    You don't find love, love finds you!

    It was the day after Christmas 2008 at Winter Place Ski Resort in West Virginia. Corrin was enjoying the second day of her family’s Christmas ski trip when it started to rain. She took shelter in the lodge with her family and noticed a group of guys laughing and drinking beer at the table next to her.
    When the rain had passed and she was making her next run down the mountain she heard someone yell out to her from the ski lift and recognized the same group of guys that had been in the lodge. Corrin politely waved and made her way down the mountain to meet her mother and step sister for their next ride up the lift.
    Once she reached the top of the mountain Corrin was shocked to see the group of snowboarders watching her exit the lift. Flustered by the attention she quickly turned down the mountain and mistakenly took the black diamond run at a much quicker speed than she had intended resulting in a massive wipe out at the bottom of the slope.
    Laying in the snow, embarrassed and cold, she began to get up when she heard the sound of a snowboard coming down the mountain quickly behind her. Next thing she knew the guy from the lodge had swooped down to pick up her ski pole but had lost his balance and was now at her feet smiling up at her with a goofy smile.
    Corrin quickly realized his full cameo ski outfit and with a history of dating military guys rolled her eyes and sarcastically asked, “Army, right?” “No” the guy replied still smiling. “Marines?” Corrin guessed again. “No, my name is Jimmy and I’m in the Air Force,” he said with a smirk. “Well thank you for getting my ski pole,” Corrin said as she helped Jimmy up from the snow. For the rest of the day the two enjoyed the slopes, laughing and getting to know each other.
    Who would have thought that you could find your soul mate by picking them up on the slopes?

    Sometimes "the one" lands right in front of you.

    My Fiance is my other half. I know almost everyone else says that, but in my case it is really true. Brian is my best friend, my shoulder to cry on, my punching bag when I'm upset, my biggest fan, my support system, and more importantly my fiance. I have been through a lot in the last year; going back to school for a career change, having surgery, having family problems, the list can go on. Through it all Brian has been there. He has let me compelelty lose it on him, scream at him, throw a pillow at him, and through all of that he still grabs me and hugs me and tells me everything will be ok. I know he is my other half because he is what I'm not. When I'm weak, he tells me I'm strong. When i'm stressed, he helps me relax, and when I'm crazy, he tells me to cool it. He will always be there for me, and for that I am more thankful than anyone could every know. My Brian is my prince charming. I have never felt so lucky than whenever I think of the fact we get to be together forever. Brian is my everything, I love him more than I ever thought possible, he is so wonderful to me I don't even think he knows it! When I saw this contest I really care if I won or not. I have classes every weekend anyway so I wouldn't be able to go anywhere, but I really just wanted to put down in words how my Brian really is the one. My only one, my fiance.

    I know my Fiancé is “the one” because every day he does whatever he can to make me happy.  He is supportive in all my life and career decisions to the point that he took on all financial responsibilities (rent, cable, groceries, phone, etc.) while I worked at unpaid internships to get the experience I needed to complete my required Practicum from Graduate School.  I am so excited to be sharing my life with someone like him and cannot wait to start our life journey together.  I’m looking forward to becoming a team, traveling the world together, buying our first home, and starting a family.  I know he is the one because he is one of a kind and the most honest, self-less, kind-hearted man I know.

    My fiance is the one!

    How do i know this? Well i have known him for 16 years and we grew up together. Our parents lived about 5 houses down from each other.  We lost touch after high school and met back up at our local watering hole. I was going through a rough patch in my life and he was there for me every step of the way. We have been together now 3.5 blissful years and plan to be married on 4/20/2013. I cannot imagine my life without this wonderful man who would do anything for me.

