Actually, monnie, I think that you are describing my dream relationship. As a child of a certain decade influenced by the likes of Liberace and Madonna, I've always aspired to be so wealthy that I end up with a pool boy (but no pool), a grape boy, a fan boy, etc. I really like the idea of a dumb stick with a boy toy attached that lets me control his life as my next husband. I REALLY REALLY DO!monarch64|1479929423|4101970 said:Would you also surprise her with a "hey, let's just go ahead and parachute out of this plane!" Good grief, man. It all sounds terribly romantic, but it's just not right to take control of another person's life like that. Way to set the tone for your marriage: you'll be the one making all the decisions without consulting her, and she's just along for the ride as your romantic accessory. You may have a little reflecting to do here, bro.

Thank you sensei monnie - thou shalt not legally marry boy toys!monarch64|1479935727|4102006 said:PintoBean|1479933605|4101993 said:Actually, monnie, I think that you are describing my dream relationship.

Oh darling, you never MARRY them! They become so boring after a few months; making it legal would only complicate things when you're ready for the next hot young thing! Kidding aside, I actually did sign a friend's high school yearbook with this: "I'll see you in 40 years, when I'll be lounging by my pool in my peignoir and maribou-trimmed heels, sipping my third martini of the day." Note that no pool boys, grape boys, or boy toys were mentioned. Easy come, easy go!

I started to type that she may like it, only he knows best, my sister would have loved it yadda yadda yadda and then I stopped. The dress. THE dress. I wasn't able to let go of picking the dress. My sister has just spent countless hours trying on wedding dresses. On Don't Tell The Bride it's always the dress that sets a guy a few paces back. It's your number one on the above list.
If ever there was a reason not to do this, it's the dress.
