Enough Already!

Hey Ladies,

I am not even sure why i still come on here haa because all it is is drama or someone complaining about things. I realize this is a forum and that happens everywhere. However,

I wantt o see happy things! This is about weddings right. So lets talk about our future husbands, or husbands. I just love mine and we have been together for 7 years! We will be married July 21, 2012. Just over 4 months away! (eeeek) and I catch my self thinking about him all the time. Just like I did when we first started dating.  I knew him for quite sometime before we dated, and we had the puppy dog love where I have a crush on you you have a crush on me thing. My aunt thought it would funny one day to give him my cell number and then give me his number (I think my family just had enough of the both of us talking about eachother and wanted us together already haa) So, I "accidently" texted him haa and then he replied back with "hey, do you like me". I know real romantic right. lol. and then from there he asked me on a date and we have been attached at the hip ever since. !

My family says I make them sick with how much we are in love haa. But, he truely is my best friend and I cannot imagine marrying anyone else in this world. He is so sweet and I thought I would share with you!


Please share your stories with me

Me and my partner Andy are getting married in August and have been together for 3 years.  We actually met on-line after we had both had dissatisfaction with traditional dating.  I actually was the one that posted the ad.  We messaged back and forth/called each other for a few weeks, and then finally met at a coffee shop.  We dated for six months and then he moved 250 miles away.  We dated long distance for 6 more months, and then I moved closer to be near him.  I love him so much and can't imagine being with anyone else.

My FI and have worked for the same company since 2004.  In 2007, I was going through a really bad breakup with a guy who randomly accused me and B of sleeping together (where he got this idea from, I have no idea.  B and I didn't even really get along at that time, but it turns out that was just because there was a lot of tension between us).  So, B and I had to have an awkward conversation about my ex who was calling him non-stop threatening him if he didn't stop seeing me, and a joke evolved between us about how he never even took me out for a proper date.  Finally, one day B asked me if I would go on a proper date with him, and we've been together ever since.

We've been through some crazy isht.  I had melanoma cancer in 2009, and it's a huge strain on a reliationship when you start paying for surgeries and doctors and tests, not to mention the lingering question of if you're even going to be ok or not (I am, thankfully).  We made it though that and subsequent medical debt that I went into, and we've come out the other end.  I'm not sure if there's anything we can't work though together.  I'm so excited to marry him.

mrsrichard33,

I LOVE your post and comforting to know I am not the only one who feels that way about their FI. We actually met at a Wal-Mart. He just walked up to me and said a pretty lady like you should always be smiling. I blushed so hard that all I could do was giggle like Betty Rubble. He was hooked from that point on lol Every day since the first, he can't go one day without hearing that laugh. Even when I am sick, he does all he can to make me smile and hear that laugh. He knows that my first time around in the "I do" ring was a serious life changer for me (ending badly beyond words). FI has help me heal, grow and learn to love and trust again. He has become more than my FI, he is my best friend and angel.  Love my FI to death!!!!!

Mrsrichards33  My wedding date is July 21 2012 as well.  Have you checked out the July 2012 board?  Everyone there is so nice.

I lost my first husband in 2007 (I was 27 years old and we had been married for just under 4 years).    He took his own life, and it was incredibly hard time for me.  I basically spent the next two years feeling completely unlovable.   Then I decided to start dating again.  

I did the internet dating thing for a few months (went on a handful of first dates), then randomly met my fiance at my cousin's wedding.  We hit it off immediately.  On our second date I told him about losing my husband, and he was amazing about it.  He's been the most incredibly boyfriend and fiance ever since.   

It amazes me how I was in such a dark place for so long, and as soon as I opened up my heart again, he was there.

I met DH 7 years ago. We both went to the same high school and he was in my cousins' class. He also was the sound tech guy at the school and I was in band, drama, and chorus; all things that needed well, sound. So he was at all my functions.

We were first introduced because my friend was dating him. Then my best friend started dating his best friend and we all sat together when we had the same lunches. Well then he started dating my best friend and we became really close. My BF went to another high school and I was seeing more of my future husband than the guy I was dating!

