My mom was 14 and my dad 16 when they met. They married in the fall after my mom graduated. My dad was an airman then so their honeymoon was a cross country trip from western N.Y. to his base in San Diego. </p> <p>They'll be married 38 years this November. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-parents-high-school-sweethearts#post-1594322 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 07:18:34 +0000 pui 1594322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes they were.

The other manager at my dad's work hired her as a cashier...when being introduced to her the first thing my dad said was, "What did you hire another cashier for? We don't need another cashier!" Yeah, way to be charming, dad. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-parents-high-school-sweethearts#post-1594288 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 04:42:54 +0000 Mrs. J 1594288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, they met just out of high school at a Beach Boys' concert. My mom had come with my dad's friend because he needed a date ). Although she had a boyfriend and he had a girlfriend at the time, they both went home and told their best friends "I know this sounds crazy, but I am going to marry him/her". They didn't start dating until months later when they saw each other at a party and my dad dropped her home, gave her his number, and said the ball's in your court. Shortly after that, she called, and now they've been married almost 31 years, together 36. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-parents-high-school-sweethearts#post-1594264 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 02:18:27 +0000 Running Elley 1594264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw I love these stories :)</p> <p>Mine aren't.

My dad moved to my mom's town in jr. high but would visit his cousins there when he was little and they all attended the same church. He likes to wax nostalgic about being 6 years old and seeing a raven haired beauty across the pew (my mom). I don't think he really remembers, but it's fun to hear him talk about it.</p> <p>@babymats: That story is so sweet. It's interesting reading my parents' yearbooks and seeing how their friends referenced them as a couple.</p> <p>@permastudent: Glad your folks were good high school sweetheart role models for you!</p> <p>@winniebee: @beyond2: congratulations to your parents!</p> <p>@rainbow sprinkles: My parents actually met in Sunday school, too, the year before they went to high school together.</p> <p>@lovehoneybee: I bet that's an awesome photo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-parents-high-school-sweethearts#post-1590819 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:47:37 +0000 snowjewelz 1590819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope; they met during college! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-your-parents-high-school-sweethearts#post-1590783 Thu, 24 Apr 2014 19:40:33 +0000 mfa_lady 1590783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!
