Modern Day Wedding Bells
Well, I would like to inform you all that I have recently been proposed to 'informally' by my long term friend turned boyfriend. I've described the proposal as informal due to him wanting to propose the traditional way, you know asking my father and having family members as witnessess and so forth. Anyhow, I wanted to know the following:
1. What's your take on young people (21 - 26) getting married
2. Are the formalities necessary (asking bride's fathers for permission, news paper article, announcements etc.)
3. Diamond engagement rings
In my opinion 1. being that I am a tender 24, I think it's okay for young people like myself to get married. It depends on one's level of maturity and experience as a bottom line though. 2. I don't need the formalities, especially because I have been living on my own since 19 years of age. 3. Diamonds aren't necessary either. I LOVE pearls set in diamonds, and that is what my engagement ring is; I'd have it no other way!
