I tried to find the thread where I posted about getting engaged but couldn't find it. It feels weird to say "my wife" but in a good way.

It has been a good Christmas/Christmas Eve. I hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays.

Isn't a stag party just a batchelor party? Everytime I've heard the term stag party it was a party where strippers were involved.

[AaronTheCabe]

well yes, but bachelor parties don't require strippers, so neither do stags

my future stag party involves a trek through rough mountainous terrain till I reach a cabin on the peak wherein i play a chess game for the fate of all humanity. cause i'm that kinda guy ;)

[BlakeK]

I'm not sure what an Internet batchelor party would look like. 4 tabs of porn streaming at the same time while drinking? Sounds like a Brian Tightpants kind of night.

Your idea of a stag party seems pretty intense. I'd play a game of Mario Kart for the fate of humanity.

Congrats, Blake!

Thanks to everyone. Becca, we just went to the courthouse on Christmas Eve. It wasn't anything fancy. After we did family stuff for Christmas we had a brief ceremony in our living room with a few close family members. My mom and Amanda's mom took photos. I'll post them after I get them. I've put on a little weight so I'm not sure if I want to post them...haha.

We were somewhat impulsive about getting married, though we've been engaged for over a year. I mentioned in passing that it would be cool to get married on Christmas or Christmas Eve due to both of us having time off from work this week. She ran with it and got the details ironed out. We got rings Christmas Eve. It was a very good Christmas.

Everyone was surprised when I posted it on FB as only a few people knew about it due to it happening seemingly out of nowhere.

hearing this made my day. you're a great person and i'm sure your wife is a beautiful woman. remember she's not perfect, and neither are you but the idiosyncrasies that can lead to fight and annoyance wind up being the things you miss the most about that person when they are gone so stick through it. marriage won't be easy. I'm not married but I'm making a pretty well researched assumption that it has its up's and down's but as long as you found someone who loves you for who you are, the good the bad and the ugly, and same for them, then you two are doing you're part to saving the world. I gotta get a little hippie-ish but love is life and the only way we can survive as a race. congrats on your beautiful journey onward. Are you guys planning on having children?

Congratulations, Blake. I'm happy for you. I got married back in October. Definitely a cool, surreal feeling.

She has 2 kids from a previous marriage; a boy and a girl ages 15 and 10 respectively. It's been a big transition during the past 5 months we've all been living together but it has been good. We don't plan on having any other children. I don't much want to pass on some of the genes I have and am pretty sure she's over the whole being pregnant and staying up all night with a baby thing. I'm cool with this and am going to try to be the best step dad I can be.

yeah it's really awesome. i wonder what we're all gonna be up to 10 years from now. probably still cracking applesnonions jokes and reminisce about the days of the champagne room. i kinda like that this board is small (in comparison to others) and tight knit. just don't leave guys.
