Re: 54 years ago today I met my husband at a dance!!!

First of all congratulation!  

 

Second, my story is similar to yours.  We met on the dance floor 50 years ago, Halloween.  I was brought to THE dance by a guy friend who told me  if I went (I was relaxing and had no intention of leaving the house) I would meet my husband.  So he convinced me, picked me up and at the dance a person said "would you like to dance with me."   Next day I called a girl friend and told her I had met my husband.  When she  asked his name, I told her I FORGOT TO ASK HIM.  So I had to go back two weeks later to find him.  Heck, I predicted he would be mine.  In any case he proposed Christmas Eve, told our parents New Years Eve and got married in June.  

 

What is even more interesting is:  everyone knew him but me.  We crossed paths but never met.  And the DANCE request... WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE WITH ME was a prediction.  

 

We became avid square dancers and ballroom dancers. We dance 6-7 days a week.  It was a lifetime prophecy.  Soulmate and best friend forever.

Re: 54 years ago today I met my husband at a dance!!!

Thanks all for your wonderful responses!! I truly enjoyed how you met your husbands too and some similar.  Thanks for sharing.  What we did was stay home, my suggestion, because it's cold out and windy, and I made a good chicken dinner, and we had a candlelight dinner with our good dishes and nice tablecloth, and some wine.  It looked very nice, and he surprised me with coming home with a dozen pink roses!!  Didn't expect that at all.

 

We'll be playing Canasta soon!! Love that game!