    Oh did i mention our song for our first dance is "Marry me" by train. How perfect is that!!! Pick us please!Laughing

    my fiance is "the one" because he does everything in his power to make me happy and has been serving in the united states army for almost 3 yrs and even when im states away or even when hes over seas hes still putting a smile on my face. i dont think i could of asked for a better fiance then that. him serving our country is what makes him the most amazing person in the world to lay his life down for everyone is just the greatest feeling . A whole yr while he was gone in iraq was the scarest moment in my life not knowing whats going to happen next but yet he told me everytime i talked to him " im coming home to you i promise&never leaving" hearing them words meant so much to me and 18 months later he came back. i dont think you would ever find someone who has enough courage as my fiance does to be on the front line for the united states army. hes such a blessing to me & my family. i couldnt ask for a better person then him. thats why i think "hes the one"

    Sergiy is the one for me for so many reasons, but I knew it was going to be forever when he came to visit me every day when I was in the hospital for approximately a year. Vising someone in the hospital is utterly exhausting and depressing yet through it all, he smiled and stayed strong. He came to visit me EVERY DAY. I can tell his love for me is genuine and he always makes me feel safe. He doesn't tell me he loves me everyday like some men, but he sure does show it every single day. If I'm sick he'll run out and buy groceries to make sure I've got enough to drink/eat. When I'm running late in the morning and my car is parked on the wrong side of the street, he'll go out and move my car. When it needs to be serviced, he'll take it in without me knowing. When I was diagnosed with System Lupus a month after we got engaged, I was told there was a high probability that I wouldn't be able to carry a pregnancy to full-term. When I told him, he held me in his arms and let me cry. And all he said to me was: "I love you and you're enough."

    Through sickness and health before saying "I do"!

    My fiance is the only one consistently on my side.  We've been together for almost 6 years and I have been through A LOT!!  I've had reconstructive surgeries, multpile dislocation(a new one about every month), dog bites, and new medical diagnoses.  Through all of this he has been with me!  Recently I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and he knows I am only going to get worse with time.  Even knowing that, he got down on one knee and asked the best question ever to be asked in the history of time!  He takes care of me on days when I cant get out of bed, and he makes sure I dont over do it on my good days!  He really is my lifeline, because without him, I'd have NO reason to get out of bed everyday!

    We're not perfect, but we're perfect for each other!!
    My finace is "the one" because he knows I am not perfect, yet is so loving, forgiving, and supportive.  Everyday, he makes me want to be a better person.  Not just at love, but at everything I do in my life!  Everyday when he wakes up, he kisses me, hugs me, and says I love you...even if we were in a disagreement the night before.  Hi is my best friend and he can make me laugh like no one else can.  We love to spend time together and have such a great friendship.  We have our own language and mannerisms that only each other knows about.  We have known each other for almost 10 years now, and have been dating for a little over 3 years.  In this time, we have been through alot and have always been there for each other and helped each other through the good and the bad.  I can't tell you how lucky I am that I found my soul mate!  I can't wait to marry him

    Where would you like me to begin?  I met my future husband back when I was in the 4th grade and he was in the 5th grade.  We became the best of friends back then.  Never dated in school however, I always loved him and he always had the girlsfriends as he was the "good looking jock".  In the 7th grade he would call me every night and we would fall asleep on the phone just talking about anything and everything.  The last time I saw him was my Freshman year, one of my last nights out with my friends.  He stops us and tells me to get in the car with him and my exboyfriend.  He just didn't like the girls I was riding around with.  27 years later we find each other on facebook.   We talked for a couple of days about how the years have passed, and so on.  On the Friday night I told him how  told my daughters of the story of how we fell asleep on the phone.  When he hung up the phone he went and got his annual.  He looked me up and when he realized who I was he called me back and said that he remembered who I was and he would be down to see me the following weekend.  Since seeing him June 19, 2009 that connection was still there.  He has given me everything that I have ever needed.  My best friend, my confident and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with him.  We are getting married June 18, 2011, which will be 2 years from the time he first came to see me and not to mention my mother's birthday who passed away in 2004.  This has been a dream come true.  The surprises that he gives me, the happiness that he gives me, these are things that I never thought I would ever experience! 

    This is why I feel that he is the one!

