/Sam jumps up like a madman
/Sam and his pita arrive at the other family's house
Sam's father: congratulations, this is your new wife and that red skedonk, its yours.
Sam:"Fsck yeah, a new ride!!!"

Interesting thread to read. I had a school friend call me out of the blue one day to go out. I met up with her and another friend a week later. When I dropped her at her house that night I met her younger sister. 6 Months later we started going out, got married 18 months after. Will be married 7 years this year.

Met first week of current job. During induction everyone was stuck up and unfriendly. Except for this one cool chick who came in with a smile and greetings for all, every single day. Started chattting, eneded up flat hunting together, late night dinners in Hatfield, flat mates and then the rest is history. 5 years later we are married, two kids and a house.

in a cheesy way, it does, we jokingly refer to each other as wifey and hubby.

she needs a green card, easier to get while married.

You have to admire her patience.

So no difference really. Maybe we should all wait a decade or so to adjust.
