Assuming you gave her a ring, did she return the favor and give you an engagement Jet Ski or something?

Congrats.

I got engaged over a month ago, and, well, it seems a lot like when I wasn't engaged. Then again, we've been living together for 2 and a half years and were just waiting for me to finish school so nothing really did change.

Ah, so you're the type of people who are the cause of this phenomenon.

"When are you getting married?"
"In July"
"Of this year?"
"No, 2057, you dolts"

There's a lot of stuff to plan for a wedding, that's for sure. But, over a year and a half. Geez... Then again, we've also been going out for nearly 5 years and known each other for nearly 10 so it's a bit different of a story.SI

A song for every FOF occasion:


Let's Have a Baby
You might think that we're not ready yet
You might think that we should get a pet
You might think
But don't think
Let's have a baby


I might think my hair's a little grey
I might think I'll be too old to play
Blue or pink
Swim or sink
Let's have a baby
Ooh, baby


Sadie, Chloe, Sammy, or Maximilian
Chillin’ in a baby sack
Sadie, Chloe, Sammy, or Maximilian
Chillin’ with a baby


They might say we just don't have the space
They might say New York is not the place
You don't say
But I say
Let's have a baby
Ooh, baby

(chorus)

Sadie, Chloe, Sammy, or Max
Chillin’ in a baby sack
Tristan, Evan, Lily, Zoey, or Jack
Chillin’ in a baby sack...




Another One Bites the Dust

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I’m going to get along,
Without you, when you’re gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he’s down
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat



He's My Best Friend

i've known him all my life
it seems so inconceviable
at thirteen we shooks hands but we've
been always inseparable
he's cinnamon on my toast we're so
close

that's not to say we haven't had our
share of arguments
he's so unpredictable he winks
acknowledgments
when i would rather he closed his eye
than push me aside

my hand's a five leaf clover
it's palm sunday over and over
i never had the luck of swingers
till i was wrapped around your finger

he's my best friend
he's my best friend
he's my best friend
i'm his best friend
he's my best friend

you don't need a brain to have a
stroke of genius
or a beautiful girl to let down
your curls
cause growing up is hard enough
when your a powderkeg for
powderpuffs
(whether we're stayin' in or hanging out)
i'd never ask another on a date to
the ball
he doesn't need a rubber sweater or
alcohol
cause he gets tipsy from exchanging looks
and a little misty reading sticky
blue dirty books

but he's my best friend
he's my best friend
i'm his best friend
he's my best friend

my hand's a five leaf clover
it's palm sunday over and over
i never had the luck of swingers
till i was wrapped around your finger

he's my best friend
(we could hold hands for hours)
he's my best friend
(in the bedroom or shower)
he's my best friend
(i pick him up when he's feelin down)
he's my best friend
(i guess he's always been hangin around)
he's my best friend
(he gets lonely now and then)
he's my best friend
(and he gets shy around another men)
I'm his best friend
(it seems i've reached the end of my best friend)

If she had gotten me a full-sized ipod i would have had a huge HD. She got it for me last month, so I thought I'd surprise her.

However, did anyone else's girl say "You're lying" when you asked them to marry you? My girl said it, and when my sister got engaged, she said it to her husband... just odd.

huh? I don't understand, what type of people? I got engaged, and its a Interfaith marriage (Jewish/Catholic), and it takes a tad bit longer to plan and iron out the issues of two different religions as to not offend any family. Also, we had a very select few days to choose from, and the earliest we could get was in July of this year since everything was already booked a year or so in advance. Also, when we got engaged, we didn't start planning right away. She moved down to me from NYC, and we had focused in on getting her settled first in a new area.

My wife and I decided to get married fairly early on in our relationship, but waited a few years before we got engaged, and then another 1-2 years for the wedding, until we were both completely through with school.

Congratulations! Just don't get her to post here too using your computer...

"You're lying"? That's an interesting reaction. I just kinda stood there thinking "I'm supposed to be crying or something, right?" But we knew we were going to get married so it was kind of a formality.

Jerry: Really?

Kramer: Yeah, and you can forget about watching TV while you're eating.

Jerry: I can?

Kramer: Oh, yeah. You know why? Because it's dinner time. And you know what you do at dinner?

Jerry: What?
