My mom was college roommates with my dad's sister. They would call my dad whenever something needed to be fixed. Then my dad started showing up when they didn't call him and eventually he asked my mom out.

On their first date, he took her to a funny car race. They got married 6 months later. Been together over 35 years

my dad worked with my mom's sister at Bradley's (the new england kmart of the 70's)

They had the same pot dealer at NC State. No joke.

my dad was an attorney at the Industrial Commission, and my mom was a court reporter there.

My mom was 17 and lived in a very strict household. She snuck out one night and went to a party with a girl she worked with. She met my dad. Mom turned 18 a month later and they got married. (They had been together less than 2 months.)

They got divorced 6 years later, but not before procreating

my parents met at a junkyard.

dad and grandpa (mom's dad) were in the volunteer fire department and mom was working at a fundraiser after my grandpa had been telling my dad about his daughter

they went on their first date at the Beacon Drive In in Spartanburg, SC (http://www.beacondrivein.com/) and they are still married 26 yrs later

8/13/2009 11:20:45 AM

They worked together in a call center. Mom lived with her parents still, as she was JUST out of high school.
Mom's de facto stepdad was an emotionally abusive misogynist, and he would slam the door in dad's face, hang up on him, and never tell mom he stopped by or had called.

I was born on 12/21. Mom's birthday is 3/15. They married on August 24th They are celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary this month with a big party and a vow renewal, since they had only two witnesses on their wedding day. My grandfather is the one handling the vow renewal

My mom was in nursing school. My dad worked at the drive-in theater and somehow drove a white Pontiac drop top with a red leather interior. I think if you had a nice convertible back in the 60's women just jumped in while you were stopped at a red light, so that's probably what happened.

8/13/2009 11:22:54 AM

my dad was a flight instructor and my mom was a student.

8/13/2009 11:24:10 AM

my dad was into my aunt, my aunt was not interested but my mom was.

8/13/2009 11:24:23 AM

At my grandfather's viewing. My dad went to the wrong funeral home and walked into the wrong viewing. He asked my mom (whose dad was laying in the coffin) whose viewing it was. When he found out it was her dad's, he was embarrassed. But he chatted her up for a while while her dead dad was mere feet away. He ended up taking her out on their first date as an apology for being there at the wrong viewing. Been together 29 years.

8/13/2009 11:25:16 AM

The Marines. They divorced 13 years later.

My dad had just finished up vet school at Auburn (NC State's vet school opened up the year after he graduated AU) and came back to Havelock to live his dream of starting his own practice. He started working at the Havelock Animal Hospital for the guy there. Soon my dad started buying into the business. Anywho, my mom was in college at the time and was home. Her dog at the time had a bad case of ear mites and one of her friends recommended taking her dog to see the cute new vet at Havelock Animal Hospital. So she ended up taking her dog in and when she met my dad you could say she fell in love at first mite.

8/13/2009 11:27:36 AM

^^^^ that's so perfectly bizarre, it's almost not even believable.

8/13/2009 11:35:44 AM

high school French class. Really small private school, even though they were in different years they had several classes together.

I feel sorry for my dad. From what I understand and what pictures I've seen my mom was marginally hot in highschool, then after she got married found religion, got fat, and started wearing ugly clothes.

8/13/2009 11:38:09 AM

My mom and dad met at the bar of the Sheraton Hotel in GSO (the one right off 40); it was a chance encounter as they were both just visiting Greensboro.

8/13/2009 11:39:07 AM

my grandma lied to my dad and told him she was of age....she was not.

arranged marriage.

They met, got engaged the next day, and got married the day after that. Then my dad fled the country to the U.S. the day after getting married. My mom hunted him down and moved in with him 6 months later.

Been married 36 years.

my dad hit my mom's dog with his car during a snow storm. on the way to the animal hospital the dog died and so he offered to help her bury it in the snow...and apparently while digging somehow had the nerve to ask her if she wanted to go out...

mom and dad met at atlantic christian college, both music majors and both engaged to someone else. they got married at 19, had my sister at 26, me at 29, then divorced at 32.

mom and my step dad were set up, on their first date my step dad told mom that when she walked her butt looked like two pigs in a sack fighting. she left. they kept dating and go married when she was 37.

dad and step mom knew each other from high school and both taught at east wake high school. they got married when dad was 37, had my brother at 40, and are currently separated. dad is 55 now, i think.

8/13/2009 12:01:44 PM

BobbyD, did he flee from you mother specifically? Or was it from something else?

8/13/2009 12:04:26 PM

the words "flee" and "hunted down" were just me joking around.

chronologically it did happen that way, but my dad was coming to the US for college (after spending 11 years in a jesuit seminary, and then dropping out)
