Well Matt I would like to say that I am living proof that marrage in FIRST does happen. I have just married the guy i met throw FIRST. We were both drivers for our individual teams. We met in 2000 at the Great Lakes Regional, his team picked mine to go in to the finals and we won. Then we were at Nationals and it was my teams turn to do the picking and so they(201) were one of our picks, and can't say that, that had as happy of an ending. Then if that wasn't enough, he graduatited but came to the Kettering Kick Off to support his old team and finaly had the guts to talk to the girl from 47 with the bright orange hair . And the rest as they say is history.

And if that wasn't enough my sister-in-law(old driver from 201 A.K.A Emily) will be getting married in August to her guy(old driver from 27 A.K.A Todd).

I guess it a driver thing.

The Technokats, though not back then, were ran by a husband and wife. I think they met through work not the team but still ran it. This was the 1996 season.

My wife and I didn't meet because of FIRST (blind date) but FIRST is the perfect activity for us. She's a teacher at Wilson Magnet and I work for Xerox. It's a marriage of convenience.

Ed,
You may want to edit that last sentence before it gets you in trouble. (The voice of experience.)

Perhaps I should instead call it a "marriage of coincidence" .

I must say, since I've been in FIRST, I don't think there's been a girl that I've had an interest in that wasn't involved in FIRST. Like someone mentioned above, what better place to find people that have similar interests?

As far as the long distance thing goes, if both parties want it to work, it can and will work. There are tons of great examples out there. Communication is key. I myself was involved in a long distance relationship because of FIRST until recently. It does get hard at times, but seeing the other person at competitions is wonderful. Plus, the time that you do get to spend together is that much more precious.

So I say congrats to those that are taking their relationships to the next level, and good luck to those that are just beginning. And here's to hoping for those of us that are still looking (I like long walks on the beach, moonlight..HAHAHA).

I guess on that note, for all you singles out there, keep an eye out for the FIRST Singles Club coming soon.....

Yup Yup! i am currently in a long distance relationship with one of the greatest guys i have ever met. And when i say long distance i mean it... i live in California and he is in Michigan!... i actually met him through CD just like someone mentioned in an earlier post. lol. but yeah, we talk online whenever possible and we talk on the phone once in a while. so far it is going great and our one month is comming up next week on May 21st... The first of many future anniversaries... if you know what i mean.

I was actually introduced into FIRST by my ex-boyfriend. We had stared dating our senior year of HS and he was on team 146, I had heard of FIRST and that was about it...he ended up being the driver of the robot that year (1999) and I decied that I would suprize him by going down to UTC regional to cheer him on... well I was hooked from that point on...

I'm no longer with him (he broke up w/me on Valentine's day after 4 1/2 years) but I really glad that I did go to cheer him on that day so very long ago...I'm now an advisor for team 1073, hopefully assisting with starting up 2 more teams and an active mbr of IF...gotta luv it

You'll be hearing wedding bells soon enough, Bree. After all, we just turned 17.

I'm going to marry a FIRSTer...when I'm 30...at least that is what my dream told me...

btw...the dream was pretty freaky...

i met my boyfriend through first...we were on the same team until this year, and i was on a different team...that was interesting...

I was wondering the other day if anyone else had had this happen to them. the girl I'm currently dating I met at the VCU Regional this year. It's a funny story... Last year there was a new school being built in my district, so in turn when it opened this year members from our team last year have now created a team at the new school. That team is 1086, I could be wrong with the number. But at the VCU Regional that team was having many problems, and I noticed that my former comrads were in trouble, so I volunteered to help them out. While helping them I met the girl I'm dating, and last weekend we went to my junior prom with a big group of friends, and we got home at 6:00 in the mroning.
Just thought I would add my story to the pot.
