How did you and your significant other get together?

How did you and your boyfriend, fiance, husband, whoever it is, get together? How long (if at all) had you known that person before you started going out? What was your first date? How long have you been together? My husband and I got together 3 years ago. I had liked him for about a year or so before we started going out, and he felt the same way about me. He left for bootcamp one summer and I sent him a picture that we took of the two of us at his going away party. We'd been friends for about a year. I wrote a little note on the back of the picture and had his sister (who I was friends with) send it to him. He wrote me a letter back (and sent it to her w/her letter). Well, we kept writing back and forth for the whole summer. Every couple of days I would wait anxiously for the mail to come and be super excited to get a letter, or really disappointed when I didn't. The letters started becoming more frequent and more flirty, and finally he asked me what I thought about going out with him when he came home. Of course, I wrote back that I would be thrilled to, and the day after he came home (a Sunday), we went out after church to Applebee's. After that, things progressed, and a year later we were engaged! :)
