Sarah Lewis
After my boyfriend and I had just started dating, I went to his house before dinner for the first time. We were standing in the kitchen talking and I saw his dad walk behind me. All of the sudden I heard a loud "pffffttttt." I thought "oh my gosh! did he just pass gas?" Should I ignore it or should I say "excuse you"? Then his whole family stared at me as if I had done it. Now I was really confused. Do I deny it or should I just say excuse me? I was so embarrassed and my face turned blood red. Finally, everyone started laughing; I turned around and realized that his dad had used a machine to make it look like I had done it! Good way to break the ice!! Almost 2 years later, I still get tormented about the look on my face!

When my husband and I were dating, we were at a book store. I excused myself to go to the restroom and when I returned I found my husband right where I left him. Or so I thought. I ran up behind him and threw my arms around him, only to discover it was a stranger. My reaction when he turned around was to smack him. I was so embarrassed I ran off crying. My husband witnessed the whole thing.
Corey Kenney
I fell in love with the most perfect girl. I actually met her in FAC at WKU the first day of spring semester last year but didn't start dating till the end of the semester when we were fully introduced. I was begging my friend to hook me up with one of her sorority sisters but she wouldn't do it. One night at a party, I brought it up again and she said okay if I gave her a lap dance. I gave my friend a dance and the next day she introduced to my now girl friend of one year. Its weird how things work but she is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
Sharon Harmon
My husband and I are squeamish when it comes to medical procedures, but we had no idea that his visit to the dermatologist would be such an ordeal. While I waited in the lobby I noticed a little old lady inch her way toward the hall. When I heard a crash I thought, "That poor woman must have fallen." But, she hadn't. The receptionist ushered me to a room where I discovered my husband lying with feet elevated, his face white as a ghost. After undergoing a biopsy (requiring only two stitches) he had fainted to the floor and cut his head. Now he was getting MORE stitches. As I watched, the room felt warmer, and I overheard the doctor, "Keep an eye on her. She's looking a little green." I proceeded to vomit into a bedpan. As we left the office, I imagined the staff thinking, "What a pair.”
Jessica Puckett
One VERY chilly October morning my boyfriend and I were heading up to Indiana to go horseback riding with our friends. On this trip we woke up extremely late, my window switch broke causing us to drive the interstate with the window down, having to wait 2 hours for a body shop to fix my car, and receiving a speeding ticket once crossing over the Indiana border before finally getting there. Once we arrived, my friends sent my boyfriend and me up the hill on our horses where we kept getting strange big smiles from others on the trail. When we reached the top I heard the sweetest words from, my now Husband, as he was asking me to be his wife and telling me that our night will be spent picking up his friend from the Nashville airport. Our engagement will defiantly be a day we will always remember!
Starr Farrell
What could be more romantic than honeymooning on the white beaches of Mexico? After a night of newlywed cuddling, we awoke crawling with ticks transferred from the bed. That sensual and sexy morning was spent picking vermin out of each other like infested baboons. Not to be discouraged, at the next hotel I lit candles and set them up in the bathroom for a romantic shower. The wick was too far to the side and caused the glass to slowly heat up…EXPLODE and shoot into my neck. The mood was killed again! Please help us to spark some romance without ending up with glass shards or parasites lodged in my flesh. I desperately need to replace the image of my husband on the bathroom floor with his legs spread eagled saying “we are going to need some tweezers to get this one out.”
Marta Rosa
I was showering, when I heard my mother yelling at me to get out because my bedroom was on fire. I had nothing but a pair of sweat pants, tank top, and a towel with which to run out of the house –barefoot in the snow. After my mom and I were released from the hospital for smoke inhalation; mom, the cat, brother, brother’s two guests, and I were graciously invited to stay at my boyfriend’s because the house was inhabitable. After Red Cross helped me with obtaining clothing, I was surprised by my boyfriend and one of his co-workers. They got me a cake and presents, as well as baskets of clothing and personals for me and my family. With all the drama of the day, I had forgotten it was my birthday. I laughed and cried, but told everyone I was very appreciative for all that was done.
Amber Ard
Greg and I have been together for 13 years and in that time he has broken my finger, covered me in bubble bath, almost caught me on fire, tried to drown me and left me for the bears to attack. One story, of many to tell is difficult. When he almost caught me on fire, we were raking leaves in the walkway to our storm cellar. While I was raking, he poured gas on top of the leaves. With my back turned I heard a loud whoosh and felt a lot of heat on my back side. Believe me; this big white girl can jump! Right up three steps while he laughed till he cried. I'm no angel either and we love hard but we play harder.
Heather Bushelman
My husband and I had been dating for over 5 years as we both started our careers in education. My husband is not your typical romantic, but more humorous than anything as we courted. I was sitting in my classroom the day before Christmas Break, 2003, and our intercom came on. I listened half-heartedly thinking it was a normal, everyday announcement for the students. Suddenly the voice over the intercom was very familiar, my future husband. He was proposing to me over the intercom of the school filled with 800+ students, including dozens and dozens of faculty members. If my answer was yes, I had to dash up to the office! Of course I did, trailing behind with me was over 100 of my students and fellow team teachers. To this day, our story still sticks with many of my students and parents I had that year!
Nick Levis
My girlfriend and I visited some friends in Indiana last summer. After clubbing, we returned back to a friend's house around 3AM. After talking with our friends and their roommates for a bit, we went to sleep on an air mattress in the common area on the second floor. Around 7 AM, we heard a rustling at the door as someone fumbled with the doorknob. The doorknob then fell off on our side of the door and we rolled over just before it opened. Seconds later, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned over and it was one of the roommate's girlfriends... lying in our bed! Imagine our reaction! After some yelling and nudging we managed to get her out of our bed and back to her own. It was definitely the most unusual thing that's happened to us, how often is a stranger in your bed?
Karon Tucker
A funny thing happened when my husband, son, and I made a quick stop one afternoon. My family waited in the car while I went inside. When I returned I opened my door and sat down in the passenger seat. As soon as I did, I realized the man in the driver’s seat was not my husband, and the child in the back seat was not my son. I had gotten into the wrong vehicle and was face to face with someone I didn’t know. The man and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. Neither of us said a word and I got out of the car. Later my husband who had witnessed the event said, “It happened so fast I didn’t have time to stop you”. We laughed about this until tears were running down our cheeks.
Lindsay Hall
On one of out first dates we went bowling with another couple. As a joke, I casually pulled Ryan's (my now husband) chair out from under him. I've tried this a million times, and have never succeeded. Until this night. It was priceless, and neither of us will ever forget.
Kenny Carey
I accidentally met up with my future husband at a football game. It was cold so we left to hang out at his cousin’s house. I was so nervous that I walked into a solid glass storm door, thinking nothing was there. No blood shed only a bruised forehead and ego!
FIRST PLACE WINNER
Mildred Salings
One evening arriving home, I noticed the pot roast had been heated so I assumed my husband had already eaten. I checked the answering machine, it had several messages. Each was someone giggling and hanging up. Confused I went to the kitchen and just as I sat down my husband walked in and wanted to know why I did not make cornbread. I said "what are you talking about?" About that time the phone rang and my niece wanted to know if we had cornbread. I said "What is it with the cornbread?" My husband said "Did you not get my message?" I said "No". He accidentally recorded his private message for me as the outgoing message and several people heard it. He had requested cornbread and then proceeded to tell me what else he wanted when we finished supper (Adult ears only). He is still teased about cornbread.
Carolyn King
When it comes to boyfriend’s mine is like no one else‼ He is so dedicated to his Harley‼ I never dated anyone that rode a motorcycle. I was scared to ride at first; but eventually got used to it! I love the way it makes you feel free! One day I mentioned how I would love to learn to ride. He said he would teach me! This was a date like none other! We were in a parking lot, I got on, and he showed me how everything worked. I was nervous and excited. Well, I got on and slowly started going and I was doing fine but I let go too soon and tried to brake but could not. He helped me stop the bike. I was not going that fast but my heart was! He just smiled at me and laughed.
Allison Gregory
My husband and I started dating a week after Valentines Day, on our first date he brought me a late valentine present, a teddy bear with a heart saying “be mine.” We were married 6 months later. On our first official Valentines Day together, I went into labor with our now almost 3 year old son. Even though it wasn’t a really good Valentines Date, we enjoyed the last few minutes of being childless over some sonic that we had stopped and got on the way to the hospital, after 25 long hours of labor we welcomed a handsome healthy boy, I looked at him and said "Happy Belated Valentines" GREATEST VALENTINES PRESENT EVER!
Tracy Matthews
It was the Fourth of July and my boyfriend and I had gone out to eat. We went back to my house and he wanted to shoot off some fireworks. It was a little while after he had got done shooting fireworks that there was a knock at the door. I went to the door and there stood a cop. Then I looked outside in front of the house was a fire truck. The cop asked “has anyone here been shooting off fireworks?” I pointed at my boyfriend and said “he was, but I wasn't.” My boyfriend told me after they all left that it was nice to know that I had his back. That I was only worried about me not getting in trouble. Then we had a good laugh about it.
Christa Adkins
My now husband and I had wrapped up a wonderful Valentine's Day. He had taken me to breakfast and lunch given me gifts and took me to get my nails done. He told me he would pick me up that evening for supper. We went to the Bistro and my table looked different, it had heart confetti, heart candle, card, and box of chocolate I thought how sweet! Then between the salad and the main course he dropped on one knee and held out a beautiful ring and proposed to me in front of a restaurant full of people. Of course I said yes with chin quivering and the whole restaurant erupted in clapping and cheers! Needless to say we couldn't eat our meal when it came! We were too happy and nervous with all of the eyes watching! It is one of our favorite memories!
Brandon Thomas
Went to El Mazatlan on our first date and they picked the wrong table and thought it was her birthday and put cake on her face and started singing and making noise. After finding out they had made a mistake we received our check free of charge but my god what a funny but weird first date. Now we have been together 5 years :) and we sit with our backs against a wall when we eat at El Mazatlan. LOL
Darlene Davis
He took me to his house for a barbeque and when he was lighting the grill it blew up on him.
Brenda Pedigo
Last week my honey and I decided a movie and a night was the best idea. So we are sitting around and one of his buddies had left a little air pistol, that shoots plastic pellets laying around, and I was sitting comfortably on the couch about to doze off my sweet boyfriend decides to be funny and wake me up by shooting me with this pellet air pistol thinking it wouldn’t hurt. So he takes aim and pops me three times in my hiney. Well they were more powerful then he thought and it instantly blisters my poor booty. Then he is tries to apologize by giving me a free shot at him, by giving me a pistol that just shoots air, hahaha right. Needless to say he is still apologizing and laughing. But he has been warned pay back is coming.
Andrew Crowder
She locked the keys in the car
Lauretta Mackin
