    Love Actually is my favorite love story ever

  • Charles , June 25, 2009

    My wife and I met over what was eventually to become the Internet, but back in the late 80s, it was Bitnet. We stayed up talking late at night with two other people, and even arranged a fake wedding between the four of us. During the “service”, the other woman “got cold feet” and took off, and the other guy freaked out (because unknown to us he’d had something like that happen for real), so my wife and I were left to be married by a helpful dragon.

    Twenty years and three kids later, we’re still together.

    BTW, guys, it would be really helpful when posting these contests to let us know when and where the previews are, so we can tell if we can make it before entering.

    • Blake , June 25, 2009

      We are not able to post the dates unfortunately. We only notify the winners of the dates. It’s so people don’t show up to the screening and expect to get in without a pass. Hope you understand. Hey, it is still a free movie! 🙂

    I was fixing a flat tire one summer morning when a hot guy pulled over to help me. I was very grateful for being able to make it to work on time and not waiting on road-side assistance, so I asked him if I could treat him to ice cream after work. Now, we celebrate anniversaries at Ted Drewes (for dessert).

  • Michael , June 25, 2009

    all in all … i feel the movies “before sunrise” and “before sunset” tell a pretty amazing and yet believable love story. their romance is better than anything else i can think of.

  • Delores , June 25, 2009

    I’m not sure if you are wanting a true love story or a movie…so I will do both. : )

    My favorite romantic movie is NOTEBOOK. It shows true love always wins out.

    I met my first husband when he was putting gas in my dad’s car. I sa

  • Delores , June 25, 2009

    sorry…to continue…I said Do my Dad a favor and marry me…and he said I think my Dad would be happier. We saw each other a couple days later and started dating, fell in love and married. : )

  • Dawn , June 26, 2009

    Well,
    I met my boyfriend of almost three years on Myspace. I would constantly search for new friends to add and would always see his picture. One day, I decided to add him…he had an upside down face for his profile picture 🙂 We started talking, met at my church, went on a few dates, and started dating soon after. After all the first hugs, kisses, holding hands, and dates, we fell in love. I always thought meeting someone off the internet or “soul searching” was for those people who don’t believe love can just happen. I believe I found my soul mate that day. That is my love story. (We are currently promised and hope to be engaged and married)

  • W , June 26, 2009

    I saw Tristan and Isolde last night. It was a really good movie which showed how strong love can be between two people. It was awesome!

  • clc , June 26, 2009

    i met my husband at a pool. i was a lifeguard and he was a camp counslor. he used the kid he was looking after to win over my heart. well it worked. the kid got my attention by pretneding to drown so i would have to jump in. after the kid was punished for pretending to drown and put on probation from the pool, my husband and i began dating. three years later we got engaged. last tuesday we celebrated our 2 year anniversary and each day we spend to gether is a new adventure.

  • Michelle , June 26, 2009

    I’m going with the movie option. Lady & the Tramp has the best romantic dinner scene ever.

  • Jean , June 26, 2009

    One of the best stories about falling in love is when you are surprised to find out someone you didn’t expect to, loves you.

    My favorite story about love is ‘To Dance with a White Dog”, an oldie.

  • Don , June 27, 2009

    I met my wife when her car caught on fire on her 25th birthday. She was walking down the street with some things she saved from the fire and I asked if she needed some help. We talked, I helped and that night had our first date. We married about 6 months later. : )
    My favorite movie about love would be: He’s just not that into you.
    It showed that there is someone out there for everyone…just have to keep your eyes open.

  • sher , June 27, 2009

    When I was in college my friends and I used to hang out at a local bar frequented by the campus crowd. Each time this cute bartender and follow student would give me free popcorn. After several trips to the bar, he finally asked me out by saying, “Tell me your name and I’ll take you to a movie.” We went and saw “The Way We Were” at the campus theatre. And now many movies and lots of bags of popcorn later we still love each other and the movies.

  • barb , June 27, 2009

    My Favorite movie is He’s just not into you. It does tell you to keep looking there is someone for everyone just keep an open heart.

  • Regina , June 28, 2009

    I met my husband at work…you know “secret romance” since it against the rules to date someone you work with…Oh well, we’ve been married 17 years now. I often wonder if anyone knew???

  • Becca Price , June 28, 2009

    I love The Notebook. I cry everytime

  • Joanna Lammert , June 28, 2009

    For me it has always been hard to fall in love because I had my son my junior year and had the biggest heart break with my son’s father after my son was born. So every time I met a guy the always freak out when they find out I come as a package deal. Then my freshman year of college I met a guy in my 8am class. We had been seeing each other all semester, so i decided to bring him over to meet my son. Not only did he not freak out but he played with him too. After he met him we started doing things that could involve a 2year old. He paid for to have what he called family dinners, movies, and other things. we have now been together over 3 years and my son calls him dad. I have finally fallen in love with someone who accepts the package deal.

    I met my boyfriend at a mutual friend’s birthday party I was co-hosting in my apt building. We dated for a few weeks, but I wasn’t that interested, so I broke up with him. I rethought my decision and we got back together. We dated a bit longer, becoming a couple, and things were good, but I still didn’t feel it was working. So I broke up with him again, which was so hard to do but at the time was glad I did it. The same day, my friend asked me if she could hook my new ex up with her friend. I agree since he should be happy, but it started me feeling jealous. I missed him a lot those 2 weeks, and we got back together. Now it seems better than ever. He even quit smoking, saying I was his inspiration. Could it be love? It just might.

  • allison , June 30, 2009

    Honestly? Today I’m going to say “Screw love.” And that’s my story.

