Matthew McConaughey Reveals the Magical Moment He Knew Camila Alves Was the One

On getting married to Camila: "I had to get to the point where I saw it as more than just the thing to do. I wanted to really want to. You know, I didn't want it to be a destination; the fun is that we're on the adventure together. And look, some of it had to do with her putting it on me. It took her going, 'C'mon, Big Boy, Mr. Easygoing-We'll-Get-to-It-When-We-Get-to-It. Either sh*t or get off the pot.'"
On the night he fell in love with Camila: "I was very happily single and healthily single. I was not looking, but out of the corner of my eye, this sort of aqua-green figure went floating across the frame about 20 feet in front of me. My eye went up and I remember what came out of my mouth. I didn't say, 'Who is that?' I went, 'What is that?' As I was trying to get that's attention across the room, I went in my head, 'This is not the kind of woman you call over across the room, McConaughey. Get your ass out of your chair and go get her.' Which I did." — Camila Alves and Matthew McConaughey wed back in June 2012, and throughout their time together, they've given us plenty of adorable moments to swoon over.
