Re: Ideas : How would/did you propose to your significant other? [Re: Amanita86] * 2

Our wedding was six people, me, my wife, my mother and three of our best friends. We got married on a beach in tobago by an ex-convict christian priest with prison tattoos, and the waves were too loud to hear what anyone was saying. The sun came out on a rainy day for exactly 2 hours, when we had scheduled to be married. I was starting to panic about the weather and then the sun came out over the beach just in time and stayed nice for the whole thing, then we went out and ate lobster and steak and drank.

It was wonderful in retrospect, and cheap. We stayed at an all inclusive resort.

My sister spent 10k for a huge classic wedding in a fancy hotel with numerous guests and the big cake and dress and the whole 9.

By brother's marriage (which was small) already fell apart and he and his wife are no longer together.

My wifes sister had a traditional hindi wedding which is even more extravagant then the western version with gold, an elephant, countless guests, good, etc. It cost a fortune paid by a wealthy grandfather.

They were given a house as a wedding gift.

The wedding lasted less then one year.

The majority of marriages either end in divorce or are unhappy.

About 50% end in divorce and of the remaining 50% at least half are relatively to severely unhappy in the marriage and infidelity occurs in about 30% at least.

The picture of marriage is relatively grim and the odds are relatively bad. The costs and risks can be severe, and marriage will not create love where it doesn't exist nor sustain it if it will otherwise end.

Love matters, not marriage.

I say this as a very happily married man.

That's what I'm saying.. not to get too sappy but if I ever get married it won't be in the bahamas..  that rain cutting out you're talking about, and getting that crisp clear sun, or the post rain smell and feel, shit you can't script that.  That's a sign right there.  I'd do it in the rain, Im not one of those people who runs from the grocery store to the car when its raining... if anything I walk slower.

That ex con convert with the tats is the cherry on top..  fuck a hotel wedding, I'm not getting married inside some building..  I forsee any wedding Im apart of being about as precisely scripted as being on the beach, maybe three days... todays when we show, this day we get married, this day we all head back to work.. come and go as you please.. and take some pictures to trade around for later...

of course I would have it strategically planned that on the day we schedule for everyone to go their separate ways me and the missus would have 2 or so days after that to hang out by ourselves, but that just goes with the territory..

Moonshoe said: an elephant



lol, I missed that the first go round.  Where do you find an elephant at??

See, we couldn't have that around here because that conversation would go from "where'd the elephant come from?" to.. "elephants like beer?" in a heartbeat..

Either that or someone would blow a few shot guns up his trunk and start trying to ride him through the surf..

Actually.. put that on the list. 

Kegs,
Food,
...elephant. :awesketch:

Give her a ring in a box and put an Orange Tesla under the ring and roll with her right after proposing.

I'd probably set up a picnic lunch for us on the beach or something and ask the question then.

:laugh:
