This is fantastic!! BUMP for later!! It's wonderful seeing so many happy couples!!

i love this thread!! i've even gotten teary over some of them!! i won't post pics either, i'm not signed up with any of the photo sites.

my husband's name is ryan and we're almost gonna hit our 1 year wedding anniversary. he is the most amazing guy. he's sensitive and considerate. he opens my door EVERY TIME! i LOVE it!! he loves me fiercely and would do anything for me. i trust him more than any other person i've known.

he also doesn't care if i lose weight or not, but he does care that i make my goals and i'm proud of myself. to make things even better he lost a lot of weight a few years before i met him so he's incredibly supportive and really understands my rough days.

p.s. we met tubing the river in our bathing suits drinkin' beer...classy!!!

I will be married for 7 years in July (together almost 11!!) to my amazing husband. My profile pic is of us and our oldest boy after he won his bracket in his first wrestling tournament. I believe with all my heart that the Lord brought us together and I love him with my whole heart. He works so very hard so that I am able to stay home and raise our three babies and I feel so blessed that he is my hunny. He is funny, brilliant, an amazing daddy and the best husband I could imagine. We are fairly opposite and we compliment each other in crazy ways. Where I am weak, he is amazing. Where he struggles, I excell. I could not imagine my life without him.

This is my best friend. We eat oh so good bad foods together. We go on adventures like driving around in circles in the car listening to music. We are lazy couch potatoes on the weekends. We go to the beach & stare at the waves. We talk about stupid stuff and laugh at silly things. We cook together, burn stuff together, still eat it and complain together.
We do everything together.
July 28th 2010, happiest day of my life!
I might not be doing this for him (doing it for me), but he supports me 100%

I have been married for over three years to an amazing husband and father. His family is his life, and I have never before or since met a man so dedicated. He stays at home with our daughter during the day while I work and then when I come home from work he goes to his job until midnight or so (he's a waiter, so sometimes more, sometimes less). It's been a crazy few years with the scheduling, but it works. He has infinite patience and is one of the most hopeful, positive people I've ever met. He lives to serve and inspire, and it shows every day.

It was more or less love at first sight, although we couldn't do anything about it for a month when the class he took that I was teaching was over

SO sweet!!!

Unfortunatley, we are also major foodies & love to cook. I've gained 15 pounds in 2 1/2 years and I wasn't where I should have been at that time! LOL

That sounds just like my hubby and me! We both gained 15-20lbs when we first met from all the yummy food we cooked and all the great farm-to-table restaurants in our town. Then, we both buckled down to lose the weight--and succeeded--but we started gaining again after a couple of years because we discovered pork belly, hog jowl bacon, and roasted bone marrow (which are all basically pure fat!).

My profile photo is Micah and me on our honeymoon to New York in July 2009. We got married at our favorite local restaurant, and then chose New York for our honeymoon for a lot of reasons--but delicious food was a HUGE one! We actually planned our itinerary around where we wanted to eat each day.

Now, we are on MFP together and supporting each other the whole way. Our foodie passions have actually been put to good use, too, because we both love to cook great food together! We just cook with a little less fat and a few more veggies than we did before. We are still eating really delicious food, but I'm now only 4lbs away from my goal weight, and he's only got about 8-10lbs to go. It's great having such a perfect hubby to cook and eat with!

bump - what an awesome thread

My fiance (soon to be husband in four days!) and I met in 10th grade, and we were NEVER friends. There was just entirely too much chemistry between us to just be friends. When we got too close, we attacked each other. If we weren't busy with THAT, and we weren't together, we would be so far away from each other it was ridiculous. We had our share of bad timing, and he's seen me go through a lot of crap and rescued me appropriately (abusive ex's), and I've seen him through a lot of crap (addictions, medical issues, losing 300lbs!!!), and I know it's meant to be. Why else would God have CONTINUOUSLY thrown him in my path, regardless of whether I was ready for him or not?

He's been here when I gained all my weight, and he'll be here when I lose it all. We're very much happy and very much in love.

I met Jose in 1996 and we instantly became the best of friends; he spent the next few years breaking down walls I wasn’t even aware I built. In 1999 I gave him a globe and with a marker I wrote on the globe “with the true love of the friendship she gave him the world.” He told me one day he would show me the world if I let him. We have been together ever since (married 4 years in August). I did not have an easy upbringing and although I always believed in fairytale I just did not believe they could happen to people like me. In 2007 we moved to Ireland, and true to his word he has taken me traveling all over Europe and even New Zealand.This whole time I have been over weight, one day I was telling him tired I was that I could not lose the weight and he asked me why I did not feel I was worth it (in the most gentle tone, that it actually made me think about what he was asking) That is when I realized I was scared to really try to lose weight because I felt like I had too much of a good thing and there was no way I could be thin too. I wish I could say that it was a real AHA moment and I lost 40 pounds in 3 months but it’s been a struggle for me but now I am aware of what I want and what I am afraid of. I would love to say this is all about me I am doing it for me and me alone but the truth is (if I am being completely honest) this 75% me 25% him, He has seen me at my weakest moments(and I have had a few) and now I want him to see me at what I consider one of my strongest moments if I can lose the weight I feel like There is nothing I can not do and that I have beat a battle I have had for as long as I could remember.

My fiance (soon to be husband in four days!)

Congratulations!
