1. How long have you and your significant other been together?
June will be 5 years since we started dating..
2. How did you meet? {What's your "love" story?}
Ohhh goodness, where do I begin?
You see, his sister and brother-in-law were the youth ministers at my church from the time I was 14 until my senior year of high school. TheHubs would often come visit his sister, and so I knew of him through her.
She told me from the get-go that I was going to marry her brother. I seriously never believed her because he's 7 years a few years older. Thehubs also had a crush on me after seeing a picture of me in a beauty pageant...little did he know my age as well. lol My dad of course would never let me date him due to the age difference, so nothing happened until I was in college.
April 2006, I had just ended a crazy insane relationship, and Thehubs found out and made a move. He got my number while I was driving him back to his car one night after an Easter program at church, and we began dating round 1 at that point.
I broke things off after a month or too....honestly because I thought he was too good for me.
Over the next year, I devoted my life to just being single and focusing on my relationship with The Lord. Thehubs said he devoted his life to praying for just one more date with me!
So Spring 2007, he convinced me to go with him to a Celtic Woman Concert in Atlanta "just as friends." I honestly think the both of us were going in to it thinking it would just be a fun day as friends hanging out. But UH OH....from the moment I saw him that morning, I was falling head over heals. Something was different...
The rest is history...
3. If married, how long have you been married? If not, is this the guy you hope to marry? {do tell}
June 6th will be 3 years of marital bliss....lol
4. If you are married, where did you get married at? Big or small wedding? If not, where would you like to get married? And will it be big or small?
We got married outside at my parent's house. Sounds like a small wedding, but we had 150-175 guests. It was the most beautiful wedding ever, if you ask me! A Dessert reception was in the back yard as the sun was setting, with dancing and music to top it off.
5. Do you have any nick-names that you call one another? Do share!
Not any serious nick-names. We do call each other "baby" and "babe" a lot, but who doesn't'??
6. Name 3 things you love most about your honey.
How about FIFTY-TWO things!?!?!
7. Tell us how he proposed? Or your ideal proposal?
He had arranged for me to come to his apartment to help his sister put together a computer desk for his birthday. Or at least that's what I thought. When I got there, our song was playing in the background, and there was a note on the oven written on a paper towel telling me how much he loves me and can't wait to spend the rest of his life with me. It then instructed me to go to the bedroom for a surprise.
I walked into the bedroom to see him on his knee, with the ring waiting for me. I believe his actual words were "Heather, you are the love of my life..will you take it one step further and become my wife?"
I know....precious!! =)
8. Is he a flowers and teddy bear kind of guy for v-day, or strawberries, champagne, and rose petals?
Um, I guess a flowers and teddy bear if I had to choose, but really neither one. He's more of a dinner some place nice kind of guy...
9. Are you a sunset dinner on the beach kind of girl, or pop a movie in and relax on the couch?
These days I've become more of a pop a movie in and relax kind of girl...and I'd probably fall asleep..
10. Tell us one thing you'd like to do with your significant one day. If you could do anything? Go anywhere?
I'd love to either go on a cruise some place amazing, or go to St. Lucia island like we had originally planned for our honeymoon...
11. Tell us what you plan on doing on this Valentine's Day.
I plan on working all day. I believe Thehubs also has to work. We actually plan on celebrating Wednesday night when his mom comes to watch the baby and we're gonna go out somewhere nice to eat.
12. Are you asking for anything this Valentine's day?
Nope, just some alone time with my man....and for him to be all sweet to me.
13. Give us one piece of advice of keeping a relationship strong and full of love.
I have so much advice that I love to give to newly weds. I believe the biggest though is to never EVER let "divorce" be a part of your vocabulary. It's not even an option. E.V.E.R.
Also, live by 1 Peter 3:1-6. Read it often, and actually do what it says. Submit....I should get better at that...Respect him always. Have a gentle and quiet spirit...
14. Show us a picture of what love means to you.
Can you tell he had NO sleep?? This was day 3 of baby boy's life....and my hubby was so sacrificially taking care of him while I waddled very carefully around the hospital room getting some of or our stuff together to go home.
Ok, go on over to From Mrs to Mamma and share your story too!
