My fiance is the one becuase no matter what happens in our lives he ALWAYS knows how to make me smile. Since the first day we meet he has always done everything in his power to make sure I had everything I needed. We actually started dating at a Train concert and my fiance asked me to marry him with the Train song Marry Me, which is also going to be our wedding song. He is the sweetest most caring person in the world. I had been through ups and downs in a previous relationship, which I cried and was so depressed everyday and got to the point I shut myself off from everything, and he made me realize that I don't deserve that and how wonderful things can be and that I am a great person. He makes me feel like I am a queen and tells me everyday how beautiful I am and how perfect we are for each other. You know you are with the right person when you always have those butterflies whenever you are together. Sometimes the little things in life mean way more then the big things. I love the little text messages during the day, or the flowers just because or the cards  just to say he loves me. I know I have found the one for me and he continues to make me happier everyday! I could not be more thankful for having him in my life.

Train's song "Marry Me" very much speaks to the journey of my fiance and I. Michael and I met in college his freshman year (almost 11 years ago this Fall) through a mutual friend. Both of us were extremely shy but over the next few months became very good friends. Michael would invite me out to his fraternity events and I would go hang out with him and some of out other friends in his residence hall. While I continued on with my education, Michael left college after two years and we thought that our paths would never cross again.

Several years ago, I began working for a university and thank you to social

networks, Michael and I were able to reconnect. While we had been apart for so many years, Michael had gone through many ups and down in his life, but was working on finishing his education. We went out on our first official date for his birthday (to The Cheesecake Factory) and from then on, we have been inseparable.

In September of 2009, I was diagnosed with a condition called Chiari Malformation/Syringomelia and the condition had progressed to the point where I need to have brain surgery in November. Michael and I had only been dating a few months and so when we saw each other on the day I received the news about my condition, I was very quiet and not really up for much talking. Michael kept asking me what was wrong and I finally broke down and told him. After a few minutes of silence, Michael says to me "I now know why God brought us back together". I of course asked why and Michael went on to explain that his father had the same condition and went through the same surgery almost ten years ago...around the time that Michael and I had met for the first time. At that moment, knew that not only was I going to be okay, but that Michael was the only one for me.

Michael was there for me and understood me at times when nobody else seemed to know what I was going through. He visited me every day in the hospital, even when I was so sick that I couldn't even hold my head up. I went back home and found that even the simplest tasks were hard to go, but I never worried because Michael was right there by my side. He had to deal with alot very early on in our relationship, but his commitment to me and to us was unwavering. I knew that if we could make it through that, we were going to make it through anything.

He proposed to me back in February and recreated that first date we had at The Cheesecake Factory. In order to pay for my ring, he decided to quite smoking and put back all the money that he would be saving on cigarettes. We are looking forward to our wedding day and sh aring the rest of our lives with each other.

Kyle is my ONE because of so many reasons. We met in August of 2009. I was out downtown for a girls' night and he was in a band at the time which happened to be playing at the bar that night. After the band was done playing their set and with a little bit of liquid courage, Kyle walked up to me and asked me to dance. We spent the rest of the evening and into the early morning hours dancing and talking and having a great time. He asked me out to dinner the very next night and we have been inseperable ever since
Kyle is my support system and my hero. He makes me proud and happy every day and I could not ever picture my life without him. I never knew anyone could love and respect someone so much until we met.
Going to the Train concert would be one more experience that I would cherish to enjoy with him.

My fiance is the one because after an almost 6 year long distance relationship, I couldn't imagine being with anyone else. Even though we didn't get to spend a lot of time with each other, I cherished ever moment I had with him. He puts up with  my crazy antics, he takes care of me, and makes ma happy like no one else can. I can't wait to marry him!

Nearly nine years ago I met the person who is now the love of my life. We met at our community college while skipping class playing Euchre.. We were both very young and had no idea what we wanted out of life. We dated for a while, but mostly were just friends.

Not long after we met he moved 3 hours away, and we didn't speak for 6 years. Then he moved back to the area and was reconnecting with people he knew back then through Facebook. He asked me to go get a drink, and the rest is history.

