It was something more that she couldn\u2019t quite describe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Gosh\u2026 It wouldn&#8217;t even be giddy. What is the right term? I could not stand when a girl says, \u2018Oh, my god, I knew he was the one because\u2026\u2019 What is that feeling like?

However, she remembers the words she told her pals immediately after they met.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI don&#8217;t know the term for it, but as soon as I met Jonathan, I remember coming home and telling my friends because they were at my house getting ready with me for that little date,\u201d she shares. \u201cI came back and I was like, \u2018Oh, I think I&#8217;m going to marry him.&#8217; \u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The feeling was new for Biles, who had only dated one person prior to tying the knot with Owens. The feeling made her question her instinct, but in hindsight, she recognizes that it was a sign she had met her forever love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Why did I say that? I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t know why I said that,\u201d she laughs. \u201cIt was just a random weird feeling that I&#8217;ve never felt before, and then it just happened.
