After 9 1/2 years I finally agreed to get married.
So my girlfriend has brought up the subject of us getting married for several years now. My standard excuse, after my anxiety attack goes away has alway been it is not legal for us to be married in NC. Her solution to this is we could move to a state where it was legal. After several months of research we have decided to move to CT. We are getting married in november on our 10th anniversary.

7. Oh I know.
This is going to be a major culture shock to me. But it will all work out.

10. Thanks.
I see the signs for Stonington every time I go to Providence. That's off of 95 real close to RI right? We are looking for a house near Plainfield.

The next town over is Westerly, RI.

16. from Plainfield
it's an easy drive into Boston... or, a short drive to Worcester to catch the train.

I know a DUer from around that neck of the woods as well.

18. Good for you -- it's why I moved from VA to NJ adter I met Haruka
Edited on Mon Jun-08-09 07:25 AM by LostinVA
I lived in NC for 17 years, and would move back in a heartbeat if they had marriage equality. They probably will by retirement time.

That's funny I left Colorado and moved to North Carolina for Deb. I love it here but we don't want to wait any longer.

26. That's bad lol.
But I can understand how you guys would forget. That's one of the reasons we are doing it on our anniversary. That way I won't get the dates mixed up. After almost 10 years I still get Deb's and one of my brothers birthday mixed up.

29. Hmmm, know you have me wondering.
Our first "date" (if you could call it that---dropping acid) was in 1967. We broke up but remained friends til 1975 when we re-established our "love (sex) interest and then we got legally hitched in 2000 or 2001(?)...now I have to find the marriage certificate (unless it got tossed in the many moves we've made over the years)
