This may seem kind of funny, but almost from the very beginning I knew Hal was the one. This is weird, but the night before I met Hal I was hanging out with all of my sisters since one was leaving town the next morning, and I told her I felt like I would be getting married soon. (I was fully single at this point) How weird is that? I just kind of felt that it was coming, and low and behold, the next night I met my future husband.


It's funny, but I sent that picture that I posted in my last Wedding Wednesday post, the first picture that was taken of us, to my sister who hadn't met him and she will swear that she called her husband in when she saw it and told him that she thought we would get married.

There was a funny moment of when Hal told me that he loved me. He said "I really like you, like I love you as a friend. Yeah, like a really good friend. A really good friend. Ok, I love you." It took him 5 minutes of him telling me he loved me as a good friend and me laughing at him for him to actually come out and say it. That's his silly personality though, he says really dorky things, but they are so sweet and cute.  That night he after I dropped him off at his house he told his mom that she might have a son married in 2009. Which is funny because we totally got married in 2008.


So there was never really an "HOLY COW, HE'S THE ONE" moment, it was more of a as soon as we were together I just knew it was where I needed to be, and who I needed to be with, forever. It's like that quote that I posted here before, "Someday, someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else." That's more of how it was for us. From the moment we were together, which was never an official moment itself..It's pretty much since we met, we were together and both of us just knew.
