When did you know you would marry your husband?

I met my husband when I was 18.  I pretty much stalked him after our first encounter, stealing his phone number from the pool I worked at & calling him a week later under the guise of needing some information on his church.  I reverse-searched his number so that I could know where he lived & I drove by his house one night when I had nothing to do.  Yeah, I wasn't kidding when I said I stalked him.

Our first date was awkward at first, then amazing.  I remember sitting in front of my house at the end of the date & I couldn't even look him in the eyes because every time I did I thought I would puke.

The next night we had our first kiss, and after I left I had to pull over on the drive home to fight the urge to throw up.  Now, you might think that was a bad thing, I mean, I had kissed a lot of guys, and none of them had ever made me want to puke before.  But it wasn't a bad thing.  It was amazing, this nagging feeling that this guy was the guy. 

After a week we said "I love you," and after a month he told me he wanted to marry me.  And I knew I would marry him. 

We didn't rush into anything.  We dated for three years before tying the knot, and we celebrated our five year wedding anniversary last month.  We've had our highs and lows, as any couple does, but when I think back to those early days, I think of how sure I was that he was it for me.

So, was I the exception?  When you met your husband, did you know quickly that he would be "the one?"  Do tell.

    I have to admit I haven't been to church in a few years but when my then boyfriend told me he went every Sunday with his family somehow I knew he was the right one. We dated a short time broke up dated again a very short time broke up and the third time was a charm.......but I always knew through all that he was the one just beacuse he went to church(PS we are no angels by any means we lived a little on the wild side)

    I met my husband in a single's group. I just thought of him as an older brother type. But, then he started e-mailing me and we went out a few times. On our third date, a romantic hike in the woods, I thought, this guy could be the one. One year later, we were married.

    My husband and I knew we were meant to be after two weeks of dating. We have seen each other almost every single day since we met over four years ago. We waited one year and a half before we actually got married. He's still my best friend, and we're more in love now than ever.

    I met my husband in high school. I had just recently turned 16 and he was 17. We were engaged 3 months after we started dating. We got married right after high school and just celebrated out 12th wedding anniversary.

    i met my hubby through a friend via myspace actually...i knew he was the one only a few days after "dateing". I was going through a rough patch with my family and he was there supporting me, even though we had met not to long before. He dropped everything for me, to make sure i was ok and made me feel like i was number one. we met in person 6 months later when he popped the question. We have been married a little over a year now. Like the others have said...hes my best friend, hes my lover he is my soulmate.

    I met my husband at work. It was a summer job for me when I came home from college. I was 19 years old and he was 22. The way he looked at me and talked to me, wanting to know who I was and what I liked made me feel very special.

    What made me know that he was the one for me was when he ask me for my number. He did write it down and I thought he just asked to be nice be when he called me that night for a date I asked how did he remember my number. He said he remembered by heart. needless to say I melted.

    We married after 5 months and 27 years later he still knows my number.
