What makes my Fiance the one? He's my calming factor when I'm stressed, yet always knows how to keep me on my toes. I never know what to expect from the day when I'm with him. We are very different yet share so many common interests which I feel is what makes us attracted to each other. He spoils me to death but not the the point that I am a spoiled brat. I feel like I'm a strong woman but when ever I need a small pick up, he is my solid rock to ease the pain. He makes me want to be a better person and achieve my highest goals. He encourages me to keep moving to the next level even after i've hit a point. I never feel good enough for him because i think he deserves the world so I work hard to be all I can be for him, just like he does for me. It's been over three years that we've been together and he still gives me the butterflies. The fact that he still puts up with my buffoonery is what really makes him a prize. He's someone who loves me and cares for me the way that I am and would never try to change a thing about me, nor I him. We're crazy and fun and enjoy each others company more than any over priced, giant TV. We love our dogs and family and friends. He has truly made me a better person in this sometimes sad world and opened my eyes up the joy and happiness that can be found beneath it. He is my rock, my hero, my crowning jewel, but mostly he is the love of my life and the man of my dreams. I don't know how I got so lucky but I did and God's loving graces have truly shined down upon me.
My fiance is the one for me. I know this because he has a heart of gold. He makes me laugh, soothes me when I cry and loves my seventeen year old daughter even when she doesn't love him back! When my parents died last year (about a month apart) he was there, cleaning my mother's house (on HIS birthday) when she was too sick to get out of bed. He babysat my niece (all day long without any experience or complaints) when we had to go through the family estate. He is romantic, smart and kind. He tells me every day that he loves me and that I am beautiful -even when I don't feel like it. I love him and know he is the one for me!
What makes Mathew the "one," you ask? Well, there is no one defining thing. Its everything about my soldier, from the way he laughs, to his amazing smile, to how his arms feel wrapped around me in a bear hug. We met originally six months ago, and became quick friends. He was likable, lovable, and a total sweet heart. He was my best friend. We're both in the military, and so we spend a lot of time together. Well, after watching me date another guy, he realized he wanted to be with me, and he wasn't going to let me slip away. He made me see just how much I needed him. And how much I was already in love with him. Our fates were already intertwined. We were made for one another. In every aspect, he completes me. I'm corny and easily amused, and he laughs at my silly jokes. I'm hot headed and emotional, whereas he's down to earth and extremely calm. Even in the heat of the moment, he keeps his cool a lot better than me. He's protective, of me and my children, and will do anything and everything for the three of us. He holds me, he loves me, and he is everything to me. I cant picture my life without my soldier, and I know that even if the Army claims him in Iraq, he was making the world a better place. For me. For my kids. And for everyone else. Because that's the kind of guy he is: outgoing, hard working, and straight forward. We're getting married in August, as I don't want to be separated from him once I get my new duty station. I cant wait to be Mrs. Mathew Chitty. And for me to officially be able to call him mine.
My fiance Tim is my hero both in life and in love! We met while we both worked at The Home Depot (very romantic love story right here!!) and it took awhile for Tim to finally work up the courage to ask me out but I couldn't be happier that he did. When we look back at our first date we always say that it is so 'us' nothing overly special or fancy, just two people talking all night and learning so much about each other. I am by no means graceful and Tim learned that on our very first date as I tripped 3 or 4 times throughout the course of the evening. Ever since that first date Tim has always been there to catch me just as I'm about to fall. No matter how stressful life has gotten Tim has always been there with a shoulder and a hug which is always the one thing I need to make life so much better. Tim is the most selfless person I have ever met as he is currently deployed overseas risking his life (the biggest sacrifice) to help keep all of us here safe. No matter how many miles are between us, I know that his heart and mine will always be together. I couldn't be more proud of the person that he is and I truly am blessed to be a part of his life. No matter where life takes us, I know the trip will be worthwihile because we'll be side-by-side experiencing every moment together. Being with Tim has made me a better person and I will be forever grateful for The Home Depot. Not only is Tim my rock, he is my one and only!
I had given up on men completely before I met my fiance, Lu. I had been lied to, cheated on, and broken hearted one too many times for someone my age.
Then came my best friend's 21st birthday. I was just going to stay home like I did every Friday night and work on a paper that was due. Instead, I took her to her first bar, where I was told our mutual friend knew of a party he wanted to go to. So we went.
We followed him into a neighboring town and stopped at the grocery store to get some sodas for the Parrot Bay I bought her for her birthday. When were going in, we saw our friend stop and talk to a group of guys. Thats when I saw him...all six feet of him in a white t-shirt, blue jeans and a backwards black ball cap. I don't know why I was staring, but when we locked eyes, I just knew. I know that sounds cheesy, but that is exactly what we did. We stared for a good minute, with those dumb smiles on our face. I had the moment women have in movies, where the world is silenced around them and the only thing they see is the person staring at them.
We went to his house and had a small party. We played beer pong for about 2 hours (I beat him, pretty badly too). We spent the night throwing playful insults at each other; mostly poking fun at something I or he said. I loved how he could keep up with me and his sense of humor was amazing. He ended up dissapearing for a while (he later told me his stomach was iffy and wasn't feeling so great). Our friends wanted to leave, but I kept hoping he would come out of the bathroom soon..and he did. I smiled so big when I saw him come out of the bathroom and sit next to me. I leaned into him and felt instatly warm.
The rest of the night went by in a blur. A lot of hand holding, cuddling and gazing. How could it be the man of my dreams was sitting next to me and holding onto me...holding me so tightly? It felt right. I didn't want to leave.
The next day, he looked at me and said exactly this "So, you want to be my girlfriend and crap?" (he's from California and loves to rag on Californians, and this was his attempt at it). I, of course, said yes. After a few weeks, I moved in with the most perfect man in the world. Ever since then, I have been happy. In February he proposed. In July, we will be getting married and will become one for forever.
