25 Men Confess The Moment They Knew They Wanted To Marry Their Wife

Our first date lasted 12 hours because we just couldn’t 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 couldn’t imagine my life without her in it. I was ecstatic to find out she felt the same.

We were three days into a month-long backpacking trip in southeast Asia. We’re staying in a seedy hotel in Bangkok and she gets a bad case of food poisoning – it’s coming out of both ends for 24 hours. I, of course, am now designated as her nurse. I’m refilling her water bottle, getting her soup from the restaurant outside, keeping her company and, most importantly, emptying the trash bin she keeps puking into. After one trip to empty her vomit bucket, I come back into the room and she’s asleep. I looked at her and thought to myself “I’m not even bothered by this. I’d do anything for her. This is the woman I’m going to marry.” She’s a disgusting barf fairy, but she’s my disgusting barf fairy. Zero regrets.

When I first told my father that I was dating someone new, he jokingly asked, “What’s her name? What does she do? What’s her bra size?” I told her about it, hoping to prepare her for his sense of humor, and she thought it was hilarious. The first time they met she introduced herself by saying, “Hi I’m Stephanie! I’m in college and I’m a B-cup.” My father was horrified, my mother was laughing hysterically, and I was in love.

When my son called her “Mama”. My ex left us high and dry when my son was 4 months old.
