October 26th, 2008in case it wasn’t clear… we’re engaged!
So the Chop proposed Friday night (and yes, I said yes, lol), and while normally I’d be happy as a clam, my parents were not as enthused as I would’ve preferred
Instead, my parents gave me a bit of grief because the Chop didn’t ask permission for my hand—I should note that I find this practice archaic and told him he didn’t have too, and in fact, I’d prefer if he didn’t. Unfortunately do to that, my parents were, according to them, “very surprised.” Which I also find odd, as we’ve been dating for two years and have mentioned several times we planned to marry.
Whatever. Friends, my cousin and his relatives were very happy and congratulatory, so I am holding on to that, and ignoring the less-than-heartfelt congrats from the parents. Figures anyway, lol.
It’s verrrrrry shiny… 🙂 That solves a lot of problems, lol.
WHooHoo!!!! It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!!! Your “favorite” great(?) cousins are thrilled to death!I think you already received a phone call from him sharing his feelings! Love ya!
PS…Welcome to the family, Chop! Will the invites say Chop?
