I had decided I needed a change, so I moved in with my sister in another town until I could find a place. When I went to move in she said, "I don't know why I never thought of this before, but there will be a guy here to help and you two will be married in 6 months." I laughed at her. That was June 29, 1986. August 3rd we moved in together, Dec. 13th we married. This year will be our 20 year anniversary. I guess sister knows best. LOL

I was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, in the Air Force. I'm bright white and don't normally go to the beach because of the cooking factor. But on this particular Sunday my buddies convinced me to go with them to Moon Beach to hound dog girls.

Naomi grew up in Okinawa, Japan. She doesn't normally go to the beach because she tans easily and the Japanese value porcelin skin. But on this particular Sunday her buddies convinced her to go with them to Moon Beach to enjoy the water and eat sushi.

From there it's the typical "boy meets girl, girl is unimpressed, boy scarfs free sushi and stalks girl until she breaks" story.

Long story later, we wed, and are still together after 20 years. I undoubtedly got the better part of the deal. :yh_flower

Here is the story of Bob and Cher:

I had mentioned in a couple of posts that I have had a few back surgeries. Well, my 3rd surgery was caused by a slip & fall on ice, and it turned into a lawsuit (I had actually slipped in my then-boyfriend's driveway, and he encouraged me to try to collect from his insurance company. I was kind of appalled, but when he pointed out all the work I missed and all the time I was laid up recovering from back surgery, I decided to do it.)

So . . . I am in my lawyer's office in downtown Boston after giving a four-hour deposition. Long and boring. After the depo, my lawyer & I went back to his office to talk about it. When we were done chatting, I said to him, "Howie, do you know any nice single guys to fix me up with?" I had always thought that dating was a 'numbers game', that the more you put yourself out there, the better your chances of meeting Mr. Right.

Well, at the exact time I asked my lawyer this question, a very old man walked into Howie's office. He overheard me and said, "There is a nice single guy in my office two floors down." I said to him, "That's nice, but who are you??!!" It turns out he was a good friend of my lawyer and was stopping by to say hi.

So . . . I took an elevator ride two floors down and introduced myself to Bob. I walked right up to him and said, "Hello, my name is Cheryl and I was told it would be a pleasure meeting you." He looked at me like I was some kind of crazy person (which I guess I am!!). Then I left.

The older lawyer, to whom I had given my phone number, later walked up to Bob, tucked my number in his shirt pocket, and said, "Why don't you call the young lady, she seems like a nice girl."

And the rest is history!

Rick and I met back in late 90's. I had posted my picture and a short profile on a website I often went to. Turns out, a friend of Rick's saw it, and told him he should email me. He had no internet access, so he used her email. He wrote me on a Tuesday, I wrote back. Later in the week he called and we talked on the phone for over two hours. Turns out he lived about 40 miles away, near my home town. We ended up meeting the following Sunday for dinner, and the rest, as they say, is history.

We were married in December of 2001. Rick chose December 7th..the anniversary of Pearl harbor, so he would not forget our anniversary.

So, he never forgets the anniversary, but never remembers the year!!!

She left anonymous notes for me. Little yellow sticky smiley faces and stuff. There were 600 people that worked there and I didnt know who was doing it. It made me feel conspicuous and vulnerable.

I was working at the Alibi, where I am working again, and had just got off my shift. I was having a drink with a girlfriend when in walks this very rowdy bunch, laughing and whooping and hollering. I turn around to see who's who, and there, standing in front of me, smiling with his entire face and eyes, was Bullet. His smile lights up a room. Ask Flops, she'll tell you. That is the very first thing I noticed about him. Then I did a long, slow inventory of the rest of this tattooed, leather-clad beast, and my first thought was, "I just want to peel him...." I was overcome with lust that instant.

I had just gotten out of a relationship and was NOT looking for anything serious, just something to play with for a while, and he looked like he would fit the bill perfectly. My girlfriend went up to him and told him he should ask me to dance, but unfortunately, he was there with someone else, and he said that wouldn't go over too well. He came over to order drinks and I looked at him and asked his name. When he said "Bullet", I thought.....WTF???? Then he said, "Or Matt, or Matthew." He got his drinks, gave me a wink and went to his table while I drooled from afar.

A couple days later, one of his friends came in and I asked about him. Unknown to me, his buddy got on the phone to Bullet and told him "that hot little bartender you met the other night is asking about you." 15 minutes later he was sitting at my bar. I was just getting off work, we sat and talked and drank for about 5 hours, and the rest is history. We've been inseparable ever since. Well....till now. :-5
