God I love that woman.

I asked my ex wife on a mountain top. She sounds like a keeper.

WOMEN are the ones that really crave marriage. Not that men dont want to, but come on, you know its more of a issue with women
I can see little girls playing as brides already dreaming for that day. Sometimes I wonder if women dream more about their proposal, engagement ring, and wedding, than their actually marriage.

Women, its fine that you dream about having that big ring on your finger and showing it to all your girlfriends but, don't you rather have more than 3 months average of your husband's income spent on a house downpayment, home remodelling, a couple of vacation trips, another car, a big tv, clothing, etc. than having all that money just wrapped around your finger?

The whole one-knee thing seems a bit degrating. A guy begging for a woman's heart while she has the power to accept or reject doesn't seem like my thing. I rather give her the speech, hear her also give me the speech. Place the rings on our fingers and enjoy a romantic evening. It's both of us getting married, why would I not show the world I am engaged as well? It takes TWO to get married, right? Why can't I enjoy that magical unforgettable moment to where I get to see my future bride declaring her love to me, putting that ring on my finger, etc. And also giving the speech to my parents just like I would do to her's. All those beautiful experiences SHARED . I don't care if my ring came out of a cracker jack box. It's the whole meaning, wow. I rather have a cracker jack box ring than have 3 month's of her salary wrapped around my finger when we could spend together that money on things we both can enjoy together.

It's nice when I hear women share their stories with tears in their eyes about how their guy proposed on a helicopter, on a cruise, etc. How their man delivered the speech and so on. I have thought of different ways to propose before but also wonder how it would feel to go through that beautiful experience that MOSTLY seem to have the priviledge to enjoy and maybe a guy or two out there.

Soooo, when would you like to get your first period, onioC? You'll have to... Arentcha gonna get pregnant? Maybe she'll get pregnant first, and you next! Or maybe both of you at the same time! Wouldn't that be fun?!

What they want is the wedding. The big ceremony and to be a princess for a day.

That's what I've seen from the women I know personally anyway.

That is exactly how it worked for the both of us, that 2nd time around.

My 1st was living hell, and i swore never ever again, but time heals all wounds. When asked i had been living with her in common law for 5 years.

At the instant I said NO and went for a long hike, better than 10 miles... ALONE. When i returned I had changed my mind, and since then we are still in love. May 20 95.

Not ALL women. Not all the time. Our 2nd each was humbling deep in the woods with very few folks. It didn't cost more than 200 bucks total.

Most of the garments were hand made many by me. LOL that day I had to fix, by sewwing her skirt. She had made a hand made embrodiered bodice.

Perhaps a picture is best eh? Not the best picture either, but all I have on line.


I had forgotten, and so only her chemise and bodice were not made by my own hands, and i made every single thing I have on.

If you look close we are wearing mocs. Hers are center seam and mine are pucker toe.

You can bank on there were a few shot guns and other assorted black powder smoke poles too.

There was a tee pee and other canvas shelters.

At the time there was a hard drought, but I and I alone in the county had a permit. That had to do with running a bow drill for fire.

That would be another story.
