Oh my god - I cried reading that - soooo sweet!
I knew one day when I got off the phone with him - I don't remember what he said and I don't think it was anything in particular but I just knew!!!!
You have such a cute story there! Love it!
I think the moment I knew actually happened at probably a more awkward moment. It was about 2ish months after DH and I met. We were in my dorm room at college laying on the couch just chilling and talking. We were holding hands and he lifted up my left hand, touched my ring finger, and out of nowhere said, "I'm going to put a ring on this finger someday". Talk about freaking me out! We had only met 2 months before and he was talking marriage! It was kind of freaky! But after the initial shock wore off that he was already wanting to marry me, I knew that he would. And he did!
About three months into our relationship I got a terrible cold/flu. My dh came over and I was layered in clothes...sweats, an old sweater and an older bathrobe. I was lying in a recliner feeling like death...he leaned over and kissed me. "You are sooo cute' he said. I knew it was love and knew it would last forever.
one day while i was sitting in the passenger side of his truck, i knew that that was the best place i could ever be: sitting beside him on a country drive. it is still where i am most happy.
We had been dating for about 2 months. We hadn't made-out yet because he was just that much of a gentleman. I say it is because he was scared of me! LOL
Kidding aside we finally made-out not major make-out session but finally a kiss other then on the cheek. I remember thanking God for bringing him into my life and for making me the luckiest girl in the world!
I'm not the praying everyday/moment type person. I go to church about once every three months or so. So when I said my thank you to God... it made me really stop and think about why I had done that. I just knew that this was more special then any other realtionships I've been in.
B/c for all the years we were apart, it was his voice in my head, singing me to sleep every night.
Sweet stories, all! Mine was a little more tangible than yours, MissHelen ... we moved halfway across the country together and stayed happy. I knew he was great before that, but I couldn't stomach staying where we were, and when we successfully transitioned to a new city together, I knew we'd make it.
There were conversations and deep feelings shared leading up to this, but he told me the moment he knew was when he drove around ALL of southern california for HOURS one day just to find a dress from Macy's that I wanted to wear as a guest to a wedding. (he had to go to multiple Macy's to find my size - they kept re-directing him) and realized that although it was miserable, he truly wanted to do it for me. When he said that, i knew too.
MissHelen, what an awesome awesome story! I felt my throat choke up a bit...
I'd say my "moment" of realization was about halfway into our relationship, at the point where you really really have eachother down; you know the ins and outs, ups and downs, and quirks of eachother whether good or bad. I could put all the dumb stuff between him and I aside and still 100% truely mean the words that I had said to myself years ago after our very first date: that he was the most amazing person I had ever met in my entire life. I still say it, but now I just say how lucky I am to be with the most amazing person i've ever known in my entire life.
Welcome MissHelen!!!
When did I know? Our 3rd date. We went to the movies to see Juno. And we both laughed more than anyone else in the theater. Then we went to Steak N Shake and sat there until 2 am, talking and watching it snow. Neither of us wanted the date to end. Finally, he took me home we we had our first kiss in his truck. I kissed him and then made him promise to text me when he got home (he had a long drive). I could not sleep, I was so happy and the world just felt right. The next day he called me while I was at work and invited me over to have fire in the fireplace and watch a movie. From then on, we've been inseperable.
I love these stories, what a great thread!
I knew about a month and a half after we started dating. He was a groomsmen in his best friend's wedding, and while the dates of the wedding party were invited on the bus to hang out while the pictures were being taken. He was so proud to introduce me to his closest friends, and he was so attentive and sweet. We got to the hotel that night (our first overnight together) and there was a bottle of champagne (he knows how much I love it and he knew it wasn't being served at the reception) and homemade strawberry sorbet.
I am so blessed! I keep wondering what incredible thing I did in a past life to deserve such a man.
I love that hairband story! What a sweetie.
I don't know that there was ever a moment that I knew for sure. I think it was just that we kept spending time with each other, and I could see us being together forever, which hadn't happened before, even in other long-term relationships I'd been in. And I never changed my mind!
Those are all such great stories :) For the first birthday i celebrated after we were together we couldn't actually be together because it fell during the week and at that time he was working over-over time :) he came straight from work and brought me a wrapped package...when I opened the package I knew he was the one. He (somehow) tracked down a hardcover edition of my fav book (which had been out of print for several years). I love reading and he knew that a lil dream of mine was to have a library when i bought my very own house. when I read the card it said something about this being the first of our collection....i'm such a nerd lol!
Aww!!
I know it sounds cheesy... but I knew he was the one the first night I talked to him. He was unbelievably perfect, and he still is, only better. I am an artist, and he has been my biggest fan since day one and was so supportive and believed in me and understands me more and better than anyone else ever could... there are just so many things. It's just been this incredible intense feeling of being at "home" and "safe" and things just making sense since I first heard his voice. I just knew he was the one. There is no way that God made him without me in mind... I've just always known. :)
BAH! You mushy girls getting me all teary and off of my late dinner of awesome pork chops high! I was fat and happy, now I'm fat and sappy. lol
This threads reminds me... do you ladies know of the commercial.. ah, I can't think of the company, maybe some time of insurance i think? Anyway, it's the commercial where the guy finds this abandoned front door in an alley and he paints it red and puts it in the kitchen of his apartment, and the girlfriend comes home and she's like 'Uh, what the hell is this?" and he says something awesome like "it's a promise. you've always wanted a house and one day will have our own..." and then i bawl like a baby. I think they show it on TLC maybe? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?! Anyway, I love that commercial and that was probably her 'a-ha" moment. I know, a little strange, but this thread reminded me about why I love that commercial so much.
