joking about getting married?

[Dorothy Wood]

so, my boyfriend last night was talking about vacations and travel and said something about going to Asia for our honeymoon. and I was like, "wait, what? we're getting married?" and he was like, "yeah, not right now, but we should probably get married." and I was like, "okaaay", and he said, "ha! you said 'okay', that means 'yes'! but not right now, not yet, we have to wait a little while."

:eek:

[Rock]

I already went down that rabbit hole once, and I got news for you… there’s no cheese at the end of that tunnel buddy.


But yeah...cool if thats what you want, and dayum gurl if thats not what you want.

[Guy Incognito]

my proposal was pretty low key and off the cuff. I did end up on one knee but only cos i tripped over the rug in our front room.
we'd been to a wedding at the weekend and it was a posh do, and we were talking about how expensive it all was and not really our scene and i suggested just doing it at our house with a few friends really quickly and she seemed interested .I just said "do you want to get married, we could do it at the end of next month" ,tripped up on the rug and she said yes. all done in 5 weeks, cost less than a grand. I often worried it wasnt romantic or lavish enough but she had been married before and didnt want a load of hassle, organising or expense or inviting and paying for loads of heads who didnt know or like that much.

[Adam]

Sounds like he was just testing the water.

I've talked about marriage before as more of a find out where she is thinking this relationship is atm, rather than an asking.

In six months he'll ask you to marry him if you're still together

[Echewta]

sounds perfectly normal.

[yeahwho]

gazing into my crystal ball i see an aisle, rows of seating, a judge and flowers, wait...hold it... those aren't flowers they are crinkled up warrants in a court room full of speeding violators.

i'm not joking, your boyfriend will be a big hurry to do something fairly soon

[b i o n i c]

probably a proposal coming down the line for miss wood. dude's probably thinking to start saving for a ring :eek:

so, like, do you want to get married at some point?

[Dorothy Wood]

yeah, I wanna marry that dude, but I don't want to have a wedding. also, I think we should date for at least a year before actually considering it.

[b i o n i c]

thats cool of you.. does he know you dont want a traditional wedding? you might get a bigger rock if he did! if you care for such things

setting a date before considering it is kind of confusing.. dont peoples kind of consider these things as you go along?

[hpdrifter]

Sounds like it's too late to wait for considering. ;)

Despite my present circumstances I still believe in love and maybe in marriage. For other people.

I'm very happy for you, sounds like one of those conversations that'll make you smile and get all giggly when you think back on it.

[cosmo105]

the first time my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me was about 3 months in. i kinda crapped myself, but it was crap of all kinds of happy emotions.

[Bob]

love sounds kind of gross, i'm glad i've avoided it

[yeahwho]

You know it's true love when you fight back the vomit when you say it.

[RobMoney$]

Ahh, young love.
They say you never forget your first marriage.

[lolkat]

love sounds kind of gross, i'm glad i've avoided it

(y)

[Lex Diamonds]

They say you're never truly complete until you marry.... then you're finished.

[Dorothy Wood]

I'm not sure if he knows I don't want a traditional wedding. I'm guessing he wouldn't want one either. and I don't want an expensive ring. I want a cheap antique ring that looks fancy.

He knows I'm practical.

as for considering...I guess I mean seriously considering. because right now, it's all puppies and sunshine, but we've only been dating 6 months. I've known him for 3 years, he's a good and kind man, and I love him very much...but I need to experience all the seasons with him and be really certain that he's the one for me.

[kll]

I already went down that rabbit hole once, and I got news for you… there’s no cheese at the end of that tunnel buddy.


But yeah...cool if thats what you want, and dayum gurl if thats not what you want.

you're divorced now?

[Rock]

yep.

[b i o n i c]

yeah, a year sounds ok.. you are considering this kind of stuff along the way though. if dude did or acted in a way that you knew you couldnt live with forever, you'd probably do something about it. meh, it will all woik itself out

[mickill]

My wife always gives me a hard time about how I proposed, since I didn't really say much leading up to the "asking" part. I'm like bitch I rented a speedboat for that shit!

