Re: Why do you want to get married?

i want to get married bc i can't imagine my life without FH. I want us to make that commitment to one another and to start a family of our own.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

he makes me laugh so hard i want to cry when i don't even want to smile! i can't picture a day without him and i can't wait to be mr and mrs

Re: Why do you want to get married?

We have been dating for just over 5 years now, it may sound cheesy but My FH makes me a better me and strive to be a better person. He has the biggest heart and I love him so much, I could not picture my life without him, and I know he feels the same way <3

Re: Why do you want to get married?

Even though we have been together for a while (6 1/2 years and living together for a year) it is still a romantic thing for us. We spent the majority of our relationship apart from each other -- I was away at school he was on LI, I studied abroad in Florence, he did not, I moved into the city after graduation...you get the picture). Still after all this time I get excited to see him walk in the door, call me at work, and hear his name. When he proposed, even though it was a 'surprise' all of our friends and family knew it was coming and was the logical next step, but for us it is Yell-off- the- balacony Monica and Chandler style I'm engaged! I'm engaged!! He is my partner and my support and I can not wait to become his wife.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

He is my first true love and my best friend. He knows me better then anyone, knows stuff about me that noone else knows and I can talk to him about anything. He's the first person I go to when I need advice, the person I think about everyday and all the time, even when I've just left him. He's my world and I'm his. He's showed me what unconditional love is through his actions every day. Above all, I also know he will be a great father which is so important to me. This will be forever for us and we will work through the good and bad. I also want to have a family with him and would like to be married before we do this.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

We've been together for almost 9 years, we really love each other so why not get married. And he puts up with my craziness and I put up with his crazy family, so it was meant to be.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

cuz he proposed .. duh lmao

hes great we have fun together ... and we love each other plus we live together for 2 yrs .. im not changing my last name so literally nothing will change

Re: Why do you want to get married?

FH and i really knew that we wanted to get married from the time we met....by 4 months into the relationship he told me he wanted to propose, but i was only 19, still in school, and my parents would have NEVER said yes to him if he asked back then...so we knew we'd wait. but i knew he was the one, we were alike in all the ways that mattered, and different in the ones that made our relationship so interesting, and fun! he treated me like no guy had ever treated me before, i really felt #1, special, and beautiful no matter what to him!

unfortunately, we had a few issues summer 2007, FH had a complete mental breakdown, for a multitude of reasons, i guess, and it had been interfering greatly in our relationship...i was the only one of family n friends that knew his behavior was because he was going through something, not because he didn't love me (not that it made it acceptable, i just didn't want to give up on him, or leave him, i wanted to help him) but FH was a VERY closed off kind of guy, NEVER opened up to anyone since his father passed away in 2000, so instead of admitting anything or letting me help, he shut me out, we broke up, and for a month, we weren't together.

i was trying to move on at a point, to appease my family, although i knew i would always love FH, but i had set up a 'date' with a guy i knew for a while, and that was the day FH called me saying he needed to come back. i wanted to give in soooo bad and cancel the date, but i told him 'tomorrow u can come back' because i didn't trust if he was out of it yet, or just playing w/my mind. i told FH he had to prove to me this thing was over and that he was ok and would go back to how we were before he changed and that i wasn't going to put my life on hold while he decided... i went on the date (the whole time only thinking about FH), and the next day, like i told FH to wait for, there were 2 dozen red roses and chocolates on my desk at work, and a note that said 'I told you i meant it, Ill pick you up at 5' and he did, he made me dinner, i DIDNT spend the night with him, but within a few days we were back together, and things have only gotten more amazing each day than the beginning when we first were amazing!

basically, after going through all of that, seeing that we were able to endure it, fix what had to be fixed, we both matured so much through that time, and now have been there for each other no matter what the situation, FH is 100% open with me always now, and it was all confirmation to me that what's meant to be is meant to be...

so we had to just wait another while so he could prove to my family that he was not leaving again, (FH was sooo scared to talk to my dad about proposing cuz of this lol) so while we planned to get engaged around May of 08, FH wasn't fully comfortable and confident that my parents trusted him again until December.

and THATS why we're getting married!! because we know that we are unwavering, steadfast, committed, in love, best friends, willing to do anything for one another, and can't ever imagine living ONE MORE DAY without the other person.

**i kinda just made myself cry...thanks stacey!! LOL**

That is such an amazing story. You are so strong and it is obvious just by this story that you are both meant for eachother... btw I cried to reading this too...

Re: Why do you want to get married?

great question stacey!

cuz he's all i think about all day and ive never wanted to care for a man like i want to care for him. and i know that he is the same way towards me and i always felt safe with him.
also i want kids with him but im too traditional so i need that piece of paper first.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

because I can't imagine life without him

Re: Why do you want to get married?

I cannot WAIT to get married!!!!!!!

FH and i dated for 3 years and from a few months in a knew he was the one. This is really bad but... i've cheated on 2 past bf's (they were asses) and i cannot cannot cannot imagine EVER hurting FH. It makes me sick just to think about it.

I am not big into the whole taking his name thing and am fighting it till the end but i'll end up giving in lol. I just feel such joy in knowing that i will be with him for the rest of my life. He is the ONLY person i can see having kids with and i too want to be married first.

oh yes.. and the party lol. j/k (kinda)

Re: Why do you want to get married?

This is a REALLY good question.

My FH is my dream come true, he's everything I have ever wanted and more. There is no one else in the world for me. We knew within 3 months of dating that we were going to be together forever. (Well that's the first time we SAID it to each other, we both knew within a month or so). That's the romantic part.

That all said, I think two people can live happily ever after without a wedding. We eventually want kids, but I wouldn't care if we were married or not- just as long as we were both ready. But we do WANT a wedding. There's the legal aspects of it all. And then there's also the idea of sharing this joining together of two people with all the friends and family, and that is very important to both of us.

Plus, I've been dreaming of my wedding since like, BEFORE I was born.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

I want to get married because he is my best friend and I know he has my back in everything.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

Jay is my other half. Before we got together I wasn't in such a great place, and I know it sounds corny but I prayed all the time for God to send me my Someone. And I truly believe that He did. When we met it was like I could hear the puzzle pieces locking together. I told everyone that I had met my future husband, no lie. We were friends for a long time before we dated seriously, and so we always remember that before we were bf and gf, or fiancee's, we were best friends first, and we know that we'll be continuing that in our marraige. I see him and I see my partner in crime, the father of our future children, and the love of my life. I want to marry him because I simply cannot imagine my life without him.

And I'm crying now, and this is why I WILL NOT be writing my own vows on my wedding day!!!!

Re: Why do you want to get married?

We have been together for 7 years and we have a child together and its time. Like many of you we are not getting married becasue of our overwhelming love for eachother ( even though we do love each other deeply). We have lived as man and wife for years and we want to make it official. I want to have the wedding to celebrate our love and the union of our families.

Re: Why do you want to get married?

i have to say I LOVED reading eveyone's stories!!!!

so swweet and amaazing!!

Great question!!