My fiance is the one because we went to the same high school and couldn't stand each other. Two years later I met him when I was trying to find my dad at the bars (I was not 21). He was celebrating his 21st and he almost tackled me as he came out of a bar. I was 5 months pregnant at the time (because I was taken advatage of at a party and don't believe in abortion). He was so kind as to stop his party and help me find my dad. When I left I gave him my friends number as my phone was dead. He texted me on her phone and we chatted the rest of the night. We hung out for the next two months before I moved to North Carolina ( I'm from SD so not a close drive away). I never really thought about him as more than a friend until I had moved to help my grandparents and have my baby. He stayed up until 3am almost every night even though he had class at 7am. I dealt with a crazy guy who was threatening to kill because I was having my son adopted. My fiance listened to me night after night crying and trying not to lose my mind. After my son was born and the family had left, I went back to SD to visit my now fiance for the first time since I left. I showed up for the halloween dance at his school and from the second I got out of my car til I had to leave we were inseperable. I never knew how much I looked forward to talking to him and hearing his voice until I had to say goodbye. I went back to NC and he bought me a plane ticket a month later to come live with him. We have never been apart since I am still shocked as to how he has put up with me being depressed after having a child. He is the most amazing man ever! Any man who can stand by a woman who is pregnant with another mans child deserves an award!! We are planning to get married 9/16/12 and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. He is my best friend and the only person who truely understands what I have been through! We both work all the time and a trip to see Train would be the first "vacation" we could take together. Please pick us he deserves to win this!
My fiancee' is my best friend. We are high school sweethearts from a small town in North Dakota, and we just celebrated our 6 year anniversary last month. We are complete opposites...he likes the country life including hunting and fishing. I am a city girl at heart who loves shopping and makeup. We have had our fair share of hard times throughout our relationship including three years of long distance when he was away at college, but we made it through as we always do. Getting through those hardships is what makes us so strong as a couple, and I truly never knew it was possible to have the kind of support I get from him. He knows exactly how to push my buttons and exactly how to make me laugh until I cry. He can read me like a book. Just the other day he came home with a bouqet of flowers for me for no reason...lilies and daisies....my favorite. :He doesn't just hear me but he listens to me. I know for a fact he would do anything in the world for me. He proposed to me on our first big trip together which was to NYC in Summer 2009 on pier 14 along the Hudson...I am honored to be able to call Adam my husband this coming July...I truly am a lucky girl...
I am not even sure where our story truly begins... My Aunt and his mom have been best friends since their Freshmen year in high school and have maintained a very good friendship. They would visit eachother and our families would get together at least every other year. Since Blake and I were born they have both been plotting how to make us date so they could somehow be related. In high school we started emailing back and forth because Blake lived in Iceland at the time. I had a crush on him in high school and college. We continued talking in College as well. I was in nursing school and studying to be in the specialty of Cancer at the time he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. We continued to talk on and off throughout his treatments and finally his remission. New Years this year we saw eachother after about 2 years of not seeing eachother and even though I was in a relationship at the time the feelings I had for him returned. A few weeks later I broke up with that guy and Blake came back in town. He was a complete gentleman and just maintained a friendship until later that Saturday night when he finally made a move and asked me out. He took me to dinner the next Friday night and we spent the weekend together. I fell in love with him that weekend. I had no idea I could fall so hard so quickly. He was the part of me I had been missing, it was like being around him made me whole. He makes me laugh, makes me cry with his overwhelming kindness. I get butterflies everytime he kisses me and when I look into his eyes it's like nothing else in the world exists. He is the most selfless man I have ever met. He loves his friends, family and me with endless love. He lives every day like it is his last. He spoils me rotten and makes me want to be a better person. He is honest, caring, passionate and mature. We are perfect for eachother in every way imaginable and more. We connect and just get eachother emotionally, physically and spiritually. He gets my passion for my career as a Cancer nurse and I understand as much as anyone without actually having cancer what it is like to be a Cancer patient and survivor. We are eachother's best friend, confidant, care taker, lover and better half. He is the only one for me! When we first started dating he made me a CD titled "To the most amazing woman in the world". The CD was filled with songs that made him think of me. We had just started talking about getting engaged and married. Train's "Marry Me" was one of the songs on the CD and one of the songs he said he can't not listen to without thinking of me and our beautiful future together. Life is about making memories with those you love and I cannot think of a better memory to make with the love of my life than to see the band Train and listen to the song "Marry Me" with Blake holding me in his arms.
I knew Adam was the one not for all the things he did for me but for all the things I wanted to do for him. In my past relationships I had been so selfish and distant but Adam makes me want to love him every day and do all I can to put a smile on his face. He makes me want to step outside of my comfort zone daily to be a better person so that I can be as great as he is. He embraced my religion, was baptized, and has taught me to be a better Catholic. He constantly teaches me patience and love by being patient and loving with me. He makes me want to be an open book despite my hesitations and fear of vulnerability. He has taught me to love my flaws and to improve myself a little every day. You meet and date many nice people but only the one can make you reevaluate your life and change the things that are needed to make yourself a better person. He makes me look at myself in the mirror and want to improve myself for him and for our relationship and this is how I knew he was the one.
He has always been the one but God's timing is so different than ours...When we began dating eight months ago, I had a first time, unexpected seizure, thank heavens he was there and I was not home alone. It was in the ER that the doctor turned to him and asked his relationship to me and he looked at me and then my mom and without thinking twice said, I'm her fiancée...This coming from the man I'd had a crush on in high school 23 years earlier but I was so shy, I always ran the other way when I saw him coming my direction. I then joined yearbook and became Editor/Photographer, this allowed me to go to key sporting events and activities and take photos, of course half never made it to the yearbook. At the time, my best friend happened to know him well as they had grown up through grade school and Jr high together and she knew we had a great deal in common, if I could get past my shyness, so, she set us up on a blind date at the county fair. This should have been a dream come true but no, when they picked me up, I completely froze and withdrew into my shell, they say men have caves, back then, I think I tunneled a mine withdraw into. Needless to say, I couldn't speak to save my life and unbeknownst to me, he truly was interested. 23 years later we have reconnected thanks to Facebook and a school reunion and now as much more independent and confident adults, he and I reconnected and have been inseparable since. We have looked back on all the photos taken by me, of him, in high school and laugh at all the silliness. I became a Director of Corporate Marketing in Silicon Valley for High-Tech companies like Adobe, PeopleSoft and Oracle as opposed to a shy wallflower. God led our lives in two separate directions to mold and mature each of us and brought us back together and now we have so much to share with each other. This includes his beautiful grown children, his wonderful Ex and her now significant other and together we are creating a blended family that is truly unique and genuine in today's day and age... We are BLESSED!!! God's timing is always perfect...
