Indoctrination of Second Graders

[Horace]

Indoctrination into what?

Pretty cool story and move on his end. You could tell she saw it coming from a mile (or 8 miles) away. Fun kids reaction. Probably the first time they were exposed to the idea of opposite-sex marriage.

They say huge marriages are negatively correlated with marriage longevity. I wonder how super creative romantic proposals fare in that regard. I guess a lot better.

In my series of two, I'd say that's accurate.

Had a daughter that had to have the Modern Bride fairytale. Marriage lasted about long enough to have a cup of coffee. Second time was a much simpler affair...Eight year anniversary is this month.

We've already hinted to our daughter that her wedding will be modest. We got her through 5 years undergrad with a car and no debt, and we paid tuition for her masters. And her move to Vegas. She's 30. There's a limit, even for daughters.

Is she the type who fancies elaborate weddings? Like, has she started planning her wedding as a little girl? I see that's the stereotype portrayed in bridal themed movies but I am skeptical about how true that is in real life. :man-shrugging:

Also, generally, do girls/women grow out of wedding fantasies as they age?

[Mik]

No, but she also does event planning so I could see a grand vision of some sort. And as long as she can pay everything over the amount we allocate, that's fine.

Wedding Planners, New House Build sales people, Lux realtors, Cars, Fashion, etc. etc. .. all legit professions. The people I know who are successful in these fields live pretty simply themselves.

[blondie]

I thought it was a cute proposal.

That type being a normal healthy female.

As opposed to the loudmouthed head cases that draw all the attention of the left.
