That happen a couple of times here in December. The friction in the snow can cause static electrical lightning and thunder. Never heard it before.

I still like the old school idea of it. But I see it differently. If a guy wants to marry me, and has good intentions, talking to my father and mother beforehand out of respect is huge for me. Not necessarily permission, because nobody needs that, but I'm good with a "I love your daughter, and would like marry your daughter, I would love to have both your blessing?" That goes a long way in my book.
I have every intention to have both my parents walk me down the aisle, God willing. I never really understood why only the father gets to do that. My mum will be along side me with my father as they both have raised me. That's my intention for marriage one day.

I tell my clients this all the time- we can fix or replace your vehicle/property. People no. And most understand this once they have the time to think about it. Having an accident or other claim is just so incredibly stressful on people

This is my second go round.
The first marriage, I went to ask my girlfriend’s parents blessing. Her dad was the finance person at their church. Her mom had tears of joy, but her dad was busy working on finance stuff, didn’t raise his eye from his work and said of his blessing “You got it.”
2nd time, I went to see my girlfriend’s folks. Her dad was in advanced stages of early onset Alzheimer’s. Her mom was very happy and emotional and said “Bill, don’t you have anything to say? Our baby is getting married.” He looked straight ahead and said “I know you love her!”
Sadly, he passed the Fall before the wedding and Megan’s brother gave her away.
She’s in RCIA now and coming into the Church at the Easter Vigil.
Your whole post got me. But this? This got me emotional. What a beautiful time to be welcomed into the Church. That is going to be a moment nobody will forget. A beautiful moment!

Mrs. 103 is a very interesting hybrid of traditional and modern woman. Her professional successes, intelligence, and independence scared a lot of guys off before she and I got together. Without that, my life would be poorer for sure.
Her father is a Pentecostal minister, and I never thought of not talking to him before I proposed to the future Mrs. 103. He was moved to tears that I would approach him and talk to him man to man about it.
I was told in no uncertain terms by Mrs. 103 that no matter what her father said, we were going to get married anyway, but she wanted me to talk to him all the same.
@smithformeragent, my wife also went through RCIA - 10 years ago this year. That was a far more interesting chat with her father! Congratulations!
No idea where else to put this…
Did anyone else here know that there is a whole other tribe of Bruins fans here at HF that keeps almost exclusively to the main boards? A smaller tribe than “us,” but they’re definitely out there.
Their avatars and posts give them away, but they rarely come in here. Oftentimes they have some interesting takes. I wonder why they don’t post on the Bruins board?

They cool if I'm an absolute heathen?
Can't believe it's March 6th already. I'll be planting the garden in 10 weeks. Just my parents and I here but I still find it fun taking care of and love cooking.
Didn't ask my now-father in law in my case. Thought about it, but ultimately couldn't really see what I was actually asking. Requesting permission implied something I didn't agree with. Seeking a father's blessing? That could be nice I suppose, but in the end I felt that the matter was purely between my girlfriend and me, and it seemed like she should be the first person to know about the proposal, not someone else.
To each their own, but things panned out well for us, and if her dad was bothered about not being asked, he's never indicated as such. The mutual respect is there, and I think that's the most important thing.
I agree with you, nobody has 'that feeling' except you and the other person.
Have to get to know the family beforehand and do what is best for everybody.

You better show pictures of this garden! I don't have a green thumb much. Wish I did. Anyone who can start a garden or keep flowers or plants alive are good people.
I think the closest "plant" I've kept alive was a chia pet as a child

I dont know what size yard you have but you can always use a regular planter pot (I think, I'm not an expert lol) grow tomatoes to start.
My friend's funeral is on Wednesday and there is one remaining loose end.
We want the service streamed because he has many friends outside of Boston and we want Bernie Corbetts's eulogy to be saved.
The church wants $1000
The priest explained to me the technical cost involved and of course, he had no idea of my background. He said that is what CatholicTV charges....