Both of our relationships ended within 3 months of each other and we were just there for each other. Shortly after his break up, he had a family emergency up north and needed someone to talk to, so there I was. He promised me lunch when he got back into town. (He was taking night classes in college and it the summer approaching my senior year) Lunch turned into an all day event ending with an awkward 2 hours in an empty movie theater, ending in a kiss as the credit rolled. I had butterflies so bad and my legs turned to jell-o. It wasn't until we shared a kiss the night we got engaged that he admitted to having the same reaction I did during our first kiss.

We both still get butterflies

I love everyones stories :-)

My FI and I met in 2004. We actually went to the same middle school but we never talked. But in high school we became best friends our freshman year. I actually fell in love with him the moment I met him (it took him a little longer lol). But we were always hanging out together and there for each other. Fast forward to 2006 and it was the summer going into our junior year of high school. We had been hanging out a lot more one on one, dinners and movies. He finally said that he liked me and wanted to date me. We took it slow at first really just going on dates and stuff for about a month or two. Then on August 30th 2006 I was just like "so are we boyfriend and girlfriend yet?" lol. We've been together 5 1/2 years now. Never broken up, always laughing, always there for each other. I just love him so much (shoot I've loved him since I was 14 lol). We moved in together in august of 2010 and got engaged in august of 2011.

I started working at a tax firm, and that's where I met FI. I really didn't give him much hope, as the first Valentines Day there my mom sent me flowers, and he saw them and thought they were from a boyfriend. The first time we went to lunch together I explained that I didn't have a boyfriend and I was NOT looking either. I had just finished dating a D-Bag of the tallest order, and while I wasn't that hurt by it, I was just kind of disgusted with guys.
Eventually we started hanging out more and more, and for Memorial Day Weekend he came to my parent's annual party, and that night we ended up making out on the trampoline outside like teenagers!
We continued to work together for two years while dating when he took the leap, and got accepted to film school in LA. So we did the long distance thing for a year and a half, and the DAY before we moved him back to Dallas, he proposed to me at Disney Land!
Now we are living together in Dallas, and he is working in LA on a contract basis. He finally has a career that he LOVES, and we will be married this summer, over 4 years after we met!

I met my husband in high school.  We had the same math class for about 2 weeks in junior year.  I decided to transfer out of that specific class and into another and it wasn't until after I left that we started talking.  We have been together ever since.  Truly high school sweethearts.  This upcoming October will be 7 years that we have been together and we were married this past January 21st, 2012.

R and I met online in 2007. I was still grieving for my father who had taken his own life in late 2006 and I took it extremely hard. R and I messaged back and forth/called each other for a few weeks and then decided to meet (but just as friends) That didn't last long as our connection was instant. After a year and a half together, his ex emerged with the paternity of a child in question. In an effort to do the right thing for the child, R left our relationship to sort things out with the ex and child. I prayed every day we were apart that he would come back because we had talked about a future together and I simply could not imagine my world without him. We got back together and have gone on to endure the LD thing for about a year as well as some illness on my part and loss of jobs for both of us. We are getting married in 99 days and this Nov. will mark our 5th year together. I love him more today than I ever believed possible.

Mine is a huge round-about way...

I used Yahoo! Answers for a while to discuss religion with a few people and I first talked to my fiance on a question there. Then later on, he found my blog by searching for a religious issue and that linked to my facebook. We started talking there. And he happened to go to the same masjid (mosque) as a friend of mine.

This is where it gets harder to follow. My absolute best friend in the world (Indian-Bahraini) went to school in Bahrain and became friends with a guy from Pakistan. This Pakistani friend had another Pakistani/Saudi friend from childhood that's now also my friend and HE is the one that goes to the masjid with my fi. The first Pakistani friend introduced to me by the Indian best friend has an aunt who lives 30 minutes away from me and I'd actually met several times and SHE had met the other Pakistani friend. So they took it upon themselves to become my Walis (legal guardians... In an Islamic marriage, a woman has to have a male guardian there to protect her interests. Not to give or take permission to marry, but to literally check out the other person to make sure they're worthy. Usually the dad does it but I dont' have Muslim men in my family).

