At first, I thought, "When we get into a long relationship or get married, we tend to forget about each other’s importance, so let's create a topic to remind us of those feelings!" But as expected of the readers of Marry!!

The frequency of phrases like “It’s always!” “I can’t pick the best moment!” and “Every day♡” in the submissions made me feel incredibly happy. I felt ashamed for thinking, “Maybe when you’re together for a long time you forget to show affection…”

Introducing 6 heartwarming love stories♡

In this article, I will introduce "heartwarming love stories" chosen mostly based on my personal bias. I hope you find solace in reading the "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo" stories from 6 Marry readers who are brides-to-be and newlyweds.

① Two Boutonnieres♡

What is @moco.0409wedding's "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo"?

We got married without a formal proposal.

While that was certainly a happy moment, this story is about what happened afterward.

He conducted a "Dozen Roses" ceremony, where he collected 12 roses from guests.

In this tradition, the woman who receives the bouquet pulls out one rose and pins it to his chest as a sign of acceptance, which is said to represent the boutonniere.

After the public proposal, I held a bright red rose from him along with my bouquet.

When the time to enter the reception came, I decided to hold the white bouquet I requested after much thought. Meanwhile, the groom still had two boutonnieres pinned on him. Haha.

Even when I urged him to just keep one, he seemed reluctant.

As I wondered what was going on, he nonchalantly said, "I can't take it off in front of the person who gave it to me."

I responded, "???????"

"Because this is my answer to the proposal," he said...

And as you can see, he had two boutonnieres♡ Haha. I couldn’t tell if he was happier to have received the “OK” or because he made me cry during the proposal...

Either way, it was a moment I realized I am indeed loved♡

② A birthday present full of me＊

What is @sakit1105w's "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo"?

Let me share the moment I felt most loved!

It was on my 26th birthday when I received an album filled with "me." With 30 pages, no matter how many times I flipped, it was all about me. But every expression was different: smiling, joyful, crying, angry…

All of them looked happy, and I realized that's how he sees me.

At the end, there was a selection of his favorite expressions that made me burst into laughter.

"What am I supposed to do with an album full of me?!" I cried tears of joy, and he said, "Yeah, this might be for me. But making this was so much fun! Look at this silly face! (hahaha)" with a big smile.

Although he can be clumsy and doesn't usually express his feelings, at that moment, I truly felt loved♡

On that birthday, I went to USJ, and at the end of the projection mapping show, I found a sparkly angel that connected to the last page of the album. Remembering that I had picked it up filled me with happiness and gave me goosebumps.

③ Proud to be loved by this person, surrounding me with love ♡

What is @aya.no.suke's "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo"?

I thought a lot about what moments made me feel most loved.

There are so many that I can’t choose! Haha. Of course, there’s confessing, proposing, the wedding, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas, events – I feel loved every day, whether during dating, living together, or after getting married.

But the moment I felt the most love recently was when I found out I was pregnant.

Although I didn't have much morning sickness, my whole body ached, and I couldn’t sleep at night. My husband had a job requiring him to stay every other night, working in a cycle of 14 days: stay → off → stay → off → off → stay → off → off → stay → off → stay → off → off.

He would come home at 1 AM or leave at 4 AM, causing insomnia due to this irregular routine. Yet still, he came home almost every night.

I told him that I was okay and didn’t need him to come home, and he responded, “I want to come home because I’m worried about you.” I was grateful for his kindness.

Later, he excitedly talked about how my pregnancy might get out at work.

Even though we hadn’t yet announced it because I was not in my stable period, I learned that he changed shifts with someone so he could come home, which was not something to be taken lightly due to certain jobs requiring him to not come home for sleep reasons.

His colleagues thought, “Something must be going on with his wife,” so they asked if I was pregnant. He cleverly dodged the question but said, “If anything happens, don’t hesitate to let me know. I can change shifts anytime.”

My heart swelled with emotion. While I felt loved for him coming home and sacrificing his sleep, it was especially heartwarming to know that many people love and support him, making me proud as his wife and grateful to be loved by such a person.

I truly respected how well liked he is. “Ah, I’ve found happiness by being so loved by him,” I thought… and that our baby in my belly is also blessed.

So, this is the moment I felt I was the most loved.

④ Eternal Flowers♡ Preserved Flowers＊

What is @yukasa0810's "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo"?

He gives me adorable preserved flowers for anniversaries❀ Three months, six months, sixteen months… the timing of the gifts is a mystery.

That alone is enough to make me happy, but I felt even more loved when I received one after 1 year and 8 months?

After finishing dinner at home, he suddenly handed me a gift? It wasn’t the usual flowers but a cute cake memo holder?

Earlier during a date, we joked about “It’s so cute!” “You’d like that, huh?” “Do you get it? (laughs) But I’ll hold back~” This conversation is what caught my heart.

Thus, when I saw that he remembered this seemingly trivial conversation and actually bought it for me, I was delighted❤

After enjoying a happy bath, I found a preserved flower on the table✿ Next to it was a cute cactus that looked like a cake?

I was in tears!!

On 10/8, when my wedding will take place, is not only a reversal of our 8/10 anniversary but also the day of eternity and preserved flowers❤

I plan to display the precious preserved flowers he has given me at the welcome space❁

⑤ “Even your cut nails are cute♡”

What is @t4a3a's "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo"?

My younger husband is gentle and calm. Since we started dating, he often tells me "I like you," "You’re cute," and "I love you." At times, I thought he was foreign (but he’s pure Japanese).

Before we got married, one day I was cutting my nails at his place when he suddenly giggled next to me. When I asked, "What are you laughing at?", he kept grinning, and I thought, "What’s going on?"

Then he said, “Azusa, even your cut nails are cute?”

…What!? (What’s up with him! Haha)

It seems he found my little cut nails cute! I never expected that someone would give a compliment to something that would soon become trash.

And this moment reaffirmed that he would accept anything about me, no matter what. Haha.

Now that we are married and he’s a dad, he helps with washing dishes and cleaning the bath, and on his days off, he says, “I’ll watch the kids, so go have some fun!”

And his unique (?) pampering continues (๑>؂•̀๑) Haha. I’m completely bragging now. I’m getting embarrassed. Haha.

⑥ Always cherishing me♡

What is @emi.marry's "The Moment I Thought I Was Loved the Most #xoxo"?

I’m not just loved; I feel grateful…

Even after 9 years of dating, I’m genuinely happy that he always sees me home ? (Our houses are relatively close, too! Haha)

No matter what, he always walks me home, and when I say, “This is far enough,” he responds, “It’s dangerous, so I need to.” “I have a responsibility.”

Even after such a long relationship, he still thinks of me this way…!!

It’s a small thing, but it warms my heart, and I feel so grateful…?
