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.

did you somehow know deep inside

Yeah, it's a completely subconscious thing, there was no having to work at things. Simply a click of the fingers and done, moment of beautiful clarity.

Mine's just brought me a cuppa and a slice of cake. He'll do

there was no having to work at things

This is so true. I was never anxious or nervous, I didn't worry about anything silly like texting too much or too soon or whether he would want to see me again or what I should wear etc etc. It was just easy, right from the beginning, and has been ever since, despite some really difficult and painful life circumstances that we've faced.

Yes - when i was hungover and asked him to bring me a snack and he brought me Dominos.

Knocked my socks off.

Yes. But turns out he was just very good at making women feel like that.

After my first date with DH I told my flatmate I was going to marry him - and I did!

DH annoys me sometimes but still glad that I married someone who is genuinely kind and thoughtful.

Yes, my ex husband, all good things come to an end

Yes when I met DH but I told myself it was rubbish and was really cautious for about 3 months. He, on the other hand, told me we would get married after a week, asked me after a month and I said no, asked me again after about 6 months and I said no and eventually after almost a year he asked again and I said yes. We got married a few months later. None were huge romantic proposals and he was never fazed by me saying no. He's my best friend and I love being with him- drives me mad at times
I just think we were both in a good place and ready to meet someone. I am sure there are other people out there who either of us could have met and been happy with. I am just glad we met each other.

I had a similar experience to previous posters, that "there you are" feeling. Totally not lust or infatuation, like I hadn't realised he should have been in my life until suddenly he was. No drama or difficulty in getting together, a period of friendship that developed naturally into more.

Weirdly, I've had a similar feeling with some friendships. I walked into a new job once, spotted this woman across the room, and it was an instant "there you are, crack open the Twirls and tell me what you really think of the line manager"

Yep. We were 18, had been going out for about a year and I had a few hundred quid debt in my overdraft that I was stressed about paying off on £4 an hour whilst studying. He transferred the rest of his savings and insisted that I paid off my debt with it.

Wouldn't accept it back. He is incredibly generous still 14 years later.

Yep! My ex husband completely swept me off my feet. Told my best friend within 48 hours of meeting him he was the one and I would marry him. 4 years later we married then divorced shortly after as the twunt forgot to tell me beforehand that he didn’t want children!

My DH and I walked around the corner on a Monday morning for our first date, just meeting for coffee, and we saw each other and both thought "that's the person I'm going to marry". It was like something out of the movies.

DH and I met up for a first lunch date at midday and were still talking at 8pm. I was always very reserved and caution during the first 2 months and didn't really allow myself to fully feel anything, but then he met me at Victoria coach station with flowers after a weekend away and it all just clicked.

Also, it's dead cheesy but I remember having this clear as day vision of him holding "our baby" when I was sat next to him in bed one day. Totally unlike me to picture that sort of thing, but I could picture the scene so clearly.

Yes I did. We were together 22 years but then split as had become like brother and sister (two children later) still friends though

Mine wasn't a lightning bolt but more of a feeling of certainty, relaxed, and as clear as the sun rising in the morning. This was despite the fact that he was "unsuitable" and unobtainable. Massive obstacles were insignificant. Even when he tried to put me off I wasn't upset because I knew.
Been together for 22 years now.

Day one of my university course. We all had to present in front of the class and when he stood up, I thought that's the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with. We are married and have three children.

Not marry as such, but I vividly recall feeding my dogs one event and being hit like a thunderbolt with the startling revelation that I loved (now) DH.
I was genuinely rooted to the spot with it and once I'd gathered myself together, immediately called him to tell him.
His phone went to voicemail, which somewhat dampened the moment
