i was engaged for all of 2 hours. husband had been talking about marrying me for a week and i thought he was just saying that shit to get me hyped up...he called me one day at work and was like "i got the afternoon off, if you wanna get married meet me at the courthouse." i took off work for the rest of the day and got married that afternoon in my work uniform at the courthouse. we've been happily married for 5 years and expecting our first baby in july.
our families were pissed because we didn't want a wedding but we didn't see the point in holding off marriage for a wedding...weddings are for feeding the family and taking pictures...it's really not that big of a deal and its way too expensive for no reason. we didn't get rings until our first anniversary and now that i have one i still don't wear it.
all that is to say, the wedding/rings are for show. the marriage license is what matters. if yall are really ready for a marriage, the wedding can wait.
