Micheline, I love this post. You and Josh make a very handsome couple. Have you heard of a social psychology theory called the matching hypothesis? It explains why many of us end up with partners with similar features; we tend to gravitate towards people with a similar level of attractiveness.

My significant other is my husband, Adi. We met on an internet art forum over 10 years ago. I was a moderator there and he started posting art. I was a big comic book fan and he was a budding comic book artist, so that and our love of science fiction meant we had plenty to talk about. We met a few months later; I flew out from the UK to meet him in Chicago. Next year we will have been married for a decade! He has been an artist for Marvel for years now. He's an incredibly hard worker and very devoted to his craft. He's very supportive of me and all my endeavours. I love him to bits :)

Here we are at the Emerald City Comic Con earlier this year.

I saw that photo of you two in the most recent issue of Car Kulture Deluxe! Such a great shot. This is Pat and I...

We were neighbours and friends for months before finally realizing we'd make the perfect couple. We have similar family backgrounds (both of them insane) and a mutual love of cars, music and good food. We've been together for many years with no plans for a wedding or children. We're saving up for an RV rather than a wedding so that we can travel all over Canada and the US with our three feline fur babies. I know he's "the one" because not a day goes by that he doesn't make me cry laughing. He's also a great cook ;p

His name is Kriss and we met January 6, 2007.

A couple girlfriends and I were coming home from a long day of shopping when one of us craved Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I knew where the closest one was, so we got on our way. We entered the shop and immediately shouted how much we loved the song that was on. The shop was quiet and Kriss, who was sitting at a table reading a book, looked annoyed with our obnoxiousness. My friends and I thought he was a snob and went to order.

While we were waiting for our drinks, my friends and I were trying to figure out the band that was playing. He, again, looked like we were bothering him immensely. We received our drinks and were bummed that we couldn't figure out the band. As we were leaving, he got up to throw something away near us and said, "It's Ozomatli" smiled, and sat back down. We thought, "wow, maybe he's not so bad after all. haha"

After that, we kept returning to that same Coffee Bean and he was there almost every evening. He would randomly say something to us, but we didn't think much of it. He started talking to me more and more and would even perk up a bit whenever we came in. Finally, 3 months later, he asked me out and he took me to Starbucks on March 17, 2007. Lame, right? haha We ran into a friend of his and as he was introducing me, he forgot my name. 

I gave him another shot and the next date was a million times better with no forgetting of names and actually getting to know each other a lot better. 

Two and a half years later we got married, exactly 2 and a half years after that we had our first born, Clark Alexander. 

He is a very talented writer and musician with a lot of passions, we support each other's creative (and not-so-creative) ways as much as possible and even tho he gets a little weary about the "tightness" and the "exposure" of pug clothing, he loves how they make me look and feel. 

I love him and wouldn't be able to see myself with anyone else :)and BTW, we also get people who think that we're brother and sister. Don't like that, but what can we do? haha

I love your hair in this adorable pic, Mari! And I'm really digging the cut of your dress/top. Where is it from?

This is Zack. He's been a pain in my ass for about 15 months and I think we say we hate each other more than we say we love each other. We met through a mutual friend of ours (who was actually trying to date me!) and we clicked. I use to make up reasons why we had to see each other, and I use to tell him I was a fan of his bands so we could go on dates. The day before he asked me out, he was checking out other girls to make me jealous. He's an asshole and my best friend, and I could never imagine my life without him. He's seriously the nicest guy in the world, despite everything around him. He's a gamer, going to school for game design, while I'm always trying to do my make up and hair. He follows me to pinup events and dresses up when I ask if I promise him Taco Bell and that I'd watch dumb videos on youtube or Lord of the Rings, which I have yet to get into. People have no idea we're dating with the amount of arguing we do. We're not the couple who is always all over each other and expressing how much we love each other, and a lot of my friends find it weird how I don't get jealous easily like I did in past relationships. We went from seeing each other everyday and sleeping at each others places, to barely hanging out because of his new job. But we still have our strong relationship. I love him more than everything in the world, and I ditch my makeup and hair to play video games and watch spiderman, and he drops his controller to dress up and be my lil greaser. <3

I adore this post! Such a great topic!

My husband I 'met' online 12 years ago. We were friends for a year before we ever met, even in different relationships over the course of that year. Close friends for a year then he surprised me (he lived in Seattle at the time) by taking me to the Rose Gardens (in Portland, OR) to watch the sunset. The most romantic 'date' I had ever been on. We had our hills and valley's but at the end of the day we are best friends and share many passions together. He is a photographer and I'm a painter, so our loves of the creative have been a wonderful common theme in our nearly 11 year relationship. Been married for four lovely years.

He is a tolerant supporter of my dress lusts. He has no problem picking out what I want for my Birthday or Christmas he just goes straight to PUGC website if he finds something he likes, if not its usually another retro repro brand (Trashy Diva, Bettie Page Clothing). He knows these gorgeous dresses make me feel happy and beautiful and loves how the clothing appreciates my curves.

Here is a picture of our wedding renewal in Vegas last year in December!Can't wait to see what everyone else posts!

You do realize how hard it is to follow up this ridiculously gorgeous picture right?  

My husband and I met at a Halloween party eons ago.  He proposed to me that very night.  He was beyond intoxicated so although he is normally very shy, he threw his arm around me and told his friends that "this was the girl he was gonna marry".  He was right about a year and half later we were married and celebrated our 10 year anniversary at Viva this past April.  We have tons in common, but are so very much yin and yang.  He is grounded where I am fanciful, he is punctual, where I am reliably late, and he lets me bring out my emotional side that I don't let others see.  Most importantly, though is we LOVE Halloween...we generally get dressed up every year for a few different parties!

So a pic from when we were first dating and let me preface it with it was the 90s!!!!! Bad fashion choices abounded...and we were into the "rave" scene.  Now we have both matured more into ourselves and thankfully have much better fashion tastes.  :)

I met Joe aka my manfriend almost four years ago. We had a mutual friend that was going through a break up so all of us were rallied together. All of us spent five days together k'vetching about what we liked and disliked in relationships. Unbeknownst to me he had a crush on me. On the fifth night he drove me home and asked if I would like to go on a date with him. He gave/gives me butterflies and men normally don't do that.

He actually has more clothes than me! He gives wonderful advice on whether something looks good on me and picks out some of the most beautiful things for me. He doesn't understand my comic book and cartoon obsession but will sit and listen as I go about them. And since I am a photography he poses even if he's crabby.

These are my significant others. My husband is away a lot in the military so my pooch takes his places most of the time. I met my husband 7 years ago from mutual friends in our hometown. And I met my dog, Mr. P... 3 years ago when he was a puppy in a shelter. They both think I am a bit fashion obsessed at times. My husband even calls me weird when he sees the crazy stuff I buy, (and how much I pay for it sometimes) but once I am wearing a hot wiggle dress right in front of him he takes it all back and loves it. I would say they are supportive but not understanding of a vintage passion.
