My current boyfriend of 2 years finally asked me out!

We had been talking about dating for almost a year and I knew I wanted to be with him but he was very shy! We went to a New Year’s Eve party and when everyone was shooting off fireworks we were standing on the porch and he wrapped his arms around me and asked me to be his girlfriend. Saying yes was the best decision I ever made. Soon he will be my husband and not my boyfriend. ❤️

When he received his gift he picked me up and told me that now he has not only me but the star map to remind him of the most perfect night of his life.

I am so beyond pleased with my star map & it hangs above our bed. Thank you ❤️❤️

I was 17 and had a new car so I decided to drive into a car wash one day.

As I pulled around to go into the wash the attendant looked into my window and I recognized him...the brother of a guy I knew. We exchanged hellos and I got my wash. The next day he called my house to ask me out. We went to a graduation party for high school seniors at his church. Fast forward a year and we were married!

After we were married he told me his story of that day. When he saw me pull into the car wash he said to the guy working with him..."You see that girl? Well, I'm going to marry her!" Call me crazy but that is sooooo romantic!

As of this year June 16th we will be married 40 years. So this chart will be his gift...Thanking my lucky stars my car was dirty!

It was the first time I left my home after having had chemo and radiotherapy. It was months since I went out with my friends and had a beer. I had no hair, I still felt sick. But that night I met her.

We talked and laughed and we still do, after 9 years. My wife.

I stood in front of a crowd of approximately 400 people with the most amazing woman by my side.

Patiently waiting for the minister to finishing talking so i could finally say “I do” and become the happiest man in the world.

This was the night my mother met my father.

They were together for 26 years and loved each other every moment of it. I gave this to my mother Christmas of 2018 and sadly she died on my birthday in January of 2019. She didn’t get to have her star chart long, but she cried when she got it because the moment meant so much to her.

For me, it’s now a reminder. I wish this was a happier message, but I assure you everyone in the family thought it was a thoughtful and meaningful gift about two people who were soulmates.

We met the way most modern couples meet… on a dating app.

I had been pretty sick of online dating and had nearly given up but took a leap of faith with Robert (mostly because he laughed at my jokes). Our first date was to the Newport Boat Parade, which is an awesome Christmas light show right before the holidays. Unfortunately, it got completely rained out. We sat in the rain for several hours laughing and talking and barely noticed that there were no actual boats going by. The next night, he made it up to me and surprised me with a walk around a different neighborhood where every house was decked out with lights.

Rob and I have talked about getting engaged for a while now, so I knew it was coming. To throw me off the scent, Rob told me that he got the ring, but it wouldn’t be ready until March. Rob and I run an adventure blog and we had a trip to Yosemite National Park planned for quite some time. Yosemite holds a special place in our hearts because Rob took me there for my first time on one of our first trips together.

Rob and I took a little stroll to see the waterfall closer. While he set up the tripod to take a picture of us I was completely preoccupied with the waterfall and the view. I heard him come up behind me and when I turned around he was down on one knee. I was completely surprised!

The day was the 4th of July and I was 18 years old. My family was invited to a party to shoot fireworks and it was that very night that I met my now fiance.

We had never interacted until that day, didn't know one another, but I instantly noticed her in all of her beauty and attitude. We mingled a bit exchanged Myspace names and that was it. Several months later her mother was in a horse riding accident and was hospitalized, so she came to live with me and my family for a while. We dated on and off after her mother recovered, we were madly in love but much too young.

We moved separate directions in our journey until about 8 years later under some unlikely circumstances we met again which leads us to where we are now, we are both older, wiser, and still madly in love. We have a house and fur babies and are excited to plan our wedding day. It's an insane story which started that 4th of July in 2008 when we met under those very stars.

This was the perfect way to memorialize the moment that set our life in motion.

I met the love of my life.

I had started a new job, while I was on my break I went to the cafeteria and noticed him and that was it for me.
Nine years later we are together and in love, and the fact that there is a site like Under Lucky Stars that can track how our day was aligned is amazing.
I chose the cell phone case as I have it with me every day and it reminds me of the very first day I saw his cute face.

November 6th, 2017 I gave birth to my first child with my husband.

I had a very hard pregnancy, I was sick almost every day for the entire day. I had to stop working sooner than planned and overall a very hard pregnancy. I was lucky enough to go into labor at home and make it to the hospital with no complications.
Once I was all set in the delivery room, the waiting game began. I labored for 12 hours before having to have an emergency C-section. In the end, both my first son and myself were healthy and happy.

I chose Under Lucky Stars because my husband never once left my side and he was nothing but amazing my entire pregnancy and labor. Not only is he an amazing husband, but he’s an outstanding father. This was such a meaningful gift for him to receive.
