Overwhelming weekend, I should say. Rambler and I have decided to get married.
It's an interesting and exciting thought. In just a few months time my life will be nothing as it ever was before. I can't quite say yet what my thoughts on the mater are, though I am quite excited, and just a bit overwhelmed.
The mass texting is starting to get to me as well, which in the regard why is it that the first thing every one asks is when the wedding is? Is this something we are supposed to have decided the very day we get engaged? I think not. Give us time to plan people! Also, why are the female members of the population much more into the mass mazel toving than the male? It's interesting to ponder.

People ask when the wedding is because they want to be invited and/or vicariously share your joy. Sometimes I also suspect it's a conversation starter (mazal tov isn't one), and it's a less personal one than "How did he propose?". And no, you're not supposed to have it decided that day. At least, I didn't. What seems to me to be the standard procedure is to at least know the date of the l'chaim when you get engaged. Though I've seen instances of even that not happening when the couple lives in different cities and won't see each other for a while.
ReplyDeleteI, too, noticed the mass mazal toving by females but not males. That, though, I haven't found a theory for. Also, it seems that when people are friends with both in the couple, the mazal tovs go on the female's facebook, even when the congratulator is male.
Fantastic, sweetie darling! Mazal tov!
ReplyDeleteNow, if you'd decided the date so shortly, I'd be crazy worried for you.
I think, btw, that the mass mazal tov-ing has to do with the fact women are really more into the wedding thing, traditionally.
Re: the title of the post - I don't think you need someone to find you a find or catch you a catch, darling; you seem to have done well of it your own self.
*huge hugs*

Airelin, define shortly. As for the matchmaker, that's the way we do things, ya know?
ReplyDeleteAltie, I have no idea whether or not we know each other. In this world, many things are possible.
possible. yes. but did u even check the link?
ReplyDeleteI have done many things.
ReplyDeletefine, your loss. i just thought it might be nice if you realized that u knew me once upon a time. but ok then. it doesnt matter.
ReplyDeleteHello, Cutey Q!!! Mazal Tov, Mazal Tov! Just you wait till you get to New York my friend! You will be Mazal Toved out of your mind.
ReplyDeleteAs to the demographic differences in Mazal Tov sawyers, it is very simple.
The women are happy for you. The marred Guys think about they're own captivity and the unmarried think that maby they should have gone after you.
Makes sense?
Thanks Henya. That does make sense, a bit. ^_^
