He might be trying to convince you out of your beliefs. Make it clear that’s not gonna happen

I have a question for married guys: how far in advance did you tell your in laws you planned on marrying their daughter?

2018-12-03 20:10:21 UTC  

I actually didn’t tell the in-laws, they only found out after my wife told them I proposed

2018-12-03 20:10:52 UTC  

But in my situation I haven’t exactly been close to them until very recently

2018-12-04 00:57:12 UTC  

@TV I told them the second time I met them.

2018-12-04 00:58:15 UTC  

More precisely I asked the father's permission to propose the second time I met them. Then I proposed to her the third time I met them.

2018-12-04 18:58:19 UTC  

My hubby proposed to me,then asked my dad's permission. That was probably after a handful or so times he met my parents i guess.

What do you girls think about engagement/wedding rings? I'm personally against the whole gem system and would prefer our rings to be identical plain gold bands with a bible verse and our wedding date engraved on the inside.

2018-12-08 04:13:34 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD Rings are quintessentially European (roots in Christianity and Pagan cultures). Only you can know your gal and whether she'll be affected by the inevitable absurd shade she will get from more materialistic women.

2018-12-08 04:14:41 UTC  

Some people go for sapphires or emeralds to avoid the mercantile problems of diamonds (even lefties hate diamonds)

2018-12-08 04:56:15 UTC  

Engagement rings perhaps even more than wedding bands have a strong reason to follow tradition and expectation of getting something everyone will know is an engagement ring, like a diamond set on a gold band, because engagements aren't recognized in any official capacity by any big institution (as opposed to marriage which indeed carries lots of special status besides the ring).

2018-12-08 06:09:32 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD That sounds quaint, I think you have a good compromise figured out. I'm not familiar with diamond pricing schemes for jewelry, but that what, few extra hundred dollars(?) could be put to much better use, such as paying for your room during the honeymoon.

Chris makes a good point on the distinguishing factor, but then again is she in an environment to be showing off or for it to matter? In other words, if she's isolated most of the time, it's less worth it for someone who's working or engaged in a lot of community.

Tl;Dr you're doing nothing wrong really

So my girlfriend told her father today that I have a dog and apparently he isn't a dog person.

2018-12-14 00:27:37 UTC  

He's that much anti-dog that he would care, even if it's not in his home?

2018-12-14 00:34:34 UTC  

It was actually a pretty funny conversation. Apparently he is appalled that I let my dog in the house. I then asked about the time her brother kept a pet lamb in their house and she said that's different.

2018-12-14 00:35:41 UTC  

lol

2018-12-14 00:36:05 UTC  

Are they foreign?

2018-12-14 00:36:34 UTC  

Australian.

2018-12-14 00:36:55 UTC  

Ah. That explains it. Fear of the dingo

2018-12-14 00:38:37 UTC  

I'm going over there pretty soon. I'm not going to be bringing my dog though.

2018-12-14 00:39:20 UTC  

That's pretty epic, crossing the world for the right woman. Best of luck!

2018-12-14 00:40:33 UTC  

Thanks.

2018-12-15 00:15:57 UTC  

Bring the dog anyway. That’s a power move.

2018-12-15 01:38:49 UTC  

I usually announce my plans to marry before the hand-holding phase

2018-12-15 01:56:13 UTC  

holding hands before marriage is super degenerate

2018-12-15 02:02:34 UTC  

@Rogue "usually"? how often are you getting married?

2018-12-15 20:24:15 UTC  

@Rogue I literally did that with my current GF, but to be fair her father did send her and her sister to America to find husbands.

2018-12-16 14:19:26 UTC  

@Rogue My dating profile lists my terms for marriage and my intended dowry

2018-12-16 14:41:26 UTC  

@John O - power move

2018-12-16 14:43:24 UTC  

A good waifu will be worth at least two medium income provinces, maybe more if accompanied by ladies in waiting.

2018-12-17 16:27:08 UTC  

If you want some good stuff for your dating profile look up some of the personal ads from the late 1700s. Lots of good stuff in there.

2018-12-17 18:29:50 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD sounds interesting! Got a link?

2018-12-18 23:26:41 UTC  

Sorry @ThisIsChris I didn't see that notification until just now and I don't have the link I was looking at anymore.

2018-12-18 23:27:51 UTC  

I'm about to leave for Australia to see my girlfriend and her family. Wish me luck guys.

2018-12-18 23:29:14 UTC  

Good luck holmes

2018-12-19 04:40:48 UTC  

Good luck and don’t fall off the earth

2018-12-19 04:54:33 UTC  

I just got to LA from here I'm going down under. I'm not a fan of long flights. I always have trouble sleeping on the plane. Hopefully when we do the barrell roll at the equator it won't wake me up.

Goodluck! Safe Travels!

2018-12-19 21:34:25 UTC  

I made it to Brisbane. I'm going to Adelaide so I have another short flight before I see my sheila!

2018-12-24 04:37:34 UTC  

Australian picnic.
