At first I thought these Bumble Bios were from Austin, TX like the girl’s version. I was thinking ‘I know we have a hippy streak, but surely there are not this many granola heads surrounding me.’ Thank god it’s out in CA where I have a few states separating me from these nuts.
Loved Napa. Can’t wait to go again. Here’s some things to know:
-It’s quite pricy. You’ll be spending a lot of money
-Expect some of the best food of your life.
-Do a BnB. Excellent service and amazing breakfast. We stayed at the Inn on Randolph. I’ll definitely be back.
-Make reservations at wineries. The wineries that don’t take reservations will be so busy you shouldn’t even bother going. The ones that do will give you personal attention because of limited guests
-Do the behind scene tours. They cost extra, but you’ll have such a better experience. My favorite was at Pine Ridge. Seriously, if you don’t do their cave tour and cheese pairing you are wasting your time at Napa.
Screw you Will. I recently bought a brand new white car. Last year I took a couples trip to Napa over a long weekend. I’m currently training for a 5k. This blog is slowly making me realize how much alike me and this psycho bitch actually are.
The study found that people who move in together before marriage are more likely to get divorced, IF they have done it previously with other partners. If you move in with a partner for the first time then get married, then your chance of divorce is the same as people who waited to live together after marriage.
Cards go on 80% sale right after Christmas. If the picture and price are what bug you, buy really nice ones from then local card store after Christmas and use them the next year. You save a lot of money, you don’t deal with the hassle of taking the perfect picture, and your friends and family will prefer to have a beautiful card to put up instead of seeing your stupid faces on the cover staring at them.
How to date someone from a rival school: you don’t.
My dad went to Texas A&M and my mom went to LSU. There was never a problem until A&M joined the SEC. Now the week leading up to that football game is utter hell in their house.
What I find frustrating is people like you who assume ‘he is doing well so obviously the parents are paying’. I pay $2000 in rent and it all comes out of my own pocket. I don’t have student loans, but that’s because I had a full ride (undergrad and grad) due to great grades and a hell of a lot of hard work. When I go out to eat with my parents, I pay for them. They raised me and now I’m returning the favor. Believe it or not, it is possible to live well at our age without parents help. So stop assuming that all your friends that currently seem more successful are moochers. You’re just minimizing their accomplishments because of your jealousy.
My dad likes to tell the story of a coworker he had that kept stealing the doughnuts he brought for himself into work. So one day he took chocolate laxatives and melted them all over the doughnuts. His coworker didn’t leave the bathroom the rest of the day.
Sometimes timing doesn’t work out for when you would ideally get married. Wether it be financial, work, health, legal, or age related, not every couple can get married at any time. Sometimes they have to wait a few years like I had to for the wedding, but at least they can move in together to tide themselves over until then. That doesn’t mean that when I finally get married to my man that we deserve any less celebration for our 6 year relationship than some girls I know who are rushing into marriage after one year or so. Everyone’s situation is different, so don’t judge.
Living in a one bedroom apartment, no wonder you guys broke up. You each need your own space or else you’ll feel like you’re always on top of each other.
As I said, we both believe that it would have been irresponsible.
When one becomes married, their spouse becomes their biggest priority. As students, our education should be put above all else. Making education the second priority would have been irresponsible.
People who marry must be able to support themselves fully. We both had full rides to graduate school and research assistantships that paid us each $24,000 a year. We lived cheaply and within this budget, but we were still on our parent’s health insurances. In addition, with this amount of money we could not afford to build an emergency fund. If anything were to go wrong, we knew we had our parents to lean on. Thankfully we never had to, but being married while still somewhat financially dependent on our parents would have been irresponsible.
The graduate research positions we were in gave us livable salaries, but we knew they were only temporary. We still needed to find permanent jobs after graduation that paid a good salary and had benefits and job security. Becoming married without us having this kind of job would have been irresponsible.
Finally, planning a wedding takes a lot of time, energy, and money. These are all things that had to be put towards completing our education. Taking away these to concentrate on a wedding would have been irresponsible.
Moving together is always a personal choice. I respect the decision of those who decide to wait till marriage and I hope they feel the same for those who do it before they’ve tied the knot. As a girl who also went to a Catholic high school and has been living with her man for over two years, I personally have found more merit in cohabitation.
First off, we never felt our reason for moving in together was about furthering the relationship or becoming closer. We had two main reasons for our decision.
1) We were tired of dealing with roommates. If I was over at his place more than once a week his roommates would bitch. They liked me, but guys don’t want women invading their personal apartments. We couldn’t watch a movie while cuddling on the couch because it made them feel uncomfortable. I wasn’t allowed to leave some food there for myself and take up fridge space, so I was always hungry. And it’s hard to get off when I had to be dead quiet during sex or else the guys would start banging on the walls and screaming for us to stop.
2) We saw it as more financially responsible. We didn’t split food bills with our roommates. Someone would always complain that one person was eating more than another. I once had a roommate who said that I used more toilet paper than her so declared we had to buy our own. Now instead of a ketchup bottle at each of our apartments, now we only need one. He and I don’t both have to go out and buy sets of dishes, flatware, or kitchen chairs. There is no reason to have two sets of anything when we’d just had to get rid of a set once we did get married and move in together.
We were together for four years before we decided to move in together. You may think why didn’t we just get married, but we both were getting multi-year advanced degrees. It would have been irresponsible to be married before our education was complete. When we moved in we did have the plan to be married when we could, and we became engaged once we graduated. I’ve seen many couples move in together and the horrible breakup that ensues. They also have not been dating as long and were not even thinking about marriage at the time.
Living together was the best decision we’ve made for this relationship. It was not our motivation, but we did grow much closer together. I’m not saying in the beginning we meshed perfectly, but we worked and improved our mannerisms over time. Besides, it’s wonderful to come back from a late night in the lab to have a warm meal on the table and a kiss from a handsome cook. You just don’t get that from a roommate.
From a married girl’s perspective:
1) Yes, there are regular intervals of sex. Problem is girls expect it to be once every 1-2 days and he expects it 2-3 times a day. Then there is less accommodation to his whims.
2) Yes, girls wear comfortable clothes and happy doing so, yet it bring his complaints about how he wishes to see you in something tighter.
3) Actually, most people judge me claiming it was “childish” to get married in my early 20s.
4) Yes Yes Yes
5) And yes again.
That would only work for a guy. Girls are advised to not mention significant others in interviews and not to even wear a ring. When a girl mentions her “husband”, the employer feels that it is only a matter of time before the babies come and they’ll have to pay for maternity leave and make more accommodating work schedules. Or the girl may want to become a stay at home mom, so there is a risk she would soon leave the company.
When asked why his books are so violent and he kills off so many beloved characters, he responds that all his inspiration comes from actual historical events. The Red Wedding, for example, is based on two Scottish events: the Black Dinner and the Glencoe Massacre. He wants his characters to always have a real chance of dying because he wants us to actually feel scared when they are put in danger. It makes watching and reading a much more emotional and worthwhile experience.
Waffle House didn’t win because its Georgia competitor was Chick-Fil-A. As a proud Georgian I love both, but you can’t beat the original chicken sandwich.
And this is why you are not going to plan my wedding. The point of everything is the WEDDING, not the party afterwards. If I am going to shell out an outrageous amount of money for all the booze and entertainment at my reception, I’m going to make people earn it by sitting through a proper wedding service. I don’t care if they doze off in the back of the church, but they’ll be physically present during what’s supposed to be the most important part.

I thought you were going to say something along the lines of “I blacked out and puked on the bride.” That’s why I’m a terrible plus one.
