    Aww, well the important thing is that you're together!


    Anyway, his mom knows now because she called. She said "Are you serious? etc etc" she was shocked and I really don't know why. We've been together for 2 1/2 years, we're living together, and we're moving out together at the end of the year. I didn't hear it all but she sounded..not happy about it which made me sad. Is she lying about liking me? Because what other reason could she have to not be happy about our engagement? I saw this coming too but I just don't understand it. We're happy together, and we're not getting married tomorrow so what's the problem with making it official? We're 21, not 17.

    I was so ecstatic last night but now all I feel is nausea. I hate that this is another thing that this bitch is ruining for me.

    Awww that's amazing!

    I wasn't proposed to...well formally. His proposal was "wouldn't it make sense if we got married?" It did make sense. And, well, here we are!

    don't worry too much about your mother in law


    21 is younger than most people who get married.

    it's not a big surprise that she's shocked

    remember, your soon to be MIL is also a controlling drunk, so unfortunately, you have to expect drama from her, and she'll pretty much never quit. just be glad you're marrying him, not her.

    oh, and because you're still young and everything's still in the right place, your presence reminds her that she's a used up, boozed up old sack with all the redeeming and charming qualities of month old under car seat mayonnaise that's been well used by a dozen stinking hoboes.

    I'm kind of sad that our engagement hasn't been celebrated. Everyone knows, only one of my fiance's relatives called and was excited about it. If she weren't sick right now, she'd come to celebrate with us. But it's funny, my own mother couldn't swallow her pride to call me when she found out.

    And his mother asked me one question about our engagement and hasn't said another word about it since. The only other person who seemed glad about it was his grandmother. When she came by she said "Are you married yet? No? Good, we're on time then!" and had a laugh about it, then asked when I was getting my diamond.

    Other than this, no engagement party, no invites to go for drinks, no nothing. I'm feeling kind of sad that's it's not a bigger deal.

    Even If You Can Only Scrape Together 6 Or So Friends,

    And Go For A Nice Cosy Evening Together At A Restaraunt,

    It Would Be Nice And Something To Remember...:).



    Cheers Glen.

    ^ I don't even have 6 close friends. They're mostly just friends who only care a tiny bit about me because I just got engaged and they're either also engaged and/or married, or I'm interesting to them for a moment because something good happened.

    I have two close friends that are too far away and will probably only come out for the wedding. I'm happy, but I wish that his and my family cared a little more. They don't have to give a party, but at least have a drink with us and maybe a little squealing with excitement would be nice.

    Guess I'll have to settle for the little celebration I had with my fiance. We had sex, then brought our empty wine bottle to the forest and shot at it with BB guns.
