How did your parents meet?
« on: April 22, 2010, 01:22:21 pm »
I just told the story of how my parents met.  They were actually set up on two blind dates.  One by my mom's uncle (dad cleaned the windows of his pharmacy when in college) and one by my mom's sorority sisters - but by then they had already met.  Married 60 years till my dad passed away in 2000.

Or, tell how your grandparents met.  Those can be some really unique stories.

My father was a young sailor and went into a bakery shop and there she was, but sadly they never talked about it when I was younger.

My dad was docked near a restaurant where my grandmother worked. My mother would walk around the docks with her little sisters sometimes. Long story short, they eloped.
