What was I thinking

I asked my girl friend to merry me at the hockey game the other night on the jumbo tron in front of 20,000 people.

Cool choice of proposal venues.

Enjoy the engagement. While you still have some spare time.....

May I recommend a reading of the very informative book titled "The Predatory Female". It will assist you with the issue of emotions clouding judgement; a little truth can help anyone.

The Predatory Female by Rev. Lawrence Shannon

Enjoy,

Rich

I'll have to read it. Thanks.
 
She is working full time, going for her PHD, and I'm leaving the plans to her. It should make time for me to shop for another TA. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Having gone through the engagement then the wedding part a couple times now I've come to a rather simple analogy of what your role,the man(small case), really is...

You are to the entire process... the place kicker in a football game. Your job isn't to call the plays,run with the ball, catch the ball, do any interviews ro claim any kind of credit whatsoever.

Those rolls are taken by the bride, her close friend and her mother.

Your job is to look good and stand on the side lines...come out when called, do your little part and then go back to the bench.:whistle:

Perfect analogy.

May I offer..... that after the reception, from that moment forward, you will pay to be a player (place kicker) on the team.

Yes, so true...and then the kids come.And then you pay more to become the "stupidest person in the house"

Somedays I wonder how I find my way out from under the covers without being told how to. :dumb::dumb::dumb::dumb::dumb:.


Kidding aside, I wouldn't have it any other way.:cheers:

Is it sad I have already figured this out? :eeks:

No, on the contrary your wedding day will be much more enjoyable for those not involved (the groom). As long as you know your place going into it then your way ahead on the learning curve.

Sure, you have to fain some interest in the "decisions" that need made but always defer to the quarterback on the final.

Hopefully,
You have picked the right one.
I went thru a divorce once, and even to this day, I realize I never should have married that one.
However, I have a keeper now, even though we are not married, having been with her for almost 15 years now.
There are many ways a man thinks he is a man.
Just be yourself, and work things out whenever they seem to be going bad.
Good luck to you, and congrats.

George,

I, like you, have a long time girlfriend, 9+ years. Great friends, still laugh, love and treat each other with kindness every day. Kind of like the relationship with your TTA every day.

biggdogtta, I remember you on another forum with John Pearcy and Frank Weeks. Do you still remain in contact with Frank Weeks? (Houston/Pasadena Texas).