My husband planned a romantic night and decided he was going to text me a very detailed message. Well a total stranger got the text instead of me. So he was freaking out all night about the text that was a little explicit!!!
THIRD PLACE
Dawn Williams
My now husband and I were driving home from our date that night in his daddy's truck down a country road. I was leaning over the console of the truck kissing him while he was driving.(I know it wasn't the smartest thing but I was young and in love).He accidentally hit a mailbox! We stopped and checked the damage. There was a big black streak along the side of the truck. I was so sorry and embarrassed. We thought we were in trouble but luckily with a little elbow grease the black mark went away! We scrubbed it all off got back in the truck and never told anyone. Now every time I hear the song "Keep It Between The Lines" by Easton Corbin it takes me back to that time we were two crazy in love kids. We have been married three years and have shared a lot of memories!
Laurie Daugherty
My first date (with my now husband of 25 years) wasn't technically a date! My husband and two other guys were standing on the street corner in Morgantown. My sister, 2 cousins, and best friend were driving around town and my sister and friend yelled at them as we drove by, they said "next time you drive by, pull in" so I did. Then they said "no we didn’t want you to yet, pull back out.” So I did but I laid down some ground rules, I said “if you want me to pull back in, that’s fine but, I'm not going to keep doing the pull in and out thing so make up your minds now!!” So the next time we went by they said "ok pull in this time, we want to get out and talk to them." So we did and we have been together for almost 26 years!!
Jacob Smithson
The time I remember most that happened to us is when I went to get something to eat with Ashley one night and her parents came along. Ashley was still nervous because this was the first time that I was really meeting her dad. When we were sitting there you could tell Ashley was real nervous and before you know it Ashley knocked over her drink and it all went into her lap. I don’t believe that I have seen her face turn so red before. But that is one of the best moments I remember because after that nothing bothered her because the worst was over. But still to this day will not order that drink that she spilt when we go to that restaurant to eat.
Frank/Kathy Coursey
This is a strange story, my current husband and I had been friends for 20 years, we never considered being together until...I was in an abusive marriage with my first husband of 22 years. One day I got brave and left, the kids and I moved in with my now my husband and his ex-wife. We found comfort in our friendship. We eventually decided that to take it to next level, so we dated a few months. He gave me flowers, candy and spent hours talking, realizing we had fallen in love. He proposed on my mother’s front porch one night. Right before we got married he had a heart attack, lost his job, and I hurt my back it was as if the odds were against us, we managed to walk down the aisle on 7/7/07 but we have not got to take a honeymoon and I thought this would be nice.
Jennifer Meredith
My husband and I went to the haunted house "Monster Mountain" on a date. While we were going through I was holding on to his arm for dear life because I was scared to death the chainsaw massacre was going to get me. A few minutes in to it my husband let go of my arm and I somehow got attached to the guy next to me, whom I thought was my husband. When we came in to the light I found out real quick it wasn't my husband but the chainsaw massacre guy that worked there, soon as I realized it was a guy that worked there he started up his loud chainsaw and started chasing me. All the while my husband was sitting back laughing hysterically at me. Later I found out that he was behind it from the get go. I haven't been to a haunted house since!
Michael Meredith
My wife and I went to eat at a local Japanese restaurant where throw shrimp at you. I caught mine just fine. But my wife flinched a little and got hit in the eye. She was so embarrassed and it took two days for her eye to get better.
Brandy Botts
My sweetheart and I were in Mexico celebrating are 10 anniversary and we decided to fool around on the balcony. Long story short we got locked out without clothing had to call front desk to unlock door. Here came this little man to open door and I said “I’m so embarrassed.” He said “Don’t worry it happens all the time!”
Katie Korbel
My now husband, Daniel, and I were freshman in college when we started dating. I was going to WKU living on campus in Bowling Green and he was in Glasgow. We met up in Glasgow to see each other one weekend, and some of his friends were with us. We started walking around the square of Glasgow holding hands and just enjoying each others company. His friends kinda stayed behind us walking and cutting up. The next thing I knew something metal came down and hit me in the head. Everything went kinda blurry for a second and everyone started laughing. One of Daniels friends had found an old hub cap cover and was throwing it around, he threw it straight up in the air and it fell and hit my head. Needless to say that ended our romantic walk.
Cathy Wester
My boyfriend and I had been dating for several years so he was comfortable coming into the bathroom while I was 'indisposed'. I thought I saw a shadow go along the bottom of the sink and I thought "is that a mouse" but quickly thought "Surely not." So we continued our conversation but lo and behold it was a mouse. It had run behind the commode, around the front and ran over my feet (which I quickly stuck straight out and screamed) then ran into my boyfriend's legs. This caused him to lift himself off the ground holding onto the sink on one side and the wall on the other. The mouse then exited under the closet door. So there we were me with my legs out, he, hanging in the air. We looked at each other with horrified, shocked looks. Then we burst out laughing and got out of the bathroom.
Patricia Logsdon
Our first date was at chi chi's, which used to be in Bowling Green, KY. We ordered a taco salad and it had everything in it. There were strings in it that looked like garnish and he was talking and trying to eat at the same time and ate one of the garnish strings and it got lodged in his throat he was choking, and I was rolling had tears in my eyes and that was a first date.
Cyndi Jones
Love makes me clumsy. Our first date was his first clue I can be a little less than graceful. We were at Lost River Cave and walked the trails getting to know each other. We came to a creek bed that wasn’t really wet, but not exactly dry either. We decided to cross the creek. In all my grace, I fell into the mud, not once but TWICE. I know he wanted to laugh, but he did not, not really knowing me yet. He helped me out of the mud and I rinsed myself off at a nearby spring. Lucky he loves in spite of my clumsiness.
Mike Soloman
While on a dating website I received a message saying Hey, no luck yet?. After talking we exchanged numbers and decided to meet. I work nights and woke up late. I called her and she said she had eaten already and would meet me outside. I flew into the parking lot and saw her, she looked up from her book and gave me a smile. We talked for 10 minutes before she told me she had to get back to work. I said ok and walked her to her car. I walked away slowly, head down, embarrassed and kicking myself for being late. I looked over and thought she would just speed off but she looked over and smiled. We have been together for 3 months now and she actually called me out on it saying, "Remember when we first met and you did the walk of shame" LOL
Jamie Ash
My husband and I decided to take a camping trip in early October 2008. We were having the time of our lives hiking, walking by the water’s edge and snuggling by the camp fire. One night, we decided to get a card game going to pass some time. Half way in the game, we started to hear an animal in the bushes next to us. Then all of a sudden, a huge skunk came walking out. We both ran into the tent hoping it would not come over and spray us or the tent. We were in there for over an hour while this cute little thing wondered around our campsite checking everything out. We called it an early night but we would look out of our tent every time we heard something. We ended up getting three more visits from the friendly skunk that night.
Addie Mosier
When my husband and I were dating we went to a Mexican restaurant to eat. It just so happened that night they had a mariachi band playing. While we were eating they sang to us and it was so embarrassing because everyone was looking at us.
Junior Huffman
My wife and I went to luxurious restaurant. We did not have car and had to be dropped off. It was special occasion, so it was paid for and we ate like a king and queen! After dinner, it was a hot June night, and we left restaurant to go call for ride. We cut through open field to a gas station and my wife stepped on dead bloated cat with heels on and it exploded all over her legs! We stood outside of the expensive restaurant puking our guts out. All while cars were pulling into restaurant and seeing that we had just left and now vomiting. Most turned right back out and left!
Amy Monroe
I met my boyfriend at a bonfire. During our conversation he asked where I worked, but being recently disabled with Muscular Dystrophy and not wanting to share so soon, I just said “I’m unemployed.” The next day my kids had a doctor’s appointment. Suddenly from behind I hear “AMY,” I turn around and it was him! The only thing on my mind was my big blue handicap sticker hanging on the rear view mirror. I know my face was red and I saw his eyes looking at it. Who would have known his office was next door to my kids’ doctor's office. I was so embarrassed! After I left, I called to explain everything. I still didn't want to tell him about my disability, but he accepted me for me and now we are recently married. We have five children together so a honeymoon/get-away would be awesome!!
Kayla Pittman
It was our first date, and we went down to Nashville for a concert at the Riverfront. Unfortunately torrential rain began to fall and we ran for the car that was at least 5 blocks or so away. We got incredibly lost, and he neglected to remember that his phone also had a GPS. We ended up by Opry and ate at a Cracker Barrel, ordering ourselves hot chocolate. At one point Ben (my man) dropped his fork and when he went to catch it ended up elbowing the chair so hard his whole arm went numb. We both began to laugh and when the waitress came back by he asked, with a completely straight face, “Could I have another fork please?” As soon as she turned away he melted into a fit of laughter. Three years later, and I still don’t know how he managed that straight face.
Katlynn Hogue
My husband and I went on our first date a year after we had been together. Our child was almost a year old by then. We got pregnant, and were without a vehicle for a while. So when we finally got one, we decided we were gonna live it up for one night. We wanted to eat somewhere fancy, but all restaurants were packed. We ended up eating Cici's, and then went to the midnight showing of Scream 4. We were having a great time to start out, but then not even 15 minutes into the movie, my husband is sound asleep. I poked and nudged him, but he would wake up for a second and go right back to sleep. The worst part was the snoring! By the end of the movie, he woke up feeling rested, I was furious! Needless to say I spent our first date alone!
Mary Ann Chak
The funniest moment that I had with my boyfriend Mike was when we were talking on the phone and I was talking about pancake syrup that a friend of mine drank one night. I said “Yea I can’t believe he drank the Aunt Jemima Syrup!!” But the way I have always pronounced it my whole life was “JEE-MY-MA” … He paused for a moment and asked what that was. I kept telling him “You know the pancake syrup with the old lady on the label!!” He finally caught his breath from laughing so hard and told me that it is pronounced “Aunt JE-MEE-MA!!!” So for about a week he kept asking if I wanted to eat pancakes and syrup!
Phyllis Eaves
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 4 ½ years. We went to h.s. together and he was friensds with my twin brother. We always hit it off, but never dated. We both were to different people for 14 years. I have two children and he has one. We ran into each other at a local church parking lot. He asked me over for dinner and we have been dating ever since. Ok this is funny... you know how your friends sometimes forget the new girlfriends name? One of his best friends who had been visiting for awhile, started to ask me a question and called me the ex wife’s name. His friend was so embarrassed. I know he had to work hard the next time we were around him to not call me the ex’s name. Wasn’t as funny when it happed, but we laugh it off now.
Angela Ryne
I guess the strangest thing would be that I fell in love with him the first time I laid eyes on him. We were on and off again for 2 years and finally are together and working things out, we were meant to be together and we love each other very much!