    "The One". Hmmm...Words can't even explain this. Let alone can I type these words in a way that would explain my love for him.  Christopher (my fiance) means more to me then life itself.  I know that sounds cliched..but it's absolutely true.
    He makes my heart pound. He makes me tingle from head to toe.  I still get dizzy when we kiss. He takes care of me, as I do to him. He leans on me as I lean into him.

    No other "one" could ever be "this one".

    A few months ago, when the new Train song "Marry Me" came out...I turned it on and told him that we should have this song as our "first dance" song at our wedding (26 days away). He grabbed my hand...pulled me into the middle of our livingroom and began to slow dance with me. Holding each other tight..with excitement in my chest and tears in our eyes...I knew He was the One, as well as the Train song :)

    Life is too short. We cherish each and every moment and live it to it's fullest. And a moment like this...to be able to see (and meet) Train perform live and to hear that song LIVE, would be a truly cherished moment for the rest of our lives.


    <3 Thank you

    My fiance, Corey is the one, because: he kisses me good morning, and tucks me in at night. He washes the dishes after I cook, even though he's tired, too. He's my friendly opponent in Scrabble, my partner in crime. He laughs at my jokes, even when they're not funny. He makes breakfast for 6 in bed, even though there's only two of us (he's learning). He was okay with the wedding colors being purple, when his favorite color is blue. He made me like the LA Dodgers, and Coldplay, too. He's taken me to concerts, plays, a carriage ride, and across the country. He got me an autographed Nick Lachey CD, from the concert he took my younger sister to. He's the one because he proposed unexpectedly, in Philadelphia in the summer, and asked my dad's permission first. He's the one because he loves me for me, whether I understand what's going on in a golf or baseball game or not. He's the one I catch myself thinking about, who has been my best friend for five years. He's the one I can't imagine life without, who can't eat too much chocolate, and has an obsession for The Office and unsweetened iced tea. He's the one, because of all of those reasons, and just...because.

    My fiance and I are best friends. We do everything together. Whether it's grocery shopping, cooking, or exploring new places together we always have fun. He constantly makes me laugh and when I am in a bad mood, he always knows how to bring me out of it. He is very passionate about life and I love getting the chance to experience things with him and learn from him. Our lives crossed paths 2 years ago when we were both on vacation in New Orleans. During our long distance relationship, every time we were together felt like vacation and I never wanted to end.

    Fun fact: I heard "Marry Me" on the radio 3 or 4 days in a row before the proposal and that night while he was driving us to the destination of the proposal, the song came on the radio again. It was fate that he would propose, even though I had no idea it was going to happen. Everytime I hear "Marry Me" I tear up, reminiscing on the proposal and knowing I get to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and love.

    Dana's Side of The Story...

    imagewww.mywedding.com/calebanddana/images/007.JPG" alt="Dana's Side of The Story..." />

    I vaguely remember every single time that my path crossed Caleb’s over the last five years, and it’s so interesting that I remember feeling drawn to him. At the very least, I was always curious about him. Through our dear friends, Shannon and Merle, we hung out socially yet it was sporadic, we officially met five years ago yet I only knew him as “the cute one with glasses.” It had been a long time since I had seen him, since I was disconnected and focused on graduate school, until their son Ryder’s 1st birthday party. His friends were talking about his band’s first show in Littleton, and I remembering marking that date in my brain. Apparently at this point, Caleb was outside getting the pep talk to ask me out, but he didn't on this day.

    Something made me remember that date, and something made me want to go to the show that night. And, so I did. The first time we really connected was at The Old Mill. We had time to talk that night after his set, and later he asked me to go out sometime. Our first date was on February 28th, at Dazzle Jazz Club, downtown Denver.

