I met him on a blind date and he was sooo much better than I expected! Good-looking, with big brown eyes, and so incredibly polite. (Though I soon discovered he could swear like a trooper, and he has been described, by one of our SiLs, as "the rudest man I've ever met." On those first dates, he was on his best behaviour....)
I'd always thought of myself as a cynic who didn't believe in love at first sight, until it happened to me. It wasn't just the fact that I thought he was gorgeous (though I did!) but I felt completely at ease with him from the very beginning. That doesn't happen often, as I'm very shy.
I just loved him then and have always loved him, even though he can drive everyone mad, including me. It will be our Ruby Wedding next year, all being well, so I guess that original spark is still there for both of us.
