August 2012 Weddings

what's the best thing about your FI?

Im laying in bed listening to my FI sleep (which means snore).  He has to be up at 2 am to go to  work.  He works 50+ hours a week-and has full custody of his two teenagers...who, with 1 turning 18 and going off to college and the other 16 and trying to become a man, require a lot of his time.  And as a I lay here watching him sleep, I can't help but feel so lucky to have him in my life.  I think it would be impossible to pick only one 'best quality' about him-but at this moment, I can't help but realize all he sacrifices for his family, and how hard he works for us, and with all the demands on his time, makes sure that he every day give me one on one, quality time.

  • Besides being pretty darn hot, and a great person with an amazing sense of humor. Chris is really creative. He can make pretty much anything, which is really helpful. He is always willing, well usually willing to help me with anything (from setting up and breaking down classrooms when I was teaching to folding laundry).... it's the little things he does that make him the perfect match for me....

  • He has so many qualities that I love, but I think the fact he understands me so well is one of the most attractive things. He is also always willing to do little things that make a big difference...like spending this afternoon helping my grandma in her garden.
  • Oh goodness, Greg is absolutely amazing. He's smart, funny, hard working... He's creative and handy. And omg he's incredibly sexy. Seriously, this guy is like a cinderblock. He's not very tall (5'7.5") but he's tough. And he has this mix of Johnny Depp / Paul Walker look going. Very hot LOL

    But my absolute favorite thing about him? How he is with my daughter. Her biological father is a total piece of crap (he abused me, cheated on me and abadoned her. She's 6 1/2 years old and he hasn't been involved in 6 years now). Greg stepped into the father role immediately upon us beginning our romance. I even told him he didn't have to be involved with her at all - but he wanted the family aspect and he took charge. He helped me pick the school for her and when school started he got her ready in the mornings and took her to school because I had to work at 7am and he worked right by her school whereas I worked out in the sticks. He has almost endless patience with her (it  takes a LONG time to get him upset but then he doesn't yell, he just walks away and lets me deal with it). He's such a wonderful father and honestly those two should have had the biological link. Everyone says she looks like him anyway so I take that as a sign from God that he was meant for her. That and the fact that when I brought him along for a trip to the zoo and had prayed that God would give me a sign based upon Cheyenne's reaction to him - when he stepped away and I asked Cheyenne what she thought she said "He seems like a really nice man, maybe he could be my daddy?" that was the only sign I needed :) I've never loved anyone the way I love Greg.

  • Oh goodness, this is tough. I love him for so many things (granted, there's some little things that drive me crazy about him but even those things are a reminder of how well I know him- like the way he drowns his salad in dressing.) If I had to pick, two things stand out in my mind- his thoughtfulness and stability. I'm vegan and he's omnivorous but he's never pressured me to be anything else and always looks for things I can eat when we're thinking of going out to eat or when we're shopping. He adores our cats ("the boys") and our Henry loves him so much- he watches for him in the window, runs to the door when he sees him coming, and races him up the stairs to the bedroom so he can stick his head between the bars in the stairwell and give him kisses as he comes up. He's never let me down and he's always been supportive of the things I do, whether it working in an animal shelter (my previous job) or with disabled preschoolers (my current job.) He is patient- he taught me to drive(!)- and affectionate (he says he loves me all the time.)

  • There about hundreds of great things I can say about my fiance.

    I think what is the most important is that he holds me to the same standards he holds for himself.

  • The best thing about FI is how happy he makes me. I've always been very self concious and I guess slightly depressed my whole life until I met him and started dating him. He allowed me to be me and broke me out of my shell and I am truely happy now. When ever Im sad or falling into a funk he can easily make me smile and happy. I can also be pissed off and mad at him until he walks through the front door and gets me to smile or laugh and its like whatever happened never happened (we do talk things though but he makes me happy and rational again :P)

  • Hmm, I have to pick one thing?  LOL!  My FI is the best for so many reasons, but if I had to pick one it is because of the little things he does that are so romantic/sweet, and that is because he knows me so well.  I can be having a bad day, and he knows without looking at me (and knows exactly what to do to make me feel better).  He is an amazing man, and loves kids (which helps because I want kids).  We share so many common interests, but are also different enough that it stays exciting!!  I think a huge thing though, is I've always felt comfortable with him, and never feel pressured to do things that I'd rather not do (unlike some old guy friends of mine).  FI makes me feel beautiful, even when I am sick.  I have always had self esteem issues (especially with my stomach which is a bit poochy no matter what I try), and FI always says, "it's good to have a little extra there, it will protect our baby", or he says, "you look natural, and that is what makes you so much more beautiful than any other girl".  I love that I can be in jammies and no makeup, and FI says I look gorgeous :)

  • Brian makes me laugh! I have never giggled as much as I did on our first date and it hasn't stopped since. He has the most wonderful capacity to calm me down when I'm getting stressed, to make me see the lighter side of situations and to just be there for me when I need him. It took a long time for him to say I Love You, but now he tells me all the time and I know he means it which is fabulous! I love my Boo and he loves me! PS and he has tried to stay involved in all the aspects of the wedding, which I am greatful for.
