FRIENDSHIP AND EVERLASTING LOVE

My husband David and I were next door neighbors growing up. His sister and I were best friends and did everything together. He on the other hand, at that time, did not seem all that interested in being friends. But as time went on,


Roland and Tina

After my 13 year relationship ended and his marriage had ended 15 years earlier. Roland and I met online. I had only been online a few weeks, with no picture by the way, and he was interested in my profile and sent a shout out to me! We met, and I believe we both knew [...]


Creating the Lewis Family

Ken and I met in 1988 through a blind date and became engaged in November of 1989. We began planning a June wedding of both of our dreams and ordering invitations and depositing money for the reception. Unfortunately, his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer in January of 1990. Planning our June wedding became increasingly [...]


Partners for Life

Well, I wish I could say it was love at first sight, but we first met over the phone at work…


Thru the Fire…

I met the love of my life when I was 18, a freshman in college and finally an adult, I thought. I was farther away from my parents and family than I’d ever been, when I met Sherman. He was the ultimate bad boy, he was 6 years older than me, he’d been kicked out of school, was between jobs and practically homeless…


A Real Love Story

Rob and I met after both of us had gone through divorces. We each had two small children and felt sad and lost. We found comfort in our friendship and really felt the desire to be together. We decided early on to join our families and to be together every day…


Destined to be together

My husband and I have known each other since the 6th grade, but we became best friends starting freshman year of high school. I had my share of boyfriends; him with his girlfriends, but I used to always tell him that he was going to be my husband one day…


My World Changer

During that school year, he moved away and I hadn’t heard anything else about him. Five years later, now in high school, we get a new student in our classroom that everyone was drooling over. I knew he looked familiar…


John and Sharon

John and I were only dating 2 weeks when we started talking about marriage. We realized that we balanced each other so well. I am boisterous and impulsive and he is quiet and calm. John is the ultimate gentleman and even to this day will open my door and always lets me go into a [...]


Soul Mates

I was working at a restaurant, and it was my day off but at the last minute I was called to fill in for someone. Towards the end of my shift, Mike walked in and gave me the greatest smile. When I saw him, my first thought was “oh there he is”


Young at Heart

Almost married 10 years, at the ages of 30 and 31, my husband Nathan and I will renew our vows this September to signify our love and support for each other and our marriage. We have been through many happy times, blessings and struggles that have given us the true meaning of a married couple. [...]


A Great Team

Susan was the first person I saw when I walked into the lobby of an advertising agency. She was using a typewriter at a desk next to the receptionist. We smiled at each other. I introduced myself to the receptionist and gave her a card I had designed myself. She liked it. So much, in [...]


Online & Distant

My husband found me online at BlackPlanet.com. We shared a mutual friend and while he and his friend were breezing through all their “lady friends”, my husband stated “That lady there will be my wife” when he saw my picture. Of course his friend laughed at him but my husband remembered my screen name and [...]


A love for life

Todd and I met in high school and shared only one class with each other. We always knew somehow we would end up with each other. Eight years later we were married. We have made each other top priority in our marriage. We will be married fourteen years this January, have six children with twins [...]


Our wonderful life together….

When we met we were both very young. I was fifteen and Gene was 17. After dating three years we decided to get married. He was such a wonderful provider and he even put me through college. We raised two lovely children and are now blessed with four darling grandchildren, and this year we will [...]


Pam and Edwin

Edwin and I dated in high school and went to our senior prom together. He was very shy and I was more outgoing at the time. We dated for a short period in high school, then I went away to school and Edwin went on with his life. Ten years later, our 10-year high school [...]


My best friend Dan

Dan and I will be married for 33 years on July 22. We met while working at a grocery store and both still work for a grocery store. We have three great grown up children and a wonderful extended family. I have to say that the thing that stands out about our life is how [...]


Jody & Jon

I met the love of my life through a mutual friend. Since he traveled extensively, we didn’t see each other for weeks at a time. Both of us were smart enough to keep in touch so we could get to know each other better. We found we had plenty in common and spent many hours [...]


The Chalk Artist

I had just graduated high school. My friends and I weren’t interested in traditional senior celebrations of party after party with lots of drinking, so we created our own past time of “chalking.” We would drive to fellow graduates’ houses in the middle of the night and write on their driveway with sidewalk chalk. We [...]


So glad I had horrible tires!

It was 9:00 a.m. on a thick, hot August day. I was seventeen and on my way home from the grocery store when suddenly I hear a “thoomp, thoomp, thoomp” and realized that my tire popped. I didn’t drive over any glass or rocks, and there were no punctures in my tires… it just deflated [...]
