When you can't imagine living life without that person in it. When you want more for them than you want for yourself. When you feel that no matter what, you'll always love them, and you know that life isn't always fun, but you can get through it together. I knew within 8 months.

I was quite skeptical since I had been divorced previously. I honestly was not looking to go any further then meeting a new friend when I met him. About a week or so later I knew I didnt want to live without him. He and I lived together for a short while, and even had broken up and went our seperate ways. During that time we continued to be friends, and were both there for eachother. He would come to visit me often, even when he was living with someone else and I was moving on and dating as well. He went through loosing a son, and I was there for him and stood next to him (( even with his girlfriend there)) Last summer when he was over visiting me, I turned to him and said " you know, we will get married someday right" he just kinda giggled and said "O Really" To make a long story short, after sticking it out and becomming best friends during our time apart, I married my best friend on May 27 2006. Almost a year from the time I told him we would be married someday.

I knew right away too - we moved in together 6 mos. after we met (which was fast) - and were together for about 3 1/2 years before we got engaged - we will be married a year in August and together for 6 years in October - You can realize they are the one, but it is good to really get to know each other before you choose to take the step to marriage. We have really enjoyed ourselves during this first year because we had lived together so long and so there haven't been any weird surprises - only fun! :)

We actually met online, about a year ago... And started dating soon after! He was the sweetest man, but we used to argue over silly things as I always wanted my way lol.. (He teases me about "Wearing the pants" lol) I ended up breaking up with him after 3 months, my typical "Deadline" ha ha.. Welp, turns out I made a huge mistake and felt such a loss over it I didn't know what to do! We tried to be friends, but I ended up telling him I couldn't handle it after a short time. I didn't want to be FRIENDS! And he totally agreed, and we worked on our little "Issues" (I was totally stressing over something not related to US) and now we are so close it's scary! Not a day goes by that I don't thank my Stars that I met him and didn't "Run Away" like I usually do! He actually gave me a ring & asked me to marry him last month and we just told our families, who are VERY happy for us and sooo supportive! It's great that our families get along, like we do, as our families are very important to both of us!
When I swallowed my PRIDE and told him how I felt, I KNEW he was the one. I NEVER, EVER back down once I have made a desicion, lol, and this time I had to own up, as I knew I was only shortchanging myself!
I feel sorry for all the other single ladies, as I already found the most wonderful man out there!!

I always wanted to believe that I would know right away...and then I got kind of cynical after dating a few guys....but when I met my husband....I knew by the end of the weekend that we met. I told my mom he was the one, he told his I was the one...and 7 months later we were married! Now we've been married 2 months. It has been amazing. I don't think it has to happen this way...but it did for us.

when first laid eyes on him - he didn't know it yet. We hadn't met yet. You know how people say you'll know when the right person comes along well they're right. At least it was for me. We were friends for 2yrs. We dated for about 6mos. On our first date he proposed but I said no. A year later we got hitched. It's not always immediate - not for everybody.

Well I saw my now husband when he lived across the street from me and Wow there was this thing that happened (its hard to explain) I did not act on it until I found out how old he was (he looked younger) We have been together for 17 years now and that Wow is still there.

I realized it the day he and I were heading to NY and he reached over and took my hand and kissed it and held it tightly along the entire drive there. It was about 5 months into our relationship and that night before he proposed to me and gave me a beautiful engagement ring. I said yes that night and I meant it, but I was a little scared, but when he held my hand that next day back to his place...it took all that fear away. I looked at him as he fell asleep holding my hand and I knew he was the one for me.

The day after I got married.
That's the day I met a different woman, and immediately wanted to marry her.

For myself and my husband it was love at first site. The fact the pregnancy test came back positive was just a bonus. That was 15 years ago, and we are still in love.
