Other facts about Johnny and me...
1. John is 7 years older than me.
2. When we first started dating, I told my mother that John was my gay friend, so she would stop pressing me for details about our relationship.
3. John quit working at the pizza place a few months after we started dating. I worked there for two more years, until the little hole-in-the-wall restaurant closed down. It is now a Starbucks.
4. When we moved in together in 2000, we actually bought a house.
5. In January of 2005, we were taking a trip to Baltimore. At the last minute, we decided to get married. Just the two of us - no family, no friends. It was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend it.
6. We were married on the inner harbor, right in front of the USS Constellation...
7. The following summer, we decided to start trying for a baby. We started in June. I got pregnant in September. Porgie was born the following June.And I think you guys know the rest of the story.
I am trying to get John to write his own version of how we started dating. I stole this idea from Kate. I think it would be really neat to read the story from his perspective. But he is lazy, and will probably never get around to it.

I wanted to elope sooo bad! My mom made me have a wedding. At least the pictures are nice, though.
I thought the story was awesome. I have had my share of wild days...my husband on the other hand is straight as an arrow. I think it was a great idea.
Aw I think it's a great story and I'd love to hear his perspective too. Show him the comments from this post and I'll bet he caves!
I love hearing how couples meet!

Boy do I know that lazy never get around to it part. I asked my husband to fill out a book for me like 4 years ago, it's still in his nightstand.
Ridiculous.
Now for the others:
1. Will is 7.5 years older than I. ;-)
2.We went our first date while I was seeing another guy in April 2001.
3. We slept together a month later, just a few meetings after.
4. We "officially" got together a week after that.
Yup.
I loved your story! One day if I am brave enough I will share how the hubs and I met, lol. It's not bad but it's also not something I tell people. I usually just say a friend introduced us.
I have to say the more you write the more I believe we are twins. The hubs is 7 years older than me too! I am 29 and he is 36.
It's a lovely story - and it would be fun to read his version of things!
Actually - you got the idea from CHRIS! Since he was the one who wanted to write the he said/she said thing. I have since told him to get his own blog.
Tell your lazy husband that he can give you that story for mother's day. How convenient to have a present-worthy day right around the corner.
I loved the story! and tell that hubby to get on it! I want to hear his side! :)
i love your snippets, christy!!! you are so funny:P
love,

I didn't feel like the story made either one of you look bad. It was an unlikely love story. I love that he wasn't looking for a girlfriend and you wanted to avoid him. It just shows you two were meant to be together.
your wedding location is one of my most favorite places EVER!! it's sooo beautiful right there!
I LOVE your story!
My husband is 2 years older than me, but we slept together on our first night together and he and his son's mother were still living together. Granted, they weren't speaking to each other for quite some time, but still. I guess it makes me look slutty. lol
I personally loved the story ~ it is great to hear how people meet etc ~ and it is fantastic that you just decided to get married and did it just like that!
If (and that is a big IF....) ~ I were to ever get married again, that is soooooo what I would do!
Love and hugs Tab XXXX
