Momentous decision - I want to get married

Advertisements [?]

For the first time in my life - including the two times I WAS married.

Man, my stomach hurts just thinking about it.

Part of it is for completely mundane reasons. Protection of our few assets. Emergency medical decision issues. That sort of thing.

I've never looked at marriage as necessary for love, feeling you can be in love and committed without it. I still feel that way.

But it's suddenly dawned on me, for the first time, the value of the symbolic commitment. I guess because, for the first time, I'm with someone I want to make that commitment to.

He's proposed to me at least 20 times in the 6 1/2 years we've been together. Guess I'll find out tonight if he really meant it. :P

:scared:
