When was the moment you knew you would marry H?

I knew on our first date. He was the whole package. I was his first girlfriend though and he wasn't sure until about 18 months in. We were 19 when we started dating, 10 years ago yesterday!

The first time I saw him.  (heart)
We were meeting at a restaurant, and when I saw him get out of his car and walk towards me I swear my heart flipped!! I knew right away that he is the one I would spend my life with....

I'm a lurker but I'll play...

We weren't dating long but were really serious, really fast. I was at my nieces 8th bday dinner/cake thing and he called. Conversation started going towards our future together and I felt I had to be upfront then about my infertility before it was even more serious. I didn't think it was fair to him to get more involved if kids were something he wanted and I couldn't give him. Thirty seconds after I said it my phone died without hearing his response. Didn't sleep at all that night. He fell asleep by the time I was home and could call him back.

Next day he met me for lunch and I looked like death warmed over. He asked what was wrong, got up from his seat and sat next to me. He just knew what it was. Then told me it didn't matter, he loved me and if it happens, great. If not, that's okay too. And if we wanted, we could just adopt. As long as we were together. Then asked why I thought he would care and said I was upset for no reason since it didn't matter to him.

And that was when I knew for sure he would love me no matter what.

At the wedding rehearsal. I don't like to count my chickens before they are hatched.

There wasn't a specific moment, but from our first date, it just felt right being with him. He asked me out on a second date in the middle of our first date. Months later, I knew that H knew we'd get married. We were meeting outside a restaurant. He was across the street and when he saw me, he just started walking. It was a green light and he almost got hit by a car. When he got to me, I asked him if he was crazy, and he said something like, "I just saw you and I had to be with you." (cue barfy rom-com movie ending)

A couple of months after we started dating, we walked down the street from his place to get ice cream. We were sitting outside on a bench, people watching, and he said something about how we would be doing this together when we were old. And I knew he was right. Took him another 6 years to propose, but from early on we talked about our future together.

I was stranded up in the mountains during a freak fall snowstorm. It went from 75 & sunny to over 6 feet of snow overnight. No one had chains. The county's phone lines were down, so I couldn't get through to my boss to leave a message that I might not be in Monday. No smartphone for me back then, so I couldn't email my boss. That week was going to be my final review after a 2-1/2 year probationary period, and a no-show would have gotten me fired.

H called me to see how the weekend was going & I explained the situation. We had been dating around a year at that point. Without me asking him for help, he volunteered to go to a store, bought chains for his truck and chains for my car, as well as some extra chains for other people I was with. Then he drove up the mountain to get me. What is usually a 1 hour drive took 5 hours with the ice, snow, and road closures. The whole reason I hasn't asked him for help was because I was worried about the safety of trying to drive up. He dropped off the chains for the others to use the next day (when it was expected to clear up enough to shovel out), got me into his truck, and drove me home, which took a couple of hours. My friends drove my car down the next afternoon.