He makes me a better person. He is my biggest fan, but he also tells me how it is. If I'm being grouchy, he tells me and doesn't let me get away with it. I've never been so comfortable with someone that I know I can say anything and he'll get it and won't judge me. My best friend (and in 37 days my Matron of Honor) said to us about a month into the relationship "wow, there really was no honeymoon period, was there?" And that is because we didn't tiptoe around each other in the beginning like most of us do in new relationships. We felt completely comfortable being who we are.

Not only did he accept me, past and all, faults and all, he immediately fell in love with my daughter. She has become the center of his world, and she absolutely adores him. The first day they met we went swimming, I knew he was the one when she took his hand immediately to walk across the street. It was like she knew that it was meant to be.

I don't know how it happened, but I am so thankful that we "found" each other again.

Also, we have a soloist performing "Marry Me" during our Unity Candle portion of the ceremony! I just love that song and it couldn't have come at a better time for us!

I always thought I was going to be a forever single girl. Nay type of relationship I had, I just ended up restless and moving on..until I met Zach. Oddly though, my brother's name is Zach too, so it was a bit weird at first until my 3 year old cousin Sophia decided that needed to change.

I introduced him as Zach, and she was so confused as to why he looks nothing like my 6'1" blonde haired brother. A little while later, Sophia started calling Zach by the name of Joe. We were all really confused but we let her call him that. Then the light bulb clicked on in my head....Sophia's 3 year old mind thinks my boyfriend bares a striking resemblance to Joe from the kids show Blue's Clues. So from that day forward, Zach instantly became Joe. That's when I knew this guy right here, was going to be in my life for an extremely long time. To his parents he is Zach, their little boy, apple of their eye. To me he is my Joe, the grown up version of himself. He is a provider, a listener, a lover, my fighter. I could not even begin to imagine my life without him. He is my wish granted. Everything I love, is everything he is. I love this man who fell in love with a girl who is in love with the world, and he is the only one who I would let follow wherever I go.

It was 2006 I felt my life had just fallen apart. I was a 21 year newly single mom to a 2 year old, in the midst of loosing my house. I was invited to a Company picnic by my cousin who said "there is a guy I want you to meet please come." I agreed to go but told her I was not really looking for anyone. When I got there in met him we connected right away. We started dating but I was scared number one I hadn't dated in years and number two it wasn't just me anymore, I was a packaged deal.

After six months of dating loosing my house, my job and my car I moved in with Ryan. I new after only a few months he was the one, but every time I tried to say those three words he would stop me. I knew at the beginning of our courtship that he had no interest in having children and that worried me because I already had one.

We have been through so much together and he has been by my side when no one else was. The times I felt all alone he was there. On August 6th I will walk down the aisle to  Train "Merry Me" and at the end of the will be my best friend, my confidante and the most amazing man in my sons life who  he calls "daddy". Five years to the date of our first meeting and the beginning of the rest of our lives.

Just when I had given up, and thought that I was going to be alone, and had finally come to terms with it, I met him.  Now, I don't mean for it to sound like I was depressed and sad but I was  "content" with my life.  My career was on track, my home was nice and the way I wanted it and I was content with the fact that I may just end up adopting if I wanted to start a family.  Just when I was really starting to come to terms with it, out of nowhere, there he was.  We met a cigar dinner ( I had never smoked cigars at that point).  My CFO boss needed a +1 at a Cigar dinner, she also owned a few high end liquor stores that sold cigars and it was put on by Ashton cigars.  So knowing that there was no way out of it, considering she had cornered me on my way out of my office, I went.  We walked into an open area and proceeded to Maker's Mark.  The outside patio had quite a few people on it sipping scotch and smoking cigars.  As we walked in and she started to introduce me to people, I saw him out of the corner of my eye.  Dressed in a vest and tie, I caught myself staring.  As the guy who was sponsoring the dinner came over to show us how to cut and light a cigar I saw Dimitrie, and we made eye contact.  It wasn't long before he came over and introduced himself.  We ended up talking until 2 am.  At the end of the night when he walked my boss and I to the car, he asked if we could have lunch the next day.  I was so taken aback with him how could I say no.  We ended up seeing each other every day after that and 3 months later, we were engaged.  Now only 198 days to.  Its crazy how things just happen out of nowhere when you're not expecting it.  Oh, and now we smoke cigars together

Even though everyone thinks their fiance is the best, i know mine's the absolute best for me. We met in middle school, and were best friends all throughout highschool. After six years of hiding how we truly felt, we finally confessed that we had been in love with the other. From then on, it became more and more evident that a smarter match had never existed.

