Heartwarming "I thought being married is wonderful" episodes selected: 6 ♡
Similar to the '#プロポーズエピソードxoxo' project, more than 100 pre-brides and graduated brides shared their sweet stories ♡ I read through all of them, and I felt like, “Marriage is truly wonderful ♡ Being a couple is amazing ♡"
I saw various episodes, such as those during tough times or beautiful surprises, but I particularly resonated with those who felt, "I thought I wanted to be with this person forever during everyday moments." In this article, I will introduce the posts from six brides who shared such everyday moments ♡
① I realized that I feel more comfortable with him than at my parents' house.

The moment I wanted to marry him *
After four years of dating, we finally tied the knot ♡ At the beginning of our relationship, I had just moved to the city, and I was excited to return home during long holidays.
Every time I returned, I enjoyed meeting my family and friends ♩ My belief that "my home is my parents' house" was unshakable, and I felt "my comfortable place has always been my parents' house!"
However, during the second year of our relationship, on Obon holiday, I had a strange feeling when I went home... I realized that I felt more myself with him than with my parents and siblings.
I could cry in front of him, embarrass myself, and express my selfishness. I noticed that my comfortable place was shifting from "my parents' house to him."
I realized that he had become an irreplaceable presence for me, surpassing even my beloved family.
At that moment, I thought, "The place I will return to from now on is not my parents' house but next to him," and that was when I knew I wanted to marry him.
② After getting scolded by my father...
@shochii_wedding's moment of 'I want to marry this person xoxo' is about ???
About three months into dating my husband, I was a temp worker, and he was a college student with a part-time job.
Without really realizing that we were about to become working adults, we sometimes went out until 2 or 3 in the morning during our meetings, taking naps before heading to work every few days.
That day was no different; I was dropped off around 3 AM. However, when I got home, my father had returned from his night shift.
My father, who usually doesn't comment much on my life, came outside and started scolding both of us.
Even though I was a temp worker, I had to work in the morning. I was driving to work after getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep.
"If you cause an accident, will you take responsibility!?" "What if you make a huge mistake at work?" he yelled at us more than ever before.
I was crying, feeling it was unfair that I had to be scolded and that he had to be scolded too. But he listened carefully to my father and apologized more than I did.
I realized how irresponsible my actions were and how much concern I was causing around me.
After that, I apologized to him through my tears, and we said goodbye that day.
He felt anxious, thinking, "What if she hates me too since I'm getting scolded by someone who isn't even my parent?"
However, when we met next, he greeted me with a smile like always, saying "Chii♡."
Seeing that smile made me want to cry, and I asked, "Did you hate me? Do you want to break up?"
He replied with a smile, "Why? What Dad said wasn't wrong at all. It's our fault. He was worried about you. I think it's the first time I got scolded by someone else's parents."
In that moment, I felt that he was facing being scolded even though he hated it.
I truly felt that he really loved me, and at that moment, I knew I wanted to marry him.
After a while, we traveled with my family and had drinks with my father, not avoiding the situation but rather participating and saying “thank you” for including him.
I love my husband, who values interactions not only with his own family but also with mine ♡
③ When he ate all of my failed cooking without leaving any behind.

About a year into our relationship, he first told me, "Make me dinner!" and I made yakisoba.
I thought I chose something safe that wouldn’t fail (laughs) because I had made it at home before!!
However... while seasoning it with soy sauce, I accidentally spilled a significant amount into the frying pan!!
I ended up with some very salty yakisoba (′︿‵。) laughs.
But... I had used all the ingredients I had purchased, and the store was closed since it was late at night, so I apologized and served it to him.
He stood up silently and microwaved some rice from the freezer. "It will be perfect as a side dish!" he said and ate everything without leaving any behind ♡
He had to focus on nutrition due to his job.
In that moment, I thought, "There are such kind people!"
I remember feeling so relieved and almost crying.
④ I want to overcome sadness together.
@sanae.s1226's moment of 'I want to marry this person xoxo' is about ???
"I can share happy moments with anyone, but I want someone who can support me during tough and sad times…"
When I heard him say this before we started dating, I thought, "Ah... this person is just like me."
At that moment, I felt as if I was going to be with this person forever. Laugh
Originally, we had the same values and desires. Before I knew it, we mutually attracted each other, fell in love, started dating, and eventually got married...
It felt like it was meant to be ♡ I don't want to marry someone because 'I want to be made happy.'
I want to marry someone who I can say, "No matter what happens, we can get through it together." (*^^*) We became a happy couple who will always be friends ♡
⑤ Actually, I thought "I want to marry this person" even before we started dating *
@yucamo_wd's moment of 'I want to marry this person xoxo' is about ???
The moment I wanted to marry my husband was actually before we started dating. Laugh
My husband and I had once gone out to eat alone for the first time when we were still friends.
We went to a regular family restaurant (laughs), and while casually chatting, the topic of family came up.
At that time, I heard that my husband's parents had a great relationship and still went out on dates.
To be honest, I can't really say my parents have a great relationship...
They seemed like a couple that was together despite complaining about each other, so I was shocked to hear that!
When my husband said, "I want to walk hand-in-hand with my partner like my parents do even after marriage," I thought, "If I marry this person, I would be happy forever. That would be nice..."
But then I thought, "He's younger, so that's probably not happening," and I closed the door on that thought. Laugh
This was my moment of "I want to marry this person" ♡
Since I didn't have a particular moment that made me think of marriage after we started dating, maybe I unconsciously thought, "I want to marry him," which led to us dating? Laugh
I want to cherish my husband so that we can remain a loving couple in the future ♡
By the way, the photo is from when I was surprised with a celebration for our marriage registration ♡ I was surprised when a cake came out at the izakaya. Laugh
⑥ "I will ensure that you return home by curfew, Mr. and Mrs. A."
@a_wedding_y's moment of 'I want to marry this person xoxo' is about ???
My family was very strict, and there was a curfew when I started dating him. 12 AM. I felt like Cinderella! (laughs) Even though I was 25 years old! Stayovers were absolutely out of the question.
So even though I was dating him, we couldn't go on trips or go out far. I was constantly wishing my friends who seemed to have those experiences were fortunate (T . T)
I also talked about it with him, saying, "I have a curfew, so I can't go on trips like my friends."
I explained that I couldn't stay over until we had been dating for at least a year.
At that time, he was living alone. After about a month of dating, I went over to his house, and just when I was about to leave...
He said, "Wait a minute!" I wondered what it was, and he came back...
He handed me a business card with his workplace and name on it and said, "Can you give this to your parents??"
The message on that card read, "To Mr. and Mrs. Azusa, I will ensure that Azusa returns by curfew."
I took it home and handed it to my parents. A few months later, his sincerity paid off, and I got permission for stayovers, allowing us to travel together ♡
When I later asked him why he gave me that business card, he said, "I didn't want to lose your parents' trust in me."
In that moment, I truly felt how much he treasured me, and I thought, "I want to marry this person!"
By the way, he mentioned that his mother had always told him, "If you ever find yourself hanging off a cliff between me and your girlfriend, choose your girlfriend over me."
He said, "I finally found that girlfriend." ♡
