Why don't you take a seat....it's a long story.
I was into this band right after high school-- just a local band. I googled them and came across an interview article about them. I clicked on it and it took me to a website called ihurtnow.com. It appeared to be a website about music and various other thing and it had a forum. At the time it was 2001 and I had never posted in a forum. There was a thread on "favorite band" so I made a membership to the site and posted in it. I became a regular to the site, and had no idea at the time, that everyone in the forums knew eachother IRL but me. Apparently this website was made by a group of high school friends, and they were the only ones who used it, so I was an outsider without really any knowledge of it.
I noticed that almost every post by user SirCaseyofPeterson made me laugh, so I downloaded AOL instant messenger so that I could IM him. Man, I sound old. He was 16 and I was 18.
Fast forward almost two years (I'm 20, he's 18) of talking online just about daily and being livejournal friends and I invited him to meet me at a party that my coworkers were having.
We quickly became best friends. About 6 months later started dating. Then he went off to college, so we broke up. Then he moved back to we got together again. Then I went off to college so we broke up. Then he came to live with me in Bozeman for 6 months where we got back together. Moved home and broke up. Best friends for another two full years then got together again in February of 2008.
I said "I want you, all of you, all the time--and I don't want to break up, ever. Are you on-board?" He said he was. And happily ever after.
spark notes: met online 11 years ago. Met in person 9 years ago. Started dating for good 4.5 years ago.
The couple I live with did the coolest thing ever for their engagement ring.
While she was in Medical school down in St. Eustacius (sp?) in the Carribbean she found a blue bead while diving (beads of volcanic glass used to be a form of currency in the 1400s or so, and a blue one is extremely rare and valuable) and she gave it to him as a momento for while they were apart.
When he was going to propose, he mentioned wanting to incorporate some of the blue bead into the ring. I called my friend who's a jeweler and we went and saw him- he worked some magic and set the main diamond right in the middle of a harvested crossection of the blue bead once he settled on a setting. Totally unique, totally custom, totally related content. I think it's so incredibly rad even though it doesn't look anything like a regular engagement ring just because of the effort taken to make it a personal thing and not just a shiny bit to show off.
And......MARRIED!
Don't have pro photos back yet or anything. Might post a couple when I do-- but here's a couple I've received from people so far...
Check out the bald eagle that flew over us during the wedding!
