    Once he gets going your H2B doesn't want to hang about does he.

    NYC is normally boiling hot in August so i'm told, but always fab.
    When you're chewing on life's gristle, don't grumble, give a whistle.

    I don't think they are? Plenty of my friends don't want to get married. People on this thread are focussed on it...but if you read the title of the thread that should make it pretty obvious why.

    OMG, congrats to you squ1rrel5! :beer: NYC wedding sounds fab!

    How on earth will you organise it all in 4 months though? :rotfl: Actually, depending on the date, it could be just over 3 months away! Quick, get yourself over to the August thread, and come and see us in the July thread too, we're a very friendly bunch. :)

    Hang on in there everyone else xxxx

    Why are you posting on this thread?

    Bored waiting in for a delivery today, hence spending so much time online, and just stumbled on it. I was fascinated by the title "how do you keep sane while waiting for a proposal" and wondered if this was some time travel thing by women living in the 19th century, passively waiting for a man to decide their fate.

    So this is why Emily Wilding Davison threw herself under a horse?

    I will say no more on the matter. My curiosity is satisfied and my bookcase has arrived.

    erm no I think that had something to do with the vote? I vote. I just don't want to propose. I shall say no more about it either.
