OMG!!!!
Wife.
and the thing is, that OMG! feeling never goes away.
just be glad you’re not having the OMG! moment i’m having a lot lately -
“OMG! I’m OLD.”
Wife.
Argh! Stop that!
So in fourteen days we begin referring to you as Ofchef, then? Goody Ofchef.
If you make it through the experience, tell me how you did so that I may follow your advice if I ever convince someone to get engaged to me again in the future.
Foolish mortal woman.
Eek!
Awwwww.
Have you registered yet? You need to cash in on the free gifts!
Thirteen days and counting!
Eeep!
Just out of interest, will you still consider yourself a singe parent after you are married?
Ack- single, not singe.
Just wait until it becomes “OMG, I’m getting married in 2 hours!”, lol!
I’ll be out of the country at the moment of your nuptials, so let me congratulate you and Chef now.
Marriage is a wonderful choice. Not the only choice, not even necessarily the best choice, but a wonderful one. Cheers.
Congrats!
Twelve days and counting!!
Haven’t been around for the last couple of weeks, so only saw the post now. Getting close…..
Yeah—Monday. MONDAY!!! Monday!!!!!
Wait until you have to start saying husband. It will sound so weird.
Brian and I used to make a joke of it, like “Helloooo wiiiife!” “Helloooo huuuusband!”
Oh, god, don’t get me started on the word “wife.” It gives me the skeevies.
I can now say from experience that it’s just as weird to be saying “husband” and “wife” a full year after getting married as it was within a few days.
I’m sure we’ll get used to it eventually, but it’s still just weird.
Whenever Chef calls me \”wife\” I say, \”No, you\’re my wife.\”
Something about \”wife\” feels perjorative. Maybe my addiction to feminist blogs.
For me, wife leads to an identity loss. (Not that this would be the case for y’all in particular, or for everybody.)
It’s no longer, “I’d like to introduce you to Chef.” It’s “I’d like to introduce you to my husband, Chef”.
Or, “My husband….” “My wife….”
Perhaps it could be seen as an addition of an identity. You’re no longer just Lauren, you’re also a wife.
I don’t know. It makes me uncomfortable.
I know I’m probably the 195th person to say this, but Congratulations! All the best!
I have always founf the whole husband/wife thing to be hilarious and fun, at least with MY husband. We married TOTALLy late (37 and 40) so it was/is extra strange and chewy. It always feels kinda like a comedy act or something.
“This is my husband, DAVE….”
See, this thread is totally why we can’t have gay marriage. We already don’t know how to introduce each other: “This is [my friend | my boyfriend | my partner | my unionee | my leather-slave fuckpuppy] Thomas”, depending on social context and all that. What, you want to throw “husband” and “wife” in there too?? Lord.
Lauren, Chef, E, I’m so excited for ya. You’re all great, and I wish you all the best :) I’ll not be back til around Christmastime, but if you’re available ’round then, hopefully we can get together?
Congratulations Mrs Lauren!
