    So we talk about place cards, dresses, etiquette, the perfect shade of ivory, but why are we here again?

    Lets have a rampage of appreciation for our future husbands. What are the top three-five things you LOVE about your fiance?

     

    I'll start:

    He's funny, smart, hardworking, has gorgeous blue eyes, has a nice family, is a foodie like me, likes the outdoors, has chiseled abs from rock climbing and surfing. He is incredibly loyal. :) Yay!

    My FI is also hard-working, caring, and tolerates me running a feline sanctuary! Not everyone can handle this many cats! If my cats didn't love my FI, I wouldn't consider marrying him!

    He's incredibly loving and affectionate and never jealous or possessive.

    I respect him in so many ways: he's smart, athletic, driven, action oriented, outgoing, trustworthy, and emotionally open.

    He balances out my personality and makes me want to improve on myself. 

    Our core values are very compatible.

    And this is just a total bonus: he's smokin' hot! 

    More than three, but whatevs!

    My FH is loyal, determined, and funny!  I'm not a serious person at all so it's nice to have someone to laugh with!  And he just lets me be me.

    It's hard to put into words. He has so many amazing qualities that I feel like a list would never accurately capture the many reasons why I am marrying him. I suppose when it comes down to it, it not only feels right, I also know objectively that he will be a wonderful husband. He's considerate, intelligent, creative and so so loving. And he's an awesome bunny daddy.

    He is my best friend.  He has his grandmother's laugh and his sense of humor is the best.  His eyes are the color of coffee and he is one of the few people who really gets me.  He encourages my creativity and he is always up for a new adventure.  Sigh.....Why are you marrying your fiance? :  wedding love fiance future husband appreciation Icon Biggrin

    Yes, he is loving, affectionate, trustworthy, funny, smart etc etc.

    But so much more, he is the one constant in my life constantly supporting me, making me smile when I want to cry, laugh till I want to pee my pants :) and always looking to better OUR future. As each of us grew in our relationship not only togethor but individually, we fell in love all over again. I know I am ok being myself, good, bad or ugly and no matter what or who judges, he never cares. He has made so many of my dreams come true and was truly, as a Laylabelle put it, made for me. I could go on, but I am not good with short words and could write a book about all this boy has done for me and how madly I am in love with him. That is why I am honored and so blessed to be his wife.

    he is the only person who can put me in my place when it needs to be done without offending me.  he loves my twin bro (which is easy to do, but important to me nonetheless).  he makes me feel like a lady.  by this i mean that i am pretty much able to take care of myself in all ways and in past relationships i always felt more like a mom than a gf.  he is truly a partner.  lets me be my own person but takes great care of me.  he keeps me motivated when we run by telling me how great my ass looks.  he is gorgeous!  i could go on forever!

    This may sound trite, but it's true.  He changed my life.

    He makes me laugh

    He wants me to be safe.

    He is just as goofy as I am and embraces my goofy-ness completely.

     And finally, when I think about my life and where I want to be, I can't imagine a life without him in it.

    He's right for me. He hasn't just accepted me as I am, he helps me accept myself as well. He loves me with my faults most people don't tolerate. He complemets my introspective oersonality as he is an extrovert. He makes me smile and laugh at the end of a long stressful day. I can't imagine my life without him...the list goes on!

    He is the love of my life!  Really, we just "fit."  He is compassionate, funny, caring, talented, and genuine.  He is supportive but realistic and tells me when I am wrong and tells me "like it is."  I can be myself with him and he loves me for all I am. We also know that our relationship is not perfect by any means and know our strengths and weaknesses. I am truly excited to continue building my life with him!

    We have so much fun together. He is my best friend and the one person in this entire world that I know I can without a doubt count on besides my parents. He is objective about things when we argue and listens and actually considers what I tell him. We love the same food. He will lean and kiss me (not a tongue down your throat kind of kiss) at any given time and whisper I love you and smile. Love that! He is by far the most mature man I know despite the fact that he is younger than most people we know! He treats my boys with love and respect. His love for animals is endearing. Most importantly, I know that everything he does he does it with mine and the boys interests at heart. It is for our family as a whole, not for himself. The past 6 years have been and incredible journey and things have only gotten better!

    He's completely genuine. What you see is what you get with him. He's so loyal and has a personality that just completely clicks with mine. We're so different in a lot of little ways, but so oddly alike in the important ways. I just love the guy so much.

    He completes me (a-la-Jerry-Maguire) ... no seriously he's my other half. He wakes up in the morning with a smile on his face (most of the time!) and makes me a better person every single day. He knows me better then I know myself and he is able to bring me joy and happiness as well as understand when a hug is more necessary then talking. He deals with me and I couldn't imagine being without him. We are told time and time again how lucky we are to have each other, and that so many people "look up to" our relationship - I find that the most amazing part about "us" ... I love to be inspiring. I love him!

    He is sweet, super friendly and likeable, always calm and level headed and he complements me perfectly.  He always knows how to bring me up when I am down and also knows how to calm me down when I am freaking out.  I know with him that I will always be taken care of and that our life together will never be boring!

    I think I've never been in love before him...or at least not like this.  He's loving in a way I can only aspire to.  He's always the first to reach out to me if we disagree.  And he loves me no matter what, and he loves me through anything.  He's smart, he's funny, he's adventurous, he's completely laid back (opp. of me).

