I'm getting married today. I rarely post my triumphs here, but this one seems very special, and therefore, appropriate, and yes, for those of you who were wondering, he is a zoner too.

I'm so happy for you. Smiles.
He is a lucky man, and you are a lucky woman.
Live long, Love unconditionally, and laugh often.

Hugs,
Thom

So are you going to post to your facebook as soon as the pronouncement of man and wife?
You all in the social network space amuse me sometimes.

Aww. Thanks Chelsea. *hugs*.

Maybe I should get a facebook account and post all about the wedding and the weekend that followed so I can amuse Robozork some more. Lol!

I will say this, rather than thinking of it as a fight about independence, think of it as a pursuit of respect / dignity. After all, if the Magic Show people were right, we'd be feeble-minded embiciles whose opinions amounted to almost nothing, whose professional advice couldn't possibly be worth the paper it's written on, whose duties in life would go totally unfulfilled, and whose existences would in fact be sad and pitiable. After all, as I said in the previous post, what good would a magic show be if you are to transform an otherwise productive, respected, taxpaying, responsible citizen.
And as I referenced, the magic showmen's perspective is decidedly very very primitive, while you and I function as civilized members of an ever-globalizing and increasingly complex society. The greatest apostasies per capita happen in native tribes where magic showmen have controlled the masses with their spectacles. Once the masses find out it's all illusion, they perform quite a mass exodus.
So, even inside a church setting, though I will be a gentleman to such a person, it is rather the behavior of a civilized gentlemant towards a barbarian magician. If they can keep the game up while I'm still around, I guess I could respect it in the same way you respect a rather clever rogue, but that's about as far as it goes.

I'm sorry for fouling up this honeymoon board must have clicked the wrong link. Wish I could just delete that prior post before sticking it in the real board for which it was intended.
My sincere apologies

lmao Robo, I had to laugh at that post. It had nothing to do with Jessica's marriage. Anyway, congrats on your marriage, Jessica. Love one another, and if necessary, squeeze that guy so tight until his toenails tingle.

Post 14 by The Roman Battle Mask (Making great use of my Employer's time.) on Monday, 24-May-2010 17:08:07

I guess I have to be the one to shit on the happiness parade. At 18 are you really old enough to know what you want, what skills do you have that will enable you to provide for your self and your spouse assuming one of you is unable to work, do you have all the necessary independent living skills, if your planning on having kids are you really ready for that, etc etc.

Post 15 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Tuesday, 25-May-2010 9:42:25

Appology accepted, Robozork, and to be honest, I agree with you that the whole social networking thing, posting every little thing that happens can get really annoying.

Roman Battle Mask, I respect your opinion, and you are not the first person to think like this. I am not here to prove myself worthy of marriage, but since you asked the questions, I will answer them for you.

My husband works, and has been for almost a year. He makes enough money to support both of us until I can get my work permit in a few months. I already have a job possibility at a credit company, and another possibility at Disney World, which has a major ticket office in Jacksonville, where we are living. We live a simple life, and at this point, we are not planning to have kids. That may happen when we have the means to buy our own house, but we will rent until we are sure we are ready for such an investment. Currently, when I am not going to my avarious imigration related appointments, I keep up with the household, doing most of the cooking and cleaning while my husband earns our living for now. I've been using a white cane since I was two years old, and as such, I am very confident that once I become more familiar with the large city that Jacksonville is, I will be able to travel to my necessary destinations on my own. Also, my husband is quite a few years older than me.

Just for good measure, if you don't believe me, and you want a second opinion, you can PM my husband. LaneKeys.

Congrats! as someone who's engaged and will be married by the end of the year, I'm seriously happy to find there's love in the world.

Post 17 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Wednesday, 26-May-2010 12:35:13

Well, it's a simple as this. Don't let anyone cut you down just becuase you're 18 and already married. Just go along with and have fun if at all possible.

Post 18 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Wednesday, 26-May-2010 12:49:13

I couldn't agree more. Age shouldn't be the most important thing in a marriage. Let me ask you this: What makes you ready for marriage at twenty-five? Surely, it's not the number. I know some people in their forties who are married, and still spend most of their time arguing about money and bad investments, and the fact that their credit rating is worse than anyone would ever want to admit sure doesn't help matters either.

Post 19 by forereel (Just posting.) on Wednesday, 26-May-2010 19:22:36

Selfishness is the down fall of any marrage at any age. A house devided will fall,. A team that pulls different directions gets no place. Smile. I'd personally not marry at 18, but people are so different and their upbringings are so diverse the rules of when are lost. No matter how's it's thought about life is a jurney. Smile.

Post 20 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Wednesday, 26-May-2010 20:02:34

some people are much more mature at the age of 18 than some in their 40's...age is simply a number.

Congratulations!

Congrats!

Post 23 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Thursday, 27-May-2010 10:05:00

Thanks all.

Post 24 by illumination (Darkness is history.) on Thursday, 27-May-2010 10:30:04

Yeah, agree with fighter person, and Jessica does show a lot of maturity. It sort of makes me think she's in her twenties, rather than 18.

Post 25 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Thursday, 03-Jun-2010 14:31:47

That's what I thought at first. Wow.

Post 26 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Thursday, 03-Jun-2010 16:36:13

Well, I'm nineteen now, but that's really besides the point. Itt's flattering that some people think I act older, but again, it's about maturity. I've met people who are sixteen that I thought were at least in their early twenties.

Post 27 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Tuesday, 08-Jun-2010 15:32:47

but you will talk to some bitter old crones that think it is an act. And they themselves act like 2 year olds. It's funny what we learn.

Post 28 by tear drop (No longer looking for a prince, merely a pauper with potential!!!!!) on Friday, 25-Jun-2010 21:51:20

He is an awesome person. Good luck to you both. :)

Yeah. woo hoo

Congrats on your nuptials!

Post 31 by squidwardqtentacles (I just keep on posting!) on Wednesday, 27-Apr-2011 18:13:53

How did I miss this post the first time around? Congratulations from me too. I don't think 18 is too young to embark on an adult level relationship and give it the best try you can. Best of luck to you both!

Post 32 by OceanDream (An Ocean of Thoughts) on Wednesday, 27-Apr-2011 19:49:38

Well, I'm almost twenty now, but yes, I was eighteen when we got married, and we're still going strong. thank you for your open mindedness about age in relationships. it's a breath of fresh air to know that not everyone thinks you have to be over a certain age for a marriage to work out.

Post 33 by LaneKeys (Resident Grungehead) on Tuesday, 03-May-2011 17:59:30

Wow. It's been a while since I've been on here. Not used to all these compliments and encouragement. Thanks a bunch you guys.

Post 34 by UniqueOne (I'll have the last word, thank you!) on Friday, 06-May-2011 5:53:56

That's so awesome!! Although I don't think the age really matters that much..Just as long as you think about things and you really love one another. :)

Post 35 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Sunday, 05-Jun-2011 23:28:52

I will admit that I have my views on age in relationships but, hey, it is all a matter of if the person is happy or not.
