A Very Short Engagement

Story Sent in by Deanna:

Daniel asked me to meet him at 12 Carver Ave. He said that one of his favorite places was there. I drove over expecting a restaurant or similar establishment.

What I wasn't expecting at 12 Carver Ave. was a bridal shop. I double-checked the address and started to call him on my phone when he emerged from the store with arms outstretched and said, "Welcome!"

Remaining in my car, I asked him, "What's going on?"

He said, "Marry me. I'm totally serious. You buy the dress, I'll cover the justice of the peace. Ready?"

I ran what he said over in my mind. While the offer was tempting, I said, "I'm sorry, I can't. I just got married last night, and again this morning. I have to save up for my next wedding at noon tomorrow."

I threw the car into reverse and pulled way the hell out of there.

    Love your response.

    Wonder what he would have done if you'd actually said yes?

    Wow OP, you missed out! This guy was a big spender. He was totally gonna cover the cost of the Justice of the Peace! He might have even sprung for a wedding reception off of the dollar menu!

    Also, it's my momdad's birthday! Everyone wish a happy birthday to Blue Blue!

    Wow, so many past stories of marriage talk and/or proposals on the first date, I won't even bother linking any of them. Instead, SURPRISE! I love OP's response though. Fight crazy with crazy!

    Green Green, now that's what I call a party.
    Experience has taught me that when a man want to leap straight to the wedding without the banging like rabbits part before hand it's because he has a micro penis that's not going to cure anyone's EVS.

    Taylor, I don't think you're supposed to send JMG the story of your first date with Chunky Horse *after* making a hit song out of it.
