How I did it: Let me tell you what. I never thought we'd get married. He was Mr. I'm-Never-Getting-Married and I accepted that. Did I hope he'd change his mind? Of course, but never thought he would.I think my most dumbfounded moment in life was when he proposed. And for being THEE most unromantic man I have ever met, he was SHOCKING romantic and poetic.I'll never forget it and I'll always have this memory and forever hold it fo… Read how I did it…
How I did it: He proposed on our three year anniversary and we got married three months after that. We started out as good friends in high school. He had a crush on me but I only considered him as a friend. A really good friend though. We became best friends and have been very close since age 116 or 17(we even went to junior prom together as friends). During our first year of college we didn't see each other as much but by the end of that school year w… Read how I did it…
How I did it: We found each other again after 10 long miserable years for both of us. We had been together and then drifted apart and neither of us put much effort into the relationship the first time. We were too young and too stupid to realize what we had. Read how I did it…
How I did it: We had been best friends since we were teenagers. Things got a little more serious as we got older and then finally we took a look at our lives and realized we didn't want anything else but eachother. We had the same values and faith and were crazy about eachother, and when you realize at the end of the day you can't possibly live without that person, and God's pushing you in their direction for a reason... Nothing else makes sense! We ha… Read how I did it…

How I did it: My dear friend convinced me to send an e-mail to a guy whose profile on a dating site caught her eye -- she thought he'd be perfect for me. We met and spent the next 18 hours together, enthralled. He asked me to marry him after four months of dating, and a year later we wed! He's the best guy on the planet (for me), and married life couldn't be better. Read how I did it…

I met my boyfriend Kyle 2 years ago, and we moved from friendship to a relationship almost a year ago. Unfortunately, hes 2 hours away from me right now going to college while I finish up high school. I know that no one is supposed to marry their high school sweetheart, but I will. Hopefully November 8th, 2016. Providing of course that the Myan calendar is wrong.
Jessica is hanging out at home.
I have already met him, and we have been together for a year next month, and as of this month we have lived together for 6 months. I know we will get married we talk about it casually, but im just waiting for him to get serious….I love him soooo Much and cant wait for that day. :)
I have been dreaming about this since i was 9! I am now 24 and i am not even close to finding the right guy. I hope my luck changes soon. I would like to be married and have kids with th love of my life in 5 years :)

i love, respect, and admire my boyfriend so much. he is honestly the best person ever. i’ve had some not so great relationships in the past and they have taught me to fully appreciate him! sometimes i think he is too good for me. but i also think i deserve someone better than me and as long as i know how to appreciate him we’re good!
Brandon proposed to me on Christmas Eve! We’re planning to get married August of 2010. How sweet life is! I often tell him that he’s everything I never knew I wanted in a husband. I never thought I would ever experience love like the one we share.
I had the love of my life, but lost him. Neither one of us realized what we had until it was too late. After 10 miserable empty years, we found each other and are now very happily married.

I am so in love with my boyfriend, we have had some rough times as we are currently living 2 hours drive apart.He treats me like a princess when he makes the drive each weekend he can.
I cannot wait to see what the future brings for us.
and, it’s a goal I think will happen. We’ve known each other for thirty years, though didn’t see each other for 20 of them, and weren’t particularly close. We weren’t romantically interested in each other, and in fact were each married (in fact, more than once) to other people. In each case, it was a disaster. We spent some time together as colleagues a few years ago, and I felt completely at peace whenever I was with him. I put it down to the relief of being near an old friend who understands me well, when I was in the wake of some tough life issues and a divorce from a severely abusive spouse. He seemed to feel I was a nurturing person who wasn’t trying to get anything out of him. We arranged a visit as old friends catching up, though we each thought privately we were open to it being something more if it went that way. Well it just fell into place. We’ve been a couple ever since that visit, 3 years in perfect harmony. He is absolutely perfect and I adore him and our life together. I feel our past relationships have made us extremely careful and serious about what partnership really means. We keep growing as individuals and as a couple and as parents, and are finding out about so many possibilities we can access in life as a team. An extremely beautiful and appreciated experience. I feel we will probably move to do something to formalize our relationship someday. It’s on my goal list because I feel there are some things I need to do first. I earn a lot less right now than my partner does, and I want to increase my income so I am a significant contributor to our household and our future. I don’t want to carry any old debt into our union (there’s not much of it, but I want it all gone). And, it’s on my goal list to continue to continue to open myself in trust to my partner, as well as to grow in the energy and dedication I have for being there for him. When we get to feeling ready, I’d like the recognition of being one family, one team, one name.
