pause) You have been everything to me. You’ve been my co-worker. You’ve been my friend. You’ve been my confidant. You’ve been my love.(big, long pause) And, now, I’d like to ask you to be something else.(longer pause, as he knelt down on one knee and pulled out the small box) Courtney Ell, will you be my wife?” (Music swells, the Girl’s eyes glimmer as she answers, gracefully and daintily, tripping over her words…) “Oh! Oh, Yes. Yes!”

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I think the old addage is true, "sometimes you have to meet a few young people, to realize and appreciate the right one when you finally meet him." I met my DH during the summer. I was home from college (not by choice, my dad thought I need to have a real job compared to the camp job I had the previous summer) and had actually just got back into town from a wedding. An old family friend called and said he was having some people over for a cookout. I wasn't in the mood to socialize at all. My mother actually talked me in to going. I got there and knew no one but the host, but his roommate (my now DH) really intrigued me. The night went on and we talked the entire night. We had an amazing connection. At the time I was dating someone and he had been in a relationship for 4 years so I really wasn't thinking of him like that at all. But weeks went by and we talked on the phone every night. I told him that I thought if we ever got the chance to be together, I thought it would be great. Days after meeting him, I ended the relationship I was in and a few weeks later he did the same. We began dating 1 1/2 months after we met. That was the end of July. We went ring shopping a few months later, were engaged by February and married in August. It was a whirlwind. We were long distance the entire time we dated, but it was so much fun looking forward to the weekend. I spent more time on the road than I actually did at school,l but it was so worth it. I think that there are people out there you could be happy or even content with, but I believe there is one person you are meant for and I am so blessed to have found mine. Good luck in your search. I've always heard when you look so hard for something, you don't find it, but when you aren't looking at all, that's when life suprises you. At least that was the way it happened in my situation.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband in Las Vegas.  We always joke about how we had to go to Sin City to find Heaven (cheesy, I KNOW!)

I went out to Vegas on a whim with my roommate in college, an old friend from high school, and another friend from college.  I actually went because I was really mad at the guy I was dating at the time, and just wanted a break.  While we were out there, my friend from high schoool wanted to meet up with a group of guys she knew from Minneapolis.  So, we went out.  I saw this good looking guy at the far end of the bar almost as soon as we got into the club.  I pointed him out to my friend, and she said, "Oh!  That's my friend Andy!  I didn't know he was going to be here!"  Score one for me!  We left the club soon after (sinking heart), and he just happened to follow us out.  Seems he couldn't take his eyes off of one of us...we were pretty much inseparable that night, and the next, our last night out there.  It took all my courage to get his phone number from him, and even more to call him a couple of weeks later.  So much, in fact, that my roommate had to call him for me!!  I knew the night I met him that I was going to marry him.  Sometimes, it just happens like that.

I had been so unlucky in love before I met DH, that I was convinced it wasn't going to happen (I never saw myself actually getting married before I met him!!).

Maybe you should think about a trip to Sin City, just in case.  :o)

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

Hi Paula,

I actually met my now-husband in a bar.  Of course, the last place that you get told that you'll meet "the one" but it worked for us!!  I had sworn off guys due to all of the terrible dates I had been going on.  And my friend, who was in teh same boat as me, and I began reading "He's Just not that Into You", and it completely spoke to me.  I was "that girl" in every chapter of the book, it seemed.  So I decided that I would try out the ideas in the book (which are such common sense it makes you feel so stupid) on the next guy I went on a date with.  So the next time my friends and I went out, we were at a bar right up until closing time, and in walks this cute guy, in a light blue leisure suit with white platform shoes on, and he walked right up to me and started talking to me.  Of couse he doesn't remember any of this becasue he had been at a 70's themed engagement party for one of his friends, and had had PLENTY to drink.  We were dancing, and he was buying my drinks, and he asked for my number, and I gave it to him, with absolutely no intention of actually talking to him again!  But my friends and I left and he actually called the next day and apologized for being so crude the night before.  I played by "the rules" in my book, and it totally worked.  I tried to move slow, but after a few dates and a surprise trip back to his hometown for horse races, we were both smitten, and never left each other's side after that.  WE pretty much knew then.  It hits you without really HITTING you, it's just this feeling like it's right, and you don't want to be without him.  It really is a good feeling. :)  I guess the moral of the story is that first impressionsa re important, but they are not the only impressions, and they do not make the person.  I would've never talked to Scott again if I had not answered his call the next day, just thinking he was some drunk guy.  But giving him a "second chance" made all the difference.  We are now 8 months into our marriage, and my life would not be complete without him.  And, as cliche as it sounds, you will find "the one" at the least expected time, when you are not looking!  And I know you'll find te one too.  Good luck!!!!