There is just something about Kevin that makes me feel complete and at home when I am with him. He is my other half.
The exact moment I "knew" was one night when he looked me in the eyes and told me "I would do anything to make you smile"... simple as that... I knew at that moment that he was the one I could never live without.
We actually have our rings engraved with My e-ring: Anything My wedding band: To make His wedding band: You smile
My fiance is THE ONE for me! He truly completes me. We are complete opposites and somehow our relationship just works! We met about 3 years ago from a mutual friend and at the time we were not ready to settle into a relationship. However, the more time we spendt together the more we realized it needed to become a relationship. So about a month into hanging out he decided to ask me to be his girlfriend. We started dating and about 6 months into the relationship we both knew we wanted to get married. At the time we were both finishing our Bachelor degrees and lived 2 hours away from each other. When he completed his degree, he moved in with me and it has been amazing! He tells me every day how beautiful I am and how much I mean to him. He makes me feel special in every way! I am so excited to spend the rest of my life with him!
What makes my fiancé, James, “The One?” That’s quite a question. What doesn’t make him “The One?” Since the first day we met he has shown me that he’s an amazing and wonderful person. My life would not be anywhere close to being complete without him. He’s the guy who surprises me with flowers, or my favorite candy bar for no reason. He plans special “surprise” dates for us and won’t tell me where we’re going or what we’re doing until we get there. He looks me in the eye when he says “I love you” and I can literally feel the emotion behind those words. He knew I’d say “Yes” when he proposed, but still got nervous about it anyway. He takes me to the movies to see whatever ‘chick flick’ is playing because I’ve mentioned that I want to see it. He knows exactly how long to hold me or hug me when I’ve had a horrible day and just need to be wrapped in love. He knows just how many kisses it takes to ease my craziness over the silliest things. He gets so excited about planning our wedding together. He stayed up late a few nights ago to work on designing our invitations and was so excited to show me what he’d come up with the next morning. Not a single day has gone by since we started dating that he hasn’t called me beautiful at least 20 times. We have just as much fun when we’re all dressed up at a party or wedding or out on a ‘date night’ as we do when we’re in our pjs sitting on the couch watching a movie on Netflix with Chinese take-out or a pizza. We make each other laugh all the time and are still learning new things about each other. For Christmas one year, he bought me the Jane Seymour “Open Hearts” necklace with little diamond chips in it because his girl “needed a little bling.” And about two weeks before Christmas that year he made an “Open Hearts” out of tinfoil and hung it on our apartment door before I got home after a particularly frustrating day at work. It was such a sweet and loving gesture. I still have it, too! Only now, it hangs on one of the cabinet doors in my kitchen. He loves to surprise me with fun kitchen things too! He’s come home with a waffle iron, a tiny crock pot, a spice rack and a knife block for me over the course of our relationship. He never had a hidden agenda when bringing these things home, he just knew that I needed or wanted them and wanted to do nice things for me. He was so concerned about making the right choice when it came to my engagement ring that he brought his two best friends with him to the jewelry store. They helped him decide on the most gorgeous diamond! I couldn’t be happier! It’s been nearly 8 months since we got engaged and I STILL can’t get over how sparkly and beautiful my ring is. He picked the perfect ring for me and knowing how much concern and effort he put into choosing it, I wouldn’t ever want anything different. Why is my fiancé “The One?” He’s “The One” because he’s MY one. He’s my soulmate, my missing puzzle piece, my penguin. And I can’t wait to have a family and spend the rest of forever with him.
After over 12 years of constant proving to me, I know my fiance is the one for me. They say you never really know someone totally, this is not true. Although we didn't need this long length of time to deciding that we would be together for a lifetime, we have grown in love year by year. It's unbeliveable that our love actually flurished, most complain that their bored. It all started at Foxwoods Casino. I remember seeing him around earlier that day. I said to myself, that man is handsome and couldn't imagine him interested in me. Later on that day another employee told me that a guy name Mike was looking all over the casino for me! I was like "who is Mike". He tried to explain but I had no idea who he was talking about. 2days had gone by and there I was walking from lunch and I met eye contact with that handsome man I mentioned and without knowing, I knew for sure that this was Mike! And he was LOOKING FOR ME!!!!! We talked, started dating, fell in love and grew deeply in love through the years. Everytime were close, it feels like the 1st time. We never get bored. We are one. Never thought that Love could be this strong!

I can't begin to tell you how amazing my fiance Andrew is. Just thinking about it makes me cry. We met on March 13th 2010 and I can honestly say that after that night I knew he was going to be the one. We had such an amazing summer, he made me feel so special. One night at a piano bar I requested our song "hey soul sister" when the guy started singing we both just looked at each other and heald back tears. The week before he proposed to me we were sittingin our car just listening to our train cd and talking about how much we love each, when "Marry Me" came on we both just cried. Andrew nor myself ever thought that we would find love like this. Now don't get me wrong he's not this sappy weak guy and as emotional as I make him sound, he's such a strong man that I feel completely safe when I'm around him. He's such a protector. Lol when we are walking on a sidewalk he make's me walk on the opposite side of the road. He say's that if a car were to run off the road he would want them to hit him and not me. I could write entire book of how amazing he is. Andrew if you are reading this I will love you for infinity and I can't wait to Marry You!
Brandon is "the one" because he is the only person I can completely be myself around. He's seen me at my best and he's seen me at my worst and I never have to wonder if something I say or do is going to make him reject me. I can be completely goofy around him and he doesn't mind, in fact, he'll act completely goofy with me. We're perfect for each other because we both accept and love the other person for exactly who they are.
