Since we're on this topic, I have to ask.....did any of you other married folks (or friends of married folks, did you hear about this ever) feel like you were gonna get in trouble when you left your reception? I remember leaving our reception, getting in the car, driving away, and waiting for someone to call and ask why we just rode off in a car alone together, hahaha.
Seriously, we never rode alone the entire time we dated, and it was SO WEIRD after we got married....I felt guilty, hahahaha.
my best friend felt so guilty she said....she said after she returned from her honeymoon she felt like every time the phone rang she thought it was going to be one of her elders...LOL
that's awful. you shouldn't feel guilty for having...you know...after you're married.
People need to mind their own business anyway.
I knew someone who got treated lousy by some because he and his girlfriend took each of their kids out for ice cream without anyone else being with them. Apparently someone in the congregation bumped into them. Uh...What are they gonna do with kids all around them? People are just silly.
that's awful. you shouldn't feel guilty for having...you know...after you're married.
its lighthearted. its cause when you date for that period of time, then all of a sudden you're alone...its understood how they can feel guilty. LOL
wait...you dont need chaperones once your married?
Nope, you are free to grab her. Haha...
When I was younger me and my best friend swore that each of us as part of the wedding/ honeymoon would have a suite secretly reserved. The plan was that on the BIG NIGHT we'd sneak out (under the guise of getting ice) and go party together escaping the inevitable horror that awaits LOL!!!!
that's possibly the silliest thing i've ever heard
i dont understand what you mean
We were totally nervous about...STUFF.
So anyway we each promised the other that (since we automatically assumed we'd be eachothers maid of honor) when we were booking the honeymoon suite (on a seperate floor naturally), we'd also secretly (like under an alias or something) book an additional room for the other.
The plan was fairly elaborate. Whichever of us got married would stay as long as possible at the reception, while the other would (who had the secret suite) would leave right after the ceremony to head for the resort.
So once Bride and Groom arrive, said 'WingGirl' ( I don't know if I can use it this way but, I am) would already be in the hotel/resort awaiting the preplanned escape of the bride.
Once the escape is made two of us would run off and hang out, with a conversation that would most likely consist of a series of shrill "OOoh My Gods!" a lot of laughing and heavy drinking 'cause I'm sure you only get one good escape.
lol, ok i get it now. so basically you get the benefit of having a wedding without having to go thru with the nitty gritty haha, pretty nice for your future husband!
Later in the evening he would. LOL!
i changed my comment :) it came out a little innuendo-ish
pretty much everything i wanted to say sounded unintentionally dirty tho
How can you edit your replies and I can't?
cuz i'm special
I guess so. I hate you! haha..
Then it must be really bad that it cracked me up.
WHAT?! that is insane! Even when i was younger, i knew i wanted to be with my husband. haha
huh? i mean even before i was of marrying age...16, 17, i appreciated the "benefits" of marriage.
oh, haha yea, i know i'm old. how did you know today is my b-day? i'm 23!!!!
Are you saying you and your friend are gay lovers!! LOL!
um, no you dont need chaperone's once your married. unless you do it differently on the east coast. LOL
Besides if you are not married yet, you don't need a chaperone if you take separate cars and meet in a public place. How can you ever show any sort of affection or talk about personal things if you have people breathing down your neck every second? At least that is my take on the matter. I remember hearing a talk awhile back that talked about this as well.
some still talk against this too tho. with my last bf, we'd meet somewhere totally public would have a few peeps make drama. so lame.
People will talk no matter what. I don't care. If I know I am doing the right thing, then it doesn't matter what peeps say. We must fear Jehovah, not men. Those people are gossiping and disobeying a different type of counsel.
oh believe me, im the same way. and i did tell those peeps what i thought....tactfully of course
You are awesome. ;o) People annoy me.
chaperones AFTER marriage? GET THE HECK OUT OF TOWN. total insanity. if anyone tried to preach that to me, i'd tell them to take off.
i think its a good idea. you never know what sort of stuff those married people are brewing up
you're completely out of your tree
DON'T USE FREAKIN' EUPHAMISMS!!!
Hahahahaha....
haha, not leaving the ceremony, but even still now, almost two years after being married, we'll just be home alone watching a movie or something, and i'll be like...isn't this weird, that we're allowed to be alone in a house together? haha
