We have had a long distance relationship for 5 years, but whether we haven't seen each other for 5 minutes or 5 months she brightens my life whenever I see her. When I am with her, anything is possible. She can make the stresses of life fade away and give me the strength to accomplish anything with just a hug.
I can always be myself in front of her. She laughs with my silly inner child. She contends with my challenging intellectual side. She gets just as competitive as me at everything, but in the end we both win every game because it always ends in a kiss.
She challenges me to learn more and do more everyday. She gets me to venture beyond my comfort zone and try new things. She gives me new dreams that I had never pondered. With each passing day, I reminisce on our and veer into our future with a smile. She is always there standing by my side, holding my hand with her head on my shoulder.
My fiance is THE ONE b/c we balance each other out perfectly. I am social, always on the go, not very organized, and very impatient. He is super melow, laid back, organized, and has the patience of a saint. He always knows the right words to say to make me feel better when I think I am losing control. He is very supportive and always gives great advice. He is truly my other half
When Mike and I met we were both out of bad relationships. We didn't want to date but quickly became close friends. We started to realize we had so much in common from our favorite breakfast to our goals in life. He is truly my best friend.
We didn't actually end up dating for quite a while but when we finally made it offical it was in the car while Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" was on and he looked at me and said I've desided you're one of my kind. The after the song ended he said "I guess you're my girlfriend now?" I was so excited. We haven't been able to see Train live yet but that would be the most amazing experiance of our lives.
I knew my fiance was the "ONE" because I have never loved someone as completey as I love him. I have never had a negative word to say about Jon and everytime I talk about him I know I love him more. He has taught me to relax and believe in myself. I am more comfortable with who I am because he loves me for me and I don't have to pretend to be someone else. Jon also loves my girls as his own and they love and trust him completely. He has never let us down and always works hard to make sure we are well taken care off. I could not even dream of a man better then Jon and I am so lucky I get to be come his wife. I just hope he will always know how I adore everything about his character. He makes me a better person. We always put the other first and that is what makes a great partner in life!
WOW, where to start. My fiance David is "the one" because we will have been married for 25 years. He proposed to me all over again last summer and we are getting remarried for our 25th wedding anniversary. He is my Soul Mate, my lover, my friend my every breath and my tears of joy. We have been through so much in our lives. We had my son (from another marriage which my husband David adopted him) right from the beginning. We got married at a JP because we could not afford anything. Shortly after, we had our daughter. Our children are our lives. Shortly after our children moved out, my brother moved in for 8 months, our daughter moved in for 5 months, my neice moved in for 8 months and then we went to rescue my inlaws because my father in law was near death and no one to take care of them. We moved them in with us for 5 months when they became healthy again. We still have our hands fll taking care of the inlaws every needs. There are many times we have tried to get remarried for our 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th but everytime we tried to save money, someone always needed us. So finally, June 25th 2011 I will marry the man of my dreams all over again, "the one" my true love. So after being married to him for over half of my life, I know HE is "the one!!!!! We both love train and this would be a blessing to see them. They are truely amazing. Thank you for this opportunity.
My fiance is the one: the first time we met there was an amazing spark, butterflies that ran through my stomach. My fiance and I have so much in common which even makes it that much more special between us. He is my best friend, my soulmate, the one i want to spend the rest my life with and the one i want to grow old with. My fiance is the sweetest guy,loving, caring, kind and the greatest! When times are good and when they are not so good he is always there for me and i am always there for him. When i am stressed and fusterated he is always there to make me feel better to put a smile on my face and one thing he says that truley touches my heart is: " BABE IT'S YOU AND I"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND EVERYTIME I HEAR THOSE WORDS I KNOW THAT WE CAN GET THROUGH ANYTHING AND THAT HE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE BY MYSIDE....I love everything about him from the romantic moments to the silly dorky moments. But most of all i remember that feeling, that butterflies in the stomach feeling that falling in love can only give you! i love him so much and i can't wait to be married to him my fiance is the love of my life! I will never forget those words "babe it's you and I because those are the words he said to me when he proposed to me and thats why it means so much to me. My fiance proposed to me on christmas by a gazebo where we first met with stars up in the sky and a gorgous river that ran along the side of the gazebo made it the most wonderful night . I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him !!!!!!!!!
My fiance is the one God intended for me to spend the rest of my life with and I know this without a doubt! It was honestly love at first sight and we told eachother we loved eachother on our third date and have never looked back! He is my best friend and he asked for my Dad's permission before he proposed to me because he knew how much it means to me. I'm not always very easy to handle and he loves me enough to be patient with me! He also loves me enough to handle my love of Matt Damon! He even DVR's Matt Damon interviews for me as a surprise! He makes me a better person and together we are an amazing couple! We are getting married the day after our 5 year anniversary! I can't wait!!

SHUT. IT!
Love is like infinity: You can't have more or less infinity, and you can't compare two things to see if they're "equally infinite." Infinity just is, and that's the way I think love is, too.
Fred Rogers
I am a single mother of a teenager. I had spent many, many years meeting men and watching them run the other way when they found out I had a child. The night I met my fiance I fully expected him to run the other way as soon as I told him I had a teenage daughter. Especially since he is over 6 years younger than me. His response was to tell me, "A child is always a blessing, never a negative!". In that moment I knew he was the one. Every day since then he has continued to show me that all of the things I wanted in a man do exist and I was right not to settle until I found what I knew I wanted and deserved.
Marry Me by Train is going to be our first dance at our wedding. My fiance played it for me and it fit perfectly. When I hear the song it reminds me of how we met and the way my FI tells me over and over how I'm never close enough and that even if we could get all the years back we didn't know each other it still would not be long enough. Finally I now know what it feels like to have found the one!
After over 20yrs of marriage to Mr. Wrong, I finally left, always longing For THE ONE!. Pondering this ? , Is there really someone out there who is meant just for me? A SOULMATE? Please stay with me as my story unfolds. May of last year , I discovered TRAIN. I knew of the song, Drops of Jupiter, but not the Group who sang it. Than I heard of Soulsister, and that it was TRAIN, so excited I ran out and got the cd. November I started dating, met a wonderful man, and than introduced him to TRAIN. We both fell in love with their music, than magically with each other, and ever since than , weve been living out the words and inspiration of their songs, almost to the T, it's unbelievable , amazing , but true. After only 2 months of being together, he said move in, why wait, your my SOULMATE!! so I did. We are so in love, no one compares to him ,I love him from his toes, to his face., and when we kiss, I get chills all over, he say's I take his breath away. Every letter and every note & every day , is better than the day before. We can never out wear the words I Love You, & every day without fail , he says Im beautiful!!! He is the best thing in my life & the greatest thing about me. We wake up smiling, and laugh & sing all day, there's so much joy! Im addicted to his love & he to mine, he wash'es away my pain, and opens up to me, and like a parachute he is my safety net, my calm when I see red, and without a doubt, he's way better than Breakfast in Bed. We are so much alike, he's one of my kind, with a soulmate connection, that just blows my mind. Were two peas in a pod, two birds of a feather, and Forever can never be long enough with him, so we decided it's forever!!! With all that said, now theres only ONE THING LEFT TO DO MARRY ME EDY !!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! SAY YOU WILL!!!! : )
Meet Virginia, our home state. I’m just an all American girl and this is our story and my tribute to Train, read closely! My best friend, Anna, and I have been friends since 7th grade. Through some fun and tough times our friendship has always remained. She is a friend who knows your every color, good and bad and accepts you for who you are. At times I felt like I had been calling all angels to help me find love in my life. After moving back home she listened to me complain about my previous relationships, frustrations and how I just wanted something more. Then she listened to her brother’s similar explanation of his relationships and realized that the two of us were very similar in what we were looking for in someone to share our lives with. Although Jon and I had known each other for a long time, neither of us had contemplated this relationship because of Anna and I being such good friends. But in the end that’s what friends are for. She told her brother, “I wish you wouldjust ask her out!” She opened the door to our relationship and encouraged the growth of our relationship even in the face of uncertainty and risk to our relationship. She is a true friend. If I can’t change your mind maybe I can change your heart.
She invited Jon and I to a New Years party in 2008 so that we would ride together. We partied the night away, had a blast and rode the cab back home. It started there. After meeting Anna weekly for margaritas and Mexican food we were officially dating. Following rita (many margaritas to be exact), we decided to let it roll and see where things would take us. Jon is a helicopter pilot and gave me a birthday certificate for a flight. I was extremely nervous for this first helicopter flight and felt I needed a parachute for safety but it was smooth flying. Jon found himself counting airplanesat the flight school when the economy tanked so he had to start anew working on radio systems. Jon has to spend manydays away from home now. He hasn’t had to go to Mississippior Idaho but he has gone to Connecticut and Oklahoma. He gets a little homesick but enjoys his work. I’m a veterinarian, working on dogs, cats, a few rabbits here or there, a rat or two, and other small animals. Although I get lots of respect, I get very few chances to getaway. I’m about to come alivewith the chance to see train in concert. Whether it’s on askyscraper in New York, Half Moon Bay in California, or Lincoln Avenue, I am ready to go see Train. If you leave without us we will be dismayed!
All I ever wanted was someone whom I could love and be loved with no strings attached. Jon decided to shake up Christmas 2010 by proposing and asking to marry me by the tree while I was unwrapping presents! Some say love is blind; I say if it’s love you already know. Love can be tough and heavy at times or free and light like a sweet rain. Either way you have to build your relationship brick by brick. Jon, you don’t need to be my whipping boy just my private nation.
This I amsure, at the finish line I want my two biggest friends at my side, Jon and Anna.
Jon, words can’t describe how much I love you. I’m not waiting in line for love anymore, for me it’s you Jon. I got you with all the crazy hopeless love and abandon I can imagine. Whether its breakfast in bed, eggplant parmesan dinner, or flowers, you manage to find unique ways to get to me and express your love. Always remember, its lovethat binds us.
Anna, this ain’t goodbyeto your best friend but hello to your new sister! It’s about you being selfless and a great friend. She has always been the friend to shelter me with her umbrella of friendship and understanding. She’s on fire at other times just like her red hair, strong willed and opinionated. She always has good advice.
Am I reaching you now? Do you know how much Jon and I would LOVE to meet and hear Trainin concert? We would love to be jamming and swaying to Hey Soul Sister, Drops of Jupitor, Save me San Francisco. All I hearis my favorite song, when I look to the sky and Jon’s favorite from the live TV show Dream on. Don’t forget to get out and save the day in September for our wedding!
Bobby and I started dating our senior year of high school and have been together for 5 1/2 years now. Even at a young age he swept me off my feet and I fall more in love with him everyday. I have never felt more comfortable around anyone in my life. He inspires me to be a better person and to always do the right thing. He is such a well grounded person and I know I am a better person for knowing him. He always knows how to make me laugh just when I need it the most. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. He is the perfect gentlemen and always treats me like a princess. I am so lucky to have found "the one" at such a young age and I can't wait to marry the man of my dreams!
P.S. After we were engaged Bobby said he found the song that we would dance to at our wedding and he played it for me and of course I cried! It is none other than "Marry Me" by Train!!!!
Quite simply, he is the kind, sweetest man I know. He is compassionate, concerned, and genuinely curious. He opens every door for me and pulls out chairs for me. He shares restaurant entrees happily and chops wood for me because he knows how much I love a roaring fire.
He is attentive to my needs but also confides in me because he values my opinion. We trust each other completely and talk about every issue brought up. Nothing is off limits for discussion so there are no misunderstandings or hurt feelings.
I never thought any relationship could be so easy. Our compatibility amazes me; he amazes me.
My fiance and I have both been through our fair share of hard times-he, more so than I. Finding each other was nothing short of a miracle. I have spent my entire life looking for any small feeling of hope, respect and worth. I know, I know...SELF worth is the best worth, but I was unable to see mine until I met Brandon. He has never judged me, or ridiculed me... I have never once felt be-littled or dis-respected; this is a HUGE deal to me, and I can't say how much it means to me. I have had this picture of the 'perfect' man plastered all over my brain, but when I met him...that image was shattered because, he is what I have searching for. He is the support, the truth, the love and the respect that I have been lacking when it comes to a relationship. He has opened my eyes to a futre that I would not have see had I not met him. I never understood people who said that their spouse completed them...but, he is the other half of me. He is my rock, my inspiration, my everything. PLUS, he has the strongest bond with our hamster, Nibbles d. Hooper; she is Daddy's girl...and honestly, who wouldn't be head over heals for a former boxer that spends hours cuddling a Dwarf hamster while watching 'Tom & Jerry'?????
I met my fiance in April of 1989, when I had just turned 19 and he was still 15... He was the sweetest guy and I instantly was attracted, but all my friends said he was too young for me. He was the cousin of the guy I was kind of dating at the time. We were all good friends and enjoyed hanging out at the stock car races every Saturday. He went into the navy, then came back home and got into the Fire department on Camano Island... Meanwhile, I got married to a guy I met at the race track, had 3 kids, and thought I was in a nice relationship... In hind sight I now know he was cheating on me and was mentally and emotionally abusive to me and my kids. Dave came back into my life as a very good friend in 2001. I had an on the job injury and ended up having back surgery twice. Dave was married to a girl from the fire department. We started talking every day and sharing our feelings and became best friends. We supported one another through difficult times, through our spouses cheating on us, and many other things. We became confidants, the one each would go to with anything and know that there would never be any judgement, just support and encouragement. Dave got divorced and my feelings for him grew stronger, but I wasn't sure he was feeling the same way. In May of 2010, my abusive husband was removed from the house and there was a protection order put in place. I had surgery 3 days later and Dave was there to take me to and from the hospital. I then realized maybe he might feel similar to how I felt. We started dating July 10, 2010 and we moved in together September 1,2010. He is an amazing father figure to my boys. They love and respect him and feel more supported than ever. On December 13, 2010, Dave asked me to marry him when my divorce was final. I have never been happier than at that moment. We will finally be getting married December 10, 2011. I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with my best friend and soul mate. We were meant to be together for a long time. It just took us a while to realize that we both felt the same way about each other all along. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with the man that makes me feel like the most special girl in the world every day.
My fiance and I have done this relationship completely backwards from most people. We knew each other through mutual friends, and both needed a place to live when we were moving back to the same city at the same time. So, we started living together as friends. I knew he was the one the day we were apartment hunting and he didn't have a problem with my mom coming along (my mom likes to be involved in EVERYTHING) and then even went to dinner with my parents afterwards. Poor guy. He was 30 at the time, I was 23. We were sitting in one of the apartments discussing options while my mom wrangled the rental agent, and he told me jokingly that we'd probably end up married someday. We both laughed.
But from that moment on, he was mine. Even as my friend I loved him dearly. We ended up dating about 6 months later, and broke it off. He needed more time to be single. He was pretty newly divorced when we moved in together. So, for almost a year we lived together, loved together, and weren't a couple. It was one of that hardest things we have both ever done. We talked multiple times about moving out and moving on, and neither of us could do it. We needed to be together.
So, we got our act together and got back together and it's been wonderful ever since. He has two children already, and they are amazing. We don't want more kids. His are perfect, and we have our dog to raise.
When it came time to get engaged, we picked a date (July 3rd, 2011), then bought a ring together. Then he proposed a couple weeks later. Now we are buying a house. We get married in just under two months.
So we may have done everything backwards, but that's us. We wouldn't have it any other way. And my fiance is amazing. When I'm down, and feeling so low I can't move, he has this ability to make me smile again. He'll physically pull me out of bed and make me go out in the world and be somebody....a better somebody. And I find myself being happy again. He's my sidekick, and I'm his too. He manages to support me no matter how silly my cause may be. If I'm hurt because nobody likes my silly donkey cake toppers, he says, screw them. They are OUR donkey cake toppers and nobody else has to understand. We get it. Whether my dream at the moment is to skydive, learn to ride a motorcycle (and then buy one), spend my time volunteering to help 4H'ers learn to ride their horses, or organize charity walks, he fully supports me and helps me knock down any opposition that says I can't.
He keeps me grounded when I need it, and knocks me off the ground every time I see him. Neither of us are perfect, but I feel perfect when I'm with him. I couldn't imagine coming home to anyone else.
Also, Marry Me by Train was an easy pick for our first dance.
When I met my fiance we just couldn't stand the sight of each other... he thought I was a busy-body, I thought he was just a plain idiot. So it really wasn't a case of love at first sight!
Things started to change slowly, once we actually tried talking to each other. We realised that as much as we put on a strong facade, we were both really soft underneath, we had a similar past with regards to realtionships, and he had the most amazing voice, which I fell in love with... but the confirmation that we were made for each other came at a performance when I walked in all dressed up and he couldn't take his eyes off me... and I couldn't take my eyes off him too... he looked gorgeous.
A few weeks later we were dating... a month later... he proposed!
He's the one because we have so much in common, we love doing the same things, like travelling and even though we do have our ups and downs we always manage to work things out and end up feeling closer than before
This should be a very easy question to answer, but then again it is very hard to describe a feeling of emotion you have for another person. For others who have been in love or are in love, they just know the feeling and can relate automatically. I decided to write my explanation as if I were talking to someone who had never experienced what I am experiencing or an alien! So here goes…
God has given us many gifts in life. The bible says the best gift of all, besides his son, was the ability to love one another. The love I feel for Josh is more than just the automatic feel of love, as a mother feels love for her children; or a child that loves it’s parents. Those feelings of love come natural and almost automatic. What I got to experience with Josh was “falling” in love. I have been “in love” before but it has never felt like this.
The moment I ran into Josh, it was like a lightening strike. It was weird. I couldn’t stop looking at him, trying to see whom he was talking to, if he were possibly look at me too. At first it was not obvious to me.It wasn’t until he passed by me and touched my leg to see the tattoo on my foot that I knew. Like a static shock, I jumped.My friend, Ashley, knew it the same time I did because she looked at me and started to laugh. She said my eyes got so big, it was like I was looking at a ghost. From that moment on, I knew there was something there, and I wasn’t going to let it go until I knew what it was.
That was almost two years ago and I can remember the feeling as if it just happened. Well the feeling is kind of fresh because he makes me feel that spark every time he looks at me or touches me. It makes me fall in love with him all over again every time it happens.
The reason for wanting to marry this man is simple. I want to feel this feeling every day for the rest of my life. He is my “soul mate” and up until him, I never believed that that was a real thing. But he made me believe it. He is my best friend and a great man. He is strong hearted and strong willed. He is a wonderful provider and a great cook. He loves my boys as much as he loves me and I feel safe knowing that he is around us.
When I was a little girl I used to imagine what it would be like to have a loving and committed marriage, like my parent’s have. And in my past, I never thought a relationship could work without screaming and fighting. This beautiful man has shown me that love knows no hate. Love knows no anger, no bad words, and nothing but warm feelings and butterflies.
I love his man and I want to marry him for every reason you could want it marry a person.
Christopher and I met while we were juniors in high school. We were both in a Yearbook class that I think we can both say changed our life. We were both your typical high schoolers and complete opposites. He hung out with a bad group of friends and I had just experienced my first heart break. By the book, we should have never even taken interest in each other but clearly God had a different plan.
Almost a year after we met, we decided to begin dating. The years to come included going to college which meant a lot of changes for our relationship. Through the next four years we were completely confident in the fact that we were meant to be together forever. Being poor college students, Christopher entered a contest through a local news station to win an engagement ring. We won! We are both elated to spend the rest of our lives together.
He is not only my best friend, he is my soul-mate. I am 150% positive that we were always destined to meet. When I try to use words to describe how much he means, tears fill my eyes. He will never understand how he has saved me.
We are playing Train's "Marry Me" in the wedding because I literally cannot listen to it without crying. I would love the opportunity to take Christopher to a surprise concert and attempt to show him how much he means to me through music.
"Promise me youll always be happy by my side I promise to sing to you when all the music dies. Marry me Today and everyday" (Train)
My fiance, Edward James, is the epidemy of what every mother and father dreams for their little girl. He is the prince charming every girl dreams will sweep her off her feet one day and be her best friend, hero, and life long partner! We love to sing this song to eachother, it will be our first dance! It is beautiful and means so much to us, our relationship, and all that we have been through. He often will text me the lyrics just to put a smile on my face! The day I walk down the aisle to me Edward wil be the happiest day of my life, and its hard to top everyday with him.
Eddie was my economics teacher's assistant my first year of college, while he was working on his masters degree. We were instant friends, and although there were sparks we never acted upon it. I was a collegiate cheerleader at our University, and Eddie was always front row at games! We had something special in our friendship, the ability to talk for hours about everything including deeper topics, and we were completely comfortable with eachother. For my 20th Birthday, my family flew into to celebrate with me and it was my first time seeing my dad in one year from his deployment in Qatar. My mom met Eddie and asked me what I was thinking? She said, and I quote, "you need to marry that boy!"
He eventually graduated and left, and our friendship turned to a relationship of texts every so often. It was not until my Junior year of College when he randomly called to check in the morning after I had passed Kidney Stones and was forced to go to an away game to cheer. He was so kind, sweet, and caring. Two days later, on my way home from class, there were Vera Wang flowers with a beautiful get well card. From that moment on, I knew this was more than a friendship. I invited him to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family, and he did. He immediatley fit in.
Our love and closeness to our families is HUGE! And the acceptance of our significant other into our family is even bigger! We also both have the souls of wanderers and desire to help others. I had been planning a trip to Thailand for a long while to go and help an NGO in the remote area of hill tribes to help rescue and prevent sex trafficking for young girls. Eddie suprised me by quitting his job and we set off on our biggest adventure yet. We traveled and lived in the jungle of Thailand. It was the most difficult thing either of us have ever endured both physically and emotionally. We grew an attachment to our girls, and only having been back to the United states a few months, we try our best to remain in touch with them and keep them safe. Our hearts are always with them. and they are always on our minds. But the money ran out and it was time to come back home.
Eddie and I understand that not many people find in life what we have found in eachother, and we are so appreciative of eachother. Our values, passions, and love wrap us together in a cacoon that will forever bind us together allowing us to blossom into something even more beautiful that we are have. He is my best friend, and I trust him with my life. We have experienced so much and I look forward to "singing to him even when the music dies" just as the song says.
Live in the moment. Laugh 'til you can't breath. Love hard ALWAYS.

My fiance Brian is truly the best person I've ever met in my life!
We met in high school, didn't really hangout with the same crowds, graduated and never thought twice about it. Reconnecting 6 years after the fact was the greatest thing to ever happen to us. As a Fedex driver he delivered a package to my job and the rest is history.
We have inspired each other in so many ways and on so many levels. The most significant being his 105lbs. weight loss. He has changed his life around and inspired me to persue personal training and fitness counseling. Knowing that we will have decades more to spend with each other is the best gift he could have ever given me.
My Fiance is "the one" because I could not picture my life without him.
We are going to be married October 7th of this year & I am excited about what our future holds for us & the adventures we will take on together. We met almost 6 years ago on my 21st birthday & he has been looking out for me ever since. We dated through my senoir year of college in a long distance relationship & going through that made our relationship that much stronger. Now as we plan our wedding and for our future we are learning new things about each other everyday like new ways to make each other smile & how to deal with everyday stresses. Life is an adventure & that is how we treat our lives.
P.S. I will be walking down the ilse to him to "Marry Me". I heard this song for the first time in concert at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg PA & cried when I heard it. It is perfect & perfect for the start of my marriage to the man of my dreams.
MYYYY MAN..... Is the most caring, sweet, genuine guy out there. You know you have the man of your dreams when he treats you like a princess and you feel like you are in a love story! One of the hardest things that people go through is distance and going through 2 years of this before we became engaged made us the best of friends and closer than ever. I could never ask for someone to love me more... The day that I say "I do" will forever be the most special moment of my life!
Myyyyyyyyy Man...
has romantically slow danced with me in the living room to Train "Marry Me", how many guys will do that?
