How Did You Meet Your Fiancé?
October 28, 2009 by: Laura
From Dublin to Chicago, the bar to the park, being set up to looking at your best friend in a new light, you never know where or when you might meet or discover the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with. Throughout the month of October, we asked our brides how they met their fiancés.
Before polling the brides, we all guessed that the number one way brides and grooms met each other would be in a bar/club/at a party, a social setting with a relaxed atmosphere of some sort, but we were wrong! The most popular answer we received from over 1/3 of our brides was that they met at school. We don't believe that they were all in the library, meeting by the printer, but still a surprising result.
An equal number of brides answered that they either met on an online dating site, were set up, met through friends or were at a bar or party.
A few of our favorite stories:
Sheila met her fiancé at work. He kept waiting for her right outside the office doors at the end of the day and finally asked her out!
Jo Ann and her fiancé were set up by each others ex’s!
Jennifer had a friend with a husband in the military. The friend told the two of them about each other and they talked long distance while he was deployed in Iraq for 7 months. When they finally met, they were already in love and 6 months after their first in-person meeting, they were engaged to be married.
Jessie met her fiancé while they were walking their dogs – always have to be on your A-game ladies!
Stay tuned for the next edition of "Behind the Curtain!"