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband on JDate.  I went online to cancel my membership b/c I had just gone out on my final horrible date (he was married!!). I decided this wasn't for me.  

I noticed that I had just gotten a message, wasn't going to read it, got a weird feeling in my gut, read it, looked up the profile, debated whether or not to write back, again came the feelnig in my gut.  I wrote back 4 words - tell me about yourself.  The next day I had a two page email and he sounded too good to be true.  We emailed back and forth that day, talked on the phone the next night for 3 hours.  I got off the phone knowing that this man was for me.  I tossed and turned all night.  The next, we met for coffee and that pretty much sealed it.  I called my mom and my friend and told them I just met the man I was going to marry.  We dated for 2 months, bought a house together and were engaged in 5 months.  Married 9 months after that.  

I had enough bad boyfriends to know exactly what I didn't want.  I was 29 when we met.  We had SO much in common and I could truly be my goofy self with him.  Its just a feeling you get - really an ease that overcomes you.  You realize that are a better person with them than without.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband five years ago at a Starbucks in Seattle.  How cliche is that?!?  He was from Florida, in town on business.  We hit it off immediately, and started up an intense long-distance relationship.  We got married three months later.  Neither of us had been looking for a relationship, but when it's right, it's right.  Don't panic about finding 'the one'.  When the right person comes along, you'll know.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

Back in 2002, I had a string of really bad luck with dating. To deal with it, I started writing and reading poetry at a bar that had open mic poetry on Monday nights. Russ was always there. He actually tried to talk to me once, but I blew him off, since I wasn't going to this poetry open mic to meet men. Fast forward a few years, I kept going to this poetry open mic. One day I ran into one of the other regulars at a coffee shop. He told me that Russ was really into me. And I was suddenly very interested in Russ. A few weeks later at poetry, Russ and I started talking again, he bought me a beer and asked me on a date. A year later we were married. I guess the old story of dating is true. Finding a hobby is a great way to meet someone.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband at a club in France when I was studying abroad.  I had no intention at all to maintain contact with him in a romantic way after he left France for mandatory military service and I returned to the states.  We barely spoke to each other after a few months of very casual dating in France.  We kept contact through sporadic friendly emails and post cards.  Then, 2 years after leaving France, while I was in grad school, I decided to go to France for a short vacation and see some friends.  He was the only one who had room for me, so I stayed with him.  Well, something was different then, and we fell in love.  We were married the next year.  He quit his job and moved to the US, learned English, and is now working on a Master's degree.  In any case, love seems to always find you when you aren't even looking...

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my soon-to-be-future husband at work! I have recently gone through a rough divorce. Chris started working with me in Nov 06 after debating on whether to take this job and leave the golf profession. Earlier in the year, I had been looking for another job and never found one..........now we both know why he took this job and I never left!!

I was currently married and he had inquired about me to our boss. After he found out that I was married, he didn't think anything more about me. I never thought anything of him. Well, at the time, I was in a very unhappy, unhealthy marriage that was coming to an end. On Dec 8th, it was our company Christmas party. We got picked up in limos, had a fancy dinner, and we so happened to sit next to each other at dinner. We had a great conversation the whole night. Instantly, we just became connected. However, we never noticed it, it was everyone else we work with that did.  I ended up leaving my marriage and Chris and I began to have phone conversations every night - all night long! At work on Dec 18th, we met for lunch, secretly. It was fun and very nerve wrecking for me. We went to the park and after he saw how nervous I was, he just kissed me. It was all over from there. He is the most incredible person I have ever met. He is the one I am supposed to be with. To make a long story short, it is now April 07 and we have bought a home together, still work together, and are planning to be married in Aug or Sept 08. I never thought I would find that one for me, that good man. But it's so true......when you are not looking and when you least expect it, he comes to you. I know things seemed so fast, but I have done my fair share of dating and know what I deserve and want. I can't express how much I love this man!! So, hang in there........he too will come to you when you least expect him!

