And I love your own personal romance story - it's gorgeous!<br /><br />I remember the first time I went out with my hubby-to-be - it was Valentine's Day as we were driving home just after mid-night. It must have been auspicious because we've been together now for 33 great years.Sharon Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836969154744451542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-32887511645724037132014-09-09T09:30:42.344+10:002014-09-09T09:30:42.344+10:00Thanks, Sharlene.

Loved those letters arriving. <br /><br />We often talk about what it would have been like if we'd actually been in the same city but think it was great the way we met. All those phone calls and letters meant we got to know each slowly and the anticipation of being together made getting together so much sweeter!!Jennifer St Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115014191040562984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-48296604137610711692014-09-09T08:48:03.230+10:002014-09-09T08:48:03.230+10:00Happy Anniversary!

I met my hubby a few weeks before I left England to work in France. He had a job in England, so we did the letter thing for several months. I remember the excitement when a letter arrived, but more often than not I had to wait days and then they all came at once.

Certainly don't know the exact date as it changes slightly every year, but we do know labour weekend was our wedding. It was very special with only ten of our family and we were married in the restaurant where we went on to celebrate.Sue MacKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475372981173809219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-1786022926591818822014-09-08T10:19:07.794+10:002014-09-08T10:19:07.794+10:00Wow!

Patience certainly wasn't my virtue when I met the DH. <br /><br />As for dates…I always remember the date of our first kiss. :-) I always remember our wedding anniversary too -- we deliberately chose Australia Day as it meant our anniversary would fall on a public holiday. :-) Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-9142588837669812682014-09-08T09:34:50.924+10:002014-09-08T09:34:50.924+10:00Great story, Amy.

However, we had lots of people thinking it couldn't be done. I guess we are both proof that it can be.Jennifer St Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115014191040562984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-85078173400337123902014-09-08T09:12:36.706+10:002014-09-08T09:12:36.706+10:00My hubby and I had a long distance relationship fo...My hubby and I had a long distance relationship for 3 years too, Jen. He got a job in Canberra and I'd just started my training in Rocky so yeh...we traveled back and forth a lot and there were a lot of letters. We got married 2 weeks after I finished my training :-)<br /><br />I honestly don't know about a date that sticks in my mind. When you meet "the one" at 16 there's not a lot of dating going on and hubby doesn't have a romantic bone in his body! Lucky I love him :-)Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.com
