Second Thoughts
Recently, I made the decision to propose to my girlfriend of three years. Thankfully, she made the decision to accept my proposal. As a result, we are now engaged to be married. She is now my fiancee.
Sidenote: I am amazed by how much people enjoy saying the word "fiancee". Its like everytime I am supposed to go somewhere now, people ask me, "is your FIANCEE coming with you?" They always say it all long and drawn out, like some snot-nosed little kid. "Is your feeee-yon-say coming?" NO! NO SHE'S NOT!
The decision to propose was not a difficult one for me. My fi-...(I almost said it again)...my woman was actually surprised that I did not have any second thoughts. When I proposed, she asked me if I was sure about four or five times. I was down on one knee, starting to cramp up. I almost yelled, "Yes I'm sure damnit! Now will you friggin' marry me or not." Luckily, being with her for three years has taught me patience.
Looking back now, I take the fact that I never had second thoughts as a good sign, It's pretty hard to be optimistic when you live in the world we live in today. Everyday it seems as if the tabloids and internet are littered with stories that scream, "DON'T EVER GET MARRIED!" I mean, if Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon can't make it, what chance do we mere mortals have? I always swore those two were made for each other!
C'mon guys, just kiss and make up already.
Even in the face of overwhelming odds, I prefer not to be cynical (wouldn't want to disappoint CoCo). I choose to believe that marriage can still work. Odds are overrated anyway.Take a look around at the world. The Saints are about to play in the Super Bowl, a black man just gave the State of the Union Address, and The Rock is playing the Tooth Fairy!
What are the odds of that?

My fiance and I have also been together for three years. :P But he proposed a year and a half ago. I think odds don't mean shit. Every couple is different, not just part of a group of statistics.
@Gorrific@xanga - Agreeeeeeeeeee.
The only time people should freak out about odds is when there's a high chance some smart guy decides to ruin the curve in a math class.
Lol @ I was down on one knee, starting to cramp up. I almost yelled, "Yes I'm sure damnit! Now will you friggin' marry me or not."That was too funny lol .Yea I feel the same about Tim Robbins & Susan Sarandon hope they work it out
.
Mmm. Mm. Mm. I love it when we go against the odds.
"Anyway, all my friends used to tell me about how things might work out with these dipsticks because they knew someone, who knew someone, who dated a dipstick just like mine. That girl ended up getting married and living happily ever after. That's the exception and we're not the exception, we're the rule." – GiGi from "He's just not that into you"
Hmmm.
50/50 chance, the odds are better than the lottery.
If you don't have second thoughts, that's great. Don't let irrelevant things sway your feelings that you have already established.
Forget odds. Everybody knows already. That's why the song says "if love was a plane, nobody'd get on"
congrats =D
