Ok, getting sentimental again.....
We were dating for 2 months, we were both working (we worked at the same catering hall). He was cooking, I was waitressing, and he handed me a dinner order sheet that said he had to tell me something later.....I had no idea what it was about, and the only time I would see him was if I had to go in the kitchen to get a course. So he drops me off at home later that night at my dads. I was all sweatty in a full tux (uniform) and did a dramatic drop to the floor from exhaustion (joking around). He sat down next to me and said 'I have to tell you now'. I thought he was gonna tell me he was with someone else or something, so my heart was pounding. So he leaned up next to me, pulled my face towards him and said 'I Love You'. I almost died, and of course said it right back...THE REST IS HISTORY!!

Re: When and where did DH tell you he loved you for the first time?

We were dating for three months. It was Valentine's Day. We were in my living room on the couch and just exchanged cards and gifts. I was hoping he was going to write it in the card, but he didn't. We both felt it, and each one was afraid to be the first to say it.

So I broke the ice by saying, I was going to write something in your card, but I was afraid, too. He smiled the biggest smile and said, 'Me too.' So we laughed and then he looked at me seriously and said, 'I do, you know.'

Well, I wasn't going to let him get away with that! So I said, 'You do what?' and he said, 'I love you.' I said it too, and then we both talked and joked about how we wanted to say it for weeks, and how it was hard not to slip up and say it by mistake. It was sweet.

He told me he originally wanted the first 'I love you' to be special. He wanted to take me up to Vermont to a ski cabin and tell me in front of a roaring fireplace. What a softy!