My fiance is the one because he proposed in the most wonderful way. Here is the story of how my creative, wonderful boyfriend proposed in the most perfect way.
I was told by Michael on Friday to go see the librarian at the school where I teach. I show up and Mr. Otte, the librarian, says "There is a clue for you in one of the books of the library." I say "Which one?" He says, "Do you have Great Expectations about your weekend?" So, I find the book, Great Expectations, and find a note that says "Call your sibling at 4:00 on Saturday."
I call my sister at 4:00. She says "What's going on?" I say, "I don't know." She says, "Well, I think something is going on in Clifton, but you should call Michael's niece, Sapphire, in Missouri to find out." Then she gives me her number.
I call Sapphire. Sapphire says "Michael's best friend from college with the wonderful wife lives in New Jersey. He's out of the country. But, his wife would like to speak to you." So, she gives me the number for Stacey Kimmerle.
I call Stacey (who sounds excited). She says, "Go to the place you and Michael first went with Nicholas (my son). I say "The Zoo?" She says, "yes." Then she says I need to be there by 4:45 and meet my sister at a gate.
I go to The Cincinnati Zoo and find my sister. She beckons to me to get in the car and hands me a stuffed leopard. I'm instructed to look at its paws. One paw says "play." The leopard tells me to go to the place Michael and I had our first honest conversation. I guess Sitwell's. My sister says we are going there together.
We get to Sitwell's coffee shop. I order a coffee. My sister suggests getting a snack because I won't be eating for a while and she knows how I get when unfed. About 45 minutes later, I see 3 of my ex students arrive with band equipment. What is going on? Somehow my boyfriend got my favorite Drama students (Caleb Widener and Seth Steele) who are going to college in Nashville to come up for the weekend and play for me personally in my favorite coffee shop. They play a whole set of covers of love songs from when I was in high school and college ("Here Comes Your Man," by the Pixies, "Lovesong" by The Cure etc.) I get all teary-eyed. They end with "our song", "Hey Soul Sister," by Train. Then Seth says, "McCaughan, your boyfriend is waiting for you next door where you first met. Go."
So, I walk down to Ambar India. Michael is inside sitting alone at the exact table where we first met. He says "I loved you from the first minute I saw you. Will you marry me?" Weeping, I say "yes."
Then, my friends Tracie, Sara and Raj from the meetup group who helped introduce Michael and I show up to see the ring and offer congrats. My sister and the band arrive. We all have a delicious Indian dinner on Michael's tab.
perfect. wonderful. magical. so me. That's why I love him.
I had been in relationships with guys who used me. They would tell me things I wanted to hear, but that they didn't really mean.My FI is the first guy who makes promises and actually means them. When I look in his eyes, I can see that he means it. He truly loves and respects me, and that means everything to me.
Now, I have to be honest, we're not engaged. We will be. It's simply not our time yet.
Eric and I have known each other for two years. We've had a dramatic couple of years, and he's a writer, so naturally he used it as a springboard for a musical. The musical is called Save Me, San Francisco, and it is the story of his life and how I saved him. It features all of the Train hits, as well as some of our personal favorites ("All American Girl", "Skyscraper", "Lincoln Avenue", etc.). I read the first act of it and yelled at him. The main character (he) was going back to town for his first ex-girlfriend, not me. He shouted right back at me, "How could you be so dense! You are the heroine of my musical! What more do you want from me?"
A couple months later we were walking through an old hotel in French Lick, Indiana. I had told him jokingly that I would be married there, that I had decided this years ago as a freshman in high school. He laughed as I gushed about the classic feeling, the beautiful back deck, and the amazing architecture. Suddenly, the speaker above went silent, save for a light guitar pattern. "Marry Me", the only song neglected from the musical ("It wouldn't work! That's not what the musical is about!" he always claimed.) filled the room. Dumbstruck by conincidence, we shyly smiled at each other and continued walking.
Train is the story of our life. We're young and brash and completely perfect for each other, but we sometimes forget that. He's written poems, stories and even a musical to tell me how much I mean to him, and I've written song after song after song about him. We're apart now because of school, but we'll be together again. We can't be apart; we complete each other too much.
So, in the end, he's not "the one", he's the other half of our one.
I get a little emotional when I write "our story". We had both just come out of pretty bad relationships when we met. He was in the military and I was never attracted to those kind of men. He tried for an entire year to get me to go out with him. Finally, one day...we were talking on the phone and I realized "this is truly a nice guy. He cares..actually cares about me and why aren't I at least giving him a chance?" I will say the first time we went out..I was sooo nervous. I didn't think I would be able to hide it either...which made it worse. But once we got to the restaurant he took me to and he started to ask me questions, get me talking...it was like we were old friends. I'm pretty sure he knew I was nervous and he tried hard to find a way to make me comfortable with him. I never thought I would ever trust a man again after my previous experience...and I have heard people talk about that "one person you can't live without?" I always thought those people were just making too much of things or possibly overly dramatic. Now, I get it. I honestly GET it. He really is the one person that I could not even IMAGINE life without. The total love he gives me and most important...the respect he shows me on a daily basis? I still sometimes have to remind myself "this really is your life Margo. You have this kind of love." I don't know what I ever did to deserve this man...but however it happened? I owe someone a huge "thanks". There are days when I think this man saved my life. Not in the way you normally think...but he saved me from being cynical...without that feeling of being completely "safe" with someone. Now I know what it feels like to be truly 'loved.'
OK, guys, so we’re not your typical gushing couple ready to start our new journey into marriage. Heck, we’re probably not even your typical fan! We’re a middle-aged couple, and yes, we’re both women! We have journeyed through the majority of ours lives without each other, on separate paths. We have both failed twice before at long term relationships. Yet we stumbled upon each other in 2009 and fell head over heels kicking and screaming the whole way! All those cliche’s of love at first sight and the world standing still hit home for me. Things I never had believed in or cared to folly with had suddenly struck me silly once I first laid eyes on her!
