Reader’s Respond: How did you meet your spouse?
We asked you to take a trip down memory lane to recall the moment you met your spouse and the responses are heartwarming.
From meeting through friends or locking eyes on the dance floor (yes this actually happened), here are some of your stories.
Carol Hoepper - Out with my mother and I defied her to go home with him! Proposed two weeks later and that was 48 years ago!
Gwen Hendry - Met my husband in Canberra at the Canberra Rex Hotel. I was dancing with a good friend, he was also dancing and we looked at each other when he mouthed to me, “Can I have the next dance?” I nodded my head and six months later we were married and still together 55 years later. We still have a great love for each other.
Annie O'Connor - My first marriage of 20 years broke down so I decided to get back into music and joined a band. He was the lead guitarist. Knew him for four years before we decided to go out. We were together for 28 years. Married for 15 years until he passed away 16 months ago. Miss him every day.
Allyson Curtis - I was a trainee nurse and on this particular day I was discharging a patient in the foyer of the hospital. I noticed someone I knew in the foyer whose sister was a nurse at the hospital and he was wanting to speak to her. He was also going out with my other nurse friend. A good looking guy was with him in the foyer and I asked my nursing friend about the person who was with her friend, and apparently he had asked about me. A BBQ was arranged for us to meet. We were married 51 years ago. Sadly my husband passed away 9 years ago.
Denise Davis - Two weeks into a working holiday in NZ I met my husband through my girlfriend who worked with him. Sadly he passed away 5 years ago not long before our 41st anniversary. My 12 months in NZ turned into 16 years before we moved back to Perth.
Suzy Crem - We lived in the same block of flats as children.
Annie Barry - Through a friend. Best thing that ever happened to me, I was blessed with 46 happy year's till death do us part.
