| April 18, 1988...our 1st son was born April 18, 1994 Who would've guessed? My husband |
Then he'll say...Love you more
I'll say...Love you most
He'll say...Loved you first
And I melt.
My husband is a hottie. He's adorable and charming.
He is and always was better than any hero I could ever dream up.
And that caused a problem.
I always prided myself on being smart...and anything, or anyone, that seemed too good to be true...well, had to be fake.
And this perfect guy? I pegged him as a wolf in a sheep's disguise. I looked for him to screw up; to show his true colors, then I'd show him the door.
Then one night we were out on a date and he admitted things between us were strained; that he figured the problem was he was way farther ahead emotionally than I was. That he knew from the moment he saw me in the red prom dress that he was in trouble. That he would do whatever it took to make me...his we.
Busted. My heart dropped. Evidently the stud took one too many hits to the head on the football field. Two months past and he already forgot that I wore black?!
I pointed this fact out and he quickly explained...I know. You wore red last year, but you weren't with me.
Yeah, he's that good. And he's mine.
I didn't think men like that actually existed! If you find another one, send him my way! :D
ReplyDeleteI most certainly will!
DeleteLOVE this story! And I can't believe how many of you married your high school beaus. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is sort of neat.
DeleteBy the way, I'm jealous that you got to grow up in Hawaii!!
Wow! This is an awesome story!!! I didn't meet my hottie husband until college.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Doesn't matter when we meet them, just as long as we meet them!!
Deleteso jealous! my hub is not a romantic, but he's wonderful in other ways =)
ReplyDeleteDon't tell...but that was a rare moment...mine also bought me car tires for our first married Christmas...he has gotten a lot of mileage from that perfect moment.
DeleteAh, nice save on his part about the dress color!
ReplyDeleteYou two are adorable together. Another couple that survived prom. Awesome!
Thanks for participating!
Such fun Emily, how could I not?
DeleteLOL...I tease him all the time that it was just a clever save!
Nice save! My hubs always just snags an 'I love you' on the end of things to dig himself out. It's losing it's potency now.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love this picture! He's totally got that look on his face (with the position of his hand too) like, I'm gonna go for that boob and see if she hits me. haha!
And he was rotten enough to try...another good reason NOT to trust him!
DeleteOooh, he is good! Love this.
ReplyDeleteAwe! That is so sweet. I married my prom date too. We really are the lucky ones.
ReplyDeleteYeah, we don't have to burn our prom pictures! Just joking...I never burn pictures.
DeleteAHHHH! You guys are so cute. And I'm diggin the dialogue... "Loved you first!" Yes, I'm melting too! So sweet! And... Lady in Red is one of my all time favorite songs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Leigh. That was our song...then once he was comfortable he switched to AC/DC...Good times, good times.
DeleteAww, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Red, black same diff.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are so cute in that picture. How fun to have married your prom date
It does make for a good story. (He was the first guy I kissed too...way back in the 7th grade...some things are just meant to be!)
DeleteAlright are there more of him in the world? Because I want one! I love the fact that your husband was your prom date too! How sweet :)

Writing Through College
Look for the guy who stutters when he tries to talk to you. The more nervous you make him, the deeper you are in his head. They all have potential.
DeleteOh I love how much you love you your hubby. It makes me smile and you two are just so cute.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree. But truth be told, I only married him because he's pretty.
DeleteThis is the best story!! I love it, so sweet. You guys look cute too.
ReplyDeleteThanks...it was a good time...a time when I didn't tuck my dress into my panties!
DeleteOh my gosh. I got goosebumps. What an awesome story!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks Kelley. Goosebumps are good!
DeleteGreat story. Keep him.
ReplyDeleteI will. And he's stuck with me too...I'd cost a fortune to get rid of. :)
DeleteOh, that's so sweet. I'm surprised about the amount of ladies still married to their prom dates. That's so cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd do they still do the tie-around-the-neck thing?
No my son wore a big tie to prom this year; didn't see any bow ties on the guys.
DeleteVery cute story... I'm having fun reading all these Prom Posts as we don't (or didn't) have these back in Dublin... for us to go for a fancy dance meant going to The Pub. :)
ReplyDeleteWe did our fair share of pubbing too...but those pictures aren't quite as pretty...lol
DeleteHow sweet is that! And I love the bow tie!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I don't remember stealing it from him, but pictures don't lie!
DeleteYou're lucky to have found such a great man! And you're right, he is a hottie :D
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more!!
DeleteYou get my vote for most romantic story! It's a cute picture, too!
ReplyDeleteD'aww...
ReplyDeleteI love a good love story. :D
Me too :)
DeleteWhat a cute story!
ReplyDeleteHe IS good! You are both lucky to have each other :)
ReplyDeleteYes, we are. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI love your story. AND he IS good with that quick recovery line at the end. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's still good at saving his butt with a turn of a phrase.
DeleteAny man who remembers what you wore the year before is worth keeping... or a stalker... but in your case, worth keeping!
ReplyDeleteLOL...good thing I was still young and wearing my rose colored glasses!
DeleteAww! That's so sweet. It's great to hear stories like this about spouses, because all you hear sometimes is about the divorce rate in this country, and no one ever hears the other side, about how lifetime love does exist. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jess! Blessings on your own upcoming marriage and happily ever after!
DeleteThat's a sweet love story!! I love your photo too!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I framed it instead of the 'official' photo...I do fake smiles like Chandler Bing.
DeleteSooo cute! I'm surprised at how many people in this bloghop knew their husbands in high school....I just graduated last year, and I'm absolutely positive I didn't meet my future husband at West High!
ReplyDeleteIf you had asked me three years before that prom if I would ever marry, or even date Chad Seckman...it would have been a hearty hell no...guess you never know!
DeleteThat is so sweet!! Also, I like the date. My birthday is April 19th, the day after :)
ReplyDeleteYay!! Happy belated birthday to you!!!
DeleteOoooh, you two were meant to be. Beautiful post, glad it's your true story.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sheena-kay...still waiting on that manny!!
DeleteYou guys are soooo cute! And what a great story to go with it. :)
