But seriously, gratznstuff. When are you getting married?
You're not kidding. Literally the day I met her, I was telling my best friend as I was leaving LA to come back to Seattle that it would never happen; I'd be his son's weird single uncle ("dad, why isn't Uncle Theo married?" "Well son, he's kind of an *******...").
It's kind of up in the air. We're both not even settled into out careers and I'm basically living at her place (she has a sick apartment in Redmond, which is only like a 10 minute drive to where I work), so probably next summer or the summer after.

True. We're going to get married locally (Seattle-ish) unless one of us randomly wins the lottery.
Check out Vancouver Island, Victoria-ish. There were some good deals there that we couldn't find in Seattle. Lots of flower gardens and stuff, I hear girls like that kind of thing. Clipper was a fun ride.

She actually likes me, as weird as that sounds.
Put a ring on it; fast.

Yeah, we're not
too worried about it, because her family is loaded and mine is fairly well off as well. Her parents are so ecstatic that she "finally" found a guy she wants to spend her life with that they're pulling out all the stops; same with my parents.
Guess that's what happens when you propose when you're 29.
And to your "put a ring on it": I have since two months into dating her. Got her a nice CZ as a joke and because she hates when guys hit on her (she's a ridiculously cute blonde; 5'2" on a good day with grey/blue eyes), and she didn't take it off until I proposed.

Wait, Theo's getting married. Well congratulations Theo!
That reminds me of a joke. A blonde is out hiking when she comes to a river and sees another blonde on the other side jumping up and down waving her arms. The first blonde yells, "What's wrong?" and the second blonde yells back, "how do I get to the other side?" The first blonde shakes her head and rolls her eyes, and then yells, "You're already on the other side!"
So, is your fiance a blonde Theo?
See what I typed above. Goddammit.
