Where did you meet your partner/parents meet?

The other night I got chatting to a few couples in the bar, and a few of them told me what was clearly a scripted romanticised version of how they first met. Do most couples really meet like this and I'm the exception or what's the story? i met my partner when I was abroad on a stag, I was blackout drunk and well... she was a frisky drunk;), it was only the next day when we got chatting that we hit it off. My parents first met at a funeral, none of us make any bones with this and tell it like it is when asked. Surely some of you have unorthodox stories or is it always "eyes met across the bar and I knew that was the one" etc. ad naseum?
Lets hear them stories:D

I've broken my heart so many times, I stopped keeping track. I talk myself in and out of relationships. I tried so very hard not to bottle it but I just come up with a million excuses of why we should end it. Ah, someday that I guess it'll all turn out. I promise you though, that I give so much more than I get. I might have to wait, but I'll never give up. It's half timing and the other half's luck maybe? Wherever she is and whenever it's right though, I'm sure she'll come out of nowhere and into my life. Somehow I know that it'll all work out, I guess I just haven't met her yet.

No one's ever asked where i met my bf's.though for one it's come up,and i've explained,we went to college together.
What's the point in romanticising it.when i told anyone that (and that we lived together) people do think jesus that's a lot of time with each other.
Don't know how my parents met.i gather it was probably at a local disco.she got pregnant and they got married.very unromantic.

Me and my partner met in the Gobi Desert whilst on an aid mission for starving kids. She was kidnapped by communist rebels and i rescued her from their compound on top of Mont Blanc. We then embraced with a kiss whilst the sun was setting.

First time I meet my wife ,I totally ignored her , was it the middle of something else and even utter the words " yeah yeah whatever or something alone those lines " when the introductions where been made....

My mom and dad used to tell us they first met at a church/parish disco when they were kids (which I think is probably true). But the first time they properly met, which led to them going out was at a pub lock-in.

I don't want to know, because I'm pretty sure it would lead to me finding out that my Sister is actually my half-sister.

I met the boy way back when I started college. He was a little bit older than me - oh so mature at 22, and I was a reckless halfwit at 17. He seemed oddly entertained that despite being "two foot tall" I tried to drink like a man. We got talking a little bit more and we became friends.
He had a girlfriend, I had a boyfriend. Numerous boyfriends throughout our friendship. He was my best friend though. He was there witnessing the moments in my life I wouldnt be proud of. Carrying me home. Holding my hair back when I hugged the porcelain god. Breaking up/fighting with the boyfriends. He knew more about me than anyone else, and there was more bad stuff than good stuff.

Ended up telling him how I felt, drunk. Didn't remember the conversation. Talked to him the following day like nothing happened. Asked him what was I saying the night before, as I had seen there was a phonecall made to him. He told me he couldnt understand what I was saying, that i was incoherant for the most part. I was delighted, because although I couldnt remember what had been said, I did do a number of drunk dials and theyre usually pretty messy.

Couple of nights later he got drunk and told me i told him i loved him. I started freaking out, apologised about a hundred times and he was like "don't be sorry -- i feel the same way".

You'd think it was plain sailing after that. He broke up with his girlfriend (of 6 years), we hooked up. But - it was different. I had to complicate things. I am a slight commitment phobe and all of a sudden we were together, it wasnt just best friends anymore. I paniced, told him I wasnt interested, leave me alone, lets just be friends, blah blah blah.

We started to fight all the time, as friends. When we never ever fought before. Months later, just when things would be going okay, he'd decide we couldnt be close again, and would cut contact. We started hooking up as friends with benefits, without the "boyfriend/girlfriend" labels. And things were finally starting to work out.

Almost 31 weeks pregnant now, with his baby and neither of us could be any happier!!