As fate would have it, I met her in November 2009, just after you released “Save Me, San Francisco.” The first single was gaining popularity and “Hey, Soul Sister” just seemed to fit her so perfectly. I definitely had her lipstick stain on my left side brain! ;-) It became our little thing whenever the song came on and we would look at each other and say “hey, that’s our song!” In fact, we recently got a puppy together and even though his name is Hazmat, we have taken to calling him “Mister, Mister” on occasion as a shout out to our first song.
“Save me San Francisco” continued to be the soundtrack to our life as you released “If its love.” The song fit our journey so perfectly as we fell deeper in love and felt that passion of being addicted to each others love! The knowledge that we make each other laugh until we cry every single day makes all the other nonsense of life melt away! Your song exemplifies that euphoric feeling and wove itself into the fabric of our relationship. Train had not only given us “our song,” now they were becoming “our band.”
18 months later and here we are, certain that it’s forever and that forever could never be long enough! I want to marry her every day! “Marry Me” naturally fit right into our continued path together. She got the nerve and proposed to me on one knee in front of our friends, in a cafe no less!
Although there is no legal road for us, we know that there could never be two hearts more married together than ours could. The second half of our lives is the most exciting and we will both be wearing out the words “I love you.” Pick us or not, we are forever connected to your music and grateful it is a part of our journey.
I know my fiance is "the one" because he is so caring that before he ased me to marry him he asked my now 8 year old daughter.
When we met he was too afraid to speak to me due to the fact that he thought "i was out of his league" I changed that idea in his head quickly when I began to chat with him. We had a great conversation that day and 3 days later he contacted me and we had a get together with my neighbors. And since that point we have been inseperable.
He treats my daughter as if he is her birth father, they play, joke, watch movies and just hang out. There are disagreements but that is normal in my eyes. The day after St. Patricks Day 2011, he got down on one knee, and asked my daughter if he could marry her mommy. Excited she said yes.
For our engagement celebration we went out with a couple of friends, and our first song I requested to dance to *and we sang word for word to each other* as an engaged couple was "Marry Me" by Train. The song reminds me soo much of when we first met that, we have decided that is going to be the song I walk down the isle to. The tradition wedding march is nice but "Marry Me" song is much more personal for us. And may ease the pain that my father is not with us to walk me down the isle. We are Getting married May 25th 2012, and the planning is coming along good.
I wish the best of luck to all of the blessed couples joining their lives with their "one". And good luck to everyone in the contest.
MIke and I met in college. I was a music education major. I met him in Pep Band (how else does a music major meet a guy?) I played percussion and he played saxophone. I took one look and him and was so overwhelmed I had to look away. I didn't know what I was feeling at the time. After that day, we spent every free minute we had together. A few months, weeks maybe, later, I realized what the feeling was that had made me so overwhelmed. It was love. From the very first minute. My life would never be the same. After graduation we moved in together. He's just about to graduate from Law School and I am working as a music teacher in an urban school and a musical theatre teacher in an afterschool program.
He's "The One" for a thousand and one reasons. I am overly emotional, he's very practical. I get stressed very easly, he's very calm and laid-back. He's kinda sloppy and I'm always picking up behind him He balances me. We balance eachother.
When I come home from work feeling exhausted, he makes me laugh and re-energizes me. When I work late after school, he cooks dinner for me (and damn he's good at it!) When I unintentionally release a TON of pent-up frustration that I carry with me during the work day on my poor innocent unsuspecting Mikey, He is patient with me. The kid's a saint. We have SO much fun together. I LOVE his family, and my family loves him. He has only one flaw. He's a red sox fan. Yuck.
I can imagine life without him, but frankly it sucks. W've been together almost 5 years now and though we aren't engaged yet, we just got tickets to see Train again this sumer, and while Pat sings "Marry Me" sounds like a perfect opportunity! (Hint hint, cough cough)
The knowledge that someone is “the one” comes not from grand gestures, complex histories or over-the-top romance .It’s when you meet, knowing instantly that your soul will be safe with this person. I experienced that and thank the angels above every day for this gift.
My fiance is the ONE because when my ovarian cancer recurred -- three weeks after we began dating -- his response was: "I'm not going anywhere". And he never has.
I love him and want to thank him for everything he gives me. This concert would be one helluva way to do so!
My 2007 was up and down. I was engaged to be married, then in an instant, it was all taken away from me. I moved home to Dallas from Portland with my heart in pieces. I tried as much as I could to move forward with life, but I got into a rut. I began going out every night and drinking away my sorrows. I slowly got to the point that friends and family worried. Then one day, I got a message on a social networking site that made everything seem ok. This rather cute, but kind of nerdy guy, just simply told me I was beautiful and wanted to atleast have a chance of meeting me face-to-face. It was sweet and moderately silly in nature, but I thought, what the hell. We tried to meet at an event - no luck. The beach volleyball club was ground zero to an extremely heavy thunderstorm. Attempt two? A photography class in downtown Dallas passed by when I came down with something just hours before. Eventually though, we decided to skip the crazy date ideas and just have an at home dinner at his home. I got up that morning, went shopping for groceries and could already feel the nerves churning in my stomach. As I got to his apartment, he called to let me know he was just getting in. Immediately, I ducked in my car hoping he wouldn't see me - I wasn't ready yet. Over the phone, I could hear him laugh - I was busted! He slowly walked over to my car trying to peek in while laughing at my insecurity. He kept commenting on how I was beautiful in every photo he had seen and was sure in person would be better. Apparently he was right as he got the biggest smile on his face when he opened my car door. The first words out of his mouth? "Yeah, I am going to marry you one day." At the time I thought it was a bit silly/creepy. We had a lovely dinner and drinks, stayed up all night talking, made breakfast together and parted ways.
