Not funny.


Not strange really.


They met in a pizzeria just outside of Detroit.

Early sixties.



Dad was half Italian (Sicilian). Mom 100% Irish-Catholic.

I think they were both picking up pizzas for their families.

1930's two Polish immigrant families happened to live nearby. The matriarchs from both families got together and arranged the wedding before my parents ever met for the 1st time.

Then my parents were forced to followed through or be instantly cast out to freeze or starve to death without a blink of care otherwise.

You hafta wonder what possesses these OP's lately: they're eveywhere. It's like they got hacked!? 1dunno1"


1) Since I was a very little girl I asked everyone I knew who had seemingly happy marriages how they met their spouse.

2) Another online website posed the same question of anonymous readers and also got responses all over the map.
There's been heartbreaking stories but uplifting, inspiring ones as well.

NOT DATA MINING.

Ironic connection. She was originally from Chicago and he from Texas. Mom's dad died when she was 14 and her mother moved first to Arizona where her eldest daughter attended college and then relocated to Los Angeles. When dad was a baby, his mom left her jealous husband and moved to Los Angeles. At age 16, my parents met in their high school classroom, hooked up and were together into their eighties, until they crossed over.

That's one of the better ones of all the good stories in this thread <3

My parents met in the mud. My dad with a carload of his siblings and assorted teenagers went to visit friends on the far side of the lake and found my mom with her Buick stuck in the mud in the middle of the road. He and my uncle introduced themselves and tried to be heroes. Except telling my mom what to do and how to do it never goes well. When she got unstuck, she told my dad to blow it out his ass, spun her tires and covered him in mud. Their audience roared with laughter.

My dad's siblings and friends at the lake decided my dad and mom were perfect for each other and arranged a blind date for them. He took my mom home late with the excuse they ran out of gas and had to collect beer bottles for gas money. My grandma met him with her varmint rifle and ran him off. She was glad he came back. Mom and dad were married a year later.

At their 50th anniversary party I asked folks to write down their answers to this very same question. They laughed some more!

My parents made it to their 75th anniversary, then my dad died. Mom was buried on the 1 year anniversary of my dad's burial.

My dad once told me he married my mom because she was a firecracker. Yeah, but don't you get tired of it blowing up in your face every day?