  • Garline , June 30, 2009

    My brother in law was a security guard and i thought his cousin was following me so I rushed over to him and has it turns out he was going to visit his cousin so we were going to the same destination. My brother in law introduced us and we have been together since.

  • citygirl , July 2, 2009

    I still really love The Truth About Cats & Dogs, where a normal girl triumphs over a model.

  • Hope , July 5, 2009

    I met “The One” at my best friend’s birthday party when I was in 7th grade. Then, of course, I was not aware of what we would become. At the party, we figured out that we both liked going to shows, and shared a similar interest in music. We went to dozens of concerts throughout highschool, and one fateful night after a show, we were sitting in a mutual friend’s backseat, and my hand accidentally fell into his, and suddenly, our hands were intertwined. We’ve been together ever since.

    Love for me was a pursuit. I met my future wife close to 5 years before anything (truly) romantic occurred between the two of us. I was a young, innocent, and immature boy with a hopeless crush and I didn’t know what to do about it. So I tried the subtle approach. Word to the wise: Picture comments on myspace reading “Cute” are not a good way to hint at your undying love for someone. Through that, and other timid internet-related approaches I eventually…got nowhere. She spoke of other crushes while I endured great sadness, as only I knew what a beautiful future we had in store. Eventually, by pure chance, a simple hand holding led to an asking-out, a first kiss, and on and on and on. I’ve never been with anyone else in my life and I couldn’t be happier. Just lucky I guess.

  • Carrie , July 5, 2009

    Titanic is a great love story.

  • Danny Gardabie , July 6, 2009

    I seen “Lassie Come Home” at the age 5 at Ritz Theatre on Grand. I’ve been in love with movies ever since. I’m now 44 and watch LCH again and cried.

  • Kat , July 7, 2009

    Ok, no eye rolling or groaning…but I have to say, in spite of being a total romantic, my favorite story of being in love would have to be the birth of my first child, a son I named Michael, who is now 26. I was VERY young and had absolutely NO DESIRE to be a parent! Everything was all about ME…clothes, the mall, hanging with my friends, invincibility & what we thought would be immortality! Even through my pregnancy, while I was mesmerized by his little kicks & enthralled by his reactions to what I ate…I still never grasped BEING a parent. Then I gave birth & the INSTANEOUS LOVE….REAL love…that you feel, that I had absolutely NO CONCEPT of, occurred! I remember the very 1st time I actually used the term “my son.” So strangely unfamiliar & foreign on my tongue & to my own ears…but so wonderfully comforting! This “voted least likely to be a parent” went on to have FOUR AMAZING CHILDREN in all, including a set of twins! All are productive, talented, proficient, loving, mesmerizing, INCREDIBLE adults who I have the pleasure of falling in love with, over and over. Yep…IN LOVE. 🙂

  • barb , July 9, 2009

    I love to watch Love Story and The Notebook. They are my most favorite right now.

  • John Rogers , July 10, 2009

    I met the perfect person five years ago. We dated long distance. We broke up. I moved across the country for her. The time wasnt right. I moved to St. Louis. Seven months later on new years eve, she wrote out of the blue to say she was coming back and moving here. On August 3 we will live in the same city while dating for the first time.

    This ticket is for her.

  • Rex , July 10, 2009

    My favorite story of being in love is the one I live every day with my wife. The story gets better every day.

  • Kat , July 10, 2009

    The movie was AWESOME…really better than I anticipated and the MOST ROMANTIC line ever, in it. 🙂

    Make your submissions now…get CREATIVE people! I wanna read some COOL LOVE STORIES!

  • Jenny , July 11, 2009

    My favorite story of being in love?
    Last year, in college.

    Depressed by boys. Despairing of love. Determined to not fall again…

    Played my first concert, on organ (one of my majors), in the conservatory.

    He brought a pineapple and a poster, presented them bashfully.

    I smiled at him and we both felt on top of the world.

    A few days later, after nightsoftalking and akissortwo, the library was open 24/7 and we brought a tent in, set it up on the top floor where you can see the stars… and read stories to each other all night long.

    The romance never ended. It’s been six months, and I’m still caught off guard by how good it is. I’ve never lived so much in the present, never had such delicious memories to fill my dreams at night.

    He’s coming to St. Louis to visit (we’re on summer break) soon. We’ll probably see this movie. 🙂

  • Mike , July 12, 2009

    I met my gf when we both grabbed for the only copy of a movie at Blockbuster. It was sooo funny…of course I told her to go ahead and take it…and she said thanks so much…I’ll let you know if it’s good. So I said that would be nice of you, here’s my number. I wrote it down thinking I would never hear from her again…but much to my surprise she called the next day and told me the movie was awesome and that I should rent it right away and that she would be taking it back to the rental store around 4, so I said I would meet her there to be sure and get it…and of course we talked and I got her number and we have been watching movies together ever since. I hope to be able to take her to this one too. : P

  • Jen , July 14, 2009

    My story about being in love is
    the movie with Deborah Winger
    She has a husband who is a teacher at a College and he cheats on her but she is a wonderful mother to her children . Maybe it was Love Song? I cried at the end it was so good.
    and i hear that 500 days of summer is a wonderful movie

  • Lion O' Puma , July 16, 2009

    The story of Charles and Ray Eames who found love in each other later in life, if 30’s is later, and made beautiful fun together. They are the epitome of true working love.

  • LV Freeman , July 20, 2009

    My aunt and uncle fell in love and married after knowing each other for 17 days. She had worked for his father and she had heard all about my uncle before she ever met him. After 50 plus years of marriage, having had 9 children and I don’t know how many grandchildren, they are still very much in love. If only we could all find that kind of love.