Exactly one month later, in the same fashion as our first meeting (right at my car door), Albert made it more official and we became a couple. From that day on, he has pushed me to not only be a better woman for our relationship, but a better person over all. He supports every decision I make, while still being honest enough to tell me when he sees an opposing view of the situation. His quiet/shy/nerdy demeanor balances out my larger than life, loud, almost obnoxious personality. We are nearing our 4 year mark of being together, and I couldn't imagine a day without him in it. A year ago we had some issues that would have torn most couples apart in minutes. We cried, screamed, blamed, and hated each other for a few days - then quickly came to realize that even in the face of this overwhelming issue, all we wanted was to fall asleep in each others arms, wake up to each others morning breath no matter how bad it was, and spend every day of forever together. He is, to be a bit cheesy and cliche, my rock. He said it on the first day that I would be the one he married. While it took me a little longer to admit it, I think I knew from that day he would be my husband.
He taught me how to move forward from my past, open my heart, and feel love again. Something I never thought would be possible became easy as pie with this sweet, geeky programmer from Dallas. He makes every day seem more special than the last and remembers every tiny detail. He proposed the exact way he met me, made it official, etc. We were right beside my car door, at night, alone in a parking lot. While I can't get married next to my car, I can incorporate the tiny Christmas lights, the song, and the emotions into my ceremony on the same date (28th) that each of our big moments happened. I want to give back to him all the same little details that he gave to me.
Between him mending my broken heart, balancing me as a person, and being incredibly thoughtful and heartfelt in everything he does, I know he is the one to spend my life with.
My fiance is the one! Seriously! He has the biggest heart of anyone I know. He is in the Air Force, on the volunteer fire department, and he coaches two local recreational baseball teams. He gives everything he has, and he does not ask for anything in return. We went to see Train in Durham, NC, last year soon after we got engaged, and we both teared up when Train sang "When I Look To The Sky" acapella in honor of the troops. He was about to leave for ten months for Air Force training, and it was so emotional and beautiful.
My fiance does everything he can to make me smile. He does not let me stay in a bad mood! He honestly makes me a better person. We have been through a lot together, and I know that I am always alright as long as I have him there. We have been dating since we met, which was a little over 4 years ago. We went to the same high school, but he is 5 years older, so we never crossed paths. However, I was in the newspaper for winning a county pageant when I was 11 years old, and he was talking to his mom about meeting a good girl. He pointed at the newspaper (where my picture was), and said, "I want to marry a girl like that!" It was so ironic, and his mom and he remember the day it happened.
He is so spontaneous. For example, he proposed when I had just woke up due to the fact that I was so sick that I could not breathe. He brought me a towel and washcloth, and to my surprise there was a box with 2 rings inside of them. That's right--2 rings! He let me choose from the two because he wanted to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I smile every time I think about the way he loves me...with his whole heart.
We are complete love birds, which is what the theme for our wedding is. We are getting married next week, and the trip to see Train would be amazing. First because we love the band, and we are going on a very short honeymoon because I am taking summer school in order to graduate in December, which is a semester early, from college.
I know we will last forever because we are grounded in our relationship with God. We know that anything that happens can only knock us down to that foundation we established at the beginning of our relationship. We have this thing we do... We say to each other, "I love you this much," and we extend our arms out to each side. "This much" stands for the amount of love that Jesus gave us when he died on the cross for our sins. He gave his life for us on the cross (with his arms extended wide). We do this to show that we love each other so much that we would give our lives for each other. I believe that my fiance, Mitchell, is the one. I know he is the one for me.
Re: Want to win a trip for two to meet Train & see them perform live? (Air and hotel included!)
Tim is the most selfless person I have ever met as he is currently deployed overseas risking his life (the biggest sacrifice) to help keep all of us here safe. No matter how many miles are between us, I know that his heart and mine will always be together. I couldn't be more proud of the person that he is and I truly am blessed to be a part of his life. No matter where life takes us, I know the trip will be worthwihile because we'll be side-by-side experiencing every moment together. Being with Tim has made me a better person and I will be forever grateful for The Home Depot. Not only is Tim my rock, he is my one and only!
I am not even sure where our story truly begins...
My Aunt and his mom have been best friends since their Freshmen year in high school and have maintained a very good friendship. They would visit eachother and our families would get together at least every other year. Since Blake and I were born they have both been plotting how to make us date so they could somehow be related. In high school we started emailing back and forth because Blake lived in Iceland at the time. I had a crush on him in high school and college. We continued talking in College as well. I was in nursing school and studying to be in the specialty of Cancer at the time he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. We continued to talk on and off throughout his treatments and finally his remission. New Years this year we saw eachother after about 2 years of not seeing eachother and even though I was in a relationship at the time the feelings I had for him returned. A few weeks later I broke up with that guy and Blake came back in town. He was a complete gentleman and just maintained a friendship until later that Saturday night when he finally made a move and asked me out. He took me to dinner the next Friday night and we spent the weekend together. I fell in love with him that weekend. I had no idea I could fall so hard so quickly. He was the part of me I had been missing, it was like being around him made me whole. He makes me laugh, makes me cry with his overwhelming kindness. I get butterflies everytime he kisses me and when I look into his eyes it's like nothing else in the world exists. He is the most selfless man I have ever met. He loves his friends, family and me with endless love. He lives every day like it is his last. He spoils me rotten and makes me want to be a better person. He is honest, caring, passionate and mature. We are perfect for eachother in every way imaginable and more. We connect and just get eachother emotionally, physically and spiritually. He gets my passion for my career as a Cancer nurse and I understand as much as anyone without actually having cancer what it is like to be a Cancer patient and survivor. We are eachother's best friend, confidant, care taker, lover and better half. He is the only one for me! When we first started dating he made me a CD titled "To the most amazing woman in the world". The CD was filled with songs that made him think of me. We had just started talking about getting engaged and married. Train's "Marry Me" was one of the songs on the CD and one of the songs he said he can't not listen to without thinking of me and our beautiful future together. Life is about making memories with those you love and I cannot think of a better memory to make with the love of my life than to see the band Train and listen to the song "Marry Me" with Blake holding me in his arms.
