Last night I asked the love of my life to marry me and she said yes! So now the fun starts with the wedding planning. The last picture is one we are going to try and do for an engagement picture but of course with my Farmall H.

May you two have matching rockers in 60 years. With plenty of grandkids to play with. On the front porch.

Have a long and happy life.
 
Where is your ring??? That's right they will fit you for your nose ring after the wedding. LOL

Best wishes to you and your lovely bride to be. I also see your like most of us on here in that your marrying up. LOL
 
congratulations! I would offer one bit of advice, I got married just about a year and a half ago. If you are going to have a dance make sure your band or dj plays music that all the people your parents age want to hear and dance to. which is good music for people younger to dance to as well. I did not do this and it is my biggest regret about my wedding. a bunch of people started requesting fast loud and hard stuff and that is what he played and the dance I am afraid was a disappointment to a lot of people. Of course we were very unlucky with our dj we used a big dj service and you never know what your going to get there we told him what special songs we wanted well in advance our first dance song was pulled off of youtube on his smart phone hooked into the speakers. well any how congrats and good luck
 
You probably can't help but notice how many married men crack jokes about being married, and how they ended up with a "ring through their noses"...All kidding aside, a GOOD wife and a strong marriage is the greatest thing that can happen to a man. I have no idea where I'd be if I hadn't got married years ago. Safe bet it would be a few steps below where I'm at now. Just uphold your end of the deal and be the best husband you can be and you'll have a happy life. Good luck!
 
Looks like it's already been said.........about the ring(s). Grin Congrats

We all have advice but here's mine anyway. I married the love of my life and we "adjusted" to each other for 48 1/2 years when she expired.

Look at the big picture. Don't get hung up in piddly little things that don't matter. Don't nag and don't say what you'll regret later.

You can't expect everything to be perfect all the time and it won't, just the way it is. So be positive and understanding and work together for the common goal.....sharing each other's lives.

Wish you the best.

Don't forget to make a prenuptial agreement also! It's as necessary as the marriage license.
 
Don't mean to be out of line here, but I'd think that young folks don't have enough assets to require one. Besides if love prevails one isn't going to gouge the other.

Texas is a community property state and both spouses share equally in what's accumulated over their lives together unless you are talking about assets which have a beneficiary attached. Then you can pick and choose.

That's the way it worked for me over my married life and thereafter.

If you have a lot of assets going into a wedding I can surely support one and makes good sense, that is if you are worried about your new spouse and feel that they are marrying for a reason other than true love. Course if you are an heir "in waiting" for a family heirloom and wish to keep it in the family, then I can support that too. Explaining that to the new spouse I think would be in order and that would be the end of it. No ill feelings on their part.

Congratulations!! I hope we'll all be reading about your 50th anniversary. I've been happily married 12 years, we've been married 32 years but 20 of them were pretty rocky :lol:
 
I wish you both the best of luck. We have been married for 45 years. I might suggest you buy her her own tractor as soon as you can. Maybe even an old pickup.
 
Hah! Both of us were urbanites. I was really impressed how she adapted to the country away from towns and friends and was no internet or facebook or any of that back then.

But it was our decision, thought it best for the kids, adapted, overcame, and won. Folks it can be done.

She didn't want her own tractor but did want a ZT riding mower which I got for her. We had a big joke going at the time: I told her to mow at night when the neighbors down the road couldn't see her. Didn't want them thinking I was too lazy to mow the grass. Just a joke as it mattered not to me what they thought. Was none of their business.

Congratulations - Bless you both!!

It's been 46 years since Mrs M said yes. HOWEVER she will occasionally mutter "I shoulda said NO...." when I suggest bringing home another old Farmall to fool around with. Beware(!)

If you feel you have to have a prenup maybe you should rethink getting married in the first place!

Congratulations. we just celebrated (AND I DO MEAN CELEBRATED, HAD A HECK OF A PARTY) #50 in December and we're still having fun. No matter what they say opposites can attract, and it can be a great life.
 
Rings are nice but never wear them working. My wife and I went out for our anniversary 12 years ago said itt would be nice if I wore my ring. told her I might forget and rip my finger off. One week later she fell off side of grain truck and tore her finger off. they reattached and she has a 28,ooo scar now
 
Congratulations. Only bit of advice I got for you is just live with her for sixty years first, and then get married. Take it from me, divorce is expensive and stays with you for the rest of your life.
 
Congratulations. Wish you the best. I never really proposed to my wife. I joined the Army when 18, just could not seem to function without her near by and we decided we should get married. She had a year of high school left but, but , well, who needs school. We will be married 60 years this July. Never did get her an engagement ring. Had to cut her wedding ring off a few years ago due to her arthritic hands. I offered to get it fixed up with a snap on clamp type deal but she don't want to spend the money on that. I have always worn my ring. Wore one totally out. Caught it a few times, bent it to heck many times. Still wearing one.
 
I agree. I have been to tons of wedding dances over the years. The worst are the DJs that play noise instead of music. One guy played so loud nobody could talk or visit. After repeated requests to turn down the volume with no change, within the first hour over half the crowd left.

Best DJ played a mix of country, rock, hip, waltzes etc. Something for everyone from age 5 to 90 year olds. Everybody danced, music was loud enough to get people jazzed but not so loud it was uncomfortable or incapable of visiting. As the evening waned and the older folks went home to bed the DJ would play progressively louder with more rock and more stuff the younger stay up late crowd liked. Everybody had a blast. No complaints from any generation.
 
Luckily we have a DJ that graduated high school with my mom and he has already said when I wanted to get married he would play. He is great at having a mix of new and old stuff.
 
congrats, wish both of you all the best! Now for the saying I heard from the old guys I used to work with.
First comes the engagement ring, then comes the Wedding ring, THEN COMES THE SUFFER RING!!
 
Congratulations! I hope you have many happy years together. My wife and I have been married 27 years come April and I could not have found a better partner.
 
Congratulations to both of You ,, And May God Bless You Always with a full life of Joy with very little strife ..
 
Congratulations to the both of you,and many "happily everafters". We were happily married for 44 years until I lost her to cancer in 2010. One thing to keep in mind, many illnesses show no respect for age nor gender, which can be an incentive to do as much as you can to keep each other happy, and try to solve all problems that may arise ASAP, because you just never know.
 
Unfortunately, in the event of a divorce, her lawyer will claim that he is a partner in the family farm and demand half the family assets for her. I've seen it done! A prenup will prevent that.
 
Well yes she is entitled to half; definition of community property. Course it works both ways. My wife and I worked and had IRAs. Whomever lived the longest got both. Why shouldn't both have the same relationship for a farm that they both worked to make work in whatever capacity, be it domestic or helping with the production directly; unless as I said, it was a "keep it in the blood line".

In the case that I mentioned, they were only married 10 months and she ended up with a large bank account. Family had to sell some land to settle with her. A prenup would have only given her half (or less) of her husband's assets; without the prenup she took a big bite out of the whole family.
 
Well you never know about folks. Don't know the particulars on your friend. Could be several things.

Agree with you in this instance, but to me a pre-nup, unless you were filthy rich and she was a peasant, goes against the grain of true love and I frown on that. Course if she didn't come to the party with true love.....but how are you to know that ahead of time. She could be a good actress.
