Wow, that’s an incredibly shitty thing to do. Sorry you went through that.

There was an interesting article on here a while back, but it was more honor bound than legal that I could find. There’s a lot of conflicting pages on the net, but this helped clarify things a bit. (You’re best off contacting a lawyer though:) http://resources.lawinfo.com/family-law/wha…

Bahahaha, yes!

Well done on knowing your audience!

Actually that varies by state. The Marvin rules were adopted in California, and some states also adopted them, but others only honor written contracts between the two parties.

I’d love to see matching youtube videos about divorces to go along with the choreographed proposals...

The reasons for her keeping it generally followed along this: 1.) He wasn’t going to pay for the wedding. 2.) His mother kept trying to convert her to Catholicism. 3.) He cheated on her multiple times.

Bad because she was spotlit with zero way out or way to discuss it with him if she wasn’t a solid yes. I felt like it was like proposing on a jumbotron, but worse; there, people can be distracted two seconds later by the kiss cam or the game starting up again. On the boat, with another 45 minutes of lake cruising...no…

Woof. Marriage and I don’t look like we’re going to be acquainted ever due to Senor Wallet being quite thin.

I said procedure, not demonstration! Hah.

Bingo.

Yeah, my brothers and I all believe it was a “please dear God save me” “yes” for her.

Because you can’t escape! And there’s no food/booze/other things going on to distract people!

I know! I loved my family get togethers but it’s not exactly like a normal 4th of July party, it was a freakin’ reunion. Weird.

Hah, while deeply Christian that side of the family didn’t extend to THAT level of craziness.

Woooooof. I hope he postponed.

And then the Duggars showed up!

He was kind of living with his parents at the time so I think it was less “he was invited” and more “she was invited...” but since it’s my family, those details and the whole experience got swept under the rug...

I feel like at a reception/wedding (on land) you can at least say no or take it somewhere more private, albeit trailing a lot of stares. A boat though, fuck that. Worst place to have a fight, and worst place to propose. That’s the only reason why.

Both are shitty, but the proposed-to person is put on the spot, just…
