wow that was quick, you smooth mover you

He asked me, honest, though I might have kind of invited the question, and he didn't need to repeat himself either time, when he asked me to move in or when he proposed.

Linda, that`s great, i`d def like to come, just let me know when!

The wedding is on June 23rd. We chose that date because it's close to my mums birthday (70th) and what would have been her 50th wedding anniversary, if my dad had still been alive. We will put a general invitation on the board anyway, but keep the date free. You will be most welcome, as will anyone off here,

He asked me, honest

lol, I believe you.

Its similar to me and my husband. He was only supposed to come round for dinner but he never went home. We got married in Sept 04. Have you started the planning yet?

Effervescent

I don't remember the congregation I left from being competitive like that. It was an older majority though, and it seemed like everyone was related somehow. One big happy disfunctional family if you know what I mean.

I had family that was in a different congregation about 100 miles away that was very much like you describe though. Very much about appearances and who was wearing what. It was all silliness and pettiness. They spent more effort worrying about what everyone else had on than "partaking of the spiritual banquet" that's for sure!

We've done some planning, our local pub has a large outside area, and the owner has offerred to have the reception there. We haven't really thought about a honeymoon destination yet, but we kind of like the idea of a cottage somewhere in the UK, as we have a dog and we'd rather take him with us than put him in kennels. We'll be getting married at the local Registry Office, we sorted that a few weeks ago.

The Congregation I came from was so competitive and so full of sisters from age 18 to 30 unmarried it was almost insane. It was a hot bed of hormonal desperation.

We had lots of new people coming in so any new guy was an absolute super star. I remember these 3 guys walking in, all absolute studs, dressed in jeans, with facial hair all over 6 feet. I think there was an audible gasp!

If any one heard the talk that day it would have been the exsisting male population in the hall, every female up to the age of 60 was ogleing these boys.

I was just under the age of 17 and newly back after the reversal of my disfellowshipping. Like the others, I could not help but stare but felt I was out of the loop.

The next week, one of these guys sisters, already attending called me to babysit and I didn't have a ride. She sent her brother one of these guys who had attended the previous Sunday, the most handsome of all. He stood 6 foot 3 with black soft curly hair, the biggest blue eyes to die for and a perfect beard and mustache.

He picked me up to babysit and somehow we became instant friends. 2 and 1/2 years later we were married in November of 1979 so this fall will be our 27th anniversary. You know him as My Motherinlaws worst nightmare-non JW. (He is still just as gorgeous!)

we had an odd competition at our hall. the hens that were involved were competing on who's house was cleaner.

constantly bragging on their house cleaning skills.. one bragged she was up at 3 am ironing because she would NOT have wrinkly clothes in HER house laying around.

(i was never in that competition, i'd lose.. wrinkles add character in my opinion lol)

the same bunch of hens started selling herbal supplements once... OH MY GAWD!! they were like vicious dogs fighting over territory. its one of the few times i was talked to at the meetings in the parking lot..several tried to tell me to lose weight and they had the perfect product to help! of course it helped that they were all hyped up on herbal speed (ephedrine). i didnt buy, i'm still fat and they moved on to sell oxy stuff and last i heard they were selling some kind of cinnamon supplement
