congrats buddy..
marriage aint easy, but it is definitely worth every moment if you're with the right person..i'd been with my wife for about 6 or 7 years as a couple when i finally bought the ring..
the wedding of one of her friends came up, and we all went..
i sat with her family, since she was in the wedding party..
after the church ceremony, her aunts surrounded me and were giving me the 'sooooo...when will it be your turn...?"
i evaded them, and split back to her parents house to chill out before the reception...
back at the house, her dad and i were out having a smoke, and i said...
hey man..your sisters were giving me the 3rd degree about when i should ask your daughter..
he looks at me, laughs and says,...
'well....thats a good question...
when ARE you going to ask?it was perfect..
i shook his hand and said i'd just been looking for the right time to ask his permission, and that i had a ring allready...
he loved that..
laughed outloud and said...
'you've been with her for almost 7 years...
OF COURSE you have my permission!
he shook my hand again, and raced inside to tell my mother in law and my brother in law..
i came in from my smoke, and it was like a little celebration..all smiles and everything..
couldn't have gone better if i had planned it..let me tell you all something..
having inlaws that you're as close to as your own parents is something more precious than gold.anyhow buddy, i can only hope that it all goes just as well with you...
all the best to you and yours, and remember...
don't be surprised if teh new inlaws want their daughter to have a traditional wedding...
i learned that when all is said and done, the wedding really is mostly for the families involved (especially the brides) more so than for the couple themselves..
and although it can be expensive, it sure is one hell of a party..bigtime cheers and congrats dude