On Nov. 13th, Friday the 13th, I was attending a work conference, as was my now fiance. Behind the resort is a bar that many people often attend for happy hour and take up on the nightly festivites. Unfortunately, I had received a call that morning from my dad telling me that my grandfather had passed away. I wasn't up for doing anything that night, however, I was talked into getting out of the hotel room by some of my co-workers to take my mind off things. I swore to the girls I was only going out for one drink, yet he intrigued me enough to want to stay and meet him. Thankfully, because I am such a chicken, he came up to me and asked me if I wanted to dance. NOTE** the song was "Get Low" by Flo Rida. After some hesitation because of his song choice, I thought, I'm not blowing this, so we did an awesome rendition to boots with the fur We ended up hanging out the rest of the night and closed the place down. That Sunday, we met up for dinner and watched the Cowboys game. I lived 3 1/2 hours away at the time and due to unfortunate circumstances, I was returning to town to attend my grandfathers funeral the following weekend. That Tuesday he sent me flowers to work and the card read "I'm so glad we met. Then "try and stay strong this week." I have no doubt God put someone so amazing in my life, the very day he took someone out. He is more amazing than I even feel I deserve. I never knew fate existed until now. I also give credit to my pawpaw, who knew just what I needed.
Shannon is the most amazing man I have ever met. We met through a chance encounter on facebook and he asked if we could have a quick drink that night, we immediatley fell in love. A few weeks later we moved in together. Shannon is a man's man. Every morning he will make me coffee and prepare it just how i like it. If I am hungry, he makes sure I eat. He always makes sure the cars are full of gas so I dont have to waste time during my errands. We both share our love for mountain biking and most recently road biking. He always makes sure my bike it ready to ridden on. We work together. Although many people told us that was a mistake, I still came to work for him. I help him run his jewelery store. He says I am his office manager. Every morning when we get to work he says " what will you be wearing today from your giant jewelery box today?" He loves that I do my hair and makeup differently everyday; say's he falls in love with me everyday all over again! During the month of January we went to Austin, Texas several times and at that time Marry Me by train kept playing and playing on XM during our drive up there and coming home. The last time we went to Austin January 28th, he proposed. Later that evening he said " On our way up here everytime I'd listen to Marry Me by Train all I could think of was the ring in my pocket" Ever since then, we he hears it on the radio he takes video of the XM screen of the car while the song is playing and texts it to me. Every time. It never fails. He is sweet like that. Always thinks of me first. He says I am his number one priority then his business because If all else fails we still have each other. He has mentioned that I have made him want children because I will make a good mother. He didn't want kids before he met me; that makes me love him even more so. I love him so much and because of all this and so much more, my fiancee is THE ONE I want to spend the rest of my life with. I can't wait to start my life as a married couple!
from the first date we have known, we are so alike down to the way we eat! he is my best friend, and will always be there for me.
Every time my family lets me down, I dont even have to say it he is right there to be my family. We are starting a new family is what he says! He has redefined the word family for me.
He gives me incouragement rather than telling me I will fail like i have learned all my life from everone. He is my rock and everything I have ever wanted and everything I didnt think I would need.
On top of all that he gets that I am just a chemistry geek and loves me even more for it!
People always say that you know when you know. I had envisioned I would meet my knight and shining armor in the grocery store picking out produce. We would reach for the same vidalia onion, laugh, and somehome strike up a conversation and live happily every after. After many years of seeking out the eligible bachelors, I finally made a realization. I was still single while my friends were moving on in their lives, getting married, and having babies. With four of my girlfriends, we decided to do one thing; we would sign up for online dating. I would give it 3 months; I could live with 3 months of trying something out of comfort zone, right? I purused page after page of eligible men, reading up on them and trying to decide whether or not they were telling the truth or even right for me. After one week and some crazy responses of men I had never met telling me that we would spend the rest of our lives together, finally a possibilty arose! We chatted over email and over the phone until we finally met. The day dragged on forever. We had just returned from Labor Day weekend. Today was the day, I thought, as I drove after work to Starbucks. My heart pounded as I got closer and kept hoping that this would turn out great. As I pulled up, I saw the police car and knew it was him. We sat for almost 2 hours...talking about odds and ends and drinking the same thing, a black iced tea with two sweet and lows. He left the next day to attend his sister's wedding out of state. We talked everyday and as they say, the rest is really history. I finally took a chance in my life to do something out of my comfort zone. That's how I know he is the one. We finish each other's sentences, laugh at the same jokes, and I am not complete without him by my side. I can't wait to walk down the aisle to Train's "Marry Me".
As cliche' at this sounds... ever since I was a little girl and boys stopped having cooties and started making my heart flutter, I wondered who would be "the one." Well, I met him at church and thought to myself...."it would be really neat to date Wes..." I was in the choir with his parents who always made me laugh and I used to think how I'd love to be a part of their family. It was the church he grew up in and where my family has been attending now for about 10 years since ironically my boyfriend at the time brought me there...Wes was just a good friend from church but nothing more...up until we reconnected September of 2007 while I was at The University of South Carolina and he was in the Army. He emailed me asking if we could hang out when I came home for Christmas Break~ we never hung out outside of youth group at church, but a part of me always wanted to and we admitted to eachother we had crushes on one-another all along...He also told me then, that it would be nice to catch up at home before he left after Christmas for Afghanistan for a year.. A week before that Christmas, his Dad picked him up from North Carolina after he finished up some training, and as soon as he got home he showered and came right over to my sister's house for our "Tacky Christmas Sweater Party." I really give him credit because all three siblings of mine and their significant others were there along with my best friends. After that we had our first official date Christmas night watching "Elf" at his parents' house. Nervous as ever I slipped and fell on ice walking up his driveway and played with my scarf the whole night. Butterflies consumed my stomach and I had never felt something like this before. We had our first kiss that night and I'm telling you, it could have been in a movie and there would have been fireworks going off and the whole bit~ it was incredible!....Our feelings continued to grow and we spent the last days together before he left to go overseas. One of the nights before he left he told me he loved me...I was too afraid to admit I was feeling the same...had my guard up..but told him I was falling so hard...He left and we talked every moment we could while he was away, going weeks without knowing he was alive and safe...but he returned home that next Thanksgiving where we reunited with filled hearts. I don' t know how but I continue to love him more and more every single day. He is my best friend, my soul-mate, he is my person and "the one". I laugh the hardest when I am with him, and can't stop smiling knowing what we have. Hearing Train's song "Marry Me" puts tears in my eyes and makes my heart pound thinking of Wes, knowing we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. It is music like their's that is so unbelievably uplifting and dear to my heart. Over Christmas this past year 2010, I opened a gift from Wes, a t-shit, and this is what I read when I opened it..."Army France." I thought.. well that's cute..he knows I had French in highschool and always wanted to visit there. Ha!...You see, I was a little thrown off in reading it also because he was getting down on one knee at the same time. The t-shirt actually read "Army Fiance' " with a ring and the words "Wes and Lauren Christmas 2010"...I couldn't believe my ears and eyes when he asked me to make him the happiest man in the world and be his wife. This is absolutely a Wes and Lauren moment where we laughed and I cried at how it all played out. Our wedding is set for Sept. 29, 2012 where we will get married on my grandparents 61st Wedding Anniversary. I am proud to say I am so lucky and Blessed to have Wes in my life and to be able to share a future with him. I could write a lot more but I know I should have probably stopped by now. Wes truly is "the one" for me, and I cannot wait to walk down the isle to him!
