I distinctly remember him NEVER asking me to be his girlfriend. We just kind of starting hanging together everyday after school and then well, we never stopped hanging out.
He says he did ask me to be his girlfriend but, even if he didn't the most important thing is, he asked me to be his wife.
Yeah, Yeah, that's all nice, well and good but, you never asked me to be your girlfriend.
He starts looking at me like I have lost my ever lasting mind. Are you serious woman? I'm your husband now, isn't that what matters?
Yes, it matters but, it would have been nice if you officially asked me to be your girlfriend.
He said the conversation wasn't going anywhere therefore he said the conversation was over.
So, when I tell people we RARELY argue, I'm telling the truth. It's not because we have this perfect (without flaws) marriage, it's just that my husband REFUSES to engage conversations that aren't going anywhere (those are his words, not mine) HaHa.
We never really resolved the 'argument'
Fast forward to a few months later, he was sent to Iraq and he had already missed one of our most favorite holidays spent together (Thanksgiving) and I get this IM (Instant Message) from him that says:
Will you go with me? Yes or No
I BALLED for what seemed an eternity. How sweet and special was that?
I couldn't contain my emotions. I couldn't believe he actually asked me after all these years.
He waited patiently for my answer and I responded...
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? OF COURSE, I'LL GO WITH YOU! NOW COME HOME SAFELY! WE MISS YOU!
Our daughter finds the story to be violably corny and gross and thinks we need to 'get a room' on most days. One day she'll understand, one day, I'm sure!
I'd like to happily announce my husband and I are officially 'going together' and we're having a date night to celebrate our union.
And guess who's NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!!
HaHa!!!!!!!

Did he give you his high school ring? :)
Congratulations!
That was a nice story. Enjoy your "date".
I think if more of us me included stopped and thought about conversations that were going nowhere, we all might be just a little more happier in our relationships!!
That is so sweet. I am glad you guys finally made it official.
Y'all are fabulous. Its so nice to hear about another couple who is happy after so many years.
*ready to pick a fight with mine*
Yanno what? He ain't even ask me to marry him. He said ....
"We're GONNA get married!"
I feel all betrayed and stuff now. I got took. Now why y'all keep pissing the boy off like that?
That was so sweet of your hubby!!
LOL @ your daughter thinking you guys are corny and gross...
I tell mines [who think the same of me and my tweetheart] that one day, their own children are gonna feel the saaaaaaaame way.
How romantic! This is stuff movies are made of, but this here is real life. Love it!
That was really sweet!!! Thanks for sharing that.
That is so sweet! At least he asked you to marry him, my husband told me to set a date. LOL.
That's great!
People are always surprised when Tim and I tell them we never really dated before we got married. We met at a science fiction convention, introduced by a mutual friend. We kept running into each other, and we ended up having ice cream together and talking all night the last day of the convention. Then I went home to Florida and he went home to St. Louis. We talked on the phone and sent letters (the internet was in its infancy then). Two weeks after we met, he asked me to marry him. That was in September. I flew up in October and our parents all met. Then I flew up for a few days at Christmas. That's the extent of our "dating." We got married in May, eight months after we met, and we'd only seen each other three times. We've been married 18 years. So, even if you never "officially" went together in high school, at least you had the time together.
