Do you want to get married?
Do you want to get married? That was the question my boyfriend asked me last night when we were getting settled in to watch Sumomomomomo...mo. (The anime would have been ok if it wasn’t for the lead female. Her face reminds me of a fish and her hair style doesn’t help either. I’ll write more on it later though.) When we got together we already knew we’d get married. We are in it “for the long haul”. The set up we have with my mom was supposed to be temparery and we agreed that until we were truly on our own we wouldn’t get married. Since you can’t find a 2 bedroom/living room/dining room and kitchen with a nice large fire place apartment for $300 bucks needless to say we are still there. XD Since we will be moving soon his question did not surprise me. He wasn’t asking me to marry him since that was done years and years ago; it was very sweet and romantic. The conversation that followed went like this:
Me: Of course! /snuggle
Boyfriend: Why?
Me: *long pause* I love you so of course I want to marry you! *flutter eye lashes and smile*
Boyfriend: That’s really why?
Me: No.
Boyfriend: So then what’s the real reason?
Me: Better taxes! *big smile*
Boyfriend: Why weren’t you more truthful?
Me: Last time I told you, you said I was unromantic! Why do you want to get married?
Boyfriend: The same reason. *smile* Is that the only reason why?
Me: No, there’s also lowering how much we pay on health insurance and then I could put your expenses on my cafeteria plan! When people have been together as long as we have a piece of paper won’t change the commitment they have to each other. It’s so sad that people put so much faith in a piece of paper as if it’s going to give the couple a strong long lasting commitment to each other.
I jokingly told my boss at our Christmas party if my boyfriend and I wait two more years we can get married on our 10th anniversary! XD That’s right I’m probably the most unromantic woman in the world when it comes to the traditional things. I think my boyfriend picking out a card and giving it to me is more romantic and thoughtful then spending a bunch of money on Valentine’s Day. I find him more thoughtful and loving when he brings home my favorite candy bar or ice cream “just because” then when he takes me out to dinner on our anniversary. While I do like Valentine’s Day, I find it very commercialized and for women to expect a gift just because of said day and how society or their friends feel about it is very sad. It also shows their boyfriend or husband must not be doing the “little things” during the year or that they put more weight into gifts on a recognized holiday rather then when their boyfriend or husband does nice, sweet and thoughtful things out of the blue. Needless to say we are not doing anything for Valentine’s Day, but we are going out to dinner on the 15th, our anniversary. :)
One of my boyfriend’s co-workers’ wife told him she wants to do something, but doesn’t want to go out and they can’t celebrate Valentine’s Day the day before or after. I told my boyfriend the solution is simple. All large restaurant chains now have their food to go. He makes the order ahead of time telling them when it needs to be ready. Gets a good bottle of wine or whatever she likes the most to drink, a scented candle (lavender is usually the better neutral choice), do a little research on flower meanings and color meanings and order a decent sized bouquet and for extra “points” add a romantic chick flick he could endure (look to see how long it will run is key). While it’s run of the mill to do most women will find it very thoughtful and sweet. :) If it happened any other day besides Valentine’s Day I’d find it very romantic, sweet and thoughtful.
I agree with you on the Valentines day stuff.. I guess it means big bucks for restaurants, gift shops and the florists which I think is the main reason why they make a big deal out of it. It's not like being single is a big deal. So Katrina.. when will you be legally married?
