What was your reason for saying "yes"

Vivian, on September 27, 2019 at 7:18 PM Posted in Planning 0 27
I said " YES" to my FH because after all the ups and downs this year 2019 was one of the HARDEST for us together and also battles we faced as individuals and looking at it all from where we started and where we are now.... how could I NOT be his wife? Prior to this year he had asked me TWICE and I told him we weren't ready at that time but after going through ALL of the trials and tribulations of 2019 I saw him in a different LIGHT. I saw and felt comfort within him I had never felt before this year and the comfort and energy I got I wanted it FOREVER

    I knew before our first date, even that he was the one for me. I just knew. We shared same morals and values and communication style and hes just such an amazing man that I knew I wanted to spend my days with him.

    I met my fiance right after getting out of a horrible 4 year relationship. I wasn't looking for him but boy was he looking for me! He knew from the moment he met me I would be his wife. It took me only 2 months of dating before I finally realized that this was the man i was supposed to be with all along. He bought my ring at a month shy of our one year anniversary. On our first romantic trip to Orlando he asked me something about marrying me and i told him while being super drunk "if you propose in front of the castle(Magic kingdom castle) I'm all yours." Well he definitely listened because he proposed during Mickeys Christmas party last December 9 and i said yes! We will be getting married this December 14,2019!

    I love your story! When its time, its time! Congrats!

    I already knew by our first date It's funny how they say you just know lol. I remember on our first date asking God to please let him be my husband. We just have so much in common and we just clicked. I feel like God had him just for me. We meet at church and that's where he proposed to me. It was so romantic cause he said he knew I was his wife. Just a beautiful story to tell our kids.

    We met online and when we met in person for our first date, it was like we'd known each other for years! He was everything I had been looking for. Ambitious, kind, respectful, funny, and we wanted the same things in life, plus he's handsome and 6'-6"!
    But I knew from the first date he was why nothing worked out with my exes. He was going to be something special in my life and I didnt want to go through life without a man as good as him by my side. I just wish we had met sooner.

    For me somewhat similar. We were together off and off for 5 years but I always loved him through all the hard stuff. For me it is the commitment and we’ve grown a lot so it is nice to look back on. I am lucky that for the most part he is so easy to be and live with. Accepting their married question in my opinion is a lifetime commitment and not suppose to be based off of feelings because if you base it off of that be prepared that you’ll get a divorce based off of feelings when things are bad. Which is about 90% of the path for divorces these days. We learned about this during our preachers pre-marital counseling. Before you marry make sure it is a commitment through it all ups and Downs knowingly. To me when you explained you saying ‘yes’ it was more of yes because I’m happy right now.

    Going through hard times definitely preps you for life as a couple. Congrats!

    There was a point where marriage just felt right for me (he had been a great support for me while I was out of a job for over a year). For my hubby, it hit him a few months earlier when he was scared he had cancer and I told him of course I’d stay with him. We both felt supported no matter what might happen.

    I have a man who is simply divine. He is honest with me and supports me even when I getting on his last nerve. He knows how to make me smile and hates to see me cry. He is always thinking of me and us in all that he does. We have been through medical hell, to be honest over the past few years and has been such a trooper. The strength and courage he showed and continues to show reminds me every day what an amazing man he is. Very important to me is that he shares my love for the Lord. We are both Christians and we have great faith-based discussions. I fell in love with him years ago and I continue to do so each and every day. Seeing him walk through the door still gives me butterflies. In addition to his heart and beautiful spirit, the man is a HUNK!!

    Saying "yes" to him was a no brainer. He is my divine relationship, a tremendous blessing.

    My FH is my rock. He has been my biggest cheerleader and supporter. My ex told me it was stupid to go back to school... but my FH encouraged me to follow my dream. When I wanted to be a stay at home mom (until our son starts school), he sat down with me to discuss how to make it happen. ❤ We have had ups.and downs but I cant imagine spending my life with anyone else.

    It took me a little while 😅 I actually locked all of my apartment doors and windows after he left because he basically refused to leave. Now I know it’s because he was just having a really good time and didn’t want it to end. About a month later we had a long talk and laid allll of our dirty laundry out there, what we saw for ourselves in the future, etc and that’s when I knew ❤️ In 1 year and 5 days I’ll be his wife!

    It was time... We been together for 8yrs & I've watched him grow from from his highest moments to his lowest moments.. We both lost our grandma's on our mothers side a week apart & mourned together. He has watched me grow from a girl to a woman, a friend,lover,& lover. He is my provider & I am his we love each other so much its amazon.. Being away from each other is the hardest thing to do at times if we go away on a trip or something. We've broken up twice & came back, argument after argument, but I love his flaws & all & his smile & he loves my eyes & smile. Hes all mines & Im ready2say I do...

    I said yes because I don't want to live a life apart from him. I have never felt more completely "myself" than I have since I met him. He is so patient and annoying and hilarious and tall and wonderful. So much more than I ever could've asked for. That's why I said yes! April 11, 2020 here we come!

    I love it! My story is very similar. We met at church, also. We both knew we would get married early on, but didn't want to rush into it. On New Year's Eve, we talked about what 2019 would bring and he told me that he wanted to propose before the end of the year. He asked me to marry him June 9!

    Anan it's not a feeling of "happy right now" for me its deeper much deeper ..... it's more along the lines of EVERYTHING that could go WRONG did go WRONG n he was right there going through different situations in life n watching how he reacted towards it NOW versus then is what changed my mind..... growth changed my mind.... the devotion to me changed my mind... no matter what happened or what fell apart he was right there that's what changed my mind .....feelings change just like the seasons BUT having a person who is willing to work thru what they have going on within them right along with what you have going on within you and make a choice to come together and be there for battles won and lost is what count to me..... I lost A LOT in 2019 and he stood besides me right there.... no matter what....

    This last year has been the best and most horrible year of our lives. In June of 2018 we had our daughter, in October we lost her. It has been difficult, but without each other I don't think either one would have of made it. Before we lost her we started talking about possibly getting married, and then everything happened and we knew we wanted to have at least a year of healing before we made any life changing decisions. Two months short of a year he asked me, and there was no way I could say no. We have already stuck by one another for the worst so we know we can make it through anything else.

    Kiara honey I totally identify with you!! And congratulations I feel the same way about my FH. We have broken up and STOP talking for MONTHS no contact at all and still ended up with each other. Us being apart for LONG periods of time doesnt work well with us either lol. He is cooler and calmer than I am but he is my balance. He is my peace and he allows me to be myself. Fault/flaws and all I am EVERYTHING to him and I love it

    When we started dating, I was battling some health issues. I was diagnosed with a chronic illness about a month into us dating. We have family that are intertwined and introduced us, so I told him that I didn't know how bad things would get and explained how bad things could get with the diagnosis. I told him that he didn't owe me anything and that if he'd like to, he can have a judgment free pass to cut things off and we would just tell family members that it didn't work out and remain cordial. Obviously he has since decided he wants to stay "forever" and things did get pretty bad for a little and still can, but I know he truly loves and respects me as a partner and doesn't see my illness/disability as a negative. Mind you, I have been in remission for some time (which he always makes sure to credit to my hard work and discipline), but there are residual issues like fatigue and he is super supportive. I said yes because he truly loves me. (Yes, I love him as well...just that I have said no in the past to others).
