Finally Proposed

mahtofire14 · 08-05-2013, 03:14 PM

I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years on Saturday on a lake in northern MN. Pretty exciting. Now I have a feeling I'm going to need some advice, serious or comical!

Congrats, Pete!

Just remember to enjoy every moment of your wedding day! I mean, how many times in ones lifetime does he get married? Two, maybe three at the most!?

Zane · 08-05-2013, 03:17 PM

Congrats!

kelmac07 · 08-05-2013, 03:18 PM

Awesome! Which lake?

I've heard of marriage defined as "betting half your sh*t you will love each other for the rest of your lives."

Read that the other day somewhere on the interwebz, and got a chuckle out of it.

You know that quote is staring at me in the face right now! I'm not too worried about losing my half though!

We were up at Horseshoe Bay Resort on Leech Lake. Really nice. Been up there quite a bit the last few years.

Treat her like you would want your (future) daughter treated by her husband.

Congrats!!!

Your idea works well too.

My pastor described marriage in terms of 3 rings. Engagement ring, wedding ring and finally....the suffering. Joke of course. Celebrating 25 years this year and wouldn't want it any other way.

Congratulations.

pnoon · 08-05-2013, 05:34 PM

Congrats, Pete.
Best wishes for a long and prosperous marriage.

You want advise? How about buy all the cigars you can get your hands on while you can.

All joke aside congratulations to the two of you.

Come on Tom be serious, we all know the first time is the most special!

Congrats I hope you have many years of happiness together, just remember Pete, never argue because you won't win, even if you win the argument...you won't win. Yes Dear are the two most important words to remember...no matter what.

So why did you finally pop the question you get tired of having sex?

I figure half of nothing is still nothing so go for it!!

They say the price you pay for the engagement ring is the smallest possible down payment on the longest possible installment plan.

Lord knows I've paid it twice so far.

But the second one was the charm. I'm keeping her.

Good luck and best wishes.
