I've asked both my parents, and although its the same story, they are told from two very different points of view.
My parents met in Malaysia in a refugee camp. My dad told me my mom was the first person he saw when he first stepped into the camp, and she was the most beautiful and intelligent woman he had ever seen. He said they became friends in the camp, and when my mom moved to Germany a few months later, they made a promise to meet up again one day.
Like... a year later, my dad moved to Paris, then Germany and they met up and got married. :lmao:
My mom... :giggle: she confirmed the story, but her version wasn't quite as romantic as my dad made it out to be. While he thought she was a beautiful girl, she told me she thought he was kinda a... :giggle: ... kinda a loser.
:lmao:
Ah... the facts of life. :rolleyes:
If your story's not as weird as mine, share. :)

I've asked my parents about it quite some time before.
They said that they met during their time at University in Leeds, UK (hope i spelled it right)
But after I asked them again... my dad said that they had met through friends in Malaysia (where I was born). Then when they went Leeds to study. Both were at 2 different campuses or was it Universities, and my mom always went to my dad's campus to visit her friend.
From there, he said they started dating and then, when my mom had graduated, my grandfather wanted them to get married.
Have heard so many versions till I'm not sure which to believe. One of my relatives said that my grandfather (mom's father, Atok Zahari) wanted them to marry because my mom was getting too close to her boyfriend at the time.
As for my dad's version... he told me that my grandfather thought that my mom had caught a good catch and wanted them to marry so that he wouldn't get away :sweat:
I believe so as my dad was from a good family and he was quite good looking at the time (got the looks and charm from his parents).
Anyway, they married when my mom was 20 and my dad was 22 after they had both graduated. They married in Malaysia (as it would be quite a hassle to have a wedding overseas as my mom is the 12th child of 13 sisters and brothers :sweat: )
I was born 4 years later ^^;
:blush:

My parents met in Colorado during a meditation retreat. My dad saw my mom across a room, and remarked to his friend that she was the kind of girl he'd like to marry. So his friend told him to go talk to her, and my dad agreed.
He went up to my mom to introduce himself, but realized very quickly that she didn't speak English and he didn't speak Spanish. And they didn't have a translator. So they played a mini-game of charades to communicate, eventually finding out that they were both single. They exchanged addresses.
For about 6 months after that, they wrote each other (with the help of translators this time). My dad visited Mexico for Christmas, and proposed right there. My mom immediately said yes, and they got engaged after having only seen each other twice. :lmao:

My parents both met in high school... and had me when my mom was 17 and my dad was 19. XD
Unfortunately, they aren't together anymore, as they broke up when I was two.

Alright. So, my dad was friends with this guy name Rex, (still friends, actually) and my mom was friends with this girl named Tina. Rex and Tina were boyfriend/girlfriend and someone threw a par-tay that both my parents went too 'cause Rex/Tina invited them.
So, they met, did the boyfriend/girlfriend thing, broke up, got back together, did the marriage thing, had me, (My mom had my brother before she met him, but we won't go into details.) separated, got back together...Yep. Kinda boring, huh? I still think the way my dad proposed to her is absolutely adorable though. They were driving somewhere for a vacation, and on the way there my mom was braiding her hair (ha, that rhymed...) and my dad was staring at her like "ZOMGI'MINTRUELOVE" so he pretty much said: "Hey, wanna get married?"
....
Whatever. I still think it's cute. :D

o_o Accidentally, is how they met. >>
My mother was actually still somewhat with this guy named Lee, and he had went to the Army. Well, my mother was friends with this girl named Cindy, and my mother knew James. James happens to be the brother of my father. So, f'some reason Cindy and Jimmy hooked up, and in due time, got separated.
Within that time, my father and mother hooked up as well... It was against my mother's will. I won't explain how...
Though, she grew into it, and had me. Shit rolled downhill from there. >> And so on...
Eighteen years later... They have four children together, and are currently separated, however, they are also getting back together slowly.. And I really don't like it.. 'Cause... I hate my father for a reason. =]

My parents met when they were about 15, stayed friends which eventually led to a relationship. They were together for about 30 odd years but sadly my dad died five years ago.

I think my mum and dads meeting was kinda fate cos Well my mum was already Married and had 2 daughters but they had split up and her and her friends usually went out on a Saturday Night and one weekend my mums friends persuaded her to go out on the Friday instead and she gave in
Well on the other side of town (lol it was basically) my dad was going to go to some Bar with his friends it was where they always went but this time they weren't allowed cos one of my Dads friends was wearing something they weren't allowed to wear. so one of my dads friends suggested another Bar and that Bar just so happened to be the Bar my mum was going to. Well obviously they met there and they were together for like 17 years (which is kinda long) but they aint together anymore (still married but not together) and they haven't been for the past 8 years but anyway i'm going off Subjuect here
Well i think my parents meeting was fate so Yeah!
:D xxx
