I proposed to my girlfriend of five years last weekend, and she said yes. I even did the whole oldschool thing of speaking to her brother and father well in advance, and proposed in a suitably cheesy manner. It’s all very hallmark. I must admit, it’s been quite a surreal experience.
So… who else around here is married or engaged, and how has it affected your life? Alternatively, for those of you who are bachelors/bachelorettes, what are you thoughts on marriage?
P.S. I know you don’t give a s#!t about the fact that I’m engaged, but I’m happy about it so STFU :tongue3:

Congrats, man.
Good shit.

I’ll get married as soon as I find someone that will have me. You know, so I can have sex and shit.

Not so. This is excellent news. Congrats, and best of luck with your new wife.
Thanks, mate. I believe you, but it won’t be all that much different really, will it? I mean we’re practically joined at the hip anyway…
Well, that’s an interesting point. My fiancee doesn’t love the fact I spend every night after work at training, and extra curricular activites like dojo storming definitely aren’t going to increase my popularity at home…
But having said that, she knows that MA is very important to me, and she tries to be supportive. Also, she attended a Karate school for a few years, before repeated knee injuries made her stop.
Depends on your signifigant others out look on marriage. My wife an I were dating basically five years (give or take a few months) before we got married. I thought the same exact thing. Not an overwhelming OMG change but, you’ll see.

This will help in the long run and is a good thing.
@lilly: thanks, mate We’ll probably be coming back down to Sydney later in the year to visit some friends, so I’ll be in touch with you and the others to see if I can join you all for a mini TD.
@Simio de las Rocas: lol.
@Pizdoff: I was waiting for someone to say that :happy:
Well, reading the forum descriptions, YMAS requires a relationship to MA in some way or another, even if it is comedic.
And I don’t mind being mocked, the whole
thing was pretty much tongue in cheek.
Plus, I’m genuinely curious in regards to what people actually do think about marriage. I know it’s not for everyone.
oh, and IIF - I just remembered a certain Dojo I was supposed to be storming this year. I’ll be in touch to discuss the details when I get my act together.