[Ty Webb]

i was at karaoke last night and the karaoke dj guy was telling me that he has a gig at a bowling alley where a guy is supposed to propose during a song. i was like, well now i have to go and propose to a stranger before he can!

[hpdrifter]

How romantic.

[DandyFop]

I was watching the Comedians of Comedy documentary last night and Patton Oswalt was telling a story about how he was doing a standup show and this guy insisted that he be able to propose to his girlfriend before the show.

So Patton gets up on stage and is hoping to at least tell a joke or two but the guy is in the front row wigging out and so the guy goes for it, proposes. Immediately the girl has her head in her hands. And she just says "You know the answer is no."

And then patton had to do his set.

lolz.

[Adam]

I do love it when you see a public proposal and the answer is no. I'm sure you could do a whole stand-up gig on that though

[HEIRESS]

YAY! But waiting a year doesn't sound like a bad idea.

I got engaged in Quebec City, in front of the Le Chateau Frontenac (fancy castle looking thing in the background (http://www.hollandamerica.com/assets//cruise-vacation-planning/img_hotel_FA_Frontenac.jpg)) at night, so the city (http://blog.l-one.jp/sakae/Quebec%20City%20by%20Night.jpg) was all pretty and lit up below us.

It was quite lovely except it was wintertime and probably -20 at the time therefore I didn't get to gaze stupidly at my ring afterwards because I had to put my mittens back on right away!

I don't even care if I ever have a wedding. I wish I could just stay engaged forever and avoid ever having to think about or plan (even a tiny) wedding.

The future italian in-laws are off the boat types who would probably kill us if we decided to elope.

[mickill]

I've only ever been to two Italian weddings, both were for my wife's cousins (they're sisters....they didn't marry each other...they married husbands - anyhow...), but the combined total spent for both of them was close to $200,000. But apparently, they made money on these weddings, being that the gifts were mainly monetary (and excessive).

if i've learned anything from goodfellas then those were probably mob weddings

[b i o n i c]

my parents were planning on keeping it simple when my dirtbag uncle who married into a 100% napolitan family told my dad about this, so they went along with what he planned and made a profit. doze itralians i tell ya. i spent many a day in my childhood running around in an unbuttoned sweaty little suit at those italian weddings like in goodfellas, with the money bag and eithing

Well, now that you mention it, there was this one older gentleman that everyone kept acknowledging, more so than the other geriatric guests. People would exchange pleasantries with him, kiss his ring, and walk away backwards as they left him. Seemed innocent enough.

But what struck me as sort of odd was how he was able to get a second helping of the lobster tail no probs. Mob connections perhaps?

[yeahwho]

People were kissing your ring?

[mickill]

People were kissing your ring?

Did you happen to receive a fish wrapped in newspaper at some point between yesterday evening and this morning? I shipped it via UPS on Tuesday, but I didn't want to pay extra for the overnight delivery, so I didn't get a tracking number. And earlier I was on hold with their customer service for like 45 min. And when they finally did answer the lady was very rude to me.

Don't ever use UPS, srsly.

[yeahwho]

I just wanted to apologize here in the general discussion section about that "quote thang" in the "other music' section.

I will keep looking for a package on my porch sir

[mickill]

I accept your apology. Only don't tell me that you're innocent. Because it insults my intelligence and it makes me very angry.

ooh la la, quebec!

I don't think I've ever been to an Italian wedding...only an Italian baby shower, that was almost like a wedding. Well, wait, I guess my uncle is sort of Italian. He's half French Canadian, half Italian. My aunt converted to Catholicism and they had a big ol' full mass with their ceremony. It was extremely boring! The reception was pretty fun though...it was in the same Italian restaurant/banquet hall as the baby shower I went to. which is the same place my mom, her sister and all her brothers worked as teenagers in the 70's. my grandma worked there too actually. geez. http://www.corsisbanquethalls.com/


a wedding seems like a huge headache. my mom would probably shit her pants if I didn't have one, but whatever. although I do like the idea of getting presents and money.


anyway, yeah, I'm not engaged. but it's nice to know my dude is interested or at least thinking about a future together. :p

[yeahwho]

Don mickill, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your postings on the "joking about getting married" thread. And may their first child be a masculine child.
