So who knows anything about wedding rings?....aside from misery and all that..
- Thread starter 20W-50 and blood
- Start date
the hell is this conversation? i am a classy SOB...ill take the knee....even if only because im stil slippy from the night before...but i ill still take the knee!
oh, I followed every tradition. Asked permission first, arranged a special place and time, brought a classy picnic, on a knee... Top of Mt. Tam, September 25th. Timed for great weather and enough time for wedding planning.
Going to that next phase, advice I followed: care about and get involved in one aspect, and stay out of the way otherwise. Respond only if asked, and don’t upset things. That’s aside from the honeymoon, where Mrs and I collaborated.
When the day comes... something my brother in law told me that day, just before I entered to the altar...
’The bride, as she enters the church, first looks down to see the aisle. She next looks up to see the altar. She then looks at him, who she’ll spend with the rest of her life.
And that’s what she’ll remember: I’ll altar him’
YW
Yeah, I skipped the knee, and asking her father’s permission
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but when we told her father we were getting married and that she was pregnant, all he said was “it’s gonna be a small wedding”
He wasn’t much of a fan of me before that moment, and that new news didn’t help
Oh well...

1-) marriage is like a garden, tend to it enough and it'll be fruitful; don't and enjoy the weeds.
2-) keep 3 bank accounts. yours, hers and ours. All common living expenses come from ours. Deposits to ours are by percentage, based on income. Never allow her to question your expenses from yours, never question her expenses from hers.
3-) if she tells you something, listen it's probably important to her. don't make her repeat herself. If you do? Be sure she doesn't have to, nor need to, say it a third time.
Best of luck Joto!
Orale!

That's exactly what I did, way back when. Saved a ton of money.
Well, it's not exactly a fathers dream to have their daughter knocked up by some Random Guy.

Aquí se llama la comadre.
I wonder if my homie has thought this into the future. The ring, the knee, baby steps.
From what I understand the future Ms. 20w lives in her place, he in his. Welcome to matrimonial sharing, or what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine too!
Most go into marriage without an understanding of commingling. Well buckle up buckaroo. Starting with the “wet spot”.
Single guys generally know where their stuff is. The important stuff anyway. You can try to stand your ground. Inútil.
We have a bunch of stuff. Three houses full. This started out being my junk drawer
Commingaled. Every place in three houses full of stuff. Where’s my tape measure? En el cajón de los juguetes de los niños. Como no.
One thing, surfboards aren’t touched. Wherever they are, that’s where they need to be. Ding repair in the living room? Ni una palabra. Everything else, forgot it.
St. Paul of the cross to tie the knot? It’s been the downfall of many good men. Neff Barn or LM Country Club?

El Ogro, why is the "coke can bowl" in the junk drawer?
Also, un poco de alcohol te dejaran las tijeras como nuevas Nahual!

He was good to us. Put a kitchen and bath in their basement to make an apartment that we lived in for a few years and saved for a house.
After a bunch of years, he grew to think I was ok for his daughter and a decent father for his grandkids
But we were never close, avoided being in situations where we’d need to talk to each other, and I got comfortable enough sitting in silence with him
He died a while ago
RIP
