The moment she randomly quoted Eddie Izzard's DRESS TO KILL standup routine. There's not a lot of people who have even seen that standup, let alone love it enough to randomly quote it to people that you don't know well. The second she did I knew our personalities would perfectly align and nothing for the next several months gave me reason to doubt that. Just got married 3 weeks ago.
When she proved the "never trust a big booty and a smile" saying wrong. Either that or the first time that I saw that booty.
Congrats breh. Though I think I've met you in the mid 2000s on our CF basketball days with the "half rims" and thought you were already married then.
This is very similar to the advice I give to my younger brothers (and their friends) when the topic of marriage comes up. Essentially, I believe that marriage should never be the "solution" to a "problem" Horny and want to have sex? Fornicate Knocked her up? Support her and be a father to the kid before deciding to be a husband as well. Parental pressure? f*** 'em
When did I know she was the one? Very early on. She is still the most dynamic person I have ever met. She was in many ways the opposite of what I always imagined I wanted... She was dark haired, Arab, had a crossbow, illegally purchased ghost desert eagle and a detox kit in her trunk the first time she opened the trunk after we met. We slept very little, did a tremendous amount of alcohol and I met a number of very interesting but bad people in a short period of time in expensive hotel rooms and in alternative clubs deep in old Chicago. I was planning to stay 48 hours in Chicago with her and return to work in Houston as a lawyer.... Instead I lost my job because I decided work wasn't important; maxed out my credit cards, had 36 hour long benders and got to know my wife really well. We fought some during that time; but never left each other's side for two months before I went back to Houston for 24 hours and felt physically sick without her and returned to see her. I have kept her out of the fire a number of times; and talked her or fought her out of trips for easy money from stolen antiquities and running paper. I remember when she dropped out of Smith after the summer. For a very boring man, it was a thrilling and amazing time. I never thought I would lose her....and so far I haven't. It has been 15 years, she was 19 at the time and my love for her is more mature, less Romeo and Juliet; but has more depth.. and she knows my dark side... I now run a multi state (technically multi national law firm) and to all appearances look boring enough... Clean cut, boots and a suit every day... My wife with nearly 20 tats on her body and a family that can't do anything legal. We are the odd couple though; and I don't ever wonder if I made the right choice or if she is the right one for me. Responsibility came with time, she let me build my career and buisness; other than the ocassional appearance at my office in a corset which raised eyebrows. I was lucky. As we have aged and changed, no more drinking other than the ocassional wine, no more creepy friends with a handful of teeth in his coat pocket and no more relatives asking for illegal favors. We have the acres to hunt and grow our son on, for her to shoot AR's to her hearts content and a good life. I didn't know HOW it would be when we were together, but the thought never scared me.... So that's how I knew.
I knew it. The very first time I saw her... which also happens to be the first time my parents and my best friend saw her... which also happens to be the most amazing day of my life... and I knew it. By the way, this is my first post in Clutchfans... and I knew it.

I was, didn't work out. This is my 2nd (and last) marriage. Edit: I guess, with that in consideration, maybe take my advice with a grain of salt.
The moment she invited me over to watch The Simpsons, drink imported beer and smoke a J. Seriously. I'm not sure I actually hung up the phone before bolting out the door. Been together for 18 years and hitting 15 of marriage in October.
After two years of a relationship and not being able to commit, my girlfriend and I just broke up. :/ Super painful.
