Thanks everybody. I'm busy at work but I need a five minute break so I'll give some deets.

Sunday was her birthday and we have a new tradition of going out to Montauk, NY, which is at the far end of Long Island for it. On our very first date something told me to take a keepsake so I took a matchbook from the bar we met at. I put the ring in that matchbook and gave it to her at a spot we would watch the sun set. It wasn't QUITE sunset yet as the timing that day wasn't right but it was golden hour and beautiful and she cried for an hour lol.

Feels weird and normal at the same time which I think is the right thing to feel. Wedding will be in the next year or so and it's gunna be low key and not f*cking lame like so many are.

Thanks again for all the congrats. You guys, believe or not, are a big part of my life so it means a lot to tell you remaining few about something this important.

Very happy for you and your bride-to-be, Exo. Wishing you both a lifetime of wedded bliss and prosperity.

Any little Exo's planned yet?

We have pretty much decided that we're too selfish for kids but if we ever changed our minds, it'd be something to talk about. Most likely no.

Family only ceremony. The party will be down the road from that, months probably, where we rent out a house and cater it with some music. No traditional wedding things. No bridesmaids, groomsmen, first dances...all that rubbish. Also, since we'll be married already, people will feel more relaxed and inclined to have a good time without worrying about bothering us or inserting themselves into a "planned" day. F*ck all that sh*t.

I was talking about the honeymoon.

that sounds so lovely! Exo keeping romance alive, the right way <3

You got a good plan there Exo. Never really thought it was practical to invite tons of people to the ceremony and then roll the party carpet out immediately afterwards - shit can get outta hand (and out of pocket) really fast.
