Alcohol has a lot to answer for I think 🤔. Also met my Mrs in a nightclub and will have been married 36yrs this coming Tuesday. I also made the mistake of getting married on her Birthday so I either get it very wrong or mildly right at this time of year. My solution for many years to solve this issue is to go on holiday during this week, currently sitting on the balcony looking over the Med in Tunisia ( and it's been raining most the morning, sods law)

Met my wife at work, she was the office junior, and I bet one of the lads a fiver I'd shag her .
Been together 33 years and married 25 in August .
Never got the fiver , and yes she knows about it, she even won a apple air pad on a radio station phone in competition because of it.
Still a fiver down tho.

Met my wife whilst we were dogging. Dogging as in the previous sense of canine events and not the pastime of perverts who have managed to shut down many a countryside car park. We had friends who had "pigging dogging again" emblazoned over their converted for canines (rescue) vehicle.... (Bet it aint emblazoned with that now )

Met my FPO at a disco, we were both 20. We had never met previously despite our circle of mutual friends. My mate fat Tony had been going on about ‘sexy Sam’ coming to the do and made out they were an item (they most certainly weren’t) so has never spoken to me since!
Been together 35 years and married 31.

Tip Top Inn. San Francisco, CA. 1998
I was a carpenter at the time and got a gig to build a stage at the bar. Was paid in cash and bar tab. My future wife was a bartender and we hit it off well.
First night I brought her home after last call, she saw my Portuguese Orange ’75 350B in the garage and said “you have an RD? That’s my favorite bike!”
We’ve been together for 25yrs and married since 2003.

Classic Teacher / Student love affair
I needed some cash so I took up tutoring the year 12’s to get through their final exams, I was in University, I 20, she 16
I taught her physics, chemistry, maths and a bit of biology, we kept in touch and after she graduated we stayed in touch and the rest as they say is history
Now she’s the brainy one, a pharmacist, really good at verbal judo, a cracking sense of humour and isn’t backward in coming forwards
Been together 38 years

She was the girl next door but one, took me six years to wear her down, went out with several headcases during that time for which I put the blame fairly and squarely on her shoulders for not giving in earlier!
Been together for 27 years but not married, she was daft enough to go out with me but she ain't so stupid as to marry me!

I met my Carol online 11 years ago and we are still going strong. I had split with my ex after 15 years and Carol had sadly lost her Husband in a bike accident!
Fortunately she doesn’t mind me having 4 bikes and I don’t mind all the handbags and shoes 😂

I was just thinking that my daughters are living a different social life to what we did and are not bumping into people with similar likes. I met my Mrs at a night club, and been together for 35 years....so far :-) Where did you lot meet your partners? It's a weird one this Rob, the "youngsters" (I'm well old enough to call them that!) don't seem to meet partners in what I would term "the real World" anymore, it seems mostly an online thing? I know times change, but for me in my younger days, it was the thrill of the chase that was often the most exciting bit, the "will she won't she" thing, your mates egging you on hoping that you'd make a complete tw@ of yourself! It was all really quite exciting, I don't really see that swiping left or right on an app is quite the same...... Oh, and regarding the thrill of the chase, how many times did it turn out that the chase was actually the best bit, once caught they were often a bit of a disappointment!

My mate who I was sharing a house with, his girlfriends best pal.
Been together since Jan 1987 and married since October 1991.
She's a lucky girl & when she first visited my rented house my GT185 lived in the dining room so she knew full well I'd be building LC Hybrids one day!!