After my boyfriend and I had just started dating, I went to his house before dinner for the first time. We were standing in the kitchen talking and I saw his dad walk behind me. All of the sudden I heard a loud "pffffttttt." I thought "oh my gosh! did he just pass gas?" Should I ignore it or should I say "excuse you"? Then his whole family stared at me as if I had done it. Now I was really confused. Do I deny it or should I just say excuse me? I was so embarrassed and my face turned blood red. Finally, everyone started laughing; I turned around and realized that his dad had used a machine to make it look like I had done it! Good way to break the ice!! Almost 2 years later, I still get tormented about the look on my face!
When my husband and I were dating, we were at a book store. I excused myself to go to the restroom and when I returned I found my husband right where I left him. Or so I thought. I ran up behind him and threw my arms around him, only to discover it was a stranger. My reaction when he turned around was to smack him. I was so embarrassed I ran off crying. My husband witnessed the whole thing.
I fell in love with the most perfect girl. I actually met her in FAC at WKU the first day of spring semester last year but didn't start dating till the end of the semester when we were fully introduced. I was begging my friend to hook me up with one of her sorority sisters but she wouldn't do it. One night at a party, I brought it up again and she said okay if I gave her a lap dance. I gave my friend a dance and the next day she introduced to my now girl friend of one year. Its weird how things work but she is the best thing that has ever happened to me.
My husband and I are squeamish when it comes to medical procedures, but we had no idea that his visit to the dermatologist would be such an ordeal. While I waited in the lobby I noticed a little old lady inch her way toward the hall. When I heard a crash I thought, "That poor woman must have fallen." But, she hadn't. The receptionist ushered me to a room where I discovered my husband lying with feet elevated, his face white as a ghost. After undergoing a biopsy (requiring only two stitches) he had fainted to the floor and cut his head. Now he was getting MORE stitches.