This is such a nice thread! I love your "now I know" moment, MissHelen -- how tender.
I didn't have a moment; there was a simple undertone that permeated our relationship from the beginning. The way we interacted, the surety I always had of his feelings for me ... it was different from anything I'd ever experienced before. They say, "When a man shows you who he really is, believe him." His truth was what I had been waiting for.
@ Miss Helen, that is an awesome story! You could almost give hair ties as favors to your female guests with the story on a little attached note - sure way to get them to cry! :)
I cannot pin point a moment when I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Mr. Paris. I just don't remember having a big revelation. I do remember the moment I realized I loved him though. We were at a bar with a group of friends that we were both part of. It was crowded and there weren't enough seats at our table, I was able to grab a chair, he was not. So his solution was to sit on my lap...Of course we then spent the rest of the night talking to each other. The music was very loud and so the only way we could hear each other was by talking directly into the other person's ear. So all night one of us would say something in the other's ear and then we would switch for the other person to reply. Basically it made for lots of cheek brushing and each time I got tingles up my spine...And I realized that he was more than just a friend to me.
I knew right away. I'd always been one that didn't believe in "love at first sight," but I became a believer when it happened. And it definitely wasn't just "lust" at first sight... there's no way to explain it really, but in just a few days I knew.
@ MissSheva I know what commecial you're talking about - State Farm I believe. Although I actually hate that commerical... what the hell are you supposed to do with big red door in an apt?
I knew he was the one when one night, I was being really grumpy (PMS) and he hugged me for a minute and then looked in my eyes and said "What is wrong? You can tell me anything." And so I told him I was PMSing. He was like "Oh, why didn't you tell me?" And I was just like "I didn't think you'd want to hear about that." And he just kissed me and then gave me a full body massage with Stress-Release Lavendar lotion. :)
Welcome Misshelen! Great story :)
also,
@tessabella your story made me tear up! you guys sound a lot like me and my FH...
I knew sitting in a car after only a few dates :)
I knew the first time I spent the night with my FI, and the next morning he told me how cute I was-morning breath and all. lol.
I can't tell you exactly what made me realize. There are a lot of moments that stand out at the begining of our relationship that made me realize he was not like other guys. I had been hurt pretty bad a few times and it just felt like every time one of those things happened I had to stop and think "wow, he's so good to me". I didn't have an actual "ah ha" moment but remember when he decided to drive me 6 hours home to meet his mom and sister after about 3 1/2 months my mom commented that "he must be serious" and it wasn't really a surprise or shock to me. Looking back I can only imagine what his mom and sister thought. Mr. S driving 6 hours in the middle of the night to bring me to stay at his house for a weekend. (I got to sleep in his old room while he slept on the couch & see his little boy silly pictures!)
It was not a defining moment. At 30, I had my fair share of dating experiences. I read some silly email forward about how the right man will never make you cry. He was the only one to never make me cry, always put me first from day one. I never had to strategize in the relationship, it was easy and just worked. I can totally count on him and trust him. I can be myself and never be judged. Every morning, we snuggle to the alarm and he tells me he loves me and is so happy he gets to hold me forever.
this is hard for even me to believe but i knew from our first kiss that he was the boy i was going to marry...we'd known eachother and been friends all thru college and then one night we kissed and that was it. game over. i remember the moment so clearly!
What a sweet story!
I didn't realize it, my best friend did. He was deployed in Iraq and slated to come home in December. Sometime over the Summer my best friend and I went out for some drinks. We walk into a bar, and I see him, standing with a girl and drinking a beer. Except, it wasn't him. It was his twin brother and his fiance. For the split second I let myself believe it was him, I froze and my face turned white. My heart jumped into my throat. After I shook the feeling off we went over and talked to them, for quite a while. I don't remember what we said, but I remember grinning from ear to ear. When they walked away, my cousin turned to me and said "you just talked to your broooother-in-law!" And I said "yeah, I did." That was the first time I admitted to myself that he was the one.
that's adorable!
I knew husband was the one when, after meeting him, I started comparing my then current boyfriend to him. The X didn't compare!
We've known eachother was "the one" since before our first date, and it's been [mostly] bliss since then!

Hi Bees,
I'm a newbee and am lucky enough to be marrying the most amazing man on earth.
I knew that he was the most amazing man on earth (and for sure and certain that he was it) when I was getting ready for bed one night, and I was in the bathroom pulling my hair back so I could wash my face.
I had formed it into a bun and was looking for a hair tie when I felt his hand rest gently on the back of my head, holding on to the bun.
He said "go ahead, honey. I've got it".
Why yes, sir. Yes you do.
What was the moment that you knew that your FI was the one for you? Was it something small? Something odd? Something extraordinary?
Do tell!
