Inspired by being a thread highjacker- the OT thread!

DOes anyone else have a dog that throws temper tantrums? Mine is having one right now.

She is literally making all kinds of growly/whiny noises because I am on the DIS and not playing with her. Too funny.

Just tell you dog that its your time right now on the DIS and that they will just have to wait their turn.

I have Jury Duty at 8:00 am, you think if I drink a few beers now I can show up hungover and they'll send me home, and I can stay home from work too because I'll get a letter I was there (jury duty) just for showing up?

I'm looking for a plan, anyone got one better than that?

 

[Sylvester McBean]

Now that I had mine, I am sooooo over them. In fact, I was over them before mine was over.

I guess it's just the one day that is all about YOU, and your groom, (sort of), and you get to look gorgeous (I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day), and it's a celebration of love, and a big fun party to boot.

But, I felt like- I'm only doing this once, I want to do it up and do it right.

this is what I don't understand about weddings. (and I'm married). I'll use you two as an example....

becky and mark are getting married. your relationship that you've had for awhile isn't going to change at all, you're just inviting attorneys into the union. everything will stay the exact same, exept now there's an emotional clause in the relationship. I love you...that's an emotion that's subject to change. I love pancakes, it doesn't mean anything. but if I stop loving you, you can take everything including the kids and make me pay to keep you afloat. if I love a woman enough to spend the rest of my life with her, the church laws and attorneys shouldn't have a place in the relationship.

Mine does that whenever I pay attention to the cat!

She is mad at me! I am petting her in between posts... Poor baby. Gets no love...

The only thing I got out of this was my thought that I love pancakes too.

it was a ramble. essentially, I don't think marriage should be a legal contract between two people.

I agree completely. (I am married)
I don't get what the big deal is either. We just eloped because all that wedding planning sounded like a big pain in the butt.

I knew what you meant. But the only thing that "I" personally cared about was the pancakes.

We didn't have attorneys. And there was always the emotional clause- the was the REASON to get married. That part didn't change. It could, in theory. It had better not, but it technically could.

I agree that the church laws (at least for me) didn't have much to do with it- I'm not even baptised, but I got married in a Catholic church because it was important to dh's family- and we found a really cool priest, without whom that Catholic wedding NEVER would have taken place.

The law does need to be invoked because when you meld two lives together things get complicated and you have to protect one another, and your assets.

Furthermore, I didn't get into this marriage, thinking well, what if I stop loving Mark. If I did, I would not have gotten married, we would have just stayed living in sin, like we did for 4 years before the wedding. So, you're right, attorneys have no place in a marriage thats going to LAST.

Sometimes that just doesn't happen though. And if Mark fell out of love with me (as if- I am WAY too cool), I would be broken hearted, but I wouldn't take him to the cleaners. I know some women do, but it's not my style.

 

[Briarmom]

Oh, and I don't like pancakes.

 

[Stacerita]

Oh, and I don't like pancakes.

What are you crazy???

 

[MouseWorshipin]

Please go to my post on the community board and welcome Brother Sylvester into the flock!

 

[Briarmom]

What are you crazy???

Yes.

Well, I don't hate them like I used to. I will eat my Great-Grandmothers buttermilk recipe.

 

[Stacerita]

Yes.

Well, I don't hate them like I used to. I will eat my Great-Grandmothers buttermilk recipe.

Ok, you aren't crazy....just picky.

 

[Aidensmom]

I don't need a piece of paper to define my relationship with my husband (and first marriage was just JOP and second was at church, but never had any attorneys involved).

I think the "legal" contract of marriage is a good thing when it comes to things like when one dies, who is responsible for that person's stuff, etc. I also think it makes people work harder to make something work when there are a few small problems when they are married rather than just dating, and that is not necessarily bad.

Anyways, isn't this supposed to be an OT thread?

 

[Briarmom]

Ok, you aren't crazy....just picky.

Yes. I think I may be picky.
Is anyone else picky?
How do you know if you are picky?

Discuss.

I am not picky. I will try almost anything once.

My husband is waaayyy picky, but better than when we met.

My SIL is the pickiest person I know. She doesn't eat any fruits or veggies AT ALL. Diet consists mostly of bread, cheese, junk food, hamburger helper (she picks out the hamburger), mac'n'cheese, grilled cheese, french fries... That's about it.

Is she 4 years old, or 5?

 

[Sylvester McBean]

we eloped as well, flew down to mexico and got married on the beach at sunset. love is simply an emotion, and emotions change throughout your life. fear is an emotion, it's like getting married to someone that you legally swear to be afraid of your whole life, that may change.

Stacerita had a good guy but broke it off, things happen.
