I'll play...why not.

how did you meet FI/H?  We met at work.  He's a pilot and I'm a flight attendant and we worked a 3 day trip together. 

When did you know he was "the one"? I knew he was the one when we got stuck in a horribly boring city (read: hotel in middle of no where with no bar, no decent food, or entertainment no where near home) during a blizzard.  It was the best 2 days, he told me how much I meant to him and  how he was so glad we were working together when this blizzard popped up.  It was very romantic and I knew I loved him and was going to be with him forever.  OH and when he made me peanut butter chocolate chip cookies...that pretty much sealed the deal lol

What is the best part of your relationship?   Our communication skills are top notch.  We can talk about anything.  He also understands how crazy my job is and can relate, it helps so much to be with someone else who knows how my schedule works.  We also help each other out with the little things, we both share in the chores, help each other re-pack our bags and food for the road.  I best thing about my FI is how caring he is for me, he sends me sweet text messages to read when my flights are over and surprise's me on trips by frequently meeting me at the gate with flowers.

Describe your relationship with your In-laws in one word: Supportive.  I moved out to his home town when we became engaged.  His parents and younger sisters have been so welcoming to me, it has been great.  But we do live about 30 minutes from them...so we are at a comfortable distance.

Nope.  I was a bartender at his nightclub.  My outfit was much skanky-er than that.

how did you meet FI/H?  We went to high school together. I met him in grade 10 science class and proceeded to ignore him for the rest of the year. We became friends in Gr 11 History when I stole his seat in the back of the class.
When did you know he was "the one"? He says he knew by Christmas of our senior year of highschool. For me, I knew that he was the one about 4 years later when, after graduating university and taking off to South Korea (we broke up and I couldn't deal), he was standing at my parents doorway the night I came home and he exploded into tears. 18 months later we were engaged.

 I love doing these

how did you meet FI/H? we met on an online dating website, plentyoffish.com, or POF as some might call it. I messaged him, he messaged me back, so on and so forth. we finally decided to meet up and hang out. we instantly clicked, and its been history ever since!

When did you know he was "the one"? when he came over to take me to dinner. he barely was in the door when we heard tires screeching and the blood curdling yelp of a dog.a stray lab was run over in front of my house.  we scooped her up, rushed her to the vet and he stayed with me and comforted me the whole time until we found out the vet couldnt do anything for the pup I am a big animal lover and when he sprang into action for the dog, and stayed with me until i was alright I knew I wanted him forever!

What is the best part of your relationship? his fierce love for his family. he will do anything for me, his mom or anyone in his life. he makes me laugh every day and  sometimes I think I dont deserve him.

Describe your relationship with your In-laws in one word: up-and-down. techniquely thats three words, but you get my drift. I have a pretty good relationship with his mother, but I dont know his dad. he was never around much in His childhood and lives hundreds of miles away

How we met: We lived three hours apart but met in another state actually  We both do medieval re-enacting with the Society for Creative Anacronisms (SCA) and met at a War in North Carolina.  We ended up in the same camp due to mutual friends.  We had sat down for feast and I was snapping pictures, my friend was sitting next to him and she said he made a comment to the effect of 'there's a beautiful brunette taking my picture'  He worked up the courage to ask me if he could see the pics I'd taken after dinner, and it was done  We stayed up until dawn the next few nights just talking and lauging and the last night (morning?) he asked my permission for a goodnight kiss  

When I knew: it was faster for him than for me  He drove down two weeks after we met and we spent the weekend together, apparently when he got home he told his parents that he was going to marry me  I suppose it clicked for me when I realized there was someone who actually wanted to talk to me every day, and I could be completely myself, and it was SO easy  Two months after we met he proposed on my birthday

best part of the relationship: how open and honest we are makes everything so simple  He is everything I could have wanted in someone and so much more  And he loves me for who I really am

relationship with inlaws: complicated... well meaning but often frustrating

How did you meet FI/H?
We met in college, in the library, during finals week. One of my friends was dating one of his friends, and we all ended up studying together. We hit it off and stayed up until five in the morning talking. Outside. In December.

When did you know he was "the one"?
The second I saw him. That sounds really cliched and stupid, but right when we met the thought just flashed through my brain, "That's him." I might have fought it for a little while

What is the best part of your relationship?
How comfortable I am around him and he is around me. We can say anything to each other and be totally honest. After a few years of being insecure and uncertain about my body and my 'weirdness', it's all just "love" to him. And also that he is open to adventure!

how did you meet FI/H?  A play actually.  My school was doing an all male play so they did an all female one too at the same time.  He auditioned for the male one and I the female one. We both got parts so sometimes our rehearsal times would match up and we would run into each other.  I actually threw a cast party at my house for both casts so I could get to know him better.

