More importantly - did you meet Eddie?

When I was 16 I walked into a house party with my boyfriend at the time & saw the man who was to become my husband (Mark) sitting at the dinette table playing drinking games. Yeah, I knew he was classy right from the start. We were all headbanger kids, so picture lots of feathered hair, tight jeans, cigarettes & Metallica. I asked BF who the guy at the table was, he told me & said "why, do you like him?" I said "NO!" But sometimes, no means yes.

Hung out with the same crowd over the nextyear or two, saw each other at parties, I loved when he was there because he always made me laugh. Oh, and he was hot. He went into the Navy & I stayed with BF.

Fast forward 2 years. I break up with BF after he asked me to marry him - (dude, I was 19, he was 25 - how the hell did he think I was ready to get married?) It's a long, dragged out process with threats of self-harm & such. A few months later, Mark gets out of the Navy & I am trying to hook him up with one of my friends. She doesn't show up to the party. Mark & I start hanging out more & more & one day, he kissed me.

That was it. We definitely weren't looking for anything long term, it just happened & we never looked back. Together 12 years next week, married almost 2. I feel stupid saying it was meant to be, but I guess it kind of was.

I can't believe you met someone worth marrying in that environment. Most of the guys I hung out with just were not. Except for Charlie but he's not for me. He showed up to pick me up for the prom looking great in his tux but with a frigging huge skull earring in his ear. I was like, "Oh hell no." Haha.