As we left the office, I imagined the staff thinking, "What a pair.”
One VERY chilly October morning my boyfriend and I were heading up to Indiana to go horseback riding with our friends. On this trip we woke up extremely late, my window switch broke causing us to drive the interstate with the window down, having to wait 2 hours for a body shop to fix my car, and receiving a speeding ticket once crossing over the Indiana border before finally getting there. Once we arrived, my friends sent my boyfriend and me up the hill on our horses where we kept getting strange big smiles from others on the trail. When we reached the top I heard the sweetest words from, my now Husband, as he was asking me to be his wife and telling me that our night will be spent picking up his friend from the Nashville airport. Our engagement will defiantly be a day we will always remember!

I was showering, when I heard my mother yelling at me to get out because my bedroom was on fire. I had nothing but a pair of sweat pants, tank top, and a towel with which to run out of the house –barefoot in the snow. After my mom and I were released from the hospital for smoke inhalation; mom, the cat, brother, brother’s two guests, and I were graciously invited to stay at my boyfriend’s because the house was inhabitable. After Red Cross helped me with obtaining clothing, I was surprised by my boyfriend and one of his co-workers. They got me a cake and presents, as well as baskets of clothing and personals for me and my family. With all the drama of the day, I had forgotten it was my birthday. I laughed and cried, but told everyone I was very appreciative for all that was done.

With my back turned I heard a loud whoosh and felt a lot of heat on my back side. Believe me; this big white girl can jump! Right up three steps while he laughed till he cried. I'm no angel either and we love hard but we play harder.
My husband and I had been dating for over 5 years as we both started our careers in education. My husband is not your typical romantic, but more humorous than anything as we courted. I was sitting in my classroom the day before Christmas Break, 2003, and our intercom came on. I listened half-heartedly thinking it was a normal, everyday announcement for the students. Suddenly the voice over the intercom was very familiar, my future husband. He was proposing to me over the intercom of the school filled with 800+ students, including dozens and dozens of faculty members. If my answer was yes, I had to dash up to the office! Of course I did, trailing behind with me was over 100 of my students and fellow team teachers. To this day, our story still sticks with many of my students and parents I had that year!
My girlfriend and I visited some friends in Indiana last summer. After clubbing, we returned back to a friend's house around 3AM. After talking with our friends and their roommates for a bit, we went to sleep on an air mattress in the common area on the second floor. Around 7 AM, we heard a rustling at the door as someone fumbled with the doorknob. The doorknob then fell off on our side of the door and we rolled over just before it opened. Seconds later, I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned over and it was one of the roommate's girlfriends... lying in our bed! Imagine our reaction! After some yelling and nudging we managed to get her out of our bed and back to her own. It was definitely the most unusual thing that's happened to us, how often is a stranger in your bed?
A funny thing happened when my husband, son, and I made a quick stop one afternoon. My family waited in the car while I went inside. When I returned I opened my door and sat down in the passenger seat. As soon as I did, I realized the man in the driver’s seat was not my husband, and the child in the back seat was not my son. I had gotten into the wrong vehicle and was face to face with someone I didn’t know. The man and I looked at each other and burst out laughing. Neither of us said a word and I got out of the car. Later my husband who had witnessed the event said, “It happened so fast I didn’t have time to stop you”. We laughed about this until tears were running down our cheeks.
On one of out first dates we went bowling with another couple. As a joke, I casually pulled Ryan's (my now husband) chair out from under him. I've tried this a million times, and have never succeeded. Until this night. It was priceless, and neither of us will ever forget.
I accidentally met up with my future husband at a football game. It was cold so we left to hang out at his cousin’s house. I was so nervous that I walked into a solid glass storm door, thinking nothing was there. No blood shed only a bruised forehead and ego!

One evening arriving home, I noticed the pot roast had been heated so I assumed my husband had already eaten. I checked the answering machine, it had several messages. Each was someone giggling and hanging up. Confused I went to the kitchen and just as I sat down my husband walked in and wanted to know why I did not make cornbread. I said "what are you talking about?" About that time the phone rang and my niece wanted to know if we had cornbread. I said "What is it with the cornbread?" My husband said "Did you not get my message?" I said "No". He accidentally recorded his private message for me as the outgoing message and several people heard it. He had requested cornbread and then proceeded to tell me what else he wanted when we finished supper (Adult ears only). He is still teased about cornbread.
When it comes to boyfriend’s mine is like no one else‼ He is so dedicated to his Harley‼ I never dated anyone that rode a motorcycle. I was scared to ride at first; but eventually got used to it! I love the way it makes you feel free! One day I mentioned how I would love to learn to ride. He said he would teach me! This was a date like none other! We were in a parking lot, I got on, and he showed me how everything worked. I was nervous and excited. Well, I got on and slowly started going and I was doing fine but I let go too soon and tried to brake but could not. He helped me stop the bike. I was not going that fast but my heart was! He just smiled at me and laughed.
My husband and I started dating a week after Valentines Day, on our first date he brought me a late valentine present, a teddy bear with a heart saying “be mine.” We were married 6 months later. On our first official Valentines Day together, I went into labor with our now almost 3 year old son. Even though it wasn’t a really good Valentines Date, we enjoyed the last few minutes of being childless over some sonic that we had stopped and got on the way to the hospital, after 25 long hours of labor we welcomed a handsome healthy boy, I looked at him and said "Happy Belated Valentines" GREATEST VALENTINES PRESENT EVER!

When I was 21, I decided to go to the Army. At the end of my training, I fractured my hip and was sent to a medical rehab. I spent a total of 6 months away from my new husband. Once I was released, I took my 1st flight ever back home. My husband was to meet me at the gate. I was lost in the airport, walking around not sure where I was supposed to meet him. My husband saw me but was behind airport security. He jumped security and starting running to me. Security then surrounded my poor mother, me and my husband. Once he explained that he hadn’t seen his bride in 6 months, things started to settle settled down, but my mother never lets me forget that she got felt up my strange men in an airport because I couldn’t find my way.

