I got married and didn't tell my parents until a week later! Don't ask!

[JanMichael]

Or do.

Or don't.

I just had dinner, it was fine.

k'?

[KCDem]

1. So, what'd they say?

Welcome back, I assume ya'll were off honeymooning or something? :evilgrin:

:toast:

[JanMichael]

2. Mom almost had a stroke.

Not because of anger, she was just totally discombobulated by the surprising news.

Honeymooning?

Not until February.

[KCDem]

5. Well, glad she lived!

Congrats again! :toast:

[KCDem]

4. oh, and as a newlywed, my advice to you:

NO FUCKING IN NOVERMBER OR DECEMBER!!!

Well, unless you have loads of birth control. August/September birthdays are a real PITA when it comes time for kindergarten. Before we moved to TX, my child missed the cutoff so she would have been 6 when starting K. Now, her birthday IS the cutoff, so she'll be the youngest in her grade. Either way, it's a sucky situation.

So, take my advice and ya'll will have one less worry. ;)

[JanMichael]

6. You've got my word on it!

Zip.

[patdem]

3. Do NOT keep us in the dark....what did they say?

besides the 'we love her to death'?

[Rick Myers]

7. Congratulations, my friend!!!

You DID it!!!

:toast::toast::toast::toast::toast:

[patdem]

8. JanMichael...my mother told me she would wish me dead under 2

cirmstances...1- I was a lesbian...I never told her about my lesbian encouters...but I brought my lesbian friend to the house and my mother loved her. 2 - If you date a black man....well I called my mother 3 months after I met my current SO to tell her I was dating a black man...and she was VERY PISSED....I invited her over to meet his parents and she loved them...she still hates HIM by the way!

How horrible could SHE have been?

[JanMichael]

9. My mom was GREAT!

Surprised as hell but she composed herself after a few minutes or so.

I didn't do it to piss anyone off, we just decided to pull the trigger.

[patdem]

11. Good for you! And Congratulations...are you registered?

You should register at Targets so we can at least send a service of your pattern...or whatever you request.

[JanMichael]

13. Nah. One of the reasons we skipped a big wedding was to avoid gifts.

If anyone wants to give?

Contribute to a good cause.

Like the "Blue Eyeliner and Glitter Blush for Groupies" fund!

[patdem]

21. Jan what about 'instead of gifts...we would like you to contribute to'

the beachbuckeye radio show in Florida? hey..use your wedding to do something if not for you...you selfless person,....for your radio station!!!

[Old and In the Way]

10. I did the same thing, way back when.

Didn't have any money and didn't have any desire to have a big wedding. So me and the SO bought a couple of bottles of cheap champagne, found a JOP, and "did it". The weekend was great, but I can remember thinking how I was going to break the news to my Mom.

She told me her tears were ones of joy....I'll believe her.

Anyway, almost 25 years together and still going strong.

12. So did you spill at work

as I recall was threatened to be done for you... Inquiring minds want to know.

[JanMichael]

14. The very next day!

If Shakeydave hadn't been there I don't think they would have believed me!

[salin]

16. hehe.. but at least he let you do the spillin'

:D

[proud patriot]

15. Congrats

:bounce:

[Mika]

17. Why did you do that?

I hope you don't mind my asking.

Why did you get married like that? Do you have a serious beef with your parents?

I just seems weird to deny your parents the chance to celebrate such a special occasion for them. :shrug:

[JanMichael]

18. I have a great relationship with my parents! It's a long story.

But I'll keep it short.

Steph and I met March 1st of this year and pretty much fell in love immediately. As time progressed the almost Evolutionary progression culminated in a rather impulsive act. It simply became the right thing to do. We probably would have had a small service if I didn't live 650 miles away and the planning would be hell. Then again I'm 35 and she's, um, close to my age and fact is we didn't want to make a big deal out of the ceremony. We simply wanted it to happen.

That said...

We'll have a Reception in November where everyone can dress up and take photos.

PS~ It also runs in my family; No harm.

[Mika]

19. Five and a half months??!!

Yeow.

Best wishes to you.

:party:

[Misinformed01]

20. 5 1/2 months????

omg...those people are nuts!

I should start a thread:

"My husband is NOT shy: Ask him anything!"

[JanMichael]

23. Well I'm not!

Shy that is.

But you're too shy-shy, hush-hush...

Sweet mother of mayhem! I just quoted Kashagoogoo!

[shanti]

22. congrats sweetie!

it's good to see that young people still believe in the institution of marriage:-)

[zbdent]

24. You didn't honeymoon at Kennywood Park, did you?

Honest, my best friend at the time gave me two minutes' notice that my services as best man were needed (no they didn't HAVE TO GET MARRIED!).

He had to have his wife home by ten pm. They didn't tell their parents for a week.

He yelled at me for not telling them I was giving them an extra 10 minutes to consummate.