As Disney is my favorite place in the world, it has always been my dream that I be proposed to in front of Cinderella's Castle (like Family Matters or Full House). My amazing fiance made this dream come true. He makes my world a happier place just by looking at me. We always have the best time, regardless of what we're doing. He always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy. There is nothing he wouldn't do for me, and nothing I wouldn't do for him.

Train has been his favorite band for as long as I can remember. I know it would mean the world to him if he got to meet Pat Monahan and the rest of the band. I would love to be able to share that special treat with him. It would be a way to show my appreciation for all of the many things he does for me every day. I would be so grateful if we were to win this contest. Thank you so much for offering this prize!

My very soon to be husband is my soulmate.
In the past I have thrown that term around so loosely, but after being with my fiance for over a year now and pledging my love to him, I can say with every part of my being that he is the One. He is the One because not only does he challenge me in new ways, he complements me with his personality. We are a team. He is my partner in crime, and my very best friend. 
We communicate well, and we both strive to love the other more than we love ourselves. I know he would give me the moon and the stars just to see me smile. 
I knew he was the One on St. Patricks Day 2010, when he took me on a day trip to Boston. He was standing near a trellis, and with my camera focused on him, finger ready to snap the photo, something in my heart clicked... home. Sheer comfort, and stability. Home. My heart had found it's mate, and I have never been more happy or blessed in my life.
My love is the One because he was designed with me in mind, and I cannot wait to marry him.

Scott and I well lets just say it wasn't love at first sight most likely because we were only 12! Our families camped at the same family camp ground and one day while I was jogging with a friend Scott and his friends were sitting at the park. Everytime I ran past Scott got up and ran with me. I was a total tom boy so not very intersted. That summer if I was swimming he was, if I was riding my bike he was, if I was playing basketball he was... I think you catch my drift. So it wasn't love at first site for me but was for him. Over the next couple of years we become summer time friends. Then once we were old enough to drive we even got together to hang out in the winter months. Our friendship had bloomed and feelings started to form.

The timing wasn't right though so we stayed friends both were in other relationships and happy for each. We hadn't seen each other for two years when a mutual friend was trying to get us to come to the same get together a welcome home party for a friend who had been over seas. Neither of us were in a relationship at this time and although still friends two years of not seeing each other was a long time and we didn't know what feelings we would have.

We both ended up going to the party and it was instant chemistry. WIthin weeks we started dating and with in a year he moved down to where I live. Now almost 5 years later we got engaged at the very camp ground that we met at 15 years ago. He is the love of my life, my partner and my best friend and I couldn't be happier be planning our life together.  I don't think that anyone could love me more or know me better.

That is what makes Scott my one and only.

My fiance is "The One" because he saved my life. Literally. 

We've been together since the day we met in college and we have traveled to 4 different countries together. But on one of our trips abroad to the country of Fiji to perform community service with our college class, on  March 17, 2009, he saved my life. Our bus was on the way to our Habitat for Humanity location when there was a riot in the capital, so our bus took another route. We stopped to pick up lunch at a run down market. John and I walked over to use the pay phone to let our family know we arrived in Fiji and are ok. A lizard came out of the phone's handset I was using and onto my hand. I threw the lizard off of me and the phone and jumped away from the pay phone. I jumped back to far and fell into a hole over 6 feet deep. The hole had metal spikes sticking up out of it. The metal rod went through the front of my left shin piercing through my skin, tissue, muscle and hit my cracked my shin bone, fracturing it severely. I unable to move, laying in the garbaged filled hole, I was bleeding and going into shock. John reached down and pulled me out of the hole by himself from above. I do not know how he managed to grab me without putting his life in danger but he reached me and pulled me up and out himself. As he carried me to the side walk of the market screaming for our course professor, I was trying to hold my legn together to attempt to slow the bleeding with pressure. As I laid on the sidewalk I began to fall out of consciousness and into shock, he was there to hold me and scream out directions to try and get me help. All of our classmates and our professor tried to communicate with the locals to get a taxi and get me to a hospital. 

