Yo shit fuck

[Dorothy Wood]

Probs gonna get married. Dude's all like you're the best, I want this to be a thing. So I'll say yes when he offucuslly asked. I don't know why not. Fuck.

[Helvete]

So he hasn't actually asked yet?

[ms.peachy]

What do you want? I'm assuming you're just being a bit silly and flippant in saying "why not", and that actually you really want him to ask you. If not, then, you know, really think about it. But if you do, then great :)

[Dorothy Wood]

Yeah I dunno. I'm a crazy person, it's just been a few years since someone expressed interest in marrying me.

And I'm drunk and away from home and feeling weird. Keep sneaking away to check internets because I don't know anyone.

[Dorothy Wood]

Nm

[ms.peachy]

Fair enough girl, go on then.

[abbott]

I hope he's not as fucked up as me

[Dorothy Wood]

He's not fucked up, he's even keeled.

I don't think I should drink anymore, it just makes me feel nuts lately. Not as fun as it used to be....

[MC Moot]

This is the most romantic thread in years...(y)

I give it a year.

[Dorothy Wood]

Not sure why I'm responding to a troll, but what are you basing that on? Your inexplicable desire to insult people you dont actually know?

Me and dude have been together 4 years already and have lived together 2 years. I figure we could last at least another 4 years unless something crazy happens. so far he's always got a boner for me even though he's seen me at my worst. And isn't that what love is about? Boners?

[Waus]

That's exciting! :D

[Bob]

And isn't that what love is about? Boners?

i sure hope so

also congratulations! may your boners be unceasing

Oh babe. I know you are just joking with this, but seriously if you are gonna marry this guy, be aware, sometimes there is feast and sometimes there is famine. Ideally more of the former. Just saying, don't let your relationship be defined by the boners.

[Bob]

although it's nice to know that figured a certain way i am a catch

[ToucanSpam]

I think people undervalue commitment. If you feel that way about a person, it can be a beautiful, life changing thing.

[cosmo105]

nah it's pretty much all boners

[Kid Presentable]

Congratulations on your boners, Dorothy.

Haha, it's not, I was just kidding. :P


and I'm not engaged or anything guys, I was drinking white wine for about 4 hours when I made this thread. I guess it just marks a turn for a more serious direction. Like something clicked with my boyfriend after we've attended several weddings listening to our friends' handwritten vows...he's like hey I feel that kind of love for this weirdo, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

I think we need more time, honestly. And I think he agrees. Mainly just for financial reasons. But I'm on board for heading down that road.

(sorry I've been traveling a lot, so I'm using a lot of road metaphors).

Surgeon general counsels that the practice of marriage severely increases the risk of divorce…However I support commitment and can dig outdated or antiquated related rituals…Any thoughts about what you’ll be serving for the dinner…I’d stay away from Cornish Hens everyone thinks they’re all classy but I find them awkward to eat and have been accused of “making a scene” by expressing my disdain…is there one of these medieval jousting feast places near you?...that would be memorable!

The most famous medieval jousting feast place is indeed nearby...hmmm.

Yeah but no, I'm not having a wedding even if I do get married. I'd do what my good friends did though, have a ceremony then go party at the pub and pay the tab. Expensive but much less expensive than a big event.

[MC Moot]

I like civic ceremonys held at city halls...and then the drink and the dance...mad pagan like dancing under a honey moon...

[Lyman Zerga]

our wedding did barely cost anything and people said it was one of the best weddings they have been to

we have a huge family that helped us out a lot though (in a non financial way)

My wife is facebook friends with a girl who went out and bought her own engagement ring and posted pics of it on facebook and posted that her BF proposed to her.
All without his consent or knowledge.

I saw the dude at a bar a little while ago and asked him about it. He told me he's just gonna marry her anyway because she's threatened to kill herself if he doesn't at this point.


Not sure why, but this thread reminded me of them for some reason.



Good luck with your imminent commitment.

[RobMoney$]

I also have a question.

IF he does ask you to marry him, are you planning on responding "Why Not?"

rob, if i didn't know you better i'd say that sounded passive aggressive

Heh. My answer when mr.p asked me was "well ok, if we have to."

Sounds like your wife is friends with an idiot. This thread probably reminded you of that story because they are both about engagements. They are unrelated situations, however.

I'm not planning a response.

[HEIRESS]

Hurray!

I hate weddings too, luckily I pulled mine off for only about 4 grand (for 75 people too).

[Dorothy Wood]

4 grand ain't bad. But that is still a scary number to me, heh.

I think any kind of official engagement or legal union will be pretty far off. I really really hate paperwork. I used to think I'd want a long engagement, but everyone I know who had one of those broke up. :/

That doesn't mean I can't have a fantasy engagement ring....

:cool:


And this is a silly thread and all, and very premature, but I really do love this dude and he is a kind and talented person who is very patient and supportive.

[ms.peachy]

You are allowed to ask him, you know.

[Dorothy Wood]

You are allowed to ask him, you know.

Ahhhhhh, that's true. It's tough though because in all honesty I don't know that I quite understand marriage. It seems like a psychological trick we play on ourselves. I want it sure, abstractly, but if I think of it as an objective observer of life, I know it's but a social construct. I have a physical chemistry with this person, and his childhood and adolescent photos and where he grew up and what he liked ran parallel with my likes and the kinds of kids I had crushes on...but does that mean everything or nothing? Is marriage mystical or practical? or both?

[ToucanSpam]

I'm picking up what you're putting down. The people in his story were a little off their rocker and the original post's story was just normal "do I get married" stuff. Not a big deal.
