My DF has informed me that he will be arriving later this evening, and I should pick him up.
That was my plan all along.

Then he informs me, that we are getting married tomorrow while the girls are in school.

DO WHAT?!?!?!?:wow

Since there is no waiting period here in Georgia, he thinks we should just make a day out of it. Get married then have a nice dinner and break the news to the girls.

He claims, I can still have my big wedding, but he just wants to go ahead and get it over with.


I love Dean, and nothing would make me happier then to be his wife, but don't I get a say so in the matter?
Just all a sudden he's making these plans as if I am automatically going to just agree with everything.
I totally understand, that at anytime I can just say no, to it. But will I?

I'm so damn nervous about this, my hands are shaking.
I guess I'll try to get on tomorrow, and let you all know whether or not, I am the new Mrs. Thompson.

Wish me luck! :pray

Good luck!!!
If you don't want to get married tomorrow, then tell him you want to wait for your big wedding. He should respect that. But if you decide you do want to, go for it!

Good luck!!

It might just be that he realized he doesn't ever want to be without you.

I really suggest you talk to him about this though. If you're even a little uneasy you should say something. This goes for later in marriage too. The decision he's making affect both of you and he's didn't exactly consult you on it. That's something you don't want to continue after you are married. KWIM?

Having said that, congratulations! If you do decide to get married tomorrow, WOO HOO!! I don't think you need a big wedding to be married. DH and I were originally planning to have a JOP wedding and then have the big wedding later. Immigration meant we had to do it differently, but I was okay with that so long as I got my big wedding later one! Plus, the additional benefits you'll get after you're married might help you afford the wedding you want. Maybe that's what he's thinking about too.

Good luck hun! I can completely understand how you are feeling. Have yall already gotten the marriage license and everything or would you be doing that tomorrow before hand?

Wow! Good luck! If you're not ready to do it, then don't but hey if you are go ahead and yay!!! You can always have that big wedding later. I actually have a few friends that have made it official and then much later had the wedding. I also have one friend who had the big wedding but then forgot to submit the license before the "due" date and now they are technically not married, but that's a whole other story. lol.
I hope you enjoy your day with your man who loves you so much that he just can't wait another day! :)

Yes, I know what you mean.

I think the only reason I am so nervous is because he just sprung this on me. I never expected for him to want to get married so quickly.

He told me he just wants to know I am going to be his forever, and knowing him, I know he doesn't say things like that just for the sake of saying it.
Even with me assuring him, that I am not going anywhere, he still needs to be sure.

He wants to come home for good now, even more so then before. Even though he has to return back to Iraq this coming week.

He was even talking about retirement! OMG, I couldn't believe it. Of course he wants to still be in the Army, but more on the lines of Reserves, so he doesn't lose his retirement check.

He just wants to make sure that I am taken care of, which is so sweet of him. But I am not getting married for any benefits or money. All I ever want, and will want from him is his love, and respect.

Good luck hun! I can completely understand how you are feeling. Have yall already gotten the marriage license and everything or would you be doing that tomorrow before hand?

We can apply and get married at the same time.
Here in Georgia, there is no waiting period.

We go in, and apply, and then head into another room, and get married.

Um, I feel like a pregnant teen, at a shotgun wedding..LOL:hehe

Would you be comfortable getting married with your kids in school? That would be my big issue, I would definitely want my kids there.

Good luck with your decision and wedding (possibly hehe)

well if you get married tomorrow then congratulations!!!

i'd probably talk to the kids FIRST... if it were me....

No, I would definitely want them both there. Getting married is about family, and they are all I have, they should be there.

I'm just so freaking nervous about the whole thing, but not a bad nervous, ya know?

The kids are all for it. Which kind of shocked me a little.
They cant wait for Dean to be their Step-Daddy.

My oldest is begging me to get married.

I couldn't not tell my girls about Dean's plans for tomorrow. I had to tell someone..LOL

Good Luck!

of course it's your choice, if you dont want to or you wanna do it differently (with your children with you..etc.) im sure he'll understand that.. it's really ALL UP TO YOU!
