“I Knew I Wanted To Marry Her When…”

“I Knew I Wanted

To Marry Her When…”

Despite all the statistics about the shortage of desirable men and brothers who’d rather play for fun than keeps, I found twelve who recalled vividly when the marriage bug bit.

Sam: 37 – “At my best friend’s bachelor party, I couldn’t concentrate or really get into the fun, because I kept thinking about her.  When I got up to leave before the party was over, (I pretended I had an emergency) my friend Bob joked.   “Man, you must be in love.”  I felt embarrassed by his comment.  But when I got outside, I realized it was true.”

Keith: 32 – “On our third date, I accidentally spilled red wine on her white dress, and she didn’t jump up and run to the ladies room, like she had been scalded.  She sat there and calmly wiped it dry with a napkin.  I apologized profusely and offered to buy her a new dress.  But she assured me that her cleaners could get the stain out.  I was so impressed, that on the way home, I took her to an all night boutique and bought her two new dresses.  We got married two months later.”

Jon: 43:  “She had a very artful way of making me do whatever she wanted me to do regardless of how ridiculous it seemed to me.  When she convinced me to take my mother for an expensive helicopter ride on her birthday, I knew she was the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.”

 

Hank: 34 – “We were out having dinner one night, and a guy at another table couldn’t eat for looking at her.  I became so jealous, I stopped eating.  It made me realize that I couldn’t stand the thought of her being with someone else.  After ducking and dodging the issue of marriage for two years, I spontaneously proposed that night, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Jake: 35 – “I don’t care what was up with me.  If something didn’t go right or whatever, she could always make me laugh and forget my aggravation.  I lost a real tough case in court one day, and she was waiting outside the court building with two balloons.  One read, “You’re the Greatest Lawyer In The World”. and the other read, “Every future Supreme Court Justice needs a wife.”

Mark: 29 – “I was dating several women at one time, and was having a hard time trying to figure out which one I liked the best, when one of my buddies made a teasing comment about how small her legs were, and I got angry.”
