After three years of dating, my girlfriend and I recently got engaged! Ever since my engagement I have adopted a new motto, “two brides are better than one.” Not everyone feels the same way, at least not until they ask these burning questions about my upcoming bride2 wedding. I don't have all the answers yet, but here are some of the most repeated and stereotypical questions I've had so far.
5. Wait, you're engaged to a woman?!?
Yes, a woman. Those who aren't close to me at work may not know my love for the ladies and when they see my big
sparkler and ask about "him" they get a bit of a surprise when it's a "her."
4. Are you getting her a ring?
The simple answer is no. Although many gay couples (even a few straight ones) get there soon-to-be-spouse something special to commemorate the engagement. For now we are staying traditional on that front.
3. Why didn't you propose?
When we first started dating we discussed it and my fiancée said she wanted to handle this particular milestone. Once that was decided I put my proposal-planning hat away and let her take the reigns.
2. Can you actually get married?
This question is unfortunately more valid than most, and the answer is yes! Being from Florida our upcoming marriage will be legal.
1. Are you both going to wear dresses?
Definitely not. I'll be the only bride in the big, sparkly, white dress. My beautiful bride will be rocking a killer suit.
