    If you've heard the song "You had me from hello" by Kenney Chesney, well then that's what it was like for me and my husband. We met on August 2nd 2003, online started chatting and decided to get together that night. The moment he walked in I knew I was going to marry him. Odd, but I knew. We went out for five days straight, (he's a truck driver and was home, he left after 5 days). On the third date he met my family, the fifth date, I met his.

    He went back on the road for 3 weeks, we talked non-stop. When he got back home he told me he loved me, and we shopped for rings. He went back on the road for 3 more weeks, and when he got back the next time, he proposed. That was September 21, 2003.

    We would have gotten married that December, but with my job (retail) and his, we couldn't make it work. So we got married the following March 2004. We have now been together 9 years, and next March will have been married 9 years. I love him more today than the day I met him. Disclaimer, it's not like it was all roses, we had to learn how to "fight fair" and how to compromise. He is still an otr truck driver, and I'm still in retail, this combination makes for an interesting home life, but it works for us!

    I met my boyfriend at school when I was 14 and he was 16. I'd always felt awkward around boys and sort of had to grab their attention (unsuccessfully) but with Sam (who was - and is - gorgeous) it was so natural. We became best friends and then just after my 15th birthday he 'asked me out'! Unfortunately, his best friend had also liked me so there was a bit of a drama there... They all said it wouldn't last but we knew that this was something special so he stuck with me. His friends didn't speak to him for a couple of years which was horrible but we were together and that's all that mattered!

    So here we are, about to hit our 7 year anniversary! His friends got over it and we're stronger than ever! We've moved in together, travelled the world twice, gone to university together... And many adventures are still to come!

    First date. We were both 22. I saw him walk towards me, bandy legs & all, & that was it.:laugh:
    TBH I didn't think it would last, we lived too far apart. But this year we had our 22nd wedding aniversary, so we must be doing something right!:smile:

    First date. We both knew. Second date 5 days later she asked me to marry her.
    We dated 2 years, married now 35 years and going strong.

    Similar for us, I popped the question after a week (second date) was accepted, and we have now been happily married for 40 years, all bar a couple of weeks.

    Happy hubby

    I have found best after breaking up with someone, well just based on the last breakup.. No Contact at all is good I haven't emailed, texted him.. he will be hating that right now.. as he wanted to keep me in his life.. as they do. Best thing is to get away far away and heal and move on. Life's too short to share it with idiots.
    I have to agree with that 100%

    We both knew the night we met but we were friends for several months and dated for three months before getting engaged. Married 6 months later and we've been married for 19 years.

    Met Nov 4th 2011
    First Kiss Nov 8th 2011
    Became official bf/gf November 22nd 2011
    Said I love you November 29th 2011

    Went ring shopping February 2013... I couldn't be happier and am anxiously awaiting for him to ask me to be his wife.

    We both knew after the first two dates that we wanted to be together. He told me he wanted to be with me forever in February of 2012 at a friends birthday dinner. I officially knew in July of 2012. He was there for me during the most difficult event in my life (the death of my mother) and showed me what love really is. I could see he was scared but he never left my side. I know we can work through anything God sets in our path. I can't imagine being in love with a better man.

    Met on a church trip- June 2006 He was 16, I was 14, all I remember is him, his brother, mutual friend, and I doing (well, my case attempting) chin-ups in the church gym
    Late 2007-Early 2008- Worked together at McD's, had no idea who each other was (nice, huh?)
    November 2010-the wonderful Facebook comes into play. He sent me a message and we immediately started talking and texting
    January 2011-We finally met (again), he got me a job at Wal-Mart on 3rd shift with him.
    May 2011-We break up (for 2 days haha), priority issues on his part, get back together, and I move in with him and his family late May
    June 2011-We buy "promise rings" for each other, a few days after that, he proposes on a camping trip
    August 8, 2011- We get married by notary public (at a car lot of all places! :blushing: )
    September 2011- We learn I'm pregnant with our first child

    Married within 8 months of reconecting on Facebook, have been married for almost 2 years, together almost 3, and with a 10 month old little girl. Yeah, life is good. :laugh:

    How soon after dating your guy/girlfriend did you know that he/she was the one you wanted to be with? And are you guys still together now (how long have you guys been together?)

    I knew within about 3months.... Took him about 18 months (we split up within that time) but we're married now (together 5 years married 10 months) so alls well that ends well!

    About a month after we began dating we knew this was going to last a long time.
    2.5 years later it's still true. We are very committed and working towards marriage. We act like we are married, but we are just too young for the whole wedding thing.

    By the end of the first date we were smitten. Haven't been apart since. Nearly seven years and two children later we're still going strong.
    He annoys the crap out of me though. :wink:

    We met on a blind date. Two mutual friends introduced us. We talked on the phone for 4 hours the first night he called me. First date was awsome, 2nd date I knew there would never be anyone else. 3 now grown kids still madly in love with him, he's my best friend! Talked the first time on Thanksgiving first date that weekend, got married 6 months later. It's been 25 years and we are best friends, I love him more now than when we met! :smooched:

    My husband and me meet when we were 18 and we married less then a year later. We've been married for 10 years in Jun. He said he knew I was the one he wanted to married when he first saw me. :D I knew there was something special about him the first time I meet him.

    knew the first time I saw him I wanted to be with him lol. Ask him to marry me after talking to him for 5 minutes and we've been together 9, almost 10, years now lol. I'm 24 so knowing at 14/15 might seem crazy to some, but it worked out for us =).