Good Luck!

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

It seems everyone eventaully finds thier significant other just when they AREN'T looking for him/her. Haha.  

I met my husband WAYYY back in high school.  I thought i was the coolest thing since sliced bread and he was a quiet, shy, a little overweight (read - geek) guy in a grade below me.  I met him in a class we had together (art or something stupid like that) and then ran into him at a football game (SO CLICHE!) -- he was running the announcer's booth -- and talked the whole time. I made (yes, I told him, although I'm sure he wasn't opposed) him drive me home because he had the all-known coolest car in the school.  I had no intention of dating him -- just using him for free meals and rides in his cool car.  I was such a horrible person!  We spent every day together and eventually I fell for him.  The guy I thought was a "bad boy" turned out to be a big sweetheart.  We dated exclusively all through high school and college with no question and one day when I never even saw it coming he asked me to mary him.  Funny how it was no big deal... we just knew.  I didn't and would never even think of anyone else -- my DH is certainly the "coolest", although I'm sure I'm quite biased. Hahah.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

I met my husband in a college class. I'd been dating somoneone, he'd sworn off women, and we were just study partners. Or so we thought. We did our homework together for 9 months before I broke it off with the other guy and made the first move. I love that we met in college and that we were friends first. We moved in fast (2 months after dating - about a year from meeting) but we didn't get engaged until the 3 year mark (I was tapping my foot for sure!) We got married last July, on our 4th anniversary, and we're closing in on year 5 of being together.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

If you're ready to meet him and open to meeting him, you will meet him. I dated a few good guys who would have been husband material, but I always found something wrong with them and gave them back to the world. The truth is, I wasn't ready for it myself. Then, the last time I relocated for my job, I decided, this is the last time I will move to a new city by myself, this is the last home I will buy as a single woman. A year later, one of those good guys whom I had set free also moved to that city, and we found each other again, and I realized that he was the one all along. And now he is my husband.

re: When and How did You Meet Your Husband?

It is true that when you know, you just know... however some people do take a little longer, or they just hesitate...

Three years ago I decided after a lifetime of cheating bf's that I was done.. through with guys, boys, men... I had said to everyone I knew since I was like ten that I was never going to get married... I figured there was no point... (no one ever really liked me when I was young) so I just decided I made better friends with people so I would just hang out with friends... then one summer a month after school got out one of my guy friends was invited to a barbeque at a friends apartment... but he didn't really want to go b/c they had apparently gotten mad at him the last time they had a party... b/c he showed up late and had to leave early... so I told him hey lets just go to this thing and I'll find out if they are upset with you or not and if so we'll leave... when we got there everyone seemed happy to see him and there seemed to be no problems.. so we hung out at the party... about 30 min. after we got there one of their other friends george(my DH)... showed up with more food and drinks for the party... when he arrived I was checking my email in the corner of a bedroom... I barely saw him out of the corner of my eye... and had pretty much ignored him... a few minutes later I finished up on the computer and went to find food... but it wasn't ready yet... so I went outside to hang with some of the people there... after a few minutes I was telling stories about my family and friends... and then george joined the conversation and started telling stories of his own... before we realized it we had manipulated the whole convo... and we didn't even recognize anyone around us...we talked for what seemed like days but was just a few hours... eventually the cook interupted us and told us the food was ready... so we ate food... then talked some more...next thing we knew it was time to go home... a few days later i went to my sisters in tulsa for a couple weeks we talked on the phone at least once a day... when I got home we we spent that entire night and early mornig on the phone and then he asked me out on a date for lunch that afternoon... we dated twice everyday lunch and dinner for the rest of the year... just before christmas we moved in together w/ a friend of mine too... on our six month anniversary he proposed and we got engaged... six months later we got married... five months after that we got our own place... and a puppy... and now we're working towards a house, and a family... my only problem these days is most of his friends still don't really like me that much...

btw... it turned out that the guy i went to the bbq with... had actually liked me too... and I totally didn't notice...

Anywayz... the way I see it when you know you know... but sometimes even when you know... it can take awhile to realize it... just take every day one at a time... and that one person that makes your heart jump and the world around you disappear will show up when you least expect it... before you know it your whole world will change for the better... and you'll have your deepest dreams come true... even the ones you didn't know you had...
