GigsVT's Journal: getting hitched

I'm getting married today. Sort of a low profile thing. I've been pretty indifferent to marriage, viewing it mostly as a religious thing, being agnostic, I didn't think it made much difference to me personally.

But it does make a big difference to her, even though I considered myself married (at least I've been as committed as if we were) as long as I've been with her.

It does mean something to me as well, even though I didn't think it would. There are some psychological consequences to making a legal commitment on top of an existing commitment.

So we're getting married. Today. Don't even have rings yet. Plan to have a ceremony sometime in the future, maybe a year from now. It's going to be one of those things where most people find out after the fact. You guys actually know before our parents even know. :)

Congratulations !

Closing in on ten years... What a wild ride. It may seem like nothing, but it is.

Congrats

Is the economy of marriage becoming rarified in today's society? I mean even my current gf who is pretty traditional will not even hear of getting married till she is out of grad school, heh. Damn education, whatever happened to stupified women you could drag home by their hair?

Probably better to not get married until out of school anyway, that way you can get better loans and stuff, since your income will be counted separately. Also you won't be responsible for each other's loans generally if they were made before marriage.

I hope you have a very happy life together. But, don't expect to make as many scientific achievments...heheh

Having a son since 1997 already put a hamper on the scientific achievement area. It's OK though, it worth it.
