Wedding Forum - So what makes him/her 'the one'...?...

The feeling i get Every time i look at him, the butterflies i still get after 5 years of being with him.

We've only ever had one serious argument and we've had a fair few bad time's but we have pulled through and always bounced back stronger than ever!

I'm always moaning about being overweight but he always tells me he loves me for who i am and that i'm beautiful to him no matter what size i am!.

I've had Postnatal depression for 3 years and hit rock bottom not so long ago, He was there to pick me up and help me through it.

And He's absolutely gorgeous! :D

There's millions of other reasons too but i'd be typing forever!

I just love him Millions! And i love it that he calls me his baby-Lou Butterfly :D hehe

It's funny. We've been asked this by our celebrant for our wedding but both find it quite hard to define.

We met under slightly unusual circumstances in a club five years ago and while I know he liked the look of me but nothing happened... as I was with someone else and actually really didn't fancy him at that point.

Two years ago we were both back at the same club and I'd just had the worst date that I've ever had. I was sitting on his lap bemoaning the appalling nature of the date and he was staring down my cleavage. Who said that the starting point had to be romantic? Basically we were both fed up with our love lives and both invited to the same party the following weekend so agreed to go together.

Honestly, I expected it to be a one night stand!

On the Saturday night of the party, he came and picked me up from home (a 40 mile detour for him) and took me out for dinner before the party. He was sweet and trying really hard to be a gentleman. I shan't pretend that we behaved properly (I gave him a lapdance while very drunk and certainly didn't stick to the rule of "no sex on the first date), but he was so genuinely sweet that I didn't want the date to end. He held my hand in between gear changes on the way home and then drove me to synagogue the next day. I still wasn't sure if it was going to go anywhere but knew that I definitely wanted to see him again.

We were constantly on MSN to one another and rapidly moved onto endless phone conversations. We'd go on dates at least twice a week to begin with but within weeks we were seeing each other more days than not and within a couple of months we were all but living together.

Between our first and second dates we had a conversation about our situations. We were both living at home trying to save up for a deposit on a house. I think the fact that we were both focused on setting up a home, we were both very close to our families and we had both had a really rough time in our previous relationships brought us closer.

We lived fifty miles apart and he was working on the other side of the country. So he was driving hundreds and hundreds of miles every week. So I always felt like he was making an effort to see me (which other men never had) but I was miserable when I said goodbye to him when he went away.

We first lived together alone for just a week while my mum was on holiday and we were happier living together than we ever had been living apart. We went away on holiday together after four months (yet again a make or break point) and it was possibly one of the best holidays I've ever had. There were amusing moments, but nothing upsetting.

When we got back, we started seriously looking for a flat together and were looking at a "try before you buy" type of purchase offer based on a gorgeous show flat, but when we saw the actual flats we were horrified and instantly made a big change of direction. We drove across the water and started looking at two and three bedroom houses in a cheaper area outside the city. I think it was around that time that we both acknowledged we were in it for the long haul. Ten months after our first date, we picked up the keys to our own three bedroom house.

G says he didn't firmly decide that he wanted to marry me until we'd been living together for a while in our own home (although I don't know if I believe him on that). I think I decided one day when we were at my mums and he rested his head on my stomach and stroked it, as one would when there was a child in the belly. All I could think was "You'd make a fantastic father".

We're a very settled couple. We seem to be happiest in our own company. We sit alone for many hours just happy in each other's company. We're both obsessed with computers and cars and cakes. So yes, we're happy and relaxed. It's a relationship without heavy stress or heartache and I think that's what we both wanted.

It was easy for me. The day I had my first date with Clive was magical. The moment we saw each other in the flesh so to speak at the station I knew he was the one, I felt as I had known him my whole life and I couldn't imagine life without him. 6 years on I still feel the same even if the initial lust has cooled to something more comfortable.

Me and Karl fell in love 2 1/2 years ago! When we first got together he would bring me cakes or chocolate into my work! When I moved in with him I felt at home and full of love! Still we like to sit and cuddle! He makes me laugh and treats me like a princess! If i want anything he gets it for me even if it means he goes without! He even sold his DSI so i could get me the halo reach xbox (eventhough i already had an xbox) I still think he is gorgeous and love to look into his eyes! We have great communication as a couple! When we are not together we miss each other and when we get home we have to have a huge cuddle! He makes me feel safe and loved :-) He is my world!

He's my world and im his, don't really need to say anything else.

Me and my H2B have been together for 7 years next month, and the time has just flowen by. I'm as happy now as I was when we first got together.
We met in a night club and lived over an hour away so I only got to see him at weekends, which I hated. I never wanted him to leave me.
After 3 months we decided to move in together as we could not stand the time apart. Some people may think it's rushed!!! So by 6 months we had got a place and were very happy
We now have 2 wonderfull children who are just fantastic and bring even more happiness in to our lives.
I wouldn't say that he's perfect, or that we dont arguee, but I could never imagine my life without him. Sometimes he can be selfish then at other's he can be overkind too.
If ever I'm ill he always really looks after me which I just love as it shows me how much he care's.
We too also have the same sence of humor, and also have this thing of us trying to wind the other one up. He always win though.
I also know I could never be without him, as he's just been away for 4 weeks doing training for a new job. It was horrible not to have him here, and even worse at time's when I have really needed him too.

Chris is my first love and we've been together since upper sixth. I knew he was something special when I initially had feelings for him because it was a lot stronger than previous guys I had liked, so I took that gamble and asked him to be more than friends. Four months into the relationship, I realised I couldn't imagine spending my life with anyone else. I do kinda miss the initial angst and excitement, but whenever I think about having a future with Chris and a house and kids... I know that's what I really want.

He makes me feel relaxed and happy, just by hearing his voice or curling up with him. And most importantly, he's the best friend I've ever had.

Plus, he's comically clumsy. Seriously, he's like a cartoon.

when i first met him nearly 4 years ago he asked my mum if he could take me out and i was really hoping he would but he never did! then we were in the same pub playing poker and he was on the phone to his then girlfriend and i was so jealous...i have never told him that! i had a couple of other boyfriends during this time and then one night we were in the same pub drunk and i went home with him and he said to be "you and me should have made love a long time ago" and i knew then that i wanted to be with him! i did play hard to get though he took me out for dinner and i told him that i didnt want a relationship as i hadnt been single that long and he seemed so upset!

I still look at him and get butterflies and every now and again when he is getting ready i look at him and think oh my god how are you my future husband and i know i am so lucky to have him!

I just can not imagine not being with him and am so lucky!!

all i can say is that we've been together 6 years, i still think Adam is gorgeous and love being in his company. We moved in together a year ago and are happier now that we've ever been. I miss him when we're at work and look forward to him coming home on an evening. He's the only partner I've ever had - I was 17 when we met and haven't looked back since :o) I can't imagine my life without him now, can't wait to be Mrs Parry and especially can't wait to start a family xx

I would have to say honestly that Ross is the 2nd love of my life - however he's the BIGGEST!! I love that I can be myself with him - warts an all!! He deals with me when I'm having bad days and he's always there and supportive. I love him more than I can possibly say and I wouldn't ever want to be without him. He's gorgeous both inside and out and I'm so happy that I'm going to get to spend the rest of my life with him!
He's the guy I want to have my family with and we both can't wait for that to happen :-)