I met my sweetheart at Western in the Helm computer lab. I walked a friend up to the computer lab one night and she was telling me about a guy she worked with that said he was going to quit his job. Knowing I needed a job she said I should apply just in case the spot became available. While she was working on homework I browsed the internet. Right before we left I approached the counter and looked at this guy and said, "I'll take your job." Very confused he said, "Huh?" I explained how I needed a job and heard he was going to quit and wouldn't mind taking his job because it seemed extremely easy! To make a long story short, my friend hooked us up and I ended up working at the lab. We have been married for 4 years!

It is very hard to think of anything, at the moment but I have been with my wife for almost 13 years now been married for 11 of them and never been able to do anything special for her on v-day and that is why I am entering your contest. If I had to guess the last really special v-day I gave her it was about 11 years ago, I gave her a necklace which she loves, but would love to make this one her best ye. We have 3 kids so it would be her dream day, well night I think, I'm not good at writing this stuff so I am at least trying, thank you.

It was the Fourth of July and my boyfriend and I had gone out to eat. We went back to my house and he wanted to shoot off some fireworks. It was a little while after he had got done shooting fireworks that there was a knock at the door. I went to the door and there stood a cop. Then I looked outside in front of the house was a fire truck. The cop asked “has anyone here been shooting off fireworks?” I pointed at my boyfriend and said “he was, but I wasn't.” My boyfriend told me after they all left that it was nice to know that I had his back. That I was only worried about me not getting in trouble. Then we had a good laugh about it.
My now husband and I had wrapped up a wonderful Valentine's Day. He had taken me to breakfast and lunch given me gifts and took me to get my nails done. He told me he would pick me up that evening for supper. We went to the Bistro and my table looked different, it had heart confetti, heart candle, card, and box of chocolate I thought how sweet! Then between the salad and the main course he dropped on one knee and held out a beautiful ring and proposed to me in front of a restaurant full of people. Of course I said yes with chin quivering and the whole restaurant erupted in clapping and cheers! Needless to say we couldn't eat our meal when it came! We were too happy and nervous with all of the eyes watching! It is one of our favorite memories!
Went to El Mazatlan on our first date and they picked the wrong table and thought it was her birthday and put cake on her face and started singing and making noise. After finding out they had made a mistake we received our check free of charge but my god what a funny but weird first date. Now we have been together 5 years :) and we sit with our backs against a wall when we eat at El Mazatlan. LOL
He took me to his house for a barbeque and when he was lighting the grill it blew up on him.
Last week my honey and I decided a movie and a night was the best idea. So we are sitting around and one of his buddies had left a little air pistol, that shoots plastic pellets laying around, and I was sitting comfortably on the couch about to doze off my sweet boyfriend decides to be funny and wake me up by shooting me with this pellet air pistol thinking it wouldn’t hurt. So he takes aim and pops me three times in my hiney. Well they were more powerful then he thought and it instantly blisters my poor booty. Then he is tries to apologize by giving me a free shot at him, by giving me a pistol that just shoots air, hahaha right. Needless to say he is still apologizing and laughing. But he has been warned pay back is coming.

My husband planned a romantic night and decided he was going to text me a very detailed message. Well a total stranger got the text instead of me. So he was freaking out all night about the text that was a little explicit!!!

