[QUOTE]MILF- You are full of good questions today.  Where did you come up with all of them?
Posted by betrothed123[/QUOTE]

Completely random, top of my head questions. I'm trying to be a better interviewer. I interview my FI a lot, he just doesn't realize it.

369 posts? That is amazing. Way to start a thread Cew!

MILF--what is your absolute favorite thing about your FI?

[QUOTE]AATB, my red state turned blue in the last election for the first time since the 196os. It was pretty remarkable.

I, unfortunately, had a hand in that. Although, for me it was the lesser of two evils.

The polls were actually indicating that ND would go blue last time around - and it hadn't since Lyndon Johnson.  So that would have been fun.

But it's fun living next to MN where you never know what the hell is gonna happen.  They will elect anybody.

[QUOTE]I would be Jewish. I love mysticism, and they seem to have an appreciation and acceptance of death that I really envy. I struggle with my religion a lot, and I would love to be able to believe in something 100%. MIAF- What are you most looking forward to about your wedding? What about your marriage?
Posted by jasmineh7777[/QUOTE]

Hah! I knew you would say that! I would pick Judaism as well.

I'm looking forward to the HM the most to be completely honest. I can't wait to be married with a cold drink in my hand, next to my husband on the beach.

I can't wait to meet our children. *cheesy*

Everyone: (if I have not missed this in this mamoth thread!) Do you get along with your FI/H's family?

I am blessed, I love my H's family!

He's very interesting. We've been together over four years and I never get bored with him. We talk a lot, a lot more than we watch TV or anything else. He always surprises me with his thoughts and experiences. I learn a little bit more about him all the time.

I adore Ben's family.  They've always felt right to be with - if that makes sense.  When Ben and I broke up senior year of high school, he came home crying about it and when his parents found out what happened his dad apparently yelled "What!?  Why the fuuck did you do that!!!"  So the feelings are mutual :)  They were so excited when we got back together.

Yup. His parents are always asking after me and inviting me over, and his sisters are super sweet. I love them all.

I get along with them pretty well, but I can usually only handle a few days at a time.  His mom is really nice, but kinda, um, simple?  It's nice to go for a visit, but I'm usually more than ready to leave come Sunday morning.

His dad and step mom are great.  His real mother = witch.  She's not even coming to our wedding.

I love Michael's family.  They are a lot like my family so we all get along great.  Our parents even really enjoy hanging out with each other.

Well, for anyone that missed my post yesterday, I hate my MIL was a fiery passion. And I don't really ever hate people. But I think I am justified. H doesn't know his dad, and we aren't close with the rest of his family.

MIAF- Where are you going on your honeymoon?

YES! Thank goodness. His sister is one of my best friends.

ohwhynot

Mark and I grew up in practically the same family, so we both fit right in.

He's one of 7 kids; I'm one of 8.  Both of us had blue-collar parents (his dad was a janitor; mine was a truckdriver) who sent all of their children to 12 years of Catholic school.  Our moms were homemakers, except when they weren't to help pay the bills - both worked secretarial jobs on and off throughout our childhoods.  Just very, very similar backgrounds. 

I adore his Mom, esp.

Yes, they are all really nice and love me to death. H's mom is thrilled that someone is taking care of her son and keeping him fed. His grandfather told him to propose the first time we met. And his dad is super cool, very laid back and go with the flow. His sister can be grating at times, but she's very sweet (I just can't stand her baby-talk voice).

LIkewise, my family loves H. Every time I'm coming down they tell me I better be bringing him along too. My mom said she knew the first time she met him that he was the one for me.

Cozumel at an AI resort. Neither one of us have ever been on a vacation like it. I've never been outside the country and he's only been to third world countries and war zones, so we are excited.

I can only think of one thing, but it's probably way too much of a downer and I still feel pretty guilty about it.

this thread is really long and kinda frightens me. i don't think i am going to read it.

dmiller9274

Jas - Are most of your friends older than you?  You seem to be very mature for your age, so I would assume that you would gravitate more towards people that are a little older.

Staceytaylor - How are your wedding plans coming along?  It's getting close, are you getting nervous about any details?

I made a fake license plate once . But I won't tell you why.

He <em>was</em> in the Army. But he served his time and now he's out.

Dmiller-Thank you.  Most of our married friends are in there late twenties- early forties. Beyond that, I spend most of my time with little children.

MIAF- That sounds so fun!

missy68

Oh Sarah. Chicken.


I get along okay with his sister. I don't like Bunco, and she plays, so when she invites me to sub play, I have to come up with an excuse. I'm closer to my brother's wife. His nephew - is a grump in general. I don't think I've ever seen him smile. Sister's new husband? Who knows? He sits on the couch if we eat over, and watches TV or a movie. His aunt is crazy. She keeps score of who comes to visit her and when.

His mom's deceased.  His "father" could not exist, as far as J and I are concerned. He's a mega super asshole to the nth degree. I will never plan to have a relationship with him, unless J changes his mind.

Oh, as far as my family goes? They love John. Andy, my nephew especially. In fact, he made some smart comment to me (like something my brother would say), and my dad high fived him while he laughed out loud.

[QUOTE]I plan on seeing that movie this weekend. J's on an overnight bike ride, and he was mean enough to go see the Expendables with a buddy and not me, so I'm going to see that (he wouldn't see that anyway).

When you say bike ride, do you mean bicycles or motorcycles?  Just curious.
