Buying a laptop with an included ssd is ridicolous.

Buy something cheap and simple and functioning like http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-4334DBU-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/B007CKQMPI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338109451&sr=8-1 with a separate SSD, preferably a samsung 830 with enough storage for her needs.

In sweden, we have great comparative services, not sure if pricerunner exists in USA, if it does, it filters decently but not great.

And, yeah, buying directly from the big names is hell, it's way easier buying from retailers, at least in sweden.

And you failed to listen.

If you have no proof of something existing or not existing, you do not know whether it exists or not.
Thus it is a matter of belief.

Disbelief is having a belief, in an atheists case, the active belief that there can be no god in a traditional sense.
Lack of belief would be the case for an agnostic, not believing in the existence or non-existence of a deity but simply stating that you are open to evidence either way, but up until that point, no steps will be taken assumiing a deity exists or doesn't exist.
And, yeah, atheism and agnosticism builds societies in almost exactly the same way.

It's a standardized contract giving you plenty of small benefits and a good legal framework for what happens if you break up.
In many countries it is also the only good way for a man to be guaranteed right to be the legal parent of his children.

Also, it's a good hallmark way to say that you have an intention to spend your life with that person.

For me, my proposal to my wife came at such a time that I could foresee no major hurdles which would break us up.

And the spending on the wedding is more along the lines that it is a very good opportunity to get together in a festive way.