My now husband and I were driving home from our date that night in his daddy's truck down a country road. I was leaning over the console of the truck kissing him while he was driving.(I know it wasn't the smartest thing but I was young and in love).He accidentally hit a mailbox! We stopped and checked the damage. There was a big black streak along the side of the truck. I was so sorry and embarrassed. We thought we were in trouble but luckily with a little elbow grease the black mark went away! We scrubbed it all off got back in the truck and never told anyone. Now every time I hear the song "Keep It Between The Lines" by Easton Corbin it takes me back to that time we were two crazy in love kids. We have been married three years and have shared a lot of memories!
My first date (with my now husband of 25 years) wasn't technically a date! My husband and two other guys were standing on the street corner in Morgantown. My sister, 2 cousins, and best friend were driving around town and my sister and friend yelled at them as we drove by, they said "next time you drive by, pull in" so I did. Then they said "no we didn’t want you to yet, pull back out.” So I did but I laid down some ground rules, I said “if you want me to pull back in, that’s fine but, I'm not going to keep doing the pull in and out thing so make up your minds now!!” So the next time we went by they said "ok pull in this time, we want to get out and talk to them." So we did and we have been together for almost 26 years!!
Joshua Traylor
When we were dating, she said that I only was dating her because she had fast internet. Seriously, that was one of the reasons I did date her. We were together for about 2 years before we got married we have been together since March 14th 2004. :)The time I remember most that happened to us is when I went to get something to eat with Ashley one night and her parents came along. Ashley was still nervous because this was the first time that I was really meeting her dad. When we were sitting there you could tell Ashley was real nervous and before you know it Ashley knocked over her drink and it all went into her lap. I don’t believe that I have seen her face turn so red before. But that is one of the best moments I remember because after that nothing bothered her because the worst was over. But still to this day will not order that drink that she spilt when we go to that restaurant to eat.
Frank/Kathy Coursey
This is a strange story, my current husband and I had been friends for 20 years, we never considered being together until...I was in an abusive marriage with my first husband of 22 years. One day I got brave and left, the kids and I moved in with my now my husband and his ex-wife. We found comfort in our friendship. We eventually decided that to take it to next level, so we dated a few months. He gave me flowers, candy and spent hours talking, realizing we had fallen in love. He proposed on my mother’s front porch one night. Right before we got married he had a heart attack, lost his job, and I hurt my back it was as if the odds were against us, we managed to walk down the aisle on 7/7/07 but we have not got to take a honeymoon and I thought this would be nice.
My husband and I went to the haunted house "Monster Mountain" on a date. While we were going through I was holding on to his arm for dear life because I was scared to death the chainsaw massacre was going to get me. A few minutes in to it my husband let go of my arm and I somehow got attached to the guy next to me, whom I thought was my husband. When we came in to the light I found out real quick it wasn't my husband but the chainsaw massacre guy that worked there, soon as I realized it was a guy that worked there he started up his loud chainsaw and started chasing me. All the while my husband was sitting back laughing hysterically at me. Later I found out that he was behind it from the get go. I haven't been to a haunted house since!
My wife and I went to eat at a local Japanese restaurant where throw shrimp at you. I caught mine just fine. But my wife flinched a little and got hit in the eye. She was so embarrassed and it took two days for her eye to get better.
My sweetheart and I were in Mexico celebrating are 10 anniversary and we decided to fool around on the balcony. Long story short we got locked out without clothing had to call front desk to unlock door. Here came this little man to open door and I said “I’m so embarrassed.” He said “Don’t worry it happens all the time!”
My now husband, Daniel, and I were freshman in college when we started dating. I was going to WKU living on campus in Bowling Green and he was in Glasgow. We met up in Glasgow to see each other one weekend, and some of his friends were with us. We started walking around the square of Glasgow holding hands and just enjoying each others company. His friends kinda stayed behind us walking and cutting up. The next thing I knew something metal came down and hit me in the head. Everything went kinda blurry for a second and everyone started laughing. One of Daniels friends had found an old hub cap cover and was throwing it around, he threw it straight up in the air and it fell and hit my head. Needless to say that ended our romantic walk.
My boyfriend and I had been dating for several years so he was comfortable coming into the bathroom while I was 'indisposed'. I thought I saw a shadow go along the bottom of the sink and I thought "is that a mouse" but quickly thought "Surely not." So we continued our conversation but lo and behold it was a mouse. It had run behind the commode, around the front and ran over my feet (which I quickly stuck straight out and screamed) then ran into my boyfriend's legs. This caused him to lift himself off the ground holding onto the sink on one side and the wall on the other. The mouse then exited under the closet door. So there we were me with my legs out, he, hanging in the air. We looked at each other with horrified, shocked looks. Then we burst out laughing and got out of the bathroom.
Our first date was at chi chi's, which used to be in Bowling Green, KY. We ordered a taco salad and it had everything in it. There were strings in it that looked like garnish and he was talking and trying to eat at the same time and ate one of the garnish strings and it got lodged in his throat he was choking, and I was rolling had tears in my eyes and that was a first date.
Love makes me clumsy. Our first date was his first clue I can be a little less than graceful. We were at Lost River Cave and walked the trails getting to know each other. We came to a creek bed that wasn’t really wet, but not exactly dry either. We decided to cross the creek. In all my grace, I fell into the mud, not once but TWICE. I know he wanted to laugh, but he did not, not really knowing me yet. He helped me out of the mud and I rinsed myself off at a nearby spring. Lucky he loves in spite of my clumsiness.
While on a dating website I received a message saying Hey, no luck yet?. After talking we exchanged numbers and decided to meet. I work nights and woke up late. I called her and she said she had eaten already and would meet me outside. I flew into the parking lot and saw her, she looked up from her book and gave me a smile. We talked for 10 minutes before she told me she had to get back to work. I said ok and walked her to her car. I walked away slowly, head down, embarrassed and kicking myself for being late. I looked over and thought she would just speed off but she looked over and smiled. We have been together for 3 months now and she actually called me out on it saying, "Remember when we first met and you did the walk of shame" LOL
My husband and I decided to take a camping trip in early October 2008. We were having the time of our lives hiking, walking by the water’s edge and snuggling by the camp fire. One night, we decided to get a card game going to pass some time. Half way in the game, we started to hear an animal in the bushes next to us. Then all of a sudden, a huge skunk came walking out. We both ran into the tent hoping it would not come over and spray us or the tent. We were in there for over an hour while this cute little thing wondered around our campsite checking everything out. We called it an early night but we would look out of our tent every time we heard something. We ended up getting three more visits from the friendly skunk that night.
Jasna Kusturica
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 1/2 years now. A couple years ago, we decided to go to the Smokey’s with our friends for an early Valentine’s. Things didn’t turn out as planned. We all decided to go ski. My boyfriend fell and cut his hand open on his ski. After skiing all day, our friend falls and tears her ACL and MCL. That ended her weekend. Wait, our story does not end here. The next day our car broke down and we found a local car rental place and rented a car for a day but weren’t able to return it until Monday. We had to leave our car in the Smokey’s and drive back a week later to pick it up. What a great experience we had in the Smokey’s. Who would have thought that after a terrible weekend and $2500 later he would hit a deer!When my husband and I were dating we went to a Mexican restaurant to eat. It just so happened that night they had a mariachi band playing. While we were eating they sang to us and it was so embarrassing because everyone was looking at us.
My wife and I went to luxurious restaurant. We did not have car and had to be dropped off. It was special occasion, so it was paid for and we ate like a king and queen! After dinner, it was a hot June night, and we left restaurant to go call for ride. We cut through open field to a gas station and my wife stepped on dead bloated cat with heels on and it exploded all over her legs! We stood outside of the expensive restaurant puking our guts out. All while cars were pulling into restaurant and seeing that we had just left and now vomiting. Most turned right back out and left!
I met my boyfriend at a bonfire. During our conversation he asked where I worked, but being recently disabled with Muscular Dystrophy and not wanting to share so soon, I just said “I’m unemployed.” The next day my kids had a doctor’s appointment. Suddenly from behind I hear “AMY,” I turn around and it was him! The only thing on my mind was my big blue handicap sticker hanging on the rear view mirror. I know my face was red and I saw his eyes looking at it. Who would have known his office was next door to my kids’ doctor's office. I was so embarrassed! After I left, I called to explain everything. I still didn't want to tell him about my disability, but he accepted me for me and now we are recently married. We have five children together so a honeymoon/get-away would be awesome!!
It was our first date, and we went down to Nashville for a concert at the Riverfront. Unfortunately torrential rain began to fall and we ran for the car that was at least 5 blocks or so away. We got incredibly lost, and he neglected to remember that his phone also had a GPS. We ended up by Opry and ate at a Cracker Barrel, ordering ourselves hot chocolate. At one point Ben (my man) dropped his fork and when he went to catch it ended up elbowing the chair so hard his whole arm went numb. We both began to laugh and when the waitress came back by he asked, with a completely straight face, “Could I have another fork please?” As soon as she turned away he melted into a fit of laughter. Three years later, and I still don’t know how he managed that straight face.
My husband and I went on our first date a year after we had been together. Our child was almost a year old by then. We got pregnant, and were without a vehicle for a while. So when we finally got one, we decided we were gonna live it up for one night. We wanted to eat somewhere fancy, but all restaurants were packed. We ended up eating Cici's, and then went to the midnight showing of Scream 4. We were having a great time to start out, but then not even 15 minutes into the movie, my husband is sound asleep. I poked and nudged him, but he would wake up for a second and go right back to sleep. The worst part was the snoring! By the end of the movie, he woke up feeling rested, I was furious! Needless to say I spent our first date alone!
The funniest moment that I had with my boyfriend Mike was when we were talking on the phone and I was talking about pancake syrup that a friend of mine drank one night. I said “Yea I can’t believe he drank the Aunt Jemima Syrup!!” But the way I have always pronounced it my whole life was “JEE-MY-MA” … He paused for a moment and asked what that was. I kept telling him “You know the pancake syrup with the old lady on the label!!” He finally caught his breath from laughing so hard and told me that it is pronounced “Aunt JE-MEE-MA!!!” So for about a week he kept asking if I wanted to eat pancakes and syrup!
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 4 ½ years. We went to h.s. together and he was friensds with my twin brother. We always hit it off, but never dated. We both were to different people for 14 years. I have two children and he has one. We ran into each other at a local church parking lot. He asked me over for dinner and we have been dating ever since. Ok this is funny... you know how your friends sometimes forget the new girlfriends name? One of his best friends who had been visiting for awhile, started to ask me a question and called me the ex wife’s name. His friend was so embarrassed. I know he had to work hard the next time we were around him to not call me the ex’s name. Wasn’t as funny when it happed, but we laugh it off now.
I guess the strangest thing would be that I fell in love with him the first time I laid eyes on him. We were on and off again for 2 years and finally are together and working things out, we were meant to be together and we love each other very much!
Jenny Greer
My husband and I decided to go to my first club to get that experience. So we go to Nashville a place we are unfamiliar with and we had no friends to guide us and we found a club so we were like “ok let’s check this one out.” We went in and got the shock of our lives. There was a half naked woman on a pole dancing solo and I am not going to say what we seen other people doing. It happened to be a swingers club. Needless to say that hung my clubbing experience up.
Kyle Johnson
I'd say the funniest or strangest thing is to hear my girlfriend describe why we were "destined" to meet. Reason 1)she "accidently" messaged me on Myspace confusing me with a different Kyle Johnson (how we met) Reason 2) Her mom and my sister work together (my sister overheard her mom telling someone else about our first date, we had no idea) Reason 3) She, unknowingly, got a job at the place where I have and go pay my insurance every month (so she says we would have met there eventually anyway) It's pretty ironic, I admit, but I still make fun of her for making it sound like it was destiny! (I guess I can't complain or argue much, it's been 3 years and we're still here lol)
Rhonda Calhoun
My boyfriend and I had been dating for about a month when we decided to take a romantic trip to Gatlinburg. While there, we decided to eat at No Way Jose's Mexican Restaurant. Shortly after eating my stomach began to roar and I felt like I had to rush to the restroom. We were not at that part in our relationship where we farted in front of each other, much less let the other person know we had to poop. Needless to say, while shopping in the Mountain Mall, I had to sneak and purchase a new pair of panties and jeans and go ahead and put them on AND tie a knot in the top of the bag, which held my dirty clothes that I had to replace.
Brittany Mahler
While eating outside on a nice day..a lizard crawled right on over us and our things! Eek! : )
Mindy Sanders
Ours is a story of fate and true love. I had a crush on my now husband years ago. I was too shy to tell him. Years later, I was out partying it up at a club (intoxicated is an understatement.) Well I see the boy now a man, that I had a crush on many years ago in the club. He walks past me on the dance floor, we exchange a few words and dance together. We are dancing and the next thing I know I'm falling down on the dance floor in front of my longtime crush. Humiliated, I pick myself up and run from the club. A few days later I get a call on my cell from a number unknown to me. I answer and it's him. We dated for 5 years and are now married going on 2 years. We look back at the night we met and laugh.
John Emerson
On the way to the movies we got stuck in a tornado warning, then on the way to get in from the tornado we had a flat tire then we had to sit in Walmart for two hours. We didn't make it to the movies for our date night but still had fun just the same we were together and that's all that really matters .
Michelle Geralds
My Sweetheart took me for a ride I'll never forget! So coming home from a wonderful snowy night out, my Husband (then boyfriend) decides it would be fun to do doughnuts in a parking lot. Well I was screaming for him to let me out since I really didn't like it & what does he do?! Go faster of course! My door wasn't latched because the next thing I know it swings wide open. Don't worry I didn't fall out at first! I tried to catch myself on the asphalt & dragged my hands across it for what seemed like forever. Suddenly, I fell out right as some people were leaving for the night. Oh I was so mad I got up got in the car & said "Don't say a word to me." Luckily I was not hurt just EMBARASSED & MAD!
Jason England
When I proposed to my wife, I decided to take her to the same Chinese restaurant we had our first date at. I stopped in early and asked to be seated at the same table we had when we had our first date. I had also made special fortune cookies with the words "One question will change the rest of your life" When my wife went to the restroom after our dinner, I exchanged our cookies for the "special" ones I had made. When she read hers, she said, "Mine is stupid, what does yours say" and I said it said the same thing as hers, got down on one knee and popped the question I also got the lady at the table next to us to take pictures of the proposal but the lady got overly excited and started taking pics as soon as my wife sat back down at the table. What a story to tell our grand kids.
Debbie Schroeter
We went to the State Fair in Louisville and they were selling Billy Bob teeth. Dave looks at me and says “Hey honey look she bought some of those teeth,” referring to the lady in front of me and she didn't. I thought I was going to die !!I was so embarrassed, they were her real teeth that looked like Billy Bob teeth. OMG!!!
Taylor Jared
We were out to eat dinner and our waiter had the hots for me. My glass was never empty and he was constantly asking how I was and at our table all while completely ignoring my now husband. My husbands’ glass sat empty for a good 30 minutes while my glass was refilled at least twice in that time. He eventually had to ask to get more soda. To make this funny my husband left a tip on the tip for our waiter. He wrote on one of the dollars we left that I was engaged and he should not be flirting with me. And to this day when we go to that restaurant he will not wait on our table and goes to great lengths to avoid even walking past our table.
Amanda Stone
We were at the mall and went into Spencer's, I was bent over looking at something and he grabbed me and said sis look at this. I said first of all I'm not your sis. But you should've seen the people looking at us!
E. Kathleen Harms
We took an overnight canoe trip for our 1 year anniversary and we found the most awesome little cave to camp out in. We had a great time but during the night we often felt watched & would hear something moving around. We assumed it was a raccoon or possum. The next day as we turn in our canoes, the guy shows us pictures of a mountain lion in the exact cave we just spent the night in!!
Mike Basham
We were on our first date at Opry Mills to see the lights inside the hotel and I was picking on her and pushed her too hard and she fell into the bushes, it was a sight to see.
Tammy Greathouse
We were going to the Auburn Tractor Show/Pull. He always takes tractors to the shows. They had recently restored a John Deere and to my surprise he was making me drive it in the parade. Don't get me wrong. I’m a country girl, raised on the farm, but it has been a good twenty years since I drove a tractor. We get lined up and the parade starts, I'm going good and thought “this ain't bad,” I was following behind him, then all of a sudden we start to speed up, well every time the clutch gets pushed in and release off the brake the back tires lock and spin. I thought I was going to have a heart attack but everyone watching laughed and was rooting me on. I was the talk of the Parade, I laughed the whole time, it was the funniest sight you have ever seen.

