Oh by the way, the above was not meant to be "advice." Just a story. I'm sure you're getting advice by the bucketloads, and if not, just wait!

I agree with e. When we got engaged, we actually didn't get married for another 2 years. We figured that would allow us enough time to A)save up enough money to do this ourselves so that we didn't have to obey the whims of anyone else paying for it and B)that would be enough time to plan everything perfectly.

Worked great on A, not so much on B, but we did discover that the X factor makes a wedding so much more memorable.

When I was single, my girlfriends and I would jokingly refer to the grossest guy in the room (open shirt, gold chains, drenched in Paco Rabanne - you get the picture) as 'my husband.'

As in, "Oh look, MY HUSBAND is winking and making licking motions in our direction."

So one of the first times that I introduced Rigel as 'my husband,' one of my girlfriends turned to me and said, "Omigod. You're SERIOUS."

My God -- I read the blog title and thought you'd gone and eloped. In any case, "Sugoi ureshii!"

Crouching - that would be "SUGOI URESHII!!!!"

or perhaps "OH! BIKKURI! SUGOI URESHII!!!" for "Oh! How surprising! Uber-happy!"

All I can say is that when I introduce someone as "my wife" well, the feeling is like nothing in the world! (Mmmm. Wait a minute.)

Actually, when does she get to meet the parental units? They must be uber-happy for you too. (I don't know how to say that in Japanese.)

You know what cracks me up? A while ago, you wrote a post in which you said that you thought all your neighbors were saying "Look, Ken got himself a white woman!" I remembered that the other day completely out of nowhere and it made me giggle.

Just wait until you introduce her to someone as "my wife" for the first time. That's REALLY weird. Wonderful, but weird.

by my clock, you've got at least three years to actually get hitched. so no rush or anything.

So I didn't dream all that after all.
