Run while you still can.

Not much joking from her. We've talked about it long term after my grad program is over in a year so it was like "yeah ok we knew this was happening" so not much joking but I think her mom was all about starting to plan a wedding

I proposed last month and our wedding is in June. Best wishes if you're going down the same road. :)

 

One day at work I simply realized that I was making money not to buy concert tickets or a new amp, but to help support a family. The transition in thought was seamless, but something shifted. The thought of comfortable permanence set in and I think I've been wearing the same smile ever since. Found the perfect ring the next day.

Oh God. Another "Dear Abby" post from the captain. How the hell do you figure we know what to do?

More if a "Dear TBD" :lol: I just like filling in the board because you have gotten to know me so well over the years. The proposal is coming. Just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them

thanks for the kind words sage. We're in that path for sure and I decided a long time ago she wasn't going anywhere. Have a picture of her in my office at grad school to remind me why I'm working so hard everyday. She's a keeper to say the least

Unless you are proposing(pardon the pun) that there is some sort of special supernatural force that revolves around catching the bouquet, I would suggest you ignore it and propose marriage when both you and her are in the right place(emotionally).

Wait a minute. Some one caught something? Let her go to the Bills man.

Yep.

 

Whatever you do, never fall into the 'well, it seems like it's time because we're X age or have been together Y years, or her mother blah, blah, blah' rationale.

 

 

 

p.s. congrats Sage!

It may have been a setup Captain. Did all the other ladies step away when the bouquet was mid flight?? lol. Congrats buddy!! Been married since '95 with three kids. Enjoy.

Congrats to both Captain and Sage! To bad for your respective GF's but if they have not figured that out by now they can continue to live in their bubble of false bliss.

 

Captain the tricky thing is the ring - does she want say in what is bought? If not, surprise her and not in one of those tacky put it on a billboard or attention grabbing youtube video moments. Ask her in a personal way that will be a special memory to her and in a place that has meaning to her.

 

Good luck.

Naah....make her pass a Bills quiz first:

Sage made sure that the one big decision was properly made. The wedding will not interfere with training camp or the regular season. We'll see if Hindsight has the foresight to insist on the same.

Weddings must only be planned from late Feb to mid July. Unless they are also a football fan, then you may have a fall wedding, but the date can only be picked after the NFL schedule comes out. If children are wanted, conception must only be tried between late June to late November, to insure a birth takes place during the off season. The rest of the year, use protection.

Catching the bouquet doesn't mean she's getting married soon, it means she's next to get married.

 

So your first step should be to check out the status of the other women in the wedding. If they're all ugly, crazy, and alone you've got plenty of time.