The funniest thing I can think of is we were in Nashville @ a Preds Game walking up Broadway this man in front of us had slipped on ice about 3-4 times he was drinking, and Scott & I were kinda laughing and I turn my head to look in a shop window and next thing I hear is my husband flat on his booty yep he slipped on ice and hadn't been drinking a bit…but it sure was funny due to the fact the drunk man NEVER FELL!!

We were at an audio shop in town getting an automatic starter put on my car. As we walked into the back to pick-up the car a BGPD Officer walked in and asked for my boyfriend, by name. He then told us that he had a warrant for his arrest! My boyfriend, who’s never been in trouble, kept insisting he had the wrong person, but the officer stated he was sure it was him and proceeded to arrest him. After a few agonizing minutes the officer and the shop owner starting laughing hysterically, apparently the shop owner and the officer were brothers who liked to play tricks on customers.

We were standing at my kitchen sink having a conversation and I started to feel lightheaded. I turned around and he asked if I was ok, I replied, "yeah." So I turned back around to talk to him and then it hit me again. The next thing I knew he was picking me up off the kitchen floor and carrying me to the couch. I had fainted and hit my lip on the sink. I had never had lips this big before in my life, but this is one of many dates that stand out the most.
Stephanie Burns
Funniest...texting back and forth to my Jr. High school sweetheart, realizing that 20 year's later he was the live of my life and that all the phone conversations constituted our first date.
Shannon Towe
Well one night we where out at dinner and the waitress was hitting on my husband and said I think it is so nice that you take out your little sister. I told her well thank you but he is my husband :)
Lorri Keith
My husband I were sitting in Church one Sunday and my husband was having really bad gas that day. We have wooden benches in our church. He decided he could easily let his gas out without anyone knowing. When he tried, he farted really loud and it rumbled on the wooden benches. He turned and looked at me and said "Lorri!!!!!". Everyone turned and looked at me and even the preacher stopped preaching and turned and looked at me. I was so embarrassed that I could have crawled under the benches. Needless to say, he needed all the prayer he could get when I got him home.
Daniel Irwin
Well, back before we were married we went out on a date to Colton’s for her birthday. The waiter was taking our order when my wife passed gas. Needless to say, I was blamed for it and she just laughed about it. Quite an embarrassing moment.
Larenda Cowles
On my first date with my husband, he picked me up for a nice dinner. I don't normally wear a skirt but decided to this night. We had gotten to the restaurant and I needed to use the restroom. Needless to say when I finished I had toilet paper stuck in my skirt. I noticed people looking at me and when I got back to the table at least my date told me about it! I was so embarrassed but Phillip told me not to worry about it, I still looked beautiful.
Amy Stewart
We were on our first date and it had been raining and really cold he opened the door for me to get out and when I did I slipped and he tried to catch me and we both ended up on the ground!!
Jennifer Hall
On one of out first dates we went bowling with another couple. As a joke, I casually pulled Ryan's (my now husband) chair out from under him. I've tried this a million times, and have never succeeded. Until.this.night. It was priceless, and neither of us will ever forget.
Cindy Martin
No one seems to believe us, but this REALLY did happen: when my husband and I were dating, we were sitting in his truck at the park. A garbage can was in front of the truck, and while we were sitting there talking, a squirrel climbed down into the garbage can and came up chewing on a small chicken leg. Then he dropped it in the can, went back down in there and came back up with a napkin, and I swear it looked just like he wiped his mouth on that napkin! We may have had to rethink marriage if only one of us had seen it and shared that story! Since then, we've had other funny episodes, but it's sure kept our 20-plus years together interesting! Sharing laughs with the one you love = priceless!!