    He picked me up outside of my loft in the city, and we went into the performance room, where the etiquette is to quietly listen. We probably said to each other ten times, as we tried to have conversation, “I just want to talk to you.” So we finished our meals and heading where it was not so formal. It was the easiest thing I have ever felt. I picked next, and took him to Altitude, a bar/restaurant which overlooks the city of Denver. We sipped a drink, and we talked and talked, it was easy and at times silly, we talked spirituality, our upbringings, our families, having kids, our goals in life. We talked about everything until the lights were turned on at 2a.m. and the bar was closing. Time flew. We kissed on the street, 17th and Stout, and said goodnight, and then we ended up talking on the phone during his entire car ride home. From there it was a series of dates, cooking at my place, having sushi, oh and the guitar (melt). Caleb played and sung, and a month later was singing and playing songs he wrote for me.

    Before we knew it, it was time to leave to go to California. I promised him I would wait. I knew I would, and there was nothing else in my life that I had ever been more positive about. So began our 7 months of phone conversations, writing in journals, writing and playing music over the phone, visiting one another, and getting to know one another on a lot of levels, building our foundation for our life together. Since then, we have bought a beautiful house, and created our life in Colorado together. It was easy, felt natural, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. When I think about Caleb, I think about marrying my best friend. I am grateful for my journey to Colorado, and my windy path that lead me straight to him.

    My fiance is my rock - he helps to keep me grounded, when everything seems to pull me apart into a million pieces in every direction.

    My fiance is my smile - he can make me laugh with some impression or another, or some silly reference that only I find amusing, and no-one else.

    My fiance is my knight - he protects me from the dangers of the world, both real and imagined.

    My fiance is my prince - he whisks me away to lands near and far, away from wicked witches who sometimes aim to do me harm.

    My fiance is my fashion consultant - giving an honest opinion, even if I may want him to stretch the truth just a bit.

    My fiance is my personal chef - he caters to my very limited and annoyingly picky palette. 

    I love him for his strength, and vulnerability... his machismo, and his sensitivity... his smile, and his tears...

    I feel lucky to have found him, and hope to make him happy for the rest of our lives.

    Well Jason is my only fish in the lake. I say this because he is an avid fisherman. I knew he was the one when I wanted to spend my life with him by my side and have children with him. Since the day we met he has always supported me in anything that I do or want to do, (so long as I didn't hurt myself or others.. haha). He has made me want to be a better person and has gotten my family and I closer to each other. Jason has also made this city kid into an outdoor, take life by the horns woman. He completes me in every way possible, as corny as that may sound. He still gives me those chills down my spine when we kiss and those butterflies when he surprises me with dates. I love my fiance very much and cannot wait for the day we stand across one another and say, "I DO!" Smile

    He's everything that I'm not. He's all the best parts of me but none of the worst. He's nothing like "my type" of guy, but he's better than I could have ever dreamed about. That's why I know he's the one for me.

    A Beautiful Wreck

    I knew my Fiance was "the one" from the very first date. I met my fiance through a dating service so our first date was more like a blind date. We did the normal dinner and a movie date but it was only normal in those terms only. Dinner went well, we talked and laughed and it honestly felt like we knew each other forever. The movie part however did have a small hiccup which told me right then this guy was the one for me. Let me explain. He let me pick the movie so I selected Yes Man because I knew from dinner we were both Jim Carey fans. The movie theater was packed being a Saturday night and Yes Man being just out in the market. The movie was hilarious. There came a point in the movie as it was going along when Jim Carey just blurted out a very funny line. It was so funny and so unexpected that my Fiance, who was in mid sip of our goldpeak green tea, he spit the tea out, spraying the 2 gentlemen in front of us. My poor fiance was so embarrassed, the 2 gentlemen just laughed it off and I chuckled. It was right then and their I realized that not only was this guy good looking, funny and charming, with a huge heart, he was just as imperfect as I was. I love that about him and about us. We are so great at being imperfect together. I remember I took his hand that night during the movie, rubbed his arm and snuggled closer and I haven't let go since then. When you can find someone who you can love for all their imperfection and who loves you for yours its just an amazing thing. Together I would say we are a beautiful wreck and loving every minute of it. That is how I know he is my "ONE".

