I will no longer be alluding to "my girlfriend" in posts here.
Here's why:
If appropriate, I will now be making reference to "my fiancée" if the post needs to mention the woman I love.
(Yes, I popped the question this morning, and as evidenced by the photo above, she accepted.)
Just alerting my intrepid readers of this alteration of future phraseology, so there's little confusion. Thank you.
Congratulations! Good things happen when you put your dick on the grill.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure Erin meant it in the same way that some family members said in response to the news: "It's about time." That is, applauding the event, and seeing it as long overdue. However, it does seem to cast marriage in a light of specious origin; getting married is tantamount to placing one's genitals in an environment intended for cooking meat? And I hope that is all it could imply, as the notion of it having some sexual overtones—or worse, literal sexual implication—is too disturbing to contemplate.
So, uh, thanks. But when I do marry I'm keeping my pants on, both literally and figuratively.
