    What were the circumstances of your first meeting? Was it by chance or planned?

    I met my Jim on a blind date. My mother knew a lady who thought that we might become friends because we shared some of the same interests. He called me one night and we talked for over an hour. The date was set up and I went to his house one evening. There a long conversation and then we went out to dinner, after which we came back to his house and talked some more. This first date was on April 30, 1993 and two months later we were already talking marriage. We got married on May 6th, 1995.

    We met at a church social evening. My Mom's husband spotted the new visitor and introduced us. We married 1 year later and have been best friends ever since. We will celebrate our 28th anniversary in September. We have 2 boys aged 21 & 16 and 3 Golden Retrievers.

    I met my Roger through my now sister-in-law. I fell in love with him the minute I saw him and within three months he asked me to marry him and I accepted (March 18, 1960) and we were married in the Little Brown Church in the Vale on June 11, 1960. Boy talk about for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health - we made it. We will be renewing our vows on June 11, 2010, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Whoo-Hoo !!!!!!!!! We have a son, three grandchildren and the ever popular Bess, our avatar!!!!!! Edie

    High school sweethearts. We will be married 39 years this July (which is so hard to believe, considering we're not even that old!) We have a 36 year old daughter and 34 year old son and one beautiful 4 month old granddaughter (from our son and his wife). My husband is my best friend and supporter!

    My husband has been my boyfriend since 4th grade. I tell everyone that I chased him until he caught me. We dated through out high school and when we went to college in different towns it almost killed us. So we got married very young and have been married 43 years this July. He is my best friend. We have a son who is 37 married w/2 children,
    a daughter 34/married 3 children and a 3rd son 27/getting married on the 22nd of May. God has been good to us.

We will celebrate 39 years in August! We were married 2 months and 11 days after my 18th birthday right after I graduated High School! We have 5 sons and 4 grandkids!

    We met while working for the same company. He was on a 6 month contract, and when he left I went with him. 27 years so far - and I am looking forward to the next 27!
