Which comes first? Marriage or Engagment?

Funny thing happened to me this weekend. Ok maybe it wasn’t that funny coz it pissed me off so much.

I recently got engaged. Did the whole ask the parents thing, coz they are so old fashioned that Fred Flintstone could have been their neighbour, and got my answer! One of them wasn’t too interested in what I was saying but I really didn’t care. I was doing my bit.

Wouldn’t this person decide to sit me down yesterday and start bitching and moaning about the fact that my Fiance is walking around with an engagement ring but I didn’t bother asking if it was ok?!?!

*trying to get look of shock and horror off face and explain slowly* These were my words exactly.

me: But I asked you a week ago and told you the date I had in mind. 

Dummie: I didn’t hear that!

Me: *frothing at the mouth* But I said we wanted to get married. When people want to get married they need to get engaged first?

Dummie: No one explained it to me like that. Maybe I misunderstood!

Me: People who want to get married kinda have to get engaged first!

Dummie: Well it didn’t work like that in my time!!!!

For fuck sakes, ok those were not my exact words but I think it would have been appropriate. Can someone out there please tell me how things worked back in Bedrock!?!?

The arrangments have not even started and I already feel like running off and Eloping.

Was I wrong in not going back a second time? I mean I didn’t go and ask them the first time round for my fucking health! Was I asking them if it was ok to have the thought of marriage in my head? Was I then suppose to chat to them again when this thought developed into something more? Do I need to run all my thoughts past these people?!?!

I’m so not used to running my thoughts past anyone, apart from my editor who pays me and can kill me with one look if I fuck up. I see myself as an independent young man (oh shut up 25 is young) who has tons of respect for other people. I don’t get upset easily and there aren’t many things that get me down. I’d prefer it if people who were upset about things didn’t piss on mine or my Partners fucking battery because they have nothing better to do with their time!

Come on already. Get a life and get over yourselves. If Fred was here today he’d slap you with that fucking boulder!!!! yabba dabba doo dipshits!

This is where I’m at

Its been a while, No its been a freakin lifetime since I last posted anything but hell folks life has been seriously hectic these past few months.

Some very good news. I recently got engaged! So now my biggest worry is venues venues venues and menu’s! Unbelievable how difficult it is to find a decent combination. Either the venue is great and the food sucks. or the food is amazing and the venue looks like Michael Jackson.
I mean really now is it too much to ask?
We now have a list of a gazillion people who we have not seen in ages and don’t speak that need to be invited to the wedding. Just thinking about it makes my head spin and want to elope! But a little (ok maybe a big) part of me also wants to have the whole fairy lights on a wine farm with the band playing in the background. I’m such a loser sometimes! We’ll just have to see what happens.
Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. Suggest some venues!

I’ve got so much to say but so little time. I have to touch on this Eishkom thing. We all know it was governments fault that we are in darkness now but this is soooo not the time for Eishkom to be doing a victory dance. The problem is still here guys. Fix it!

I can just picture it now. World Cup Final 2010 2 secs into kick off and poof no lights! At least our darling Trevor has decided to give them the cash injection they were praying for. I just hope they spend it wisely. No one left to blame now if things go belly up.

Till later days bloggers. be safe.
