I remember our second date. The Frau said those three words that really solidified our relationship.

"That's him, Officer!"

I met mine at a dance club. She was sitting in a corner turning down every guy. It was a bacherelorette party. I asked her to dance and got the sweetest "no thank you." It was love. I went to my usual tricks, befriend the fatty of the group and got a seat between them. I ignored her and talked with the fatty. This showed her I wasn't shallow. Told the fatty I was into civil war reenacting and the mark heard. She was big into history. We then got into a two hours discussion over history, finally danced. I didn't ask her out, just said I hope you come back, but she said clubs weren't her thing. The next night she showed up alone....muhahaha

After that I spent 11 months dating before anything sexually happened. That was a first and it was refreshing. We mostly did auctions, history and sat on the back porch of her log cabin talking until the sun came up. I finally got to know someone before the love word came up. We dated for years and been married for 15 years and I've never once thought of cheating on her, nor have I had a single doubt about her. We've seen many hard times, but quitting never came up.

Only got a few pics on my game rig, but here after a few years of dating with my bro's daughter, guessing mid 30's

She's 48 now, think she was almost 47 here, but still looking good for almost 50...me, er, not so much. She thinks she looks mad, I tell her it's sexy...

Quite a story and unusual set of circumstances involved in meeting my wife Jenny.
First off we both attended the same high school but never met, my first serious relationship to a girl named Louise lasted for around a year and a half before we split up, during this time Louise's younger sister was best friends with Jen's younger sister but still didn't cross paths, Jen's best friend was also close friends with my sister but still didn't meet. Later I dated another girl who introduced me to horse riding, I then broke up with her after I discovered she was only 15, though I thought she was around 17!! I noticed that a lot of girls went horse riding but virtually no males so I purchased a horse and found a place that agists horses, this is where I finally met my wife, and BTW another unusual thing is that both our Mothers have the same birthday!! We married in May 1976 and we are still very much in love.

In the pictures below taken a couple of months before our wedding, Jen was 22 years old and I was 24 years, when these pictures was taken.

Wow! Great pictures Reece.

I can almost hear The Eagles, Elton John and The Bee Gees in the background.
