Well Smurfy, I''m still just a newbie around here, and I don''t have much to write about yet. But, I do have to say that now after reading this (b/c I can''t sleep yet) ...I totally want a cupcake! But I don''t have one either- or any cake for that matter

A white cupcake with chocolate frosting would be yummy! (and even better with a diamond ring stuck in the top!! Ha!

)

*eats an imaginary cupcake*

 

[Smurfysmiles]

oh so my SO got peeved with me today because we went out dancing last night and on the way home decided we needed potato salad

i dont know why we thought this but anyways
i kept eating it throughout the day today and somehow ended up eating all of it and poor SO had to eat rice with his dinner instead of potato salad
i feel bad because it was the best potato salad ive ever had lol

 

[FrekeChild]

No I''m not typing it. Part of it is on another thread, so I''ll copy and paste. My computer is having some issues. I had to restart it and stuff...gimme a minute.

 

[FrekeChild]

Lately I have to confess I haven''t been as patient or understanding but its because I have a friend that proclaimed about a month ago that she''d never get married, it was old fashioned and outdated. Recently she''d been asking me about what kind of wedding I wanted, engagement ring-all that stuff. Well this past weekend she asked her BF to marry her , and then proceeded to rub it in my face a bit. I don''t think it was intentional, but it still hurt a little bit. Probably mostly because they''ve only been in a relationship for about 4 months-this time. Before it was only 2 months.

What really gets to me though is that she was a touch snotty about how I was getting a silver/gray gemstone (for fun!) and said, "I''m sorry honey, I only do diamonds." I only asked for which stone she preferred out of the two I was looking at! But guess what-when it came down to her BF buying her a ring-she didn''t get diamonds- she got CZ from QVC. He''s wanting her to buy his diamond wedding band-and it''s more than twice as much as her ering-and it has real diamonds on it. The combination of all of it kind of got on my nerves, but I''m getting over it now.

Update on above story:
So she had bought her BF a guitar for his birthday (June) but gave it to him early, the day after was the day that she proposed. She spent like $350 on it...So because she proposed the day after she made it his engagement present. And she got the $115 dollar CZ ring. It''s not much of an update, but this past weekend they went to Zales to buy wedding rings...his cost $500 (WITH A REAL DIAMOND!S he only got the CZ QVC ring) and hers was $75(plain white gold band). Anyone else seeing the #s adding up in his favor? So then I asked her about what she''s wearing to the wedding, because she''d been talking about getting a white dress, blah blah blah, and she''s decided against that and is getting a pair of khaki pants and a white button down shirt. Maybe it''s just me, but even if I were going to the courthouse like they are, I''d want a cute dress to wear, or even a skirt and a nice top, but no, she''s wearing an outfit basically like what she''d wear to work.

And I know it''s her choice, and everyone is entitled to wear whatever they want to, but I have this gut feeling that she bowed out of the dress idea (totally hers and she was so excited about it!) because his stuff ended up costing so much. His wedding/engagement stuff=$850, hers=$190. What the heck? Any opinions on this situation?

 

[FrekeChild]

And for the record--I totally offered to help them with jewelry purchasing-but no. Whatever. Their loss.

 

[brooke.lynne]

First of all, I was reading an article about practical jokes and April Fools'' pranks and I still fell for that one. Well done!

Freke, I don''t know about your friend. How close are you two? The whole situation sounds completely off to me, but I feel like some people are just different, and I don''t understand them, but that doesn''t make them wrong, you know what I mean?

The fact that they have not been together very long is also very strange. How old are they?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

yeah it sounds to me like they really rushed into this. is she really going to be happy with this guy who won''t compromise for what she wants too? no offense to your friend but i give it a year and a half max

 

[FrekeChild]

She just turned 23 and he''s...22. 23 in June then I''m guessing. We''ve gotten a bit closer lately. We met through having an art class together a couple years ago, and pretty much hit it off right away. She''s in no way one of my best friends but still pretty close all things considered. I know what you''re saying, I just feel like something isn''t right there either-and I know them in person. I don''t want to be judgmental in the slightest, but something seems a little fishy in Denmark.

Does it make it any weirder that they are planning on tying the knot in about 3 weeks? Right around my birthday, April 21-23. I don''t get the rush.

Hmmm...and he''s also in the military. Does that make it less weird?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

maybe there is a bun in the oven? if you know what im saying *wink wink nudge nudge

 

[FrekeChild]

Whats weird is that when I was telling BF about it, he says to me, "You realize that by the time we get married, your friends that are engaged (friend in the story) and married (one that had a shotgun wedding just over a year ago and is already attending marriage counseling and she can''t stand his family-also only a 6 month relationship there) could very possibly, heck, probably, be divorced?"

And I thought, "You know he has a point, and could totally be right about that..."

She says there isn''t! Both her dad and her brother asked the same thing when she told them. Thing is, right when she was talking about not getting married she was asking me about getting sterilized because she doesn''t think she wants kids. And now? Now she''s totally reversed on everything that she had a strong stance on earlier!

I don''t get it.

 

[brooke.lynne]

The military thing sort of makes sense with the timeline, I suppose. Is he getting deployed any time soon? From what I''ve seen, men in the service tend to get married younger than others, with more of a sense of urgency. But they also tend to be a little more chivalrous than to expect their future wife to spend more on them than they do on her, so....

 

[Smurfysmiles]

hmmmmmm it is a bit of a mystery, i kind of feel bad for her
if he talked her into those other things, do you think maybe he talked her into proposing too?
