It's been over 4 years now though so I think people just know to not keep asking us about our future plans. It's all a matter of WHEN, and not IF we're going to get married.

So, if you get married, what will you serb at the wedding? I assume you'd balkan at something as boring as chicken.

A pre-congrats Chula, that's a long haul.

Jansz, I had a feeling you were. Kids?

Very cool Yorke. I'm sure you'll find a way to make it special, just please for the love of God, don't do the 'propose at a sports event' thing. I can't stand when guys propose in huge public arena's and crap like that. Do people really need that much attention? It just seems like it takes away from the sanctity of it all. It's always fun when the woman says no, though.

BD, you're definitely a keeper, I'm surprised it's taken this long.

I've never been married. Just separated from a relationship of 17 years recently. Happiest I've been in a long time.

Yeah no way jose, if I take it public it'll be someplace small around mostly people we know. Either that or I'll take her someplace scenic

I proposed over dinner in a swanky restaurant. Swanky based on our budget back then. I think it was a Bonanza Steak House.

For the reception we told everyone it was over at like 7:00. But we really had the hall for another two hours and only told our closest friends about it.

It's gonna sound corny but the night ended with the 15? of us dancing arm in arm in a circle to Stairway. Everyone blasted out of their minds except Linda cause she was prego.

Then we all headed back to our tiny 2.5 room apt. for another bit of partying before Linda and I left for a hotel room. My best man crashed in our bathtub and there were like 4-5
people passed out on our bed when we got back the next morning.

That joke is so bad that it's actually good, lol.

Like I said, it will happen. It's just a matter of when. He's been here on a visa for most of our relationship and only just got permanent resident status a few months ago. He's waiting for a PR card from the government before we move forward. Otherwise it's a little bit risky, like they'll think that he's just marrying me to get PR status or citizenship, which is marriage fraud. Like what mail order brides do, lol.

Fucking government red tape.

I've learned basic words and phrases over the years, but I'm still bad at it

Nope, but we've had the marriage conversation a few times and it's definitely in the future. Just need to sort some things out first and also get real grown up jobs, lol.

I consider myself married because I don't want to give in to the religious overtones of an actual marriage.
