Friday night arrives. I get off work late and head to BFF’s house. I collapse on the couch and start whining about being tired and how I might just head home and skip the game. Meanwhile, the hubs & friend are at his house and they are debating back and forth about coming, but finally decide it’s free tickets to a sporting event, why not?
The hubs walks in BFF’s house first and I am in the front room. Too late to leave now. The hubs and I hit it off and his friend is also gregarious. We all have a good night. At a restaurant after the game, the hubs smoothly asks for my phone and proceeds to enter his number. And then calls himself from my phone to get my number.
He takes my hand as we walk across the street headed back to the parking garage we’re all parked in. Then, when everyone in the group turns around and notices, we drop hands as if we were 13. As soon as they turn around, he takes my hand again.
The following Wednesday, he calls and asks me out for that weekend. Almost gets hit by a bus while doing so – oops! Good thing it stopped in time. We were engaged four months later and married 1 year after we met.
*The pic above was taken about 3 weeks after we first met. Also once upon a time, I was skinny!
I love whirlwind romance stories!!! My husband and I got engaged 3 months after our first date! We didn't get married until 15 months later but that was merely due to timing and everything!