I knew Adam was the one not for all the things he did for me but for all the things I wanted to do for him. In my past relationships I had been so selfish and distant but Adam makes me want to love him every day and do all I can to put a smile on his face. He makes me want to step outside of my comfort zone daily to be a better person so that I can be as great as he is. He embraced my religion, was baptized, and has taught me to be a better Catholic. He constantly teaches me patience and love by being patient and loving with me. He makes me want to be an open book despite my hesitations and fear of vulnerability. He has taught me to love my flaws and to improve myself a little every day. You meet and date many nice people but only the one can make you reevaluate your life and change the things that are needed to make yourself a better person. He makes me look at myself in the mirror and want to improve myself for him and for our relationship and this is how I knew he was the one.
The exact moment I "knew" was one night when he looked me in the eyes and told me "I would do anything to make you smile"... simple as that... I knew at that moment that he was the one I could never live without.
We actually have our rings engraved with
My e-ring: Anything
My wedding band: To make
His wedding band: You smile

What makes my fiancé, James, “The One?” That’s quite a question. What doesn’t make him “The One?” Since the first day we met he has shown me that he’s an amazing and wonderful person. My life would not be anywhere close to being complete without him. He’s the guy who surprises me with flowers, or my favorite candy bar for no reason. He plans special “surprise” dates for us and won’t tell me where we’re going or what we’re doing until we get there. He looks me in the eye when he says “I love you” and I can literally feel the emotion behind those words. He knew I’d say “Yes” when he proposed, but still got nervous about it anyway. He takes me to the movies to see whatever ‘chick flick’ is playing because I’ve mentioned that I want to see it. He knows exactly how long to hold me or hug me when I’ve had a horrible day and just need to be wrapped in love. He knows just how many kisses it takes to ease my craziness over the silliest things. He gets so excited about planning our wedding together. He stayed up late a few nights ago to work on designing our invitations and was so excited to show me what he’d come up with the next morning. Not a single day has gone by since we started dating that he hasn’t called me beautiful at least 20 times. We have just as much fun when we’re all dressed up at a party or wedding or out on a ‘date night’ as we do when we’re in our pjs sitting on the couch watching a movie on Netflix with Chinese take-out or a pizza. We make each other laugh all the time and are still learning new things about each other. For Christmas one year, he bought me the Jane Seymour “Open Hearts” necklace with little diamond chips in it because his girl “needed a little bling.” And about two weeks before Christmas that year he made an “Open Hearts” out of tinfoil and hung it on our apartment door before I got home after a particularly frustrating day at work. It was such a sweet and loving gesture. I still have it, too! Only now, it hangs on one of the cabinet doors in my kitchen. He loves to surprise me with fun kitchen things too! He’s come home with a waffle iron, a tiny crock pot, a spice rack and a knife block for me over the course of our relationship. He never had a hidden agenda when bringing these things home, he just knew that I needed or wanted them and wanted to do nice things for me. He was so concerned about making the right choice when it came to my engagement ring that he brought his two best friends with him to the jewelry store. They helped him decide on the most gorgeous diamond! I couldn’t be happier! It’s been nearly 8 months since we got engaged and I STILL can’t get over how sparkly and beautiful my ring is. He picked the perfect ring for me and knowing how much concern and effort he put into choosing it, I wouldn’t ever want anything different.
Why is my fiancé “The One?” He’s “The One” because he’s MY one. He’s my soulmate, my missing puzzle piece, my penguin. And I can’t wait to have a family and spend the rest of forever with him.
After over 12 years of constant proving to me, I know my fiance is the one for me. They say you never really know someone totally, this is not true. Although we didn't need this long length of time to deciding that we would be together for a lifetime, we have grown in love year by year. It's unbeliveable that our love actually flurished, most complain that their bored. It all started at Foxwoods Casino. I remember seeing him around earlier that day. I said to myself, that man is handsome and couldn't imagine him interested in me. Later on that day another employee told me that a guy name Mike was looking all over the casino for me! I was like "who is Mike". He tried to explain but I had no idea who he was talking about. 2days had gone by and there I was walking from lunch and I met eye contact with that handsome man I mentioned and without knowing, I knew for sure that this was Mike! And he was LOOKING FOR ME!!!!! We talked, started dating, fell in love and grew deeply in love through the years. Everytime were close, it feels like the 1st time. We never get bored. We are one. Never thought that Love could be this strong!

I was told by Michael on Friday to go see the librarian at the school where I teach. I show up and Mr. Otte, the librarian, says "There is a clue for you in one of the books of the library." I say "Which one?" He says, "Do you have Great Expectations about your weekend?" So, I find the book, Great Expectations, and find a note that says "Call your sibling at 4:00 on Saturday."
I call my sister at 4:00. She says "What's going on?" I say, "I don't know." She says, "Well, I think something is going on in Clifton, but you should call Michael's niece, Sapphire, in Missouri to find out." Then she gives me her number.
I call Sapphire. Sapphire says "Michael's best friend from college with the wonderful wife lives in New Jersey. He's out of the country. But, his wife would like to speak to you." So, she gives me the number for Stacey Kimmerle.
I call Stacey (who sounds excited). She says, "Go to the place you and Michael first went with Nicholas (my son). I say "The Zoo?" She says, "yes." Then she says I need to be there by 4:45 and meet my sister at a gate.
I go to The Cincinnati Zoo and find my sister. She beckons to me to get in the car and hands me a stuffed leopard. I'm instructed to look at its paws. One paw says "play." The leopard tells me to go to the place Michael and I had our first honest conversation. I guess Sitwell's. My sister says we are going there together.
We get to Sitwell's coffee shop. I order a coffee. My sister suggests getting a snack because I won't be eating for a while and she knows how I get when unfed. About 45 minutes later, I see 3 of my ex students arrive with band equipment. What is going on? Somehow my boyfriend got my favorite Drama students (Caleb Widener and Seth Steele) who are going to college in Nashville to come up for the weekend and play for me personally in my favorite coffee shop. They play a whole set of covers of love songs from when I was in high school and college ("Here Comes Your Man," by the Pixies, "Lovesong" by The Cure etc.) I get all teary-eyed. They end with "our song", "Hey Soul Sister," by Train. Then Seth says, "McCaughan, your boyfriend is waiting for you next door where you first met. Go."
