30 Stories From Lucky Couples Who Married The First Person They Dated

29. My SO said it was the moment that I drove him two hours to go to a Warhammer Cafe in Dallas despite not having a personal interest. And then staying there until it closed while he geeked out and bought stuff.

He wasn’t my first boyfriend, but I was his first girlfriend. The day after we went to the cafe, I surprised him at home with a steak dinner for Valentine’s Day. He surprised me with a ring.

Getting married next year!

30. When I was 18 I was heavily into sports and gaming, and I had no time for anything else. Everyday after work was just hours of volleyball, ultimate Frisbee, basketball. After that I would head to a friend’s house for dinner and video games, rinse and repeat pretty much every day. During the winter we would get season passes and hit the mountain for snowboarding 40-50x a season. Well during that year my friend invited a whole bunch of people one weekend, and one of his friends sister came along. She had never snowboarded before, and she was completely deaf, but damn if she wasn’t the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I blew my friends off and spent the entire day guiding her down the bunny slopes over and over. Couldn’t even talk to her because I didn’t know sign language, but we didn’t care. Had the best time ever. Cut to one month later and I’m driving to her town 4hrs away every Friday right after work, and coming home 4hrs every Sunday evening. 3 months later we said “screw it” and got engaged. Two years later we were married. That was about 13yrs ago, and now the only thing I do is hang out with her every day. I am a professional sign language interpreter (because of her) and we have awesome kids (also because of her). The concept of girls and dating wasn’t really a priority for me at the time, until she came out of no where like a sack of bricks lol. The funny part was she turned me down the first few times I asked her out too! But sometimes when you know, you just know.
