The first time i ever saw my future wife was in a local pub called The Grafton. Aside from being the place where the band The Housemartins formed in the mid-80's, it also had a music quiz night and a ladies darts team on the same night of the week.
My mate and i were doing the quiz with another couple of friends (who left earlier) and his wife knew mine from the darts. We all had a drink afterwards and that was it for a while until a few weeks later when another friends held a fancy dress party at his house on New Year's Eve 1994. This other woman was there as well and we seemed to hit it off, ending up cuddling in the kitchen when nobody else was looking.
We started going out from there once or twice and as i was at the time in the RAF and based in Lincolnshire, we were soon taking it in turns commuting the 50 miles to and from her house in Hull to mine in Lincoln and vice Versa. This went on for a couple of years until 1998 when we decided to get married (we didn't bother with an engagement).
Due to this relationship still only seeing each other at the weekends (she had two daughters back at her home) I finally made the decision to leave the RAF in March 2000, go back to Hull and move in with her and her kids (then 11 and 14 at the time I think). I got a job in Hull and we've been together for 20 years last August.
Oh, and no it wasn't the "dazzling pecs", Art. She said she liked my bum, so whatever....
