my circle of friends is fast approaching the age of marriage.
some of are already at the engagement stage, and while they picked a date good for the wedding, i have a small window of opportunity for what time of year i would like my marriage.
i
know, of course, that none of this will matter when i actually do get married. i will do whatever i'm told to by the woman.
i've learned that when in love, the guy usually does what the lady says. we try to convince our friends that we're independent and she doesn't control us, but we let her anyway. why? cuz she loves us, and to most men, that's a fantastic thing and we realize it doesn't come often so we hold on and try to make it work.
but here is my stupid guy logic for when a marriage may take place...
january right out. janurary is nfl playoffs and the superbowl. and you just don't want your anniversary to be on the same day as the big game. unless you marry a nfl cheerleader or stacy pressman of espn, cuz then they would probably let you watch the game instead of doing something for them. that's a pipe dream
feburary this month is wide open for getting hitched up--except groundhog's day. that's just tacky, unless you are from punksahtahknee (sp?), pa.
march only the few days at the beginning of the month before the ncaa basketball tournament starts. cuz then every red-blooded american male should be glued to the tv, filling out brackets, and bemoaning each un-called upset.
april wide open for the entire month. and the weather is nice, which is a plus.
may opening rounds of nba and nhl playoffs, but those can be missed. probably nicer weather than april. and i like the name of the month. may. it just sounds nice. "when you getting married?" "in may." "oh, that's a nice month." that's just how things go.
june first half or so of the month is out. nba championship and the stanley cup are decided. what if minnesota is playing a game seven for the big one? i can't be held responsible for my actions.
july is given the all clear, except for the 4th. like feb 2, it's just a bit tacky of a day (in my opinion) to get married. i would rather just celebrate independence day than ruin people's bbq plans with a wedding.
august besides the rampant humidity in some parts of this nation, a green light and two thumbs up for this fine summer month.
september-december nfl regular season. even though it would be only every few years that the anniversary would fall on a sunday, i'm still saying no.
my guess is most girls will read this and say, "is this reger guy completely stupid?" but, again, i remind you that this is what would happen if i were solely in charge. love is sacrifice and comprimise. each person giving a little to make sure the other's happiness is kept at an euphoric level. two people's opinions melding into a union that expresses their combined thoughts.
except on the big decisions.
then it's all her.