    Maple syrup and DOMA. Yeah, that's strange, I know--but stay with me. We had been flirting online for quite a while (since 2007, actually), but as he lived in the UK we hadn't met. Finally I was going to make a trip over there, and asked if we could meet for a cider somewhere. He agreed. I asked if there was anything I could bring him from the states. His answer: maple syrup. [Do you know they put lemon and sugar on pancakes over there? Bleh.]

    Oh, yeah. Maple syrup. A man after my own New England heart.

    We met, had cider, and so on. The next trip was him trying to visit me. We had a bit of a volcano problem. But we persisted. When he finally arrived, we went to a diner in my neighborhood. For pancakes. With maple syrup, of course. We fell in love.

    I was hesitant to marry, because I always said I'd never take advantage of a right that is denied to my gay friends. But we can't be together otherwise. I explained this to him, and told him I'd marry if he promised me to help fight against DOMA if we did this. He agreed.

    Maple syrup and fighting DOMA. He's the one.

    The Perfect Match

    How did I know Guy was The One?

    We met one stormy December night. It was my Brthday and my date for the night had stood me up. I called a couple of people and went out anyway! There was a great band playing at our local hangout and my friend decided to have them announce my birthday. The singer not only announced it, he had me come up and play a blow-up guitar with the next song!

    For the rest of the night the sing sat with me and made me laugh at his antics. by the end of the night I was hooked!

    3 months later he asked my son's permission to marry me.  We''ve never been happier. We are a family!Kiss

    I know he is the ONE because I cannot imagine anybody else waking up next to each morning.  We have shared interest of travel and food, but also agrees to disagree on several things.  He respects my individuality, at the same time shows understanding to our differences.  He is not a perfect man but he is perfect for me.

    My Fiance is the one because not only is he my best friend but I grow more in love with him every day.  He is always putting others first and is such an honest and loving person.  I could not imagine my life without him and I am so blessed to get to spend the rest of my life with him by my side.  He is such a hardworking man and keeps his head up high in harder times.  He cares about his family more than anything and will do anything to spend as much time with them as he can.  He also is always showing me how much he cares in little ways every day, even after being together for five years already.  He always sends me random texts or facebook comments about how much I mean to him and he is always excited to send me flowers when he can.  (which I always tell him they aren't needed).  He listens to me better than anyone I know and cares about what I have to say. 

    When I see him or even think about it I can't help but smile inside and out.  He is so amazing and he is the perfect one for me.

    My Fiance Lights Up my Life!!

    First a little overview on how he proposed; my Fiance Christopher and I LOVE Christmas lights. We love to decorate the yard and watch people pass by to enjoy them. It was November 2009 and he was busy filling the yard with hundreds of thousands of lights, he was finally done and he asked me to come out and help with something. We walked to the end of the driveway and I turned around to find him on his knee and a sign in the front yard that read "Brittany Berscheid Will You Marry Me" in Christmas lights behind him. This is how he lit up my life :) We have been together for almost 6 years now and we plan on getting married on our 7th year anniversary. I can not fully express in words how Christopher is "the one"; I can say that he finishes my sentences, completes me, and laughs at my jokes but it is so much more than that. We met by fate and I knew from the moment I met him that he was the man I was going to spend the rest of my life with. He has always believed in me, he made me a better person, he has never given up on me, and most importantly he puts up with my family. :)  He says he knew I was the one when he looked into my eyes and could see the love I had inside; he realized he cared more about me than anything else. Sometimes when it's right, I guess you just know. Our wedding date is scheduled for August 24th 2012, and yes "Marry Me" is the song that will be playing during the unity sand where we will become one as a married couple. He told me he would get Train to come play at our wedding, that may not happen but if we would win this trip it would be something I could give to him since he has always given so much to me.