When I was still a student at western I was walking past a parking meter on my way to class. A cute stranger came up to me and said the following: "Hey, sorry to bother you but my girlfriend is about to break up with me and I really don't want to get towed in the process, would you happen to have some change for this parking meter so I can go get my stuff from her dorm" I giggled and gave him some change and wished him the best of luck. 6 months later he recognized me at a local store and asked me on a date. We've now been happily dating over a year!
My husband and I decided to go to my first club to get that experience. So we go to Nashville a place we are unfamiliar with and we had no friends to guide us and we found a club so we were like “ok let’s check this one out.” We went in and got the shock of our lives. There was a half naked woman on a pole dancing solo and I am not going to say what we seen other people doing. It happened to be a swingers club. Needless to say that hung my clubbing experience up.
I'd say the funniest or strangest thing is to hear my girlfriend describe why we were "destined" to meet. Reason 1)she "accidently" messaged me on Myspace confusing me with a different Kyle Johnson (how we met) Reason 2) Her mom and my sister work together (my sister overheard her mom telling someone else about our first date, we had no idea) Reason 3) She, unknowingly, got a job at the place where I have and go pay my insurance every month (so she says we would have met there eventually anyway) It's pretty ironic, I admit, but I still make fun of her for making it sound like it was destiny! (I guess I can't complain or argue much, it's been 3 years and we're still here lol)
SECOND PLACE
My boyfriend and I had been dating for about a month when we decided to take a romantic trip to Gatlinburg. While there, we decided to eat at No Way Jose's Mexican Restaurant. Shortly after eating my stomach began to roar and I felt like I had to rush to the restroom. We were not at that part in our relationship where we farted in front of each other, much less let the other person know we had to poop. Needless to say, while shopping in the Mountain Mall, I had to sneak and purchase a new pair of panties and jeans and go ahead and put them on AND tie a knot in the top of the bag, which held my dirty clothes that I had to replace.
While eating outside on a nice day..a lizard crawled right on over us and our things! Eek! : )
Ours is a story of fate and true love. I had a crush on my now husband years ago. I was too shy to tell him. Years later, I was out partying it up at a club (intoxicated is an understatement.) Well I see the boy now a man, that I had a crush on many years ago in the club. He walks past me on the dance floor, we exchange a few words and dance together. We are dancing and the next thing I know I'm falling down on the dance floor in front of my longtime crush. Humiliated, I pick myself up and run from the club. A few days later I get a call on my cell from a number unknown to me. I answer and it's him. We dated for 5 years and are now married going on 2 years. We look back at the night we met and laugh.
On the way to the movies we got stuck in a tornado warning, then on the way to get in from the tornado we had a flat tire then we had to sit in Walmart for two hours. We didn't make it to the movies for our date night but still had fun just the same we were together and that's all that really matters .
My Sweetheart took me for a ride I'll never forget! So coming home from a wonderful snowy night out, my Husband (then boyfriend) decides it would be fun to do doughnuts in a parking lot. Well I was screaming for him to let me out since I really didn't like it & what does he do?! Go faster of course! My door wasn't latched because the next thing I know it swings wide open. Don't worry I didn't fall out at first! I tried to catch myself on the asphalt & dragged my hands across it for what seemed like forever. Suddenly, I fell out right as some people were leaving for the night. Oh I was so mad I got up got in the car & said "Don't say a word to me." Luckily I was not hurt just EMBARASSED & MAD!
When I proposed to my wife, I decided to take her to the same Chinese restaurant we had our first date at. I stopped in early and asked to be seated at the same table we had when we had our first date. I had also made special fortune cookies with the words "One question will change the rest of your life" When my wife went to the restroom after our dinner, I exchanged our cookies for the "special" ones I had made. When she read hers, she said, "Mine is stupid, what does yours say" and I said it said the same thing as hers, got down on one knee and popped the question I also got the lady at the table next to us to take pictures of the proposal but the lady got overly excited and started taking pics as soon as my wife sat back down at the table. What a story to tell our grand kids.
We went to the State Fair in Louisville and they were selling Billy Bob teeth. Dave looks at me and says “Hey honey look she bought some of those teeth,” referring to the lady in front of me and she didn't. I thought I was going to die !!I was so embarrassed, they were her real teeth that looked like Billy Bob teeth. OMG!!!
We were out to eat dinner and our waiter had the hots for me. My glass was never empty and he was constantly asking how I was and at our table all while completely ignoring my now husband. My husbands’ glass sat empty for a good 30 minutes while my glass was refilled at least twice in that time. He eventually had to ask to get more soda. To make this funny my husband left a tip on the tip for our waiter. He wrote on one of the dollars we left that I was engaged and he should not be flirting with me. And to this day when we go to that restaurant he will not wait on our table and goes to great lengths to avoid even walking past our table.
We were at the mall and went into Spencer's, I was bent over looking at something and he grabbed me and said sis look at this. I said first of all I'm not your sis. But you should've seen the people looking at us!
We took an overnight canoe trip for our 1 year anniversary and we found the most awesome little cave to camp out in. We had a great time but during the night we often felt watched & would hear something moving around. We assumed it was a raccoon or possum. The next day as we turn in our canoes, the guy shows us pictures of a mountain lion in the exact cave we just spent the night in!!
Mike Basham
We were on our first date at Opry Mills to see the lights inside the hotel and I was picking on her and pushed her too hard and she fell into the bushes, it was a sight to see.
Tammy Greathouse
We were going to the Auburn Tractor Show/Pull. He always takes tractors to the shows. They had recently restored a John Deere and to my surprise he was making me drive it in the parade. Don't get me wrong. I’m a country girl, raised on the farm, but it has been a good twenty years since I drove a tractor. We get lined up and the parade starts, I'm going good and thought “this ain't bad,” I was following behind him, then all of a sudden we start to speed up, well every time the clutch gets pushed in and release off the brake the back tires lock and spin. I thought I was going to have a heart attack but everyone watching laughed and was rooting me on. I was the talk of the Parade, I laughed the whole time, it was the funniest sight you have ever seen.