Due to the economic situation of the country of Fiji the hospital I was taken to was a hospital to treat leprosy. No modern medicine, bugs all over the walls, not a clean area of the hospital anywhere. As I was laying there hoping someone could stop the bleeding we were killing bugs off of the chair they placed me in. The man mopping the floor bandaged my wound that they had not cleaned and put a wet washcloth in the wound and told me that they could not clean and stitch my wound because they believed that my leg would need to be amputated. John was covered in my blood, as he attempted to keep me alive. I have hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar, John managed to get an individual to a market to find me poweraide to raise my electrolytes and raise my sugar levels so I could stay conscious.

I was brought back to the hotel and John and I washed my wound out with supplies that I had brought in my suitcase. We butterflied my wound together with sterile strips to attempt to keep some of the bleeding down. I couldn't walk or even feel my left leg. The only thing we has was Tylenol as a pain killer to try to lessen the pain. The next day there was a doctor at the hotel John took me there where she cleaned it out and bandaged it up to attempt to stop the bleeding. John was there to hold me as I was screaming in pain and I was again loosing consciousness. The hotel doctor couldn't stitch me up because it was too late and couldn't give me any pain killers because they did not have modern medicine in Fiji more than the strength of normal Tylenol. 

We attempted to get me flown out to Australia to be seen by a doctor practicing modern medicine but they would not allow me out of the country because I was still bleeding badly. I had to lay in Fiji without any pain relief, and still bleeding for 7 more days until the entire class was booked to go back to America. My bandage from the hotel doctor was changed every day but I still couldn't stop bleeding. Every day and night of those 7 days John laid by my side moving my toes for me because I couldn't do it myself and was scared I would never be able to move my left leg again since I still could not feel it. He carried me back and forth to the bathroom and bathed me and fed me.

He carried me to the van to go to the airplane and through the airport and on to the plane. We arrived back in America and drove me directly to the Emergency Room. Again carrying me from place to place. I did not have insurance but had to go to the hospital so he paid for me to be treated. I was told it was too late for them to do anything for me other than clean it out and give me a tetanus shot. I had to leave my wound open for 2 months until it began to come together on its own. Because I had no insurance I had no rehab we had to do it ourselves. I could not walk for 6 more months.

John is the One because NOT once did he complain when he had to help me go to the bathroom for 6 months, feed me, wiggle my toes because I had no feeling in my leg, help me bend my knee and rehab in our dorm room at school, carry me to and from class and helped me change my open wound. I could never say thank you as many times as he deserves. What other person in the world would I want to spend the rest of my life with than him? He saved my life in a 3rd world country where there is no medical help and nursed me back to health.

I know he is and always will be the one because he gave everything of himself to keep me alive, keep me positive and keep me going. He pushes me everyday to just keep going so much that we ran our first 5k this April 2, 2011. Without pulling me out of the hole and helping me learn how to walk again I don't know where I would be. 

He is The One and I know he loves me more than I will ever know.

My Fiance Tony is "the one" for more reason than I can say on a thread.  I would absolutely LOVE for us to have the opportunity to meet Train and see them live.  Marry Me is such a beautiful song and actually every song on their entire CD is GREAT!  Tony has taught me that love and a relationships should always remain respectful.  We really never fight.  He treats me like and angel and we have been together for over 5 years.  He has never ever called me a name.  He opens the doors for me and keeps his manners with me to this day.  He will do anything for me and helps with many things.  We are a team and best friends.  I truly enjoy living with him. Tony always makes me smile even when I am mad.   Tony is the calm and patient one in our relationship.  I cannot wait until our wedding day next spring.  It will be the best day of my life.  Tony Amaral is "The One!"

I knew Ben was "the one" when from the get-go, being with him just felt like "home," just comfortable-be myself-put it all out there "home."  And, to quote "Save the Day," he's "my favorite thing by far. That's gotta count for something."

My fiance is the one because he came around when I was ready to throw the towel in. We met online and I had been over the online dating scene for a few years..I am normally very outgoing to jump to talk on the phone but he actually had to persist for awhile to get me to call him. I made up every excuse about my phone dying ect. When we finally spoke he asked me to dinner..that night within moments I knew I almost lost my soul mate by wanting to build a wall around myself. We spent all evening together and the following night he attended a dinner at my Pastors house with me. I knew from that night he was the one I would marry...a few weeks later he proposed and we are in the planning stages. The reason this contest hits so close for me is because I am walking down the aisle to Marry Me (remixed a little by my DJ friend) and the Ranch where our ceremony will be held...when I saw their promotional video Marry Me was playing at the beginning. Our wedding details are crashing into place as fast as we fell in love. Every day he makes sure to let me know how much I am loved..and I am proud to tell everyone I am marrying my best friend!