Everyone always says that I'm to young to be in love. But love finds you and you can't do anything about it. Tyler is my best friend, my other half, and everything I've ever needed or wanted in someone. We have so much in common, but the things we don't have in common we don't let get in the way of our relationship. We work through them. I honestly believe he's the one because no matter what I do or say, he never gives up on me. He supports me 100%. It makes me feel invincible. Like nothing can ever get in my way. And nobody else has ever made me felt that way. He always tells me to fullfill my dreams and no matter what happens, he'll always be there. He's my perfect match. He's the only person I've ever been my true self with, and he still loves me. He's the one because before I was with him, I honestly never believed in love before. But he made me a true fairytale believer. Anythings possible. I think I found that fairytale romance that every girl dreams about.

Ask me stuff.
I can always be myself in front of her. She laughs with my silly inner child. She contends with my challenging intellectual side. She gets just as competitive as me at everything, but in the end we both win every game because it always ends in a kiss.
She challenges me to learn more and do more everyday. She gets me to venture beyond my comfort zone and try new things. She gives me new dreams that I had never pondered. With each passing day, I reminisce on our and veer into our future with a smile. She is always there standing by my side, holding my hand with her head on my shoulder.

SHUT. IT!
Fred Rogers
Marry Me by Train is going to be our first dance at our wedding. My fiance played it for me and it fit perfectly. When I hear the song it reminds me of how we met and the way my FI tells me over and over how I'm never close enough and that even if we could get all the years back we didn't know each other it still would not be long enough. Finally I now know what it feels like to have found the one!
After over 20yrs of marriage to Mr. Wrong, I finally left, always longing For THE ONE!. Pondering this ? , Is there really someone out there who is meant just for me? A SOULMATE? Please stay with me as my story unfolds.
May of last year , I discovered TRAIN. I knew of the song, Drops of Jupiter, but not the Group who sang it.
Than I heard of Soulsister, and that it was TRAIN, so excited I ran out and got the cd.
November I started dating, met a wonderful man, and than introduced him to TRAIN. We both fell in love with their music, than magically with each other, and ever since than , weve been living out the words and inspiration of their songs, almost to the T, it's unbelievable , amazing , but true.
After only 2 months of being together, he said move in, why wait, your my SOULMATE!! so I did.
We are so in love, no one compares to him ,I love him from his toes, to his face., and when we kiss, I get chills all over, he say's I take his breath away. Every letter and every note & every day , is better than the day before.
We can never out wear the words I Love You, & every day without fail , he says Im beautiful!!!
He is the best thing in my life & the greatest thing about me. We wake up smiling, and laugh & sing all day, there's so much joy!
Im addicted to his love & he to mine, he wash'es away my pain, and opens up to me, and like a parachute he is my safety net, my calm when I see red, and without a doubt, he's way better than Breakfast in Bed.
We are so much alike, he's one of my kind, with a soulmate connection, that just blows my mind. Were two peas in a pod, two birds of a feather, and Forever can never be long enough with him, so we decided it's forever!!! With all that said, now
theres only ONE THING LEFT TO DO MARRY ME EDY !!!! I LOVE YOU!!!! SAY YOU WILL!!!! : )
Meet Virginia, our home state. I’m just an all American girl and this is our story and my tribute to Train, read closely! My best friend, Anna, and I have been friends since 7th grade. Through some fun and tough times our friendship has always remained. She is a friend who knows your every color, good and bad and accepts you for who you are. At times I felt like I had been calling all angels to help me find love in my life. After moving back home she listened to me complain about my previous relationships, frustrations and how I just wanted something more. Then she listened to her brother’s similar explanation of his relationships and realized that the two of us were very similar in what we were looking for in someone to share our lives with. Although Jon and I had known each other for a long time, neither of us had contemplated this relationship because of Anna and I being such good friends. But in the end that’s what friends are for. She told her brother, “I wish you would just ask her out!” She opened the door to our relationship and encouraged the growth of our relationship even in the face of uncertainty and risk to our relationship. She is a true friend. If I can’t change your mind maybe I can change your heart.
She invited Jon and I to a New Years party in 2008 so that we would ride together. We partied the night away, had a blast and rode the cab back home. It started there. After meeting Anna weekly for margaritas and Mexican food we were officially dating. Following rita (many margaritas to be exact), we decided to let it roll and see where things would take us. Jon is a helicopter pilot and gave me a birthday certificate for a flight. I was extremely nervous for this first helicopter flight and felt I needed a parachute for safety but it was smooth flying. Jon found himself counting airplanes at the flight school when the economy tanked so he had to start anew working on radio systems. Jon has to spend many days away from home now. He hasn’t had to go to Mississippi or Idaho but he has gone to Connecticut and Oklahoma. He gets a little homesick but enjoys his work. I’m a veterinarian, working on dogs, cats, a few rabbits here or there, a rat or two, and other small animals. Although I get lots of respect, I get very few chances to getaway. I’m about to come alive with the chance to see train in concert. Whether it’s on a skyscraper in New York, Half Moon Bay in California, or Lincoln Avenue, I am ready to go see Train. If you leave without us we will be dismayed!
All I ever wanted was someone whom I could love and be loved with no strings attached. Jon decided to shake up Christmas 2010 by proposing and asking to marry me by the tree while I was unwrapping presents! Some say love is blind; I say if it’s love you already know. Love can be tough and heavy at times or free and light like a sweet rain. Either way you have to build your relationship brick by brick. Jon, you don’t need to be my whipping boy just my private nation.
