These 25 Couples Cannot Tell Their Kids How They Actually Met

Went down to the beach on the 4th of July for some heavy drinking and wiffle ball. A cute blonde girl walked up to me and said “you look like lieutenant Dan…with legs” and then wondered off. A mutual friend of ours walked up and told me it was her first time doing mushrooms. I decided to take some mushrooms and tracked her down a little later. Best decision I ever made. We’ve been together for nine years now.

I met my now-wife at a party at someone’s house in the country where there were several hundred people in attendance, two months before graduation. There were kegs aplenty. My best friend was in the band, and he took my request when I saw someone I wanted to dance with. We took things outside and walked into an unfenced field, both pretty drunk. We slipped on a grassy hillside and fell down together. Pants came off in no time. She had a very unusual last name and I spent half the remaining night in a drunken haze trying to remember what it was, and the other half trying to find it in a phone book. Oh, btw, the graduation was high school graduation. That was almost 43 years ago.

My father in law won his current wife in a game of pool. She was a stripper at the bar he was at. He won the game and chose her. 20 years his junior and she’s batshit insane.

Met at a party, made out so that some other creepy guy would stop talking to her, exchanged numbers, met for drinks a couple days later, went back to her place. Not only did I get laid that night but I stayed over and we fucked most of the next day. We clicked instantly but spent a couple weeks keeping it casual because each of us didn’t want to freak out the other person by jumping into things too quickly. We’ve been together seven years all told, married for the last two.

Started dating a stripper I met at the club. It’s been like 3+ years now. It’s amusing to watch us squirm when people ask us how we met.
