Hi Polarchill, and congratulations!!! Try not to worry too much about not being 'perfect'. None of the rest of us are, either --- not even close. But you and she might be just perfect for one another! By accepting, she'a already told you that what she loves about you far outweighs any foibles you may have. My best wishes to you both.

Hooray! Congratulations Polarchill

Thanks, everybody. As odd as it may sound, I don't think I could have done it without all you guys.

Yeah, she said something like that. Crazy woman.

Count on her to darn near blind me . . . with science!

Oh, how lovely Polarchill! Congratulations!

Isn't this just the loveliest of happy stories? *sigh* I don't know why, but I'm grinning and feeling really good inside after reading this thread.

Thanks for sharing your happiness Polarchill and all the best!

Glad to share. Really, the girlfriend did the hard part.

I am so new here it still hurts...
but had to come in and post my congratulations!

I am no great believer of marriage as such (been there), but i do believe in great love, so it is amazing seeing the bug spreading through the internet as well...Haven't heard of many such stories so far, but then, i am from greece and the internet is not so big yet

so, Happy nuptials!!

As for who is worthy of the other and the rest of the blah blah, there is no such logic. My man defies my logic but i love him to bits...

p.s.Forgive my lack of spelling,eloquence and such, it's gonna happen...

Hi jessica your English is really good!! In fact I'm amazed at how eloquent many people are here who use English as a second language. I really like your avatar too Welcome to the forum

Thanks.

I'm not a big believer in people NEEDING to get married, in general, if they have all the happiness they want in a less formal relationship. In my particular case, though, I felt that I needed a way to express my caring for a loving and tolerant woman who I've spent the last decade with. This was, I guess, my way of telling her that I hope for many more decades of having her in my life.

annoula · 01-01-07 18:27:17

concerning marriage...

i admit to being negative for my own personal reasons and fears. from both sides of my brain...

but i will write about all that on a post of my own when i feel worthy

Well, we've known each other a long time.
We've been through a lot together.
There have been ups and downs.
I'm definitely not the most normal person in the world.
I guess you'd say I'm a bit of an oddball.
I'm a very quiet person, and I've always had trouble trying to open up for her friends. She is a very lively, vibrant person, though she has always insisted she enjoys my quiet nature.
I've always felt she deserves a better provider than I'll probably ever be.
She always said that wasn't important.
I guess not.
That's really her personality, not to dwell on that sort of thing.
On the other hand, it is exactly my kind of personality to constantly worry about not being good enough, not meeting some pre-existing set of standards.
Just another difference between the two of us.
Opposites attract, they say.
But are too many differences too many potential problems?
Sometimes I worry.
If I'm not good enough, she would be the one to suffer.
She's already been through one bad marriage, and I wouldn't want to do that to her again.
She deserves the best.
Is there someone out there who can be everything she needs?
I guess we may never know.
For now she's willing to settle on me.
She said yes.
I just wanted to make you scroll down.
She said yes. :-)

I am so sorry PC that I've not been up with this post so you have made me scroll down and up and down again and ....... ooooohhh, some of it hurts, except the last line "she said YEEEESSSSS. Did you ever believe in your wildest fantasies that you would hear that little word tumble off her lips? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway manyfold blessings and congratulations to you and your soon to be betrothed.

Until I met her, I never really thought anyone would want to marry me. My most serious relationship prior to this had a lifespan of under two years. I believed that most women see me as more of a "fun to be with for a while, but there's no future there" kind of guy. To a certain degree I still believe that, but I must say that my heart flipped over when I discovered that my fiancee didn't agree with the majority.

Thanks for your congrats.
