I am super-human.<br /><br />No. Just kidding. I agree with Nathan, it was mostly just dumb luck.

That being said, we were in high school and college when we first started dating and got married 2 years after graduating from college. Do I think eight years is neccesary? Um NO! But I feel like after almost 12 years together I am still learning about Brooks. <br /><br />I suppose there are just different phases of a relationship that I think you go through. And the initial phase is that one where as the stupid female, you want to do all things with your partner. He bikes? You now take up biking. He loves the library and coffee shops, you do too. I imagine guys do this as well but I just see so many females do it. People that still get married in that phase are just crazy to me. I think others call it the honeymoon phase. <br /><br />All of that being said, Brooks and I really only got married bc society makes people get married. <br /><br />As for grooms knowing anything about weddings, I think it depends on the groom. My husband knew little to nothing about weddings and the prep for it but when it came down to it, he really handled more of the details for our wedding with our wedding plannter than I did. But he was the first in his family to get married. I bet if the fiance had older sisters that he is close to that they would know more!Stephaniehttp://wyomingavenue.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-42049366661085521692010-08-19T05:49:10.724+10:002010-08-19T05:49:10.724+10:00I've often wondered that too, but for some cou...I've often wondered that too, but for some couples it just works.

I mean, if the "change of passanger" charge is only $200 bucks or something, you could make out like a bandit if someone is looking for a one-way option.<br /><br />xoxheidikinshttp://heidikins.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2340495888362574426.post-91697964317593064582010-08-19T01:53:11.505+10:002010-08-19T01:53:11.505+10:00Yeah; me, myself, and I could never trust that the...Yeah; me, myself, and I could never trust that the feelings I felt with a person within the first year would be sustainable throughout my entire life. But it's worked for some folks, but I think more out of luck than anything. My grandparents dated 6 weeks before his father told my grandfather he'd better "marry her or move on" as it was too expensive to date long-distance back then. So he did -- 64 years of it.<br /><br />Feel better -- the only time airlines hold a plane and call for passengers is when they've <i>checked in</i> but not appeared at the gate. If you don't check in, they don't wait or look for you. <br /><br />Jase needs to learn one, universal truth: Weddings are for the bride. His recipe to being happy is to do whatever makes the bride happy and walk into everything with a positive attitude about it. The result is that he WILL have fun as well because of the above. Been there, done that.<br /><br />My wife can't wait to go to Disney again. I've never been. The prices scare THE HELL out of me.<br /><br />I've adopted the philosophy that I'll never crowd to get off a plane, train, or bus.

It only happens once in a lifetime (hopefully!), so you should savor it! My husband wasnt too familiar with any of it either.

I dated the same fellow for five years and couldn't imagine getting engaged to anyone I hadn't spent a substantial amount of time with. And then I met my now fiance and got engaged in less than a year. It was completely unlike me, but every gut feeling I had said my relationship with him was different than all the rest in the right ways. Sure, there are things I'm still learning about him, but they fit in with what I already know of him, so it's not like they're big, relationship-shaking surprises.<br /><br />That said -- I can't see anyone planning a wedding in less than a year! Unless they're doing a courthouse wedding or having someone plan it for them.The Modern Galhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663558561522180816noreply@blogger.com
