This story is, hopefully, the first of four or five stories based on true events from my life. I have changed names but it is all true. The main characters in this story are me, Pete and my wife Sam. We started to go out when she was 18 and I was 20. We married a year later and we have been married for 45 years, so we are now in our sixties.
This first story is about when we first met and got married. I was in my first year at University and Sam lived nearby, she came along to the University Christian Union where we first met. It was not love at first sight but when I saw her I thought she was stunning, she still is. She had dark brown eyes, shoulder length brown hair, she stood five feet six and weighed about eight stone (112 pounds).
I knew almost straight away that I wanted to be with her always, I know that sounds corny but it was and remains true. Along with other students, I was invited to Sam's 18th birthday party. We talked for quite a long time at the party and I felt more and more drawn to her. I think she felt the same way because one afternoon Sam came round to see me in my university room. She knocked on my door and when I opened it I was very surprised to see her. She came in and I made her a cup of tea.
I showed her my University work and we listened to some of my cIassical music, as she was about to go we stood facing each each other and I felt that the time was right to go a bit further so I leaned in and kissed her very gently on the lips. After that we became inseparable. We went for walks, we went to the cinema and we did many other things together. She didn't like wearing tights, instead she wore knee length socks. On one of our trips out she wore a gorgeous lemon yellow sun dress, her underwear and her shoes and socks. She doesn't like wearing trousers either. I suppose you could think of her as unsophisticated and a bit 'other worldly'. I found all of this deeply attractive and I felt deeply in love with her.
