On Getting Married: How did you decide he or she was "the one"?

[RaggedyAnn]

True stories:
When I saw my husband, something in my head said that's your future husband. After two weeks I was positive. We've been together for 10 years and married for 5. My father knew as soon as I came home and said I met someone. I guess I just said it differently this time.

Sister-in-law A saw my brother in the RA office and asked the other staffers-"Who's that?" She got to be his friend and then my brother smartened up and started dating her. My whole family knew they would marry the first time we met her. They've been married 9 years and have 2 kids.

Sister-in-law B sees my brother in a store she is transferring to and says to a co-worker, "I want him." They've been together for 9 years and married for 4 years with one kid.

My grandfather asked my grandmother to marry him on the first date. (She did say no at first.) Same thing happened with my confirmation sponsor.

It sounds hard to believe, but I honestly think you just know. If you have to force Your SO into a picture of what you want, I don't think it's the right person.
