They met at a bar. My dad died of alzhiemers a few years back. Last year mama gave me a lot of his things.
In his last few years before he got too bad off, he would write out things like that trying to make sure he remembered. There were a few papers of that in there, and he wrote about how they met quite a bit.

Dad was a guitarist in a band. Mom was listening to them and met him while he took a break. Back around 1964 or so.

I was always curious, isn’t it playing with fire to go after someone in your home group? I’m not single, so it doesn’t matter to me at the moment, but I have always been curious about that. I go to meetings regularly, I see the same people, always felt like those who meet in AA are shitting where they eat.
How did they navigate that?

High school sweethearts in the early 60's. Dad was a pretty good high school football and baseball player. Got scouted by the Indians and probably could've went somewhere to play, but like many of that generation they got married at 18 right out of high school. Were married 48 years, until my father's death from colon cancer 10 years ago.

Mom was a junior in HS and dad was a senior.
Blind date set up by classmates who later married and remained life long friends as in see / talk every week and vacation together.
Mom & dad married while she was a senior. Was no longer allowed to be a majorette because she was married.
Her dad, my grandfather, said ‘it was a marriage that would never last.”
My dad never forgot that and often mentioned it.
Married lasted 68 1/2 years when my mom passed away.
After her death, he never missed a day talking about my mom.
He passed 5 years later.
Had a great set of parents and miss them dearly.

you say this:
then you say this:
if you do go to meetings, you know about the 13th step and how it's very much frowned upon...
granted, we all adults and there will likely be attraction in any group of people, much more so when people are baring their souls to each other, but you gotta think beyond the edge of your dick.... there could be serious consequences, in terms of long term sobriety for one of the parties of the relationship, if it doesn't work out...
i'm not saying it's a cardinal sin, i'm just saying it's likely not the best idea

Mom and Dad both were born and raised in New Orleans. Back in the 50s, kids would get together at each other's houses and set up a record player in the living room or garage. They'd dance and drink root beer. Apparently my Dad had seen Mom at one of these parties. He found out she was going to be at an upcoming party and got himself invited. Once there he proceeded to "impress" her by opening Coke bottles with his teeth. She was 16, he was 19. Five years later they married and stayed married for 54 years until he passed.

Doesn't matter if it's a home group or not. Id say there's definitely been many meaningful long-term relationships formed in the rooms but likewise many very destructive ones as well. And when you really get ingrained in recovery those are your friends, your crowd, so it shouldn't be a big surprise people meet there. And id say there's not anything wrong with it, but you have to know yourself and respect where the other party is at in their sobriety. I wouldn't get into a relationship either in or out of the rooms early on

Moms from Vacherie and my dads from Chauvin, they met at the College Inn in Thibodaux in about 1971. My dad's buddy was dating my mom's friend and he introduced them.

My dad grew up 800 miles away from my mom on a farm. He was in the military and was stateside in Alabama for a few weeks.
He went looking for work (to make some extra spending money) while he was off.
He met my maternal grandfather who was in construction and worked for him for 10 days. To hear my grandfather tell the story, my dad was the first guy to the worksite and last to leave. He ate out of a black metal pail and read his Bible at lunch.
At the end of the week, my grandfather took him home to meet his daughter.
They wrote each other every week while he was away until he came back and asked for her hand in marriage.
They were married for 56 years until my mom passed away.

Mom was captain of her HS basketball team and an academic all star, Dad was a rebel.
Mom had the responsibility of watching the farm and helping raise her kids when her dad died at 11. Her mom had to work two shifts, while my mom ran the farm and took care of the kids.
The day after she graduated HS, they eloped. They were from different towns, met at a basketball game.