I am so blessed to have found the one.

God had a plan for both of us...and I thank Him everyday for this wonderful man.

We heard Train's "Marry Me" song in a Subway...and just like our love, we knew this was the one.

After our second date we knew this was true love...and now six months later we are planning our wedding!

Countdown to April 14, 2012!

Train's "Marry Me" will be with us on our special day...Thank You

How I know she's the one...

Cynthia is the one because I have seen you guys perform more than 5 times in the past year because she is totally insane for you guys and to make her happy makes me happy.  There is never a dull moment when we are together.  We look at life the same way and never take our time together for granted.  I am the biggest Yankee fan you will ever meet and we are getting married in August at Yankee stadium which goes to show you that she is the one for me for agreeing to partake in such a wild and crazy adventure that our wedding and future life will be.  When we first met I actually asked her out four times and she turned my down but we remained friends and as time went on she realized what an amazing person I am and she could not help herself.  I really look forward to spending the rest of my life with her and I'm sure I will see you guys soon when you are in the NY/NJ/PA area

How do I know he is the one, well I've known it from day 1.

Dusty had decided it was time for a life change and what better way to do it then throw a dart at the map.  He landed on Vermont and started searching craigslist for apartments.  After finding a good apartment he rented it sight unseen.  He then packed everything into the car and moved across the country from Phoenix AZ to Burlington VT.  After a week of traveling he pulled into the driveway of his new 3 bedroom apartment and saw a girl up on the second floor popping the window screen out. 
He slammed on the brakes and began yelling to stop breaking into his house.  I looked down and thought who is this fool and what is he yelling about!  I told him don't worry i do this all the time.  He kept yelling and I kept climbing in the window!  I was just about to get both legs in when he finally said i'm calling the cops.  I leaned my head back out and said "I need to let my dog out"  Well that didn't go over well.  It was then that he told me this was his house. I tried to explain that I knew for a fact it was not, but he wouldn't believe me.  
I decided to climb down, the dog could wait another minute! I informed him on the climb down that I was pretty sure this was not his house becuase it was my friend's house and while I didn't have  a key, my dog was inside and my friend will be home at 5 so I needed  to let the dog out.  Well he still didn't believe me.  It was about noon time, and he said "I have all day"  he made me sit right there on the porch waiting until my friend came home after 5 to show him that the house was actually a duplex and his apartment was on the other side while the one that i was "breaking" into was indeed my friend's apartment and I had been asked to stop by to let the dog out!
Well after 5 hours of sitting together waiting we had shared quite a few stories.  10 years later I have a key to his house! and he has agreed to marry the girl that broke in!  Good thing I stole his heart instead of his wallet

Dear Pat, Steve and Jimmy,

 

You know this story, but it's now worth saying again for the opportunity to actually meet you!  My love for your band started at your roots in San Francisco.  My first show was at The Fillmore in 2001.  I’ve been a faithful fan ever since -- Coors Amphitheatre, Pechanga, Taste of Newport to name a few -- most recently, The House of Blues in San Diego.

 

I moved from Wisconsin to San Francisco(I’m now in OC and I miss everything, I miss everything) in 2000.  Culture change is an understatement, but I quickly fell in love with the City by the Bay.  I made life long friends, got educated about wine, learned how important I was to me and regained my appreciation for meaningful music.  You guys, especially Pat, were a huge part of that.

 

I’m a marketer, so a couple of case studies are appropriate: 

1) I was at a work meeting in Half Moon Bay in early 2001.  On the drive back with my friend Jennifer and her new boss behind the wheel, we were listening to the Drops of Jupiter CD.  Jennifer and I sang at the top of our lungs!  “The best soy latte you ever had in me…did you ever get the chance to dance?”  We played Drops of Jupiter over and over again all the way back to the City.  Her boss must have thought we were out of our minds! 

