My wife is still annoyed that I didn’t get down on one knee to propose to her. So I guess my question is how is this woman going to pick apart this performance in 12 months.

I’m sure the ceremony at the county clerk office was memorable.

My longtime girlfriend expected me to not only get down on one knee to propose but to also ask her father’s permission to marry her.
Long story short, we didn’t get married.

I didn’t ask permission first either. This ain’t the 1890s.

I’m just hoping this occurred after school at a pep rally or something. If I’m a fan of the opposing team, I’m not excited to have to sit through that train wreck.

San Fernando in San Antonio. Just checked though and, my mistake, they only claim to be the oldest in Texas. Founded in 1735. It’s also where the sarcophagus containing the remains of Davey Crocket, Jim Bowie, and William Travis are buried.

No it’s about relative values. My wife was annoyed about the knee thing but didn’t care at all that I didn’t talk to her father first.

well that’s the rub. the thought is your relationship is already approved of by your future in laws. luckily for me, my fiance’s dad is a dead beat and i’ve never met the guy, so this step wasn’t necessary.

Traditionally you asked the father and he decided regardless of whether the woman wanted to marry the dude or not; that doesn’t really sit well with me. But I’m Black and most of the women I’ve dated aren’t really on great terms with their fathers anyway.

No, it’s not. Not all situations are the same. There was no need for me to talk to her father for a variety of reasons, none of which I will get into here. As for the knee: agree to disagree. I find it old fashioned and unnecessary.

LOng time ago, rumor was a certain hoops coach at Marshall caught one of his players banging his wife and kicked him off the team, then had to take him back when the wife threatened to leave and tell everyone what had happened unless he reinstated the kid.
True rumor.

True rumor.
And then the coach, wracked with self-loathing and trapped in a loveless marriage, decided to sabotage his team’s plane so that he could inflict retribution on the player and his wife. What he didn’t realize was that Marshall’s football team needed the plane first and well, we all know what happened next.
