My husband and I met on a blind date.
To be honest, I fell in love with him that first night. When I got home, I told my mother that I had just met the man I was going to marry.
My husband, on the other hand took quite a bit longer to make up his mind. We dated for nine years before he proposed.
We've been married fo over 22 years but if I hadn't been patient long enough for him to figure it out, where would we be?
I really like hearing about these things! Someone once said to me that they 'chose' the person they were with. They decided that they were going to love them, and I thought that was very sweet too.
Congrats on what must be a strong marriage!
