Post by: purelife on Dec 19 06 08:52
I am so happy!  Everything just feels so natural, so right.  It's so exciting and no words could describe how I feel.

Any wedding date set?
Title: Re: He finally proposed!
Post by: purelife on Dec 19 06 09:18
Not yet kitten.  I won't be setting any date untl I have at least 5 grand saved up.  At the moment, we're not even close to it.  I'm going to try to keep this wedding as cheap and simple as possible.

  ADD:  I was more interested in wearing my ring....hee hee...

A smart plan, purelife.  It's a good idea to go for a simple wedding and keep your savings for the "happily-ever-after".  Later on when you hit the lottery jackpot you can do something elaborate to celebrate if you want to.

    *Rings are always nice, though*

CONGRATS PURELIFE!!!!

  I agree keep the wedding simple, you have more important things to spend your money on. Alot of my friends are having simple weddings, eloping to places like vegas or mexico, so YOU have to pay to go to it, otherwise you get a CD in the mail of it.

Methinks kingy would probably want some idea on how to approach his sweetheart next time.

  Which brings me to another point, are you taking notes Russ??

You know that you have a 50% chance of winding up in divorce? Why bother? Good now, but wait a couple of years and he gets bored and cheats on you. Also, sounds like in his line of work, you'll be the one paying the bills when he is unemployed which is going to be a lot when the bubble bursts. Run away.

Take no notice of the above, purelife. Enjoy it!!!!

Ah yes.  Don't worry.  I've checked out that [A href="http://www.nomarriage.com"]www.nomarriage.com[/A] website.  Thanks for your concerns though.

  You are betraying your gender and perpetuating an out-moded hetrosexist institution.

Umm, okay.  Thanks again though.  

  ADD:  out-moded hetrosexist institution.  I like that phrase.  Mind if I steal for future use?

    Hey, it doesn't always go wrong.  Like I stated in my previous post, I've been married to the same wonderful hunka man for almost 24 years.  It's better now than it's ever been.  It can work purelife, don't listen to the nay-sayers.

Um, you might think it outmoded. But the majority of the modern world still does it...

  I think she's doing what she wants. Which is all that matters cause its her life and opinion right?

  So.. then it comes down to a big thanks for your warning and offer of advice, as that is the correct thing to do. But to follow it up with more blather after she has thanked you for your offer of advice, is then you trying to IMPOSE your beliefs on her.
