Matt is really wonderful about surprising me with flowers. One evening after we had been dating for a little over six months, he came by for dinner and brought a beautiful bouquet. In with the flowers was a little packet of gummy candy shaped like frogs. He told me that while he was in line waiting to pay for the flowers, he saw the frogs…

We got engaged on my 28th birthday…

It was a Tuesday morning and we were both getting ready for work. I was feeling a little down for getting older, so I wasn’t in a very happy mood. He saw that I was so sad, so he decided to give me my birthday present right then to cheer me up (opposed to when he had planned to…

I just thought I’d share how sweet & romantic my hubbs can be. I attached a picture of the certificate he made himself.

The original was given to me while we were dating… and in the past 4 years I have won all 3 catagories: best girlfriend, fiance & wife.

You can see how cute & creative he can be with his title at the bottom…

Dear Weddingbee,

DJ and I met at the beginning of my summer vacation from college and had a wonderful time dating for the rest of it, but my semesters spent half an ocean plus a continent away took a toll on us. I couldn’t handle the stress of school without someone there to hold my hand, give me hugs, and tell me it would be okay.…

M does little things that shows me that he loves me - buying my flowers just because, holding me until I fall asleep if I had a rough day, always giving me a bite of his dinner, switching plates if I don’t like my food, letting me watch my TV shows, vacuuming because he knows how much I hate it, etc. However, my story isn’t…

Another year, another Mother’s day.

I’ve had bad years (spent depressed and in tears), I’ve had bitter years (fights with everyone around me for weeks, hate everyone who has a mother), I’ve had intensely stressful years (anxiety attacks and physical heart aches) but finally, it seems that I’ve gotten to the acceptance phase. Sunday came, Sunday went,…

On August 5, 2006, I woke up to some rustling downstairs in my house. My boyfriend had come over at 6:00 in the morning to prepare breakfast burritos…YUM!!! Then he told me to get ready because we had to go to Long Beach. He told me to bring a bathing suit and a change of clothes.

As we were about to leave the house, he said,…

I grew up as a typical Korean, city girl when I moved to the midwest. At first I was devastated, but then I met a simple, country boy who would change my life :).

With the difference in our cultures, it’s been an interesting ride to say the least. One thing that has always stood out in our relationship though, is that he continues to surprise…

There have been some great stories so far! I hope mine brings smiles like the others made me smile.

I had a hard time narrowing it down to just one thing. My bf’s done so many great little romantic things, but if I have to choose one, it’d be one where it probably wasn’t intended to be romantic.

Last year, for my birthday, he sent me this…

My story is not the most romantic but it’s the little things that matter to me more….

We park in the same parking lot so after work everyday, I would receive post-it notes on my window.

Here are a few…

My Love. My Future. My Everything. You’re Everything.
For You My Love “Anything”
Special… Just too special… You’re special.
Want to be Next to You Every Moment… Missing You!
I’ll be right…

On May 19th, my fiance decided to make dinner reservations for us to “just have a fun night out and enjoy ourselves” - I think is how he phrased it in an email to me. After work on Friday, I got home a little while before him and when he arrived, we left for dinner. We started our way down 16th Street, heading west, toward…

Hello Bees everywhere,

My story may not be in line with those submitted, but it touches my heart whenever I think of it, so here goes:

When I met my husband-to-be (let’s call him C), I was just coming out of a painful relationship. I was heartbroken and lonely and because misery loves company, I shamelessly took advantage of C’s immediate tenderness and affection. A…
