When everyone assumed we were already married.
Toa Heftiba
Wed been together for years, and were on vacation.
It did not occur to anyone that we were not married.
We figured at that point we might as well throw a party and make it official.

When we held each other and fell asleep in a freezing-cold park.
On our 4th date we got a cheap pizza and went to a park in October up north.
We fell asleep and woke up freezing at 2 in the morning.
Instead of getting up and leaving we just held each other and went back asleep for another 2 hours.
I knew from that moment I was gonna marry this girl!

When she told my boob-obsessed dad that shes a B-cup.
What does she do?
Whats her bra size?
The first time they met she introduced herself by saying, Hi, Im Stephanie!
Im in college and Im a B-cup.
My father was horrified, my mother was laughing hysterically, and I was in love.

When I wasnt bothered having to clean up her puke and poop.
Ive been married just over a week, so Ive been telling this story a lot lately.
We were three days into a month-long backpacking trip in southeast Asia.
I, of course, am now designated as her nurse.
After one trip to empty her vomit bucket, I come back into the room and shes asleep.
I looked at her and thought to myself Im not even bothered by this.
Id do anything for her.
This is the woman Im going to marry.
Shes a disgusting barf fairy, but shes my disgusting barf fairy.
For all those asking, we had a Jewish wedding, so no vows.
I did get to break the shit out of a glass, though!

When she didnt yell back at me.
We can disagree with one another, but theres no reason to be mean.
If were going to be together, like dont be mean to me again.
That was 26 years ago (weve been married 25 years).

When I couldnt imagine my life without her in it…after our second date.
Our first date lasted 12 hours because we just couldnt stop talking.
Our second date was supposed to be just dinner and it lasted almost 2 days.
She drove away after the second date and I couldnt imagine my life without her in it.
I was ecstatic to find out she felt the same.

When her eyes lit up after I asked her to be my girlfriend.
Her eyes just lit up like nothing else when I told her I wanted to make things official.
It has felt like I can read her mind since the day I met her.
I know when shes happy, sad, upset, tired, annoyed, etc.
We dated for three years, but I knew from day one that we were going to be married.
I dont really believe in soulmates or anything too mystical.
However, if there was anyone who could change my mind about that, its my wife.

When she spent two hours helping me find my keys in a dumpster.
The day she took off work to help me go through a dumpster.
I had accidentally thrown my keys in the trash while cleaning out my car.
We found them 2 hours later.

When she delivered me ice cream after my wisdom teeth were pulled out.
I was drooling, stains of blood all over my shirt and it was the summertime.
That was almost 20 years ago and I still cant imagine having a happier life without her in it.

When she made me lasagna as I was sobbing over my mothers stroke.
Then, my mother had a stroke.
I went to visit my father at home, and she came with me.
Her Italian instincts kicked it, and she brought a load of groceries and a lasagna with her.
I would get home, and pour myself some bourbon.
She made me dinner, and just sat with me while I silently sobbed.
I bought the ring 2 months later.

When she wiped my ass for me after I broke my arm.
I had broken my right arm (actually cracked my elbow) and Im right handed.
We had been together for about 6 months and she wiped my ass for me.

When kissing her felt like falling off a cliff.
Just goofing around on the floor, I leaned over and kissed her.
It was like falling off a cliff.
I was dizzy, light headed, heard a whooshing sound, felt my heart pounding like crazy.
Barely coherent, I looked over at her- she was having the same sensation.
Something inside just connected.
Effectively, we were married right at that very moment.
Everything else was just administration and ritual.
I moved into her apartment that night & weve rarely been apart since.
Twenty-five years later, we still refer to it as that kiss.

When I realized I could be completely myself around her.
It was our first date.
It was the last day of classes before Thanksgiving break, she was supposed to drive home after class.
It was just a coffee date that stretched out for several hours.
It was just comfortable.
I wasnt worried about saying anything dumb or silly.
We were completely ourselves.
It culminated in a shy kiss in her car before she left to drive home.
Her Mom knew why she was late, just by her mood.
I went back to my apartment and talked to my roommate.
I told him there was something special about this girl.
Well be celebrating our 10-year anniversary this summer.