So, I walk down to Ambar India. Michael is inside sitting alone at the exact table where we first met. He says "I loved you from the first minute I saw you. Will you marry me?" Weeping, I say "yes."
Then, my friends Tracie, Sara and Raj from the meetup group who helped introduce Michael and I show up to see the ring and offer congrats. My sister and the band arrive. We all have a delicious Indian dinner on Michael's tab.
perfect. wonderful. magical. so me. That's why I love him.
We will be.
It's simply not our time yet.
Eric and I have known each other for two years. We've had a dramatic couple of years, and he's a writer, so naturally he used it as a springboard for a musical.
The musical is called Save Me, San Francisco, and it is the story of his life and how I saved him. It features all of the Train hits, as well as some of our personal favorites ("All American Girl", "Skyscraper", "Lincoln Avenue", etc.). I read the first act of it and yelled at him. The main character (he) was going back to town for his first ex-girlfriend, not me. He shouted right back at me, "How could you be so dense! You are the heroine of my musical! What more do you want from me?"
A couple months later we were walking through an old hotel in French Lick, Indiana. I had told him jokingly that I would be married there, that I had decided this years ago as a freshman in high school. He laughed as I gushed about the classic feeling, the beautiful back deck, and the amazing architecture.
Suddenly, the speaker above went silent, save for a light guitar pattern. "Marry Me", the only song neglected from the musical ("It wouldn't work! That's not what the musical is about!" he always claimed.) filled the room. Dumbstruck by conincidence, we shyly smiled at each other and continued walking.
Train is the story of our life. We're young and brash and completely perfect for each other, but we sometimes forget that. He's written poems, stories and even a musical to tell me how much I mean to him, and I've written song after song after song about him. We're apart now because of school, but we'll be together again. We can't be apart; we complete each other too much.
So, in the end, he's not "the one", he's the other half of our one.

OK, guys, so we’re not your typical gushing couple ready to start our new journey into marriage. Heck, we’re probably not even your typical fan! We’re a middle-aged couple, and yes, we’re both women! We have journeyed through the majority of ours lives without each other, on separate paths. We have both failed twice before at long term relationships. Yet we stumbled upon each other in 2009 and fell head over heels kicking and screaming the whole way! All those cliche’s of love at first sight and the world standing still hit home for me. Things I never had believed in or cared to folly with had suddenly struck me silly once I first laid eyes on her!
As fate would have it, I met her in November 2009, just after you released “Save Me, San Francisco.” The first single was gaining popularity and “Hey, Soul Sister” just seemed to fit her so perfectly. I definitely had her lipstick stain on my left side brain! ;-) It became our little thing whenever the song came on and we would look at each other and say “hey, that’s our song!” In fact, we recently got a puppy together and even though his name is Hazmat, we have taken to calling him “Mister, Mister” on occasion as a shout out to our first song.
“Save me San Francisco” continued to be the soundtrack to our life as you released “If its love.” The song fit our journey so perfectly as we fell deeper in love and felt that passion of being addicted to each others love! The knowledge that we make each other laugh until we cry every single day makes all the other nonsense of life melt away! Your song exemplifies that euphoric feeling and wove itself into the fabric of our relationship. Train had not only given us “our song,” now they were becoming “our band.”
18 months later and here we are, certain that it’s forever and that forever could never be long enough! I want to marry her every day! “Marry Me” naturally fit right into our continued path together. She got the nerve and proposed to me on one knee in front of our friends, in a cafe no less!
Although there is no legal road for us, we know that there could never be two hearts more married together than ours could. The second half of our lives is the most exciting and we will both be wearing out the words “I love you.” Pick us or not, we are forever connected to your music and grateful it is a part of our journey.
When we met he was too afraid to speak to me due to the fact that he thought "i was out of his league" I changed that idea in his head quickly when I began to chat with him. We had a great conversation that day and 3 days later he contacted me and we had a get together with my neighbors. And since that point we have been inseperable.
He treats my daughter as if he is her birth father, they play, joke, watch movies and just hang out. There are disagreements but that is normal in my eyes.
The day after St. Patricks Day 2011, he got down on one knee, and asked my daughter if he could marry her mommy. Excited she said yes.
For our engagement celebration we went out with a couple of friends, and our first song I requested to dance to *and we sang word for word to each other* as an engaged couple was "Marry Me" by Train. The song reminds me soo much of when we first met that, we have decided that is going to be the song I walk down the isle to. The tradition wedding march is nice but "Marry Me" song is much more personal for us. And may ease the pain that my father is not with us to walk me down the isle. We are Getting married May 25th 2012, and the planning is coming along good.
I wish the best of luck to all of the blessed couples joining their lives with their "one". And good luck to everyone in the contest.

However, I was in the newspaper for winning a county pageant when I was 11 years old, and he was talking to his mom about meeting a good girl. He pointed at the newspaper (where my picture was), and said, "I want to marry a girl like that!" It was so ironic, and his mom and he remember the day it happened.
He is so spontaneous. For example, he proposed when I had just woke up due to the fact that I was so sick that I could not breathe. He brought me a towel and washcloth, and to my surprise there was a box with 2 rings inside of them. That's right--2 rings! He let me choose from the two because he wanted to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I smile every time I think about the way he loves me...with his whole heart.
We are complete love birds, which is what the theme for our wedding is. We are getting married next week, and the trip to see Train would be amazing. First because we love the band, and we are going on a very short honeymoon because I am taking summer school in order to graduate in December, which is a semester early, from college.
I know we will last forever because we are grounded in our relationship with God. We know that anything that happens can only knock us down to that foundation we established at the beginning of our relationship. We have this thing we do... We say to each other, "I love you this much," and we extend our arms out to each side. "This much" stands for the amount of love that Jesus gave us when he died on the cross for our sins. He gave his life for us on the cross (with his arms extended wide). We do this to show that we love each other so much that we would give our lives for each other. I believe that my fiance, Mitchell, is the one. I know he is the one for me.