When did you know he was "the one"? I knew he was special the moment I saw him. I remember thinking very clearly that he was mine.  I know it sounds a bit crazy but it was a tunnel vision, stomach dropping, heart stopping moment.  We were in a room waiting for our turn to rehearse that days scenes with some other people just bsing.  And I couldn't take my eyes off of him.  

What is the best part of your relationship?  I've never been this peaceful or calm.  I know without a doubt that he loves me and I him.  I make him come out of his shell and he makes me behave a little more.  Also, our love of movie night with a couple of beers, a plate of bread and cheese and lots of blankets.

Awwww, this is cute!

I met my FI at work. I own a bakery cafe and he would come in and get the same thing every day. I actually turned him down the first time he asked me out. I had just opened, and was way too busy for a relationship. A year after I opened the bakery, he asked me out again. This time I said yes. We've been together for 4 and a half years.

I don't believe in a "one". I think relationships are work and require maintenance, there isn't any sort of destiny. There are many opportunities for love, not just one. I knew I wanted to commit to him completely (which you may call "the one") when he truly saw the extent of my disability. My condition causes pain for no particular reason, and it sucks. He's incredibly understanding of my condition and my limitations, and he takes good care of me while still allowing me to be independant and not coddling me. I was scared he'd find my disability a burden or wouldn't be understanding of it. But when it finally happened that he saw me have a big pain attack, he was completely wonderful. He was so loving and understanding, I knew I had a catch.

The best part of our relationship? That's a hard one. We're great partners. We both push each other to do new things as well as respect our long-standing loves and interests. We care very deeply for each other, support each other completely, and help each other through hard times. I just really couldn't imagine anyone better.

My relationship with my in-laws? I don't think there's a single word for it. It isn't good.

how did you meet FI/H?  We met in high school. I wanted more extra curriculars on my transcript, so I tried out for the one-act play. Apparently I can't act, and they were one MAN short on stage. So I got put behind the light/sound board, and DH got put on stage. He proceeded to spend the next 3 months looming over me telling me I was doing "his job" alllll wrong. I developed a huge crush on him; one of my blabbermouth friends told him (we were 16, of course no one can keep a secret!), and 6 months later in a 2 am phone call he asked me to be his girlfriend. We've been inseperable ever since.
When did you know he was "the one"? There have been a few moments. I think the first was probably a few weeks before he proposed. We were lying in bed together, drifting off to sleep. He had his arm around me and whispered into my ear "I could do this every day for the rest of the my life" and that's the last thing I remember. I just remember the pure happiness of that moment, and when he proposed 2 weeks later, I was shocked and surprised because I had no idea that it was coming (we were only 18), but I remembered that night. 
What is the best part of your relationship? How well we complement and understand each other. When one of us is freaking out, the other is calm. When there's something wrong, we don't need to explain it or try to talk about it, usually the other person understands. And, we have fun together. Every day is still an adventure, even after 7 years.

Describe your relationship with your In-laws in one word: Decent.
I love my MIL, she's great and we get along well. My FIL, not so much. He means well, but there's a lot of things he doesn't follow through on or does in poor taste. As for siblings, his siblings are pretty much my siblings. I'm an only child, so they're the closest things I have. His sister is distant and unrelatable a lot of the time, but his brother I love to death.

how did you meet FI/H? Spanish class freshman year of high school

When did you know he was "the one"? We broke up for a month freshman year of college, having trouble with a new long-distance relationship. I told him not to come running back unless he wanted to marry me. He came back after going on only one other date and did all the right things while it took me several months to get over my resentment at the breakup.

What is the best part of your relationship? Being around him makes me indescribably happy, whether we're hiking and having adventures or lazing around in bed all day. We've been long distance for 2 years now, with 2 more years to go before we can get married, so we've learned not to take each other for granted and cherish every moment we have together.

Describe your relationship with your In-laws in one word: Loving.

how did you meet FI/H? Odd enough high school we dated for two months he was my first boy friend. He moved in the middle of the year then i did at the end of that year. Two years later i moved back and we started taking again. I was in a relationship then and he got controlling and my wonderful fiance who was a friend got me to get out of it. Then we got together and all of this was while i was in college 23 hours away. 


When did you know he was "the one"?  I dont really know i just couldnt image myself without him.

What is the best part of your relationship? He's always there for me though everything school finding a job. The long distance was hard on both of us. And no matter how sad or how much of a bad day i have had he can always make it better and make me laugh.

His parents are split before he was born and both remarried so i have four in laws. Like his mom dad and step mom his step dad is harder to get along with. hes the type where he tried to say something nice but it comes out rude.
