I remember bitching about getting married (the second time) all the way to the justice of the peace.
(then giggling and blushing like an asshole -an asshole very much in love, mind you- all the way home)
The particulars of my marriage are a constant source of amused bewilderment to me, I'm certain that whatever part of me handles my end in maintaining it is noticeably absent whenever I consider it. But then again, I wouldn't have the slightest as to what part of me -does it- for my wife.......so that might be it right there. Far from traditional, as was our extended and unofficial engagement, but we manage to be at least grudgingly happy, most of the time.
Success!
I don't think it's very important who asks, or even if anyone actually asks at all. Personally, I think our divergence from tradition is one of my favorite aspects of our relationship - though she may not - but as a husband, I retain the right to cease wondering about what she thinks..........
