    I thought I'd see how many of the readers are tying the knot with their first love. Mr. CC is my first everything and I am often told how weird that is, so it'd be nice to hear that there are others out there! (I didn't have a boyfriend until I was 18 because I was too scared to bring anyone home to my overprotective pops haha).

    I wish I could have found the right person the first time around, but the truth is that I needed lots of significant others to figure out how to be a good significant other myself. :) Plus, my first boyfriend was a total tool.

    My fiance isn't TECHNICALLY the first guy i've dated/was my first boyfriend, but he IS the first guy I have said "I love you" to, been completely head over heels for, etc. In my head, he's really my first official boyfriend that actually cared a flying fig about me!

    Well, I haven't had lots (only one other boyfriend), but FI isn't my first boyfriend, unfortunately (I wish I could say he was). He was my first kiss, though, and he'll be my first in everything else :-)

    My husband isn't anywhere near my first boyfriend and I am no where near his...yet we have been toether 20 years as we plan my daughters wedding.  Everyone says we are the happiest couple they know.  Sometimes you have to 'kiss alot of frogs' to find a prince.

    My fiance isn't my first boyfriend, but I'm his first girlfriend. I love when people marry their "firsts", but I am really thankful for my prior experiences--it makes me appreciate my fiance so much more.

    Where's the box to check for "a few". I dated a handful of guys before I met the DH. But we're talking 3 weeks for most, and the longest was 8 months when it should have been more like 4 months. I wouldn't say I've had "lots" of boyfriends...i didn't start dating til i was 17! We met when I was 18.

    Looking back though, he was my first everything "real" though. I can't say I felt much for those other guys.

    After my divorce, I dated my x college boyfriend (after about 2 years divorced) for several months and had we not had a long distance issue and a psycho xgirlfriend who was  a paralegal at his law firm, it could have been a go.  Both our families were thrilled.  He lived in Nashville and it was back and forth a while. 

    My sister however married her high school sweetheart.  They dated 2 years and then he went off to Ole Miss.  They broke up for a few years and she ended up there too.  She was serious with a baseball player from Miss St. , but somehow she and J ended up together.  Been married almost 16 years now and 2 kids and she just got the most gorgeous plat and diamond new engagement ring for their 15th last year!!!  they still go on anniversary vacations (quite romantic ones) every year.

    My fiance is my first for most... we are high school sweethearts.  People either love that we have been together for so long or think we are insane for still being together! Its so much fun and I couldn't imagine it any other way.  It is so special to have known him for so long and to have shared so many memories already!

    My husband was my first boyfriend. I dated and hooked up with other guys but he was my first real boyfriend. I wasn't his first girlfriend but he told me the other day he realized after he said he loved me for the first time that though he had told other girls he loved them, now he knows it was never real love. Awwww :)

    My FH was my second real boyfriend. I dated a guy for a couple of years, when I was 18-20. I was madly in love with him (and him with me, I think!) but it was a very dysfunctional relationship for a lot of reasons. I met FH about 6 months after that ended. Before I met my first boyfriend, and in those 6 months, I dated and had a good time and played the field, but no one I would consider serious (even though I thought they were at the time of course, don't you always when you are 17!) My sister just married her high school boyfriend and I think it's wonderful, I think they are so lucky to have found their "one" so soon, and not had to kiss all the toads like the rest of us! Having said that, I don't think that would have suited me - I think I was always going to need to know what else was out there. I like to think it made me the person I am, and it also makes me more appreciative of what I have now. Although FH and I have said more than once it would be nice if we'd been each other's first everything, instead of having the trial & error process we did :)

    Same here! The FI is my first boyfriend, ever. We've been dating for almost 10 years now and he's definitely one of the best things that have ever happened to me!
    Most people are just jealous (they tell me so!) that I found such a great guy, my soulmate, the first time around! =) A lot of pain and heartache saved! We're definitely one of the lucky ones!

    Thank goodness I didn't marry any of my ex boyfriends before meeting my husband. He feels the same way. But, without those relationships, we would have never found each other, nor would we appreciate each other as much as we do!

    Yup! We have only ever dated each other, since my senior and his junior year of highschool.  It was never a big deal to me or my FI but my dad always got on me about all the other fish in the sea!

    I wish! But he is 7 years older than me, so when were teens, early twenties, it just wouldn't have worked. And we are both in our 30's so we've both been around the block a time or two. But I can say without any reservation, he is my first love. I thought I was in love before but I now realize what love is and I found it in my fiance.

    We are not each others first, or second... or third... it took us awhile to find each other but I am so glad we did. I think what we learned in our past relationships has really helped us with our relationship today. We actually talk about what went wrong in the past and how can we overcome it and work together to make our relationship rock solid.

    Oh my, no.  But I'm so glad that I had a sometimes awesome, sometimes disastrous relationship with my first boyfriend to make a bunch of immature mistakes with before meeting my dude.  And I'm glad about the less serious relationships I had in between - once I met The Guy and saw how easy everything was, it was really, really clear.

    FI's not my first, but im HIS first. He was in the military and wasn't into dating for so long, but then I came along and changed it all....:) I love how he feels as though I was brought to him because he instantly saw me and knew he loved me. ( I on the other hand took a while to be head over heels)
