Sparkle Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 BGD - 2007-12-10 3:01 PM Sparkle - 2007-12-09 9:07 PM icelander - 2007-12-08 6:10 PM Any more tales about how you met the love of your life? I am feeling romantic tonight Go on then.. once upon a time, on a cold rainy November day five years ago, a young woman called Sparkle happened upon a post online from a bloke called BGD....it touched her heart, so, not looking for anything from him, she emailed him. They happened to be online at the same time, and emails were quickly exchanged, as the sparks of interest flowed between them. It was evident that it was indeed a meeting of soulmates.... and within a few days they were speaking on the phone, and two weeks later they met in person - he drove down to meet her in Bournemouth. Love quickly flourished, and they spent every weekend together. He took her to Tenerife for christmas, and then they planned their future together, escaping the cold country for the warmed climes of Spain, where they live today, having married in April this year. And they are living happily ever after................. Indeedee! Not just to Teneriffe.......countries already visited thus far with the Sparkle over the past 5 years are, if my aged memory serves: Teneriffe.2002. USA (Daytona Bike Week, in 2003, the 100th Anniversary of Harley-Davidson). France (briefly)2003. Moved to Spain, 2003. Gibraltar. 2003 and 2005. Portugal. 2004 and 2005 I think. Germany (very briefly!) 2006, twice. Poland (concert tour). 2006. Thailand (Honeymoon). 2007. And that ignores the many many tour trips on motorbike, and more lately in "Martin" the old-dog Motorhome all around Spain. We do get about a bit. I think I'm basically the Sparkle's Tour Operator...... ;-) I was doing the abridged version.....maybe we'll have to have a series.... :-D
icelander Posted December 10, 2007 Author Posted December 10, 2007 Yes why not. Romance is good for you.

Mel B Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I met my 'hubby to be' at work. I was on 'work experience' for a year, I was only 16, yes I once was young and naive! I had to go down to the Stationery store (his domain) to get office materials fairly often. He took a shine to me but I, being a sweet shy young thing, didn't realise. Many months later, coming up to Easter, by which time at 17 I now had a moped. I went out to my moped on the Thursday before Good Friday and found a package strapped to it's carrier. Upon opening the package I found a 'verse' and a Cadbury's cream egg (at the time it was when there was a lot of bombings going on so I wasn't sure what to do with the thing initially 8-) ! Anyway, returning to work the following week I told one of the girls in the office what I'd found and wondered who'd put it there, she suggested it might be Chris - hadn't dawned on me! :D As he was off sick at the time (he'd nearly cut his finger off laying a carpet for his Mum), I decided to make him some sugar mice for when he returned .... the rest is history. :$ Been married for 26 years now!