As this was going on, both my Fi and the friend going to the same masjid were BOTH going to university in London and decided to meet up. They hit it off really well and my fi gave all the proper documentation that he was genuine in his interest in me, etc. They BOTH talked to me on chat about having room mate troubles and I told them both the other had issues so NOW my good friend and my fi are room mates until we marry. Neither has to be lonely or live with a person who harasses them over faith before I get there. :-) So it was really great.


As for my personal relationship with him... He makes me feel like no one else has ever made me feel. I feel like I have finally found my romantic soul mate (I say that because I believe you should have one romantic and one best friend. Luckily both of mine get along). He knows I have health issues which mean I spend a great deal of my time in a lot of pain, so he tries to make me happy so the natural painkillers (endorphins) keep things less painful. And he knows I grew up in an abusive environment and he makes sure that I never go back into the mindset of believing what used to be said to me. He tells me he loves me and for the first time, I believe it from someone. And I love him too. And even though religiously we're not supposed to be conversing with each other aside from Islamic matters and to plan our nikah (wedding), we break the rules... And it's a big deal given our conservative nature. And we're ok with it if we ever face punishment or judgement for it because I think he's worth it and he thinks I am. We're ridiculous with each other and until we're actually married, we kind of keep it under wraps from his family and that adds to the excitement a little. But the fact that we BOTH want children and we've both been teased for noticing children... Even though we're in different countries for the moment, apparently we have similar mannerisms already.. And that just proves to us that we belong together. He knows about me, I know about him... His friends have caught him talking about me as his wife, not his bride to be, and my friends have caught me speaking of him as my husband... We're both so excited for our big day despite all the trouble in actually getting together.

I met my FH in english class in 10th grade, we actualy went to kindergarden together too and then my family moved, we got along really well and I had a major crush but I beleived guys asked the girl lol. Then we had christmas break and due to some family issues I didn't go back to school. We chatted a few times on FB but it was few and far between. Then I found out he had a new girlfriend from someone we had gone to school with and honestly, I was pretty uppset, but I decided it was kind of my fault for just waiting around. So I kind of stalked him on FB and one of my friends who always knew everything about everyone for 3 years lol.I went out with a few guys, they all turned out to be jerks, one even managed to have 4 other girlfriends without me knowing, good thing it was long distance and I was to young(in my mind) to be in a serious relationship.
 And kept e-mailing FH every few months. I had just ended another 'relationship' with a guy about 3 months earlier and sent another message to FH and he wrote back right away, which was kind of weird (his GF was a little controling and didn't like him talking with other people, all we ever talked about was the usual hows it going, work sucks, family is still alive ext)
So we chatted a few tiimes, it was almost christmas, and i had been talking about my sisters bf and how they might be breaking up again and he wrote back saying he had just broken up with his GF.. I said that it was to bad and that it was good that he had decided to do it before the holiday because it would be easier in the long run and said some more stuff about my sister. He wrote saying that he thought so too and asked if I would maybe want to go to dinner sometime...
 I was kind of shocked (found out later he had been broken up for 3 months) and ran to ask my partents what they thought, they said it was my chice and why not.. So I said that it sounded like fun. We called and txted a few times and he had to call and ask my dads permition to date me lol, my dad loved that rule. And we went to dinner and a movie, we were both so nervous dinner took about 30 minutes and then we had to sit in the truck for a hour waiting for the movie to start, it was so nerve wracking trying to find things to talk about but we got mare comfortable and the went and watched the movie. Small town so the only movie was, the chipmunks. Good thing I didn't really want to see it, I barly remember the movie. He put his arm around me and held my hand, was so cute. When the movie ended he kissed the top of my head and that was it for me.
 We have been together for 2 and a half years now and I cannot imagin life without him. I got him a german sheperd for christmas/our first aniversary and we are planning to get another for our wedding gift to eachother