When she literally saved my life.
Short version: She literally saved my life.
Less-short version: Im from Michigan.
Back in December 2014, I was in Delaware for a business trip.
I was vomiting constantly, and kept drifting in and out of consciousness.
My wife (then-girlfriend) called me about 20 or 30 times before I finally answered.
The only thing I could force myself to say was hi baby.
Then I blacked out again.
I heard my girlfriends voice yelling Its me.
I screamed as loud as I could get in here!
then I blacked out.
I woke up in the hospital a day later.
The ambulance said that they would be there in 30 minutes.
She said thats not soon enough.
My wife sat with me for 6 days in the hospital.
Sleeping in the chair next to me.
Left to eat but came right back.
She didnt leave my side.
She literally saved my life.
I married her in May 2016. itNinja86

We had a long-distance relationship.
We lived 3 to 4 hours away from each other the entire time we dated.
We had met at a concert and traded emails and MSN info (classic).
We emailed and chatted every day, sometimes for hours.
We poured our hearts out about our fears and dreams.
Id go visit her every other weekend, and shed come once and a while my way.
My dad calls up the stairs that I got a package in the mail.
So I, confused, come walking down the stairs.
And there she was.
She came up to visit as a surprise.
Without thinking, I instinctively ran to her and hugged her and lifted her and spun her a bit.
And I felt in my heart a wholeness.
Like holding her filled in something I was missing.
I knew then that I never would let her go (metaphorically speaking).
Been married over 9 years, and I still get that feeling when I hug and kiss her.

When she started swinging one of my swords at me.
When I was a young lad I had bought a pair of swords.
WHY ARE YOU HIDING THESE?!
I was prepared to be mocked mercilessly, when instead she handed me one and then started swinging.
It was about that time that I realized I was going to marry her.

When she handed me a perfectly unwrapped burger that I could eat one-handed as I was driving.
I was driving us home from a golf tournament for couples.
Not sure why but I just felt so loved, nurtured and happy in that moment.
Now thats sort of our thing.
Been together 10 years married for two.

When we were having a conversation and she kept making me laugh.
When we were having a conversation and she kept making me laugh.
Her sense of humor is incredible.
She knew money was very tight for me (we were in college).
Our 34th anniversary is this Saturday.

When she cradled me for hours after I watched a two-year-old die.
In my first week as licensed as a paramedic I had a two-year-old die on me.
When I got off work, I drove to my girlfriends place and told her about my day.
I was pretty numb at the time, trying to process this kids death despite all my efforts.
She didnt push or ask lots of questions, just laid their quietly and held me.
I slowly was able to talk my way through it, and then the tears started.
She cried with me.
I felt the whole world was so dark and ugly, but she was my island of light.
Started saving up for a ring that week, and asked her to marry me 6 months later.
In September, we celebrate our 5-year wedding anniversary.
Im still a paramedic, and shes still my island.

When she took care of me after I got the flu.
Once I got flu, she stood by me day and night until I recovered.
I got to see her nurturing side for the first time.
I was already in love with her, this sealed the deal.

When she rubbed my feet while I was in the hospital.
I asked my husband and he said it was about a year into our relationship.
You talked to the doctors, asked questions, rubbed my feet (you hate feet!)
and did everything to keep me calm.
You were my advocate and made sure I got taken care of.
I knew then that I wanted to be with you forever.
I felt very loved and proud that you were mine.
It turns out he had mild sleep apnea (he didnt snore so I had no idea!)
It hasnt happened since he got a CPaP shortly after this episode.
Glad we went to the doctor because he told me it had happened before.
Sleep apnea is no joke, people!
That was in September 2014.
He proposed in April 2015, and weve been married since August 2016.
Our first baby is due in 2 weeks.

When she made me a fresh peanut butter and marshmallow fluff sandwich.
When I took the first bite, I knew Id never find anyone better.

When I accidentally spit in her eye and she burst out laughing.
My wife and I were good friends before we became romantically involved.
(Dear God, I hope Im not the only one who did this.)
Instead of being furious like a normal person, she busted out laughing.
Weve been married 12 years.

When I realized she could insult me as well as I could insult her.
This may be a bit unusual, but the way she could toss an insult around.
I tend to tease playfully, and she could always toss banter right back.

When she laughed at a joke about her grandpa dying.
She was going to visit her dying grandpa who was in the hospital.
She laughed her ass off.

When she started humping my golf club and yelling, IM HORNY.
It was a blind date.
I was 21 and she was 18.
I took her to play miniature golf.
Totally broke the ice.
Weve been married for 16 years now and shes just as crazy, loud, and hilarious.
Our kids dont even know how to handle her.
Shes also gotten more beautiful with age.