2) Fast forward to October 27, 2009 -- of course I pre-ordered Save Me San Francisco.  My friend, Denise, got it a day earlier than me and was emailing me the night she got it about how great the new CD was -- specifically, she wrote “there’s a song called “Marry Me” that makes me want to get married all over again."  I couldn’t wait to get the CD!  I got it the next day and listened to it over and over for the next two days.  I even went out at lunch from work so I could drive around to listen to it, I was obsessed.  I called Denise while driving back from LA on October 30th to exchange likes about the album.  I love it all, but I told her my favorites were "If It’s Love", "Save Me San Francisco" and, of course, "Marry Me."  The album turned a light on inside of me that gave me the inspiration to ask Ted to marry me.  I shared with Denise that I was going to ask Ted to marry me at your concert (box at the House already reserved) on December 11th.  Her response was "that's perfect and I'm all over it!"

 

So the punch line is -- I’ve met "the one".  It took me 40 years to find my soul mate, but it was so worth the wait.  Ted is the best thing that has ever happened to me.  In the tough times, he has been my rock. The good news is the tough times are few and far between.  We are simply simpatico.  Our lives are full of work we enjoy, family we treasure and friends we can’t get enough of. 

By the way, he did say "Yes" that evening of December 11th.  Upon your cue, the encore song, "If It's Love", surrounded by friends who came from as far away as New York, I got down on one knee, gave him the key to my heart which led to tears of joy and celebration.  It's a night we'll cherish for a lifetime and you were a HUGE part of it!

Hopefully this contest will provide the path to meet and share our gratitude with the three of you in person! 

All our best,
Shelley & Ted

If it's Love-

My fiance and I have known each other for forever, and have been dating for about as long. We have been together for 7 1/2 years- since we were FOURTEEN! What has been incredible about our relationship is that as we have grown up and discovered ourselves through high school and college, we have grown into each other and become so intertwined and developed such a strong relationship that could not be more solidly based on love, friendship, and understanding.

About three and a half years into our relationship (our senior year of high school) we sat down, talked over a cup of coffee, and right then we knew that we would end up married to each other. That same year, we had both decided to go to seperate colleges in different states which was a big decision but one that we both knew was right for our future and success. He was destined for the University of Oklahoma to major in Engineering, as his dad had done and all the males in his family had gone, and I was destined to go to Baylor University to major in Education, as my ENTIRE family had gone. We both had strong connections to the colleges were were to attend, but we also knew our connection with each other was strong enough to conquer all trials we would encounter along the way.

John and I are so comfortable with each other, and above all we are the best of friends. He makes me a better person. I am not the most adventurous girl, but John somehow gets me to try new foods, new places, he gets me to travel all the way to Vietnam to visit his parents who have lived there for several years now. I love who I am when he is around, and I love who we are as a couple.

He is so fantastic to have not run away from me by now... I am not always physically well or high enduring as I would like to be. I have a very nervous stomach, horrible migraines, and very sensitive lactose intolerance, all of which can affect me in one day and John is so patient and gentle with me, even when our plans get canelled as a result of my illness.

I thank God everyday for the support, kindness and love I get from John as a boyfriend, fiance, and later as a husband. He is the most marvelous man I could have ever met and I am obsessed with loving him!

Not to mention- music holds an important part in our relationship. We have been to countless concerts together including Journey, Stevie Nicks, Muse, and a Bee Gees tribute band! If It's Love has been a theme song for us for a while, since we became engaged and we have thought of making it our recessional song. Going to a Train concert would be absolutely marvelous! Especially since we are both still in school until december and won't be seeing each other very often. This getaway would be fantastic!

My best friend in medical school introduced me to my fiance and her cousin, Joey.  At the time I was living in Maine and he has living in Washington state.  We hit it off after just a week of spending time together.  Once back in Washington, we would talk for hours on the phone missing each other.  After about a week of this, Joey told me he was going to quit his job and move to Maine to give us a chance.  Obviously, I couldn't offer the same being that I was in my second year of medical school.  He made a huge sacrifice to move to be with me. 
Since that day, he really he has been so supportive of me and my career.  He helps around the house, cooks amazing meals for me and listens to me vent about my day.  Did I mention, he is also a massage therapist!  That's right, nothing like a good shoulder rub to get rid of tension for the day.
Joey has been my rock for almost 6 years now, while I finished medical school and went through the hellish hours of residency.  Finally, I am about to finish residency and we no longer have to put our lives on hold.  Finally, we felt it was the right time to get engaged. 
There are so many more wonderful characteristics I love about my fiance.  But I feel most blessed to find a man who respects my career choice, is patient, and is successful in his own career while taking such good care of me.
We would be thrilled to win this trip, because as you can imagine - there hasn't been much us time through the years.

i knew chris was the one when i couldnt speak the moment we met! i am a pretty outgoing girl and i always have something to say about everything. but when chris walked up to me that august day, i couldnt think of a single thing to say. after he got my phone number we were texting all day and all night until i went to see him again the next day. He wowed me from the very beginging. and since that day, he and i have been inseperable. He is my best friend and i have never loved anyone as much as i love chris.

