Yeah, it happened this past weekend. It had felt like it was time for a change for a while now, and so after dinner last Sunday I had a talk with Honesty. I told her things were changing and that we just shouldn’t be boyfriend/girlfriend anymore. I told her that I was thinking of a change in our relationship. Then I pulled the little box out of my pocket and showed her the ring and asked her to marry me.
She said yes.
So I don’t have a girlfriend anymore, I have a fiance now. We don’t have a date set yet, and we’ll probably run off and get married somewhere in a small, quiet ceremony. (She’s been married once already and I tired quickly of the marriage planning process the last time I was engaged.)
I’m not married yet! But now that your mention it, I guess I will be after we actually get married.
Thanks struuter. We’re gonna wait until this cancer thing gets cleared up first and she has time to recover before we start making plans. (I don’t live anywhere near the hospital and doctor she’s seeing)
a small, quiet ceremony WITHOUT THE JACKET? That would seem to be a flagrant waste of resources. A man with a jacket like… well, sure, the ceremony can be small, but the reception should be enormous!
Congratulations Crunchy. Being married is great, in my opinion. I spent years hearing the “old ball and chain” jokes, but I wouldn’t change being married for the world.
The only draw back to being engaged is that the word “fiance” is a little more of a mouthful than “girlfriend” when you introduce her to someone.
Whoa whoa whoa!!! Who said anything about mot having that jacket? There have been exactly 5 occasions in my life when I’ve had an opportunity to wear that jacket in public (prom, my sister’s wedding, my cousin’s first wedding, and 2 charity dinners) I was only allowed to wear it twice (my sister’s wedding reception - after the professional photographer left - and one of the dinners) You think I’m gonna pass up an opportunity to wear it again? Besides, a quick marriage in Vegas at the the Temple of Elvis screams for that jacket to be worn.