This I am sure, at the finish line I want my two biggest friends at my side, Jon and Anna.
Jon, words can’t describe how much I love you. I’m not waiting in line for love anymore, for me it’s you Jon. I got you with all the crazy hopeless love and abandon I can imagine. Whether its breakfast in bed, eggplant parmesan dinner, or flowers, you manage to find unique ways to get to me and express your love. Always remember, its love that binds us.
Anna, this ain’t goodbye to your best friend but hello to your new sister! It’s about you being selfless and a great friend. She has always been the friend to shelter me with her umbrella of friendship and understanding. She’s on fire at other times just like her red hair, strong willed and opinionated. She always has good advice.
Am I reaching you now? Do you know how much Jon and I would LOVE to meet and hear Train in concert? We would love to be jamming and swaying to Hey Soul Sister, Drops of Jupitor, Save me San Francisco. All I hear is my favorite song, when I look to the sky and Jon’s favorite from the live TV show Dream on. Don’t forget to get out and save the day in September for our wedding!
But from that moment on, he was mine. Even as my friend I loved him dearly. We ended up dating about 6 months later, and broke it off. He needed more time to be single. He was pretty newly divorced when we moved in together. So, for almost a year we lived together, loved together, and weren't a couple. It was one of that hardest things we have both ever done. We talked multiple times about moving out and moving on, and neither of us could do it. We needed to be together.
So, we got our act together and got back together and it's been wonderful ever since. He has two children already, and they are amazing. We don't want more kids. His are perfect, and we have our dog to raise.
When it came time to get engaged, we picked a date (July 3rd, 2011), then bought a ring together. Then he proposed a couple weeks later. Now we are buying a house. We get married in just under two months.
So we may have done everything backwards, but that's us. We wouldn't have it any other way. And my fiance is amazing. When I'm down, and feeling so low I can't move, he has this ability to make me smile again. He'll physically pull me out of bed and make me go out in the world and be somebody....a better somebody. And I find myself being happy again. He's my sidekick, and I'm his too. He manages to support me no matter how silly my cause may be. If I'm hurt because nobody likes my silly donkey cake toppers, he says, screw them. They are OUR donkey cake toppers and nobody else has to understand. We get it. Whether my dream at the moment is to skydive, learn to ride a motorcycle (and then buy one), spend my time volunteering to help 4H'ers learn to ride their horses, or organize charity walks, he fully supports me and helps me knock down any opposition that says I can't.
He keeps me grounded when I need it, and knocks me off the ground every time I see him. Neither of us are perfect, but I feel perfect when I'm with him. I couldn't imagine coming home to anyone else.
Also, Marry Me by Train was an easy pick for our first dance.
When I met my fiance we just couldn't stand the sight of each other... he thought I was a busy-body, I thought he was just a plain idiot. So it really wasn't a case of love at first sight!
Things started to change slowly, once we actually tried talking to each other. We realised that as much as we put on a strong facade, we were both really soft underneath, we had a similar past with regards to realtionships, and he had the most amazing voice, which I fell in love with... but the confirmation that we were made for each other came at a performance when I walked in all dressed up and he couldn't take his eyes off me... and I couldn't take my eyes off him too... he looked gorgeous.
A few weeks later we were dating... a month later... he proposed!
He's the one because we have so much in common, we love doing the same things, like travelling and even though we do have our ups and downs we always manage to work things out and end up feeling closer than before
This should be a very easy question to answer, but then again it is very hard to describe a feeling of emotion you have for another person. For others who have been in love or are in love, they just know the feeling and can relate automatically. I decided to write my explanation as if I were talking to someone who had never experienced what I am experiencing or an alien! So here goes…
God has given us many gifts in life. The bible says the best gift of all, besides his son, was the ability to love one another. The love I feel for Josh is more than just the automatic feel of love, as a mother feels love for her children; or a child that loves it’s parents. Those feelings of love come natural and almost automatic. What I got to experience with Josh was “falling” in love. I have been “in love” before but it has never felt like this.
The moment I ran into Josh, it was like a lightening strike. It was weird. I couldn’t stop looking at him, trying to see whom he was talking to, if he were possibly look at me too. At first it was not obvious to me. It wasn’t until he passed by me and touched my leg to see the tattoo on my foot that I knew. Like a static shock, I jumped. My friend, Ashley, knew it the same time I did because she looked at me and started to laugh. She said my eyes got so big, it was like I was looking at a ghost. From that moment on, I knew there was something there, and I wasn’t going to let it go until I knew what it was.
That was almost two years ago and I can remember the feeling as if it just happened. Well the feeling is kind of fresh because he makes me feel that spark every time he looks at me or touches me. It makes me fall in love with him all over again every time it happens.
The reason for wanting to marry this man is simple. I want to feel this feeling every day for the rest of my life. He is my “soul mate” and up until him, I never believed that that was a real thing. But he made me believe it. He is my best friend and a great man. He is strong hearted and strong willed. He is a wonderful provider and a great cook. He loves my boys as much as he loves me and I feel safe knowing that he is around us.
When I was a little girl I used to imagine what it would be like to have a loving and committed marriage, like my parent’s have. And in my past, I never thought a relationship could work without screaming and fighting. This beautiful man has shown me that love knows no hate. Love knows no anger, no bad words, and nothing but warm feelings and butterflies.
I love his man and I want to marry him for every reason you could want it marry a person.
Almost a year after we met, we decided to begin dating. The years to come included going to college which meant a lot of changes for our relationship. Through the next four years we were completely confident in the fact that we were meant to be together forever. Being poor college students, Christopher entered a contest through a local news station to win an engagement ring. We won! We are both elated to spend the rest of our lives together.
He is not only my best friend, he is my soul-mate. I am 150% positive that we were always destined to meet. When I try to use words to describe how much he means, tears fill my eyes. He will never understand how he has saved me.
We are playing Train's "Marry Me" in the wedding because I literally cannot listen to it without crying. I would love the opportunity to take Christopher to a surprise concert and attempt to show him how much he means to me through music.
happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
when all the music dies.
