It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been with someone, there comes a point in time in your relationship when you know that you’re with the person you’re going to spend the rest of your life with. It could be 5 years, or it could be 5 minutes.

But most people can identify the exact moment they thought to themselves “I’m going to marry this person.” Some of the moments come in times of crisis, when your significant other is the rock you desperately needed. Other times they do something so absolutely unique and hilarious, that you think to yourself “I gotta lock this one down.”

The following 25 men remember the exact moment they knew that their girlfriend would one day be their wife. Whether their woman saved their life, or she scarfed down 6 burgers in one sitting, these men thought to themselves “I found her.” But seriously, if you find yourself a gal that will have a sword fight with you, put a ring on it.

These 25 men share the moment they realized they wanted to marry their wives:


1.

My dad told me he knew he wanted to marry my mom when the McDonald’s opened in Moscow after the USSR crumbled and she ate 6 Big Macs in a row.

2.

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 everyday, sometimes for hours. We poured our hearts out about our fears and dreams. I’d go visit her every other weekend, and she’d come once and a while my way. About 3 or 4 months into doing this, I’m at home chilling at home playing some game in my room. 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.

3.

I got mad and yelled at her for some stupid shit because I had been in a toxic relationship prior to meeting her and I thought that what couples did (scream & argue). I expected her to yell back at me, but she just stared at me for a moment and asked if I was done. I said I was and she proceeded to explain to me that people who love one another do not treat each other that way. We can disagree with one another, but there’s no reason to be mean. “If we’re going to be together, please don’t be mean to me again.” That was 26 years ago (we’ve been married 25 years).

4.

I left my favorite CD in her car (Dream Theater’s Scenes From a Memory). She wasn’t a huge fan, but put up with it whenever I listened. One day I was on the phone with her while she was driving, and we said good-bye but she forgot to hang up. I waited a few seconds and I heard her singing along.
