To be clear, coming to CB for advice was the best decision of your life right?

BYU Fan

Awesome! I love a good CB saga

You got married after 4 months of knowing her? I guess when you know, you know

It's crazy but it is what it is!

I don't think so. I'd say average is closer to 6 months. Real stats would be

JuicyJam

Hey...I did all I could to bring that average up. HCBW and I knew each other

I proposed after 2 months. Married six months later.

I find this extremely hard to believe. I know some get married quick, but average less than four months just seems like

Sounded like he had already known her a while when he first posted here

Plenty of that same story from BYU

Same boat. Just celebrated 20 years last December.

He is engaged, not married. Also, per his post and original thread he has known her longer than that.

Simple band, but to my untrained eye that looks like a 1.5(ish) ct. diamond.

Moissonite perhaps?

maizecoug

2/22/21 9:44am

Could be. That's what I would advise people to buy.

That’s fantastic. So happy for both of you.

Yessir! This is awesome. When's the date?

2/22/21 9:18am

May 27th!

2/22/21 9:25am

Lol I'm getting married May 29th! Love it man.

_Dakoko

2/22/21 11:35am

The real test is...when is the wedding?

Eddie

2/22/21 9:19am

He's learned his lesson. It will be sometime between February and the end of Aug

Now, every time your wife wants to skip a football game, she’ll remind you

k-ace

2/22/21 9:23am

Lollll. We missed the game, came back, and watched it on the DVR w/o commercials

McConkatroid

2/22/21 9:30am

It’s a slippery slope.

k-ace

2/22/21 10:59am

So here's the real question. How many games did she watch with you?

TailgateU

2/22/21 9:32am

Every single one. Plus I've already converted her to the Jazz as well:)

Congrats! She seems like a keeper!

Mr. Rumsfield

2/22/21 10:43am

Not a Jazz fan (yet), but that is solid work right there. A tip of the cap to you, sir.

SoBlueitHurts

2/22/21 10:56am

Congratulations! That's great. Make sure you establish boundaries quickly.

I expected law of chastity talk here. Not football scheduling. Hahahaha

McConkatroid

2/22/21 9:36am

There's another category for that. You're the one that posted it in the football category

No boinking until wedding night. There, gotcha covered.

I described it as "a really strange place full of really weird people, but I can't get away and somehow always come back

It's true. My wife used to roll her eyes at every CB mention. Now she regularly prompts me to ask the board for advice.

Happened to me the other day. Wife tells my daughter I have a problem with CB.

Exact same experience here. She refers to CB as my imaginary internet friends,

So, your campaign to marry her was all just a ruse to get CB’ers to like you?

Nothing wrong with this kind of mob...we need more of this in the world...

39? Try 79. This guy's about to make magic happen off the field. If you only knew what that was like, you'd POTD too.