Marry me
Today and everyday"

Eddie was my economics teacher's assistant my first year of college, while he was working on his masters degree. We were instant friends, and although there were sparks we never acted upon it. I was a collegiate cheerleader at our University, and Eddie was always front row at games! We had something special in our friendship, the ability to talk for hours about everything including deeper topics, and we were completely comfortable with eachother. For my 20th Birthday, my family flew into to celebrate with me and it was my first time seeing my dad in one year from his deployment in Qatar. My mom met Eddie and asked me what I was thinking? She said, and I quote, "you need to marry that boy!"
He eventually graduated and left, and our friendship turned to a relationship of texts every so often. It was not until my Junior year of College when he randomly called to check in the morning after I had passed Kidney Stones and was forced to go to an away game to cheer. He was so kind, sweet, and caring. Two days later, on my way home from class, there were Vera Wang flowers with a beautiful get well card. From that moment on, I knew this was more than a friendship. I invited him to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family, and he did. He immediatley fit in.
Our love and closeness to our families is HUGE! And the acceptance of our significant other into our family is even bigger! We also both have the souls of wanderers and desire to help others. I had been planning a trip to Thailand for a long while to go and help an NGO in the remote area of hill tribes to help rescue and prevent sex trafficking for young girls. Eddie suprised me by quitting his job and we set off on our biggest adventure yet. We traveled and lived in the jungle of Thailand. It was the most difficult thing either of us have ever endured both physically and emotionally. We grew an attachment to our girls, and only having been back to the United states a few months, we try our best to remain in touch with them and keep them safe. Our hearts are always with them. and they are always on our minds. But the money ran out and it was time to come back home.
Eddie and I understand that not many people find in life what we have found in eachother, and we are so appreciative of eachother. Our values, passions, and love wrap us together in a cacoon that will forever bind us together allowing us to blossom into something even more beautiful that we are have. He is my best friend, and I trust him with my life. We have experienced so much and I look forward to "singing to him even when the music dies" just as the song says.
My fiance Brian is truly the best person I've ever met in my life!
Sept 1st 2012
We met in high school, didn't really hangout with the same crowds, graduated and never thought twice about it. Reconnecting 6 years after the fact was the greatest thing to ever happen to us. As a Fedex driver he delivered a package to my job and the rest is history.
We have inspired each other in so many ways and on so many levels. The most significant being his 105lbs. weight loss. He has changed his life around and inspired me to persue personal training and fitness counseling. Knowing that we will have decades more to spend with each other is the best gift he could have ever given me.
We are going to be married October 7th of this year & I am excited about what our future holds for us & the adventures we will take on together. We met almost 6 years ago on my 21st birthday & he has been looking out for me ever since. We dated through my senoir year of college in a long distance relationship & going through that made our relationship that much stronger. Now as we plan our wedding and for our future we are learning new things about each other everyday like new ways to make each other smile & how to deal with everyday stresses. Life is an adventure & that is how we treat our lives.

P.S.
I will be walking down the ilse to him to "Marry Me". I heard this song for the first time in concert at the Sherman Theater in Stroudsburg PA & cried when I heard it. It is perfect & perfect for the start of my marriage to the man of my dreams.
MYYYY MAN.....
Is the most caring, sweet, genuine guy out there. You know you have the man of your dreams when he treats you like a princess and you feel like you are in a love story!
One of the hardest things that people go through is distance and going through 2 years of this before we became engaged made us the best of friends and closer than ever.
I could never ask for someone to love me more...
The day that I say "I do" will forever be the most special moment of my life!
Myyyyyyyyy Man...
has romantically slow danced with me in the living room to Train "Marry Me", how many guys will do that?
I LOVE HIM!
On Nov. 13th, Friday the 13th, I was attending a work conference, as was my now fiance. Behind the resort is a bar that many people often attend for happy hour and take up on the nightly festivites. Unfortunately, I had received a call that morning from my dad telling me that my grandfather had passed away. I wasn't up for doing anything that night, however, I was talked into getting out of the hotel room by some of my co-workers to take my mind off things. I swore to the girls I was only going out for one drink, yet he intrigued me enough to want to stay and meet him. Thankfully, because I am such a chicken, he came up to me and asked me if I wanted to dance. NOTE** the song was "Get Low" by Flo Rida. After some hesitation because of his song choice, I thought, I'm not blowing this, so we did an awesome rendition to boots with the fur
We ended up hanging out the rest of the night and closed the place down. That Sunday, we met up for dinner and watched the Cowboys game. I lived 3 1/2 hours away at the time and due to unfortunate circumstances, I was returning to town to attend my grandfathers funeral the following weekend. That Tuesday he sent me flowers to work and the card read "I'm so glad we met. Then "try and stay strong this week." I have no doubt God put someone so amazing in my life, the very day he took someone out. He is more amazing than I even feel I deserve. I never knew fate existed until now. I also give credit to my pawpaw, who knew just what I needed.
Every time my family lets me down, I dont even have to say it he is right there to be my family. We are starting a new family is what he says! He has redefined the word family for me.
He gives me incouragement rather than telling me I will fail like i have learned all my life from everone. He is my rock and everything I have ever wanted and everything I didnt think I would need.
On top of all that he gets that I am just a chemistry geek and loves me even more for it!
A week before that Christmas, his Dad picked him up from North Carolina after he finished up some training, and as soon as he got home he showered and came right over to my sister's house for our "Tacky Christmas Sweater Party." I really give him credit because all three siblings of mine and their significant others were there along with my best friends. After that we had our first official date Christmas night watching "Elf" at his parents' house. Nervous as ever I slipped and fell on ice walking up his driveway and played with my scarf the whole night. Butterflies consumed my stomach and I had never felt something like this before. We had our first kiss that night and I'm telling you, it could have been in a movie and there would have been fireworks going off and the whole bit~ it was incredible!....Our feelings continued to grow and we spent the last days together before he left to go overseas.

I laugh the hardest when I am with him, and can't stop smiling knowing what we have. Hearing Train's song "Marry Me" puts tears in my eyes and makes my heart pound thinking of Wes, knowing we are going to spend the rest of our lives together. It is music like their's that is so unbelievably uplifting and dear to my heart.
