So, it is official...I am engaged...Follow

#1 Jun 21 2007 at 5:47 PM Rating: Default
Well, he asked my parents (finally) this week. He "unofficially" proposed on Cinquo De Drinko (May 4-5). No date for the wedding nor a ring (unless the one I bought off of eBay years ago for myself counts). I'm thinking of a very, very, long engagement since:

A. I need a job.
B. Need to pay off credit cards and a decent chunck of our student loans.
C. Need at least 1 year to get married in the Catholic Church (yes, both Catholic but really, really bad ones).
D. I can use a new car...the 94 T-bird is not gonna hold up till then.

So, are there any suggestions from the fellow asylumites on how to keep up a good engagement so we are not sick of each other by the time we actually get hitched??

Thanks all.

Later,

-Danielle

You should probably let him periodically bang a chick who isn't retarded. By periodically I mean bi-weekly at least. Also, try to spend as little time as possible with him, you annoy us over the interwebs, I can't imagine what it would be like being face to face with your babbling ***.

Serious advice on the question proposed. IF you really want it to work, make it work. Be honest about problems you are having with each other, talk about them calmly, and make time for fun. Fighting is not the end of the world, but if it is nothing to yell over then don't elevate it. Talk about things early before they start to build up. If you are getting bored then maybe take some time off from each other and hang with friends, don't let it become a chore. When you feel lonely again make sure to go and do something fun, beach, movie, six flags, doesn't matter.

I also have absolutely no credentials when it comes to relationships so take out of that what you want.

And finally, proposing without a date or a ring is an empty commitment. Though it is not like you can actually take it back now anyways. When you are actually ready to get married, that is when you set a date, that is when a proposal should happen.

I am also not married.

If you're sick of each other by the time you're about to get married, you weren't meant to be married.

No.

You're short and fat. Blond, which normally would be a plus, just looks horrible on you. Your face looks like someone smashed Rachel Ray in the face with a shovel and then taped a pork chop under her chin. You may be a lovely witty person with a fantastic personality, but only if you're intentionally posting here to imitate a shallow banal emotionally crippled shut in who through some miracle found a small circle of similarly afflicted friends, one of whom was convinced enough that he had absolutely no chance of getting laid with another woman ever that he offered to marry you.

Congratulations, though.

Straight. **** off and let me post. It's not true, it's all in good fun. Now go away.

I say don't worry about it, because engagements this shoddy never last. Waste of energy. Go bake something instead.
