tricky 0 #1 May 14, 2005 When did you know that you had found the person you wanted to marry? Huh? I think I have found the one.... But then I think... is this for real? I worry ... I don't know if it's a fear of the commitment or fear of him not being a good match for me. As of now, I see us working wonderfully together... but what about the future? So many questions...

AggieDave 6 #2 May 14, 2005 The first night I met Morgan I fell in love. The second night I saw her (the next night) I knew I was going to marry her. We're getting married Oct 7th. So I guess sometimes it actually is that storybook simple.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its coming time for my lease to be up and he said he knew a way to avoid resigning my lease and solving all my problems at the same time.LOL! Then he proposed.

In January, still before I had actually met him, I was quoted as saying, "I want to bear this man's children." I met him in May of 2002, and I was right. I still wanted to bear his children. We got in a fight the day we met because he was with someone else (no hard feelings, chica!!!). We are getting married Augeust 6th. I knew before I met him. Something in the conversations we had had...and that feeling only intensified when I did finally meet him. He obviously felt the same way, because he had quit his job and moved to be with me within 6 months of our first date.. ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!!

I knew my husband for 5 years before we ever went out. Then it wasn't until we had been dating for several months that I realized he was the one. But we have been married for 27 years, so it was the right choice. I think the exact moment I knew I'd marry him was when we'd been dating a few months and his ex girlfriend came into town and wanted to get together with him. He was totally honest with me and told me he was going to see her to see if he still had feelings for her. I think that is when I knew I wanted him, when I realized I had competition.

To all of you out there who are about to tie the knot... Marriage is probably the single hardest thing you will ever have to do. Especially when the "honeymoon" is over. Just remember why you got married to begin with, constantly let your spouse know how much you love them and appreciate them and it will be easier. Life has happened here and we are holding on by a thread, but I stop to look at the good times and the "little things" that thread seems a bit stronger.
