Have you ever had a “Wow! I want to/am going to marry this person” moment?

[BritneyPeedOnALadybug]

Just as the title says really. I haven’t had one myself but interested in reading others.

Yes! Our eyes met across a crowded room. We went out together for three years but didn't get married.

Yep with my now husband. I knew him before we were a couple and I remember telling my friend he was my future husband. I was with my ex at the time

I haven't, but my ex husband and current one both did

Not me, but my dm and df. And they didn’t say it.They had both got out of unhappy war time marriages and they met at a dance. Dad apparently after meeting mum, became the happy person he’d been previously. When He brought her home for tea, my dgm said after “You’re going to marry that woman.” He did, they were happily married for 30 years until dfs death. Mum always said he was her one true love.

No, but when I was getting to know my now DH, one of my best friends joked about how great it would be if I married him. Five years later I decided I agreed with her! (Not that she remembered saying it 😆)

Yes. With DH. We met and about 15 minutes later I was watching him tell our mutual friend something and he looked so lovely and kind and happy as he chatted to her, I just thought, 'Oh, it's you. I could never get bored of you.'
I told him ages later and he replied, 'You creepy weirdo. I'd have run a mile if I'd known. It took me at least two hours to think the same of you.'
Together 27 years.

Yes, I told my best friend the day after I met him that I’d be marrying him. We are 21 years in. I don’t know what I would do without him really.

Yes first date! I got to the age of 29, very independent, had bought own house, good career, was convinced I'd never meet "the one" , first date with DH and knew this was it! I was the cynical one who thought such stories nonsense until it happened to me!

Been together 13 years and still very happy and loved up

Yes at 15 I fleetingly saw now Dh and thought immediately‘I’m going to marry him’ then didn’t see him again for ages and almost but not quite forgot
I didn’t even officially meet him properly till I was 18 and as soon as I did that was it and we did get married been together since then

Yep, I was with someone else at the time and it was a proper lightening moment, it was like "Oh THERE you are!" Finished with boyfriend and have been with him for 30 years and we have a son

I was at my then bf's shared house. I was walking downstairs when the thought occurred to me, 'if this guys asks me to marry him, I'm going to say yes.'

A few weeks later he proposed. Last year was our silver wedding anniversary.

Yes, only once, and we're happily married over thirty years later.

At the time I was totally overwhelmed by the strength of feeling and the certainty of it. I hadn't ever expected to feel like that.

Oh yes...

Twice. I’m not married to either...

First was at university. Met and it was instant. On and off for nearly ten years before we had to walk away from each other. Let’s just say the fantasy was not the reality. I agree with the poster before who said about narcassists....

The second was with my current partner. Nearly 3 years and going strong. I think I’ll marry him. He completes me and it was instant as soon as we met.

Yes - even told my best friend at the time, when we met through a mutual friend in a nightclub! We were 18, had two children in our thirties and married but sadly split when we were 40 as we had become like brother and sister. fortunately it was amicable and we still have many mutual friends and talk a lot about the (now adult) kids

God, yeah. Loads of times.

Yes. Mutual friend introduced me to someone at a conference. I knew then that I’d marry him. I only stuck around a few more minutes then, but we’ve been married fir nearly 20 years now.

Yes ! Iv had that but it took a few months to get that feeling ! But the day I met him I just had the overwhelming feeling of knowledge that he was going to be the father of my children.....and I was right :)

Yes. DH was on my table at a Ball. I went with someone else, DH's girlfriend was the chair of the Ball committee. The connection was electric and other people noticed. When I was formally introduced I recall looking at him and his name plate and having to double-take because a voice said "You shall marry him".

He called me about 6 weeks later after breaking up with his gf (of 5 years). We haven't really been apart since our 2nd date when he clasped my hand and said he had fallen in love with me. That was about 31 years ago, give or take a week or two.

Totally the love of my life. Absolutely knew the minute we met. We are very objective and analytical people.

I don't usually think like that at all but when I first saw pictures of my DH online I felt this weird pull like I knew him. I thought he was attractive but that wasn't it. I felt like I'd re found someone I knew.
The first time we met in person we had a hug, I looked up at him and thought I'm going to marry you.
It's wasn't as cringe as it sounds, it just felt matter of fact.
He said that when he first saw pictures of me he froze and stared as he felt he knew me too.

Yes. We'd been going out about 3 months. I woke up one morning in his bed, saw him sleeping next to me and unbidden the thought came into my head "I'm going to marry him "

23 years later he's just made me a chilli and lime martini. What's not to love?

Yes. Still the most amazing person 30 years later.

Yep, with ex.
We were married for over a decade, and had two amazing kids. We were definitely meant to marry, and definitely meant to divorce

Yes,, saw a man chatting to his family on the other side of a swimming pool in Malta, and thought 'I'm going to marry that man!'

It was weird..I was 20, had a boyfriend, no intention of meeting anyone.

We've been married 30 years....

not a wow! but a week in, a comfy feeling of 'I can see us getting married' he felt the same as the next day he said the same as I was thinking.

We'd both been in roller coaster relationships previously, so enjoyed the calm and comfy slipper feel we have gave each other.

We've been together 23 years now.
