Very similar story here, down to the home baked goods!

Interestingly enough, we met in his bedroom. Married 6 months later. We laugh about our early days because they seem so unlike ourselves today. Like someone else said, it’s not about where you met. It’s what follows that matters!

At a mutual friend's party. We couldn't keep our eyes off each other and spent the entire night talking. Funny thing was that we didn't get eachother's names or contact information. A true Cinderella story. Then we both spent the next day texting everyone we knew at the party to find out who the other person was. 13 years ago!

Law school—we were in the same small section.

Eh it’s not about how you met, it’s about how you managed the relationship after that.

In a bar.

Funnily enough, all my other boyfriends I met through friends.

Met my husband in 2005 because we shared the same hobby and had many mutual friends. We ran into each other in social situations often, and eventually the time came when neither of us were dating different people and we were both single. We made plans to hang out intentionally instead of just seeing each other around and the rest is history.
