Got Engaged

Post by _MsJack »

Giving this its own thread so I'm not derailing other threads where it comes up.

I got engaged in October. Wedding will be in Seattle in June. He is an evangelical Christian, never married, no kids, and is in that 99.9% of the world's population that isn't interested in Mormonism.

We have a lot in common, right down to our childhoods in Alaska. I'm thankful to have him in my life.

Congratulations

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

Congratulations Ms. Jack