I had cancer in 2007 and sadly i didnt know chris then, and truely wish i had. Now that he is in my life, he supports my recovery in every way. He builds me up and makes me feel so sexy, scars and all. I had another surgery just a few months ago, and chris took such good care of me. didnt leave my side for anything. That was when i knew he was my soul mate. Not only is he my best friend, but i know he will protect me and love me unconditionally.

Love is something I thought I would never find, and definitely not love like this. Not like the love Robbie, my finacee, gives me. He is my one and only, I can never be close enough to him and he can never hold tight enough. This is the man I will spend the rest of my life and after with. We will be together forever and always, and that still won't be long enough. He will make me happy forever. I can't wait for the next 12 days to go by so I can marry him and then forever be his wife. I can't wait to live with him so we never have to say goodbye. 

We met six month ago on a shuttle from our university in Rexburg,ID to the Salt Lake City airport. As soon as I met him, I knewmhe would be different than any other man I had met or anone I had ever dated. I was so true. No person has ever treated me like Robbie does. He tells me how much he loves me and what i mean to him. For three months we lived in seperate states and these were the longest three months of my life. I am so glad we never have to do that again. I missed him so much that I moved back to Idaho a month early. Two weeks after I moved back Robbie proposed to me on the bus we met on. It was so sweet and romantic. I have never been so sure about anything in my life as i am about marrying Robbie.

He is everything. I have never been so wrapped up in another person before. I've been in love before, but not like this. He puts up with my moodiness, my attitude, he takes care of me when I'm sick, he lets me cry on his shoulder, when I'm sad he cheers me up because he can't stand to see me sad or stressed, and he thinks i'm beautiful when I am at my worst. He loves me like I am some rare find, and he makes me feel like I'm a girl that everyone wats, like I am so special and amazing. When I'm with him, I actually believe i am these things. Everyday that passes, I only love him more. I am so grateful to have this amazing man, he is a gift to me and I don't know what I did right to get him.

My fiance is more than just "the one" for me. Jeremy is my best friend, biggest supporter, number one fan, and most importantly my lover. Some of our closest friends tried their hardest to set us up when I moved back to my hometown in college. As we both refused profusely that we needed no help finding a significant other, they finally tricked us into meeting each other. It was, on that day, that we locked eyes and knew we were made for each other. He has supported me emotionally and financially through my undergraduate career and now he is moving across the country with me so I can pursue my life long goal of obtaining my J.D. and Ph.D. He has put his dreams on hold for me as well as leaving his career behind because he believes that I can do anything in this world. He makes me smile, cry, laugh and most importantly he makes me feel like I am the most beautiful and intelligent person on the earth. He respects me as a woman and as a professional and I could not ask for a better partner to spend the rest of my life with. On July 30, 2011 we will be walking down the isle and fulfilling another goal of ours; to become life partners by starting a new chapter in our lives. I am the most blessed woman in the world and I am so lucky to have Jeremy as my companion.

The first time I kissed my FI I just knew instantly that he was the one for me. I was totally, completely smitten. And the way that he looked at me told me he felt exactly the same way. That was more that a year and a half ago and I still get goosebumps thinking about that kiss. I never want to kiss anyone else again. He is the one for me, and I am the one for him.

My fiance Judson is my best frend. Literally he knows how to make me laugh when I have had a bad day or talk me down when I am frazzled. We play air hockey, cook together, travel, play outdoors and can just about do anything together. He is the one because I have watched him grow and he has made me grow as a person. Our relationship is a way of becoming the people we are as our best selves and getting closer to god. He is the one because as time has gone by we have learned more and more how to be patient, to truly listen, to love, to be FAMILY : ) Over five years we have gone from two separate single people to a pair that has matured professionally, personally and emotionally. Nothing has ever been able to stand in the way of our love and getting to the point of our engagement. Through personal trials like a parents death, job changes, money lost, high achievements...through it all...through the fire to the limit we have made it togehter and we truly love. I am proud of him and the man he has become and the man he will be to our children some day.