    How about we've just always been perfect. always. he has given me patience and time and love and compassion from the first day--and we always knew we'd get married, from day 1. sometimes you just know!

    Oh I love this thread!

    My reasons are: because he is caring, responsible, knows how to make me laugh, and loves my family as well.  We're opposites in some aspects of our personalities but this makes for such a great balance.

    He's a kind, caring, responsible, smart person. He embraces my childish/silly side, and becomes part of it. I've never been able to show my "true" self to anyone (besides my sister and a couple friends) but him. I srsly belong in the silly house sometimes. :P He takes care of me, and looks out for me. He is also level headed, likes to think things through and patient. I'm the opposite.

    1) He's my best friend. We're not exactly the same but he's the cheese to my maccaroni. We balance each other out and compliment each other.

    2) He makes me laugh. I think he's pretty hysterical sometimes and I have an off the wall sense of humor and he gets that.

    3) We have the same values/morals and we want the same things out of life.

    4) He let's me be me (and loves me for it!). I'm anal, I sing off key all the time, I laugh at my own jokes, I'm a bit of a nerd, and I laugh really loudly but he digs it all.

    I wouldn't even know where to begin, so I'll just say it's because he is everything that a real man and partner should be.

    Yayyy for this post! Sometimes it's so easy to take our men for granted, and they really are such great guys. So I love the opportunity to stop and think about this. OK so my reasons are:

    I feel we bring out the best in each other. And he's such a good person-- I really admire his values, and I honestly believe admiration and respect are key elements in a relationship. He's so smart, level headed and down to earth, I feel we complement each other (haha though I think I'm smart too!). He loves me for who I am-- no need to pretend to be someone I'm not when he's with me. He's so loyal & compassionate. He's kind, funny, great around kids, likes my family and v/v...

    OK,  now I think I'll go kiss him Laughing

    -because 4 years after our first meeting, i still break into a smile every time i get a text message from him

    -because of the way he groggily kisses my forehead when he momentarily wakes up at 3am

    -because he is patient with my faults and makes me want to strive to be a better person

    -because when he's playing with other people's children, i see the incredible father he will one day be

    -because he is my partner in crime and because i feel safest and in his arms

    -because i am more myself with him than with anyone else

    -because he is Korean but is leery about doing this Korean paebaek ceremony because he worries it might be too patriarchal for me (despite the fact that i'm okay with it)

    Oooooo good one! Like everyone else, there are a million reasons: He's kind, generous, cute, smart, funny, he turns off WoW when I get home, and he loves me so, so much.

    But aside from that, the reasons I'm marrying him are as follows:

    1. He's my home.
    I could be having the worst day, and still everything is all right once I walk into his waiting hug.

    2. We appear to be psychicly linked.
    I can't tell you how many times one of us has quipped "I was just thinking that" or has simply done something the other person was thinking of (turning off the AC for example). Not such a big thing, except we've done this as long as we've known each other.

    3. He enjoys touching me.
    He loves stroking my hair at night or caressing my arm when we're snuggling on the couch and I LOVE that.

    4. He's given me new perspectives on my family/he likes my family.
    I never used to get along with my sister. Since he's been in my life, things have gotten better and better. And he enjoys being around my parents!

    5. We have zero interest in keeping secrets from each other.
    He really is my best friend. It's cliche, but it's not like anything I've ever had before and I know that if there's anything going on with me, he knows, he understands, and it's okay. Same with me for him.

    Wow, that was long. And yet not long enough!

    My fiance is my best friend. No one understands me like he does, no one makes me laugh like he does. I have never enjoyed another person's company as much as I do his.

    He's a stable foundation. He wants us to have a secure, happy life together and is working hard to provide that for us. I never thought I was very traditional, but the provider in him is a huge turn on. It's a reminder that our family will always be a top priority for him.

    I know relationships shouldn't "complete" you, but I really feel like all the puzzle pieces of my life, my future, my relationships with those I love -- they all fell into the right places when I met him. I feel so peaceful and happy about my entire life now. It all makes sense, and its really because of him!

    Well I'm still a lady in waiting... but here are the reasons why I want to marry him when the time comes (i.e I've been told I'm not allowed to do the asking!).

    - because nobody else I've ever met can make me laugh so hard

    - because he does housework on his day off while I'm at work

    - because he understands we're a team, and we work together not against each other

    - because he gave up his military career and moved to the UK just so we could be together

    - because i can't imagine living one second of my life without it being joined to his... eventually!

    - because he's strong, determined and committed

    - because we share the same values and hopes for the future

    - because I love him ;-)

    He is the funniest person I know, accepted my crazy family which included 32 cows, 6 dogs and a cat,  he is stronger, tougher than me and puts up with all my crap, amazingly loyal and the icing on the cake....he gave up meat and became a vegetarian!

    He is super affectionate and loyal. 

    He is so much fun - he has a great sense of humor and completely lights up when he thinks of something funny.  We also have fun learning new things with and from each other. 

    He has amazing conflict resolution skills (a really important skill in a relationship) and loves to learn how different people think. 

    After nearly two years, I still find him smoking HOT and think he has a great booty.
