As Valentine's Day draws nigh, we're looking for stories of Great Beginnings, be they blind dates, Internet hookups or chance encounters beside the Samurai Swords for Dummies shelf at Barnes & Noble. Tell us how you met your sweetie.
How did he/she become your squeeze, your soul mate, your partner in crime? Of course, we are keenly interested in the good stuff, meaning all things embarrassing, especially any courtship moments involving exes and/or police officers.
Just go easy on the gooey stuff, as in describing the adorable cleft in his chin or the way she baby talks when she wakes up. We will rubber-stamp such details as "too much information!"
So give us the goods and we'll get in touch with you. Write to Great Beginnings c/o Floridian, P.O. Box 1121, St. Petersburg, FL 33731. Or e-mail jbarry@sptimes.com Please be sure to include PHONE NUMBERS, or you'll never hear from us.
