And another five months until the first appointment with the divorce attorney.

Most of the people telling single people not to get married are divoreced people worried about losing a drinking buddy.

If you don't think the ring will change anything then it won't. For you, at least. Marriage is what you make it. I don't think marriage turns people into demons as much as it allows demons to stop pretending that they weren't demons all along.

I know it sounds corny, but if you're with the right person, you "just know". Anyone agree with me? It doesn't matter if it's hours, days, weeks, years..........

In school I dated lightly, how ever I was in the company of many ladies. I had several friends with benifits and a few girls I was serious about. My Senior year I asked one of them out and she said yes. Fourteen months later, after she moved out of state and her mother kept at her morning and night with the most amazing BS We broke up. I dated more girls and bedded a couple more. I told anybody that had an interest that there was only one person I was ever interested in being married to and she was unavailable. I meant it. I dated a young lady(term used loosely) for about two years in the mean time. If marriage was brought up(especially by her) I had a printed copy of the speech about the one girl I actually loved that much. She would get a fresh copy.
There was a little bit going on in the men time but suffice it to say after eight years the girl of my dreams finally called one afternoon to ask if I meant it when I would tell her I loved her. I said yes. Next May will be seven years.
It does matter who. It especially matters to make sure they are right for you. I always tell people that I met a girl as sick and twisted as I am and married her. I think the biggest thing I advise friends is to make sure under the burning flames of lust and passion there is a soild brick fireplace of relationship. Will you still enjoy the warmth once the flames die down? BTW Congradulations.

I used to think that. :headshake

Me too. Used to.

I agree. Well put

Resurrecting an old thread because I'll be finding out, soon. No date, yet, but I asked the big question, yesterday, and got the answer I had been hoping for.

I'm in deep trouble, now. :D

Congratulations!

Congratulations Mr. Fox (and the future Mrs. Fox!)

Many happy wishes!

There are many things that shouldn't be unearthed. Threads on positive developments in relationsips are not on that list!

Congratulations - really pleased to hear that despite all the advice you got here, you made it anyway :)

Wow...that's great news! :) If you actually make it to the wedding without murdering each other you've won half the battle. ;)

Keep us posted on the progress.

right on!

Yes, yes, you are. Get used to it.

Congratulations to both of you. Your first marriage, yes? Starter wife? Don't mess it up.

Congratulations :D