I can't wait to marry my best friend!  He is perfect for me!  We met in elementary school and were great friends throughout high school.  We clicked then and had so much in common and a bond. We ended up going out seperate ways through college and a few years after.  A couple years ago I  texted to congratulate him on a new job in our home town, after that the rest was just history!  We got together and re kindled our friendship.  I learned that he had had a crush on me way back when were were coaching summer little league together!  I had no idea! 
We have been inseperable since! 
  There are soooo many reasons why he is the "perfect" man for me and way too many to list.  I have a very trying job and he is so understanding and there is just something about him that makes EVERYTHING better.  He is a very loving and giving man, I am so lucky to have him in my life.  Even through all the trials that we had both been through in previous relationships, God was preparing us for each other.  God is very tricky but completely amazing!  I never thought that I would be so lucky to marry my best friend, my better half, the man that truely makes me the happiest I have ever been in my life.  I cannot imagine my life without him.  He IS the ONE for me!
  He heard Train's song "Marry Me" first and played it for me, it brought tears to my eyes and he wants to have it sung by my Sister and our Friend at our wedding.  He loves me for me and I don't have to be something I'm not around him.  Thinking about him just makes me smile and I'm so thankful he is my ONE!

Wow... There are so many things I could say about my fiance' but, let me give you the whole story and maybe you will see what I did. I was in a relationship with the father of my daughter for 7 years, after a lot of cheating and lying we decided to call it quits shortly before her birth. after my daughter turned 1 I decided to start dating. I went out with a friend to celebrate a birthday and he happened to be her brother-in-law. From the moment we began speaking I felt feelings that I had never felt. From that day forth we have been inseperable. He has been a great father to my daughter and for a single 26 year old guy this was a lot to take on but he has been there for every bump and never waivered. He makes me laugh in the hardest of times and is that backbone of support when i need him most. There is no other person in this world I would rather grow old next to than my husband-to-be!

The 'One' is someone who changes you. Before I met my fiance, I thought of myself as a strong, independent woman who could confidently live my life without the help of anyone else. I know my fiance is the one for me because he single handedly made me realize why people get married. For a long time I thought people got married because they were supposed to. My fiance has made me realize that people don't just get married because they are supposed to, they get married because they know that their lives are better together. My fiance has shown me what love is. He has shown me that to be in love is to be so emotionally invested in someone that you almost feel silly. To love is to know that even when you are angry and fighting, you don't want to other person to leave. I have no doubt that my fiance is the one, and I am blessed to have him in my life.

Andy

 

After 8 years together

I was beginning to get suspicious,

But Andy finally proposed

In the ocean with the fishes!

 

He encourages me to keep going

When I don't want to try any more.

He picks up my wet towels

When I leave them on the floor.

 

We have a lot in common

Just like The Eagles said,

But it's more to do with sport and films

Than what we do in bed.

 

He waited around for me

When I made some bad mistakes.

He always eats my dinners

And even my horrible cakes.

 

For him, I know that giving my best

Will always be enough.

He just says "we'll replace it"

When I lose expensive stuff.

 

He braved three hours of Springsteen

In Hyde Park in the rain,

But this year will be different

Because we both love Train!

 

He tells me I'm beautiful

And doesn't mind my scars.

He rescues me when I forget

To put petrol in my car.

 

He has these crazy plans

Of building our dream home,

But if I had to live with him in a shed

It's better than living alone.

 

He often buys me chocolate

'Cause he knows it cheers me up,

And doesn't nag when he comes home

To piles of washing up.

 

He lets me listen to Bob Dylan

On our long journeys back home.

I know he'd prefer Pet Shop Boys (no, I'm not kidding)

But he never thinks to moan.

 

Despite my bad driving

And all the things I've broke,

He still cooks me pancakes on Sundays

And laughs at my terrible jokes.

 

He is the most patient and caring man

I've ever met in my life,

Which is why I know that he's The One

Why I can't wait to be his wife.

 

There's just one thing, however, on which we disagree:

He's not keen on me walking down the aisle to "Marry Me".

I moan and whinge and tell him that it just isn't fair,

But I suppose you've got to learn to compromise somewhere!