    My fiance is the one for me for so many reasons. He is truly everything I am not; my better half. He is level headed in tough situations, and gets me through the tough times in life. He brings me back to reality when need be. When I am down and out, he always makes sure I am smiling after a few seconds of being with him. He is everything I could ever ask for. We are literally two peas in a pod. My fiance cares more about my life than his own, which is the true meaning of unconditional love. I know he would do anything for me, and he knows the same goes for him. We both are very family oriented, which is so great, because we spend the majority of our time with each of our families. I know my fiance will take care of me through thick and thin. When I have weak moments regarding my father passing away, my fiance is the only one who can make me smile and realize that he is in a better place, looking down on us and smiling. I believe my father picked my fiance out for me from heaven, which is why we truly are a match made in heaven. He is the perfect man for me in every way, and feel so blessed that I have gotten the opportunity to spend my time with him now, and the years to come.
    The fact that this giveaway is for Train makes it even more special. Our processional, and our recessional song for both is "Marry Me" by Train, because we love the words, and it is such a sentimental song for us.

    Before we had every met he had a dream about me.  It involved my job and fruit.  When he met me and we started going out he was pretty sure I was the one, even though I spent the first date telling him all of my faults and problems.  He wasn’t scared away.  Three weeks into dating he told me he would die for me.  Finally everything in his dream came true.  When he told me after all the signs had been confirmed I was amazed and swept off my feet.  I know he is the one because he dealt with me for five months while I was 3000 miles away and was totally immature and lonely; when I stepped off the plane he was there and everything felt so right.  I knew that he if put up with me through all that, he would always love me and never leave me.  In that moment I knew I would marry him.  He hates fighting with me and hurting me.  He is considerate of my feelings and is the least selfish man I know.  We love the same nerdy things: Pokémon, cartoons, Teen Titians, farmville, superheroes, and fantasy.  We love to hike, be in nature, and be outdoors together.  He puts up with my obsession of horses and I put up with his obsession with Naruto.  He helps me be a better person ad we both work on ourselves so that we each have the best to offer each other.  We encourage each other in our faith, life, school, goals, and dreams.  Even though we have totally different majors in school we still push each other to take hard classes and to do the best that we can.  With him in my life I know that I can be the person that I want to be, accomplish my goals, and spend the rest of my life in bliss with him by my side.  Love is not just a feeling, it is a life style and I am living it to the fullest.

    My fiance is "the one." 
    When we first met there was a spark, but was apparently not meant to be at that moment, it took another year before we went on our first date.  I think we both had some living and learning during that year.  Jim will do anything for anyone. He is the sweetest and most caring person I could ever know.  We drive each other crazy sometimes, but who doesn't do that?? His proposal to me last year was absolutely perfect... I have the note framed on the wall.  We get married in June and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him!!!

    I don't have a long story, he just is.

    He's the one who keeps me level headed and who pushes me to achieve my goals.  He is sweet and kind and basically amazing.  And he puts up with me.  We're so different, but we complement each other perfectly, and he encourages my nerdiness while I encourage his normalcy.  I'm the epitome of science geek, and he loves it.  That was when I really knew.  When I transformed from normal student to science geek and he got happier.  :)

    I knew there was something extra about this guy from the moment we met.  He would look at me and no one else in the room existed. My children from my first marriage were often with me and he couldn't get enough of them. They adored him, too. When I caught him sneaking money to the kids to play video games while we were eating, I knew I was done for.  We spent a lot of time together, usually with the kids, and it never seemed to bother him. He expected them to come along; he understood that they were part of the package. He was wonderful with me and with the children. It wasn't long before he moved in and our lives became permanently connected.

    The kids have been calling him Dad; and he calls them his kids. It's the dream of every single parent.....to find a partner who accepts your children and loves them like their own. He exceeded those dreams in every way. My life will never be the same again.

    My fiance is the one because he knows me the way only my family does - he is more patient and loving than I ever could have asked for.  He dries my tears and supports me through everything.  When we got engaged he told me that he may not be perfect, but he would try hardest to make me happy for the rest of our lives.  He allows me to redefine what being married means and reminds me we can do things our own way.
