The short story is, we met at a party his dorm was hosting.
The long story (ready?):
One of my sorority sisters tried to set me up with my future husband. This was way back in my freshman year, their sophomore year. Somehow it never quite worked out though...
Fast forward 2 years. I was a huge fan of Babylon 5. Unfortunately, it conflicted with Lois & Clark, and everyone on my floor watched L&C, and there was only one TV on the floor, and no VCR. (One guy used to stake out the TV an hour in advance
) I knew my sister was a big B5 fan, so I asked her if she knew of anyone with a TV who would be watching. Turns out a friend of hers (yep, you guessed it... "him") was running a weekly B5 party in his dorm entry. So I became a regular there.
Meantime, I started dating a different guy... I dated him for 4 months, which ended suddenly in a rather painful breakup. (He dumped me by IM
) By the time that happened, my future husband was dating someone else. Well, a couple months later, *that* ended in a painful breakup...
So he was available when I bumped into him at that party. I knew he was a friend of my sister, and she is a woman who picks her close friends very carefully, so that carried a lot of weight. He thought the same of me. So we got to talking, and one thing led to another, and we've been together almost 5-1/2 years now, and married for 2 of those. No complaints here
