ok, so, what's the most romantic momen, pattern, thing... you've ever heard? known? etc.?
...
Alright...
so story

There's a guy I work with
He's a bit of a guy's guy, says stuff like "Fuck the job" and "Just forget about it, it's BS" and "There's nothing like a burger' and "There's nothing like a guiness"... lives by it, and heart and soul, he's a guy's guy.

Steak and beer, to the core.
So he's been married 2 years, come this september, to a girl he's dated for 8. And every year, for 7 years, on valentines, they've gone to White Castle.

You know what white castle is, right?
Burger place? Yah, burger joint, burgers are about... a mouthful each (Extra small), but you get them by the sack.

But for valentines they put candles and a paper tablecloth on all the tables, it's stupid thing but it's a burger joint thing. He's even got a picture on his desk of one of their times at white castle, the humor of it. It's kind of an ironic joke on valentines.

So I ask him this year what they're doing for valentines, and he says, rather dejectedly, that they've got actual reservations to a restaurant.

And when he said this, the reality of this white castle thing... it's this cheesy dorky thing, but it's so unique to them. And the loss of that treasured moment for him actually hurt him, and though he's like "Yah whatever", it was one of those moments you just tell that it really meant a lot to him that they're not doing this one thing, even though he just wants to make her feel special by taking her out somewhere nice.

And if you asked me to define romance, I could flat out tell you that romance was "White Castle"... and I couldn't express why that was, but that's what romance is...

See, when I first saw this & read the first few lines, I was just about to disregard the entire thing as "Christ, he's drunk & got home rather late. Nicely done to type coherrent sentences though."

And then I read the rest & eh... I guess it depeneds on what it is for some people.

Some couples like to re-visit their first date, like to the movies or a failed trip out on the town, or just a simple walk & talk on the beach, maybe with a picnic. It just reminds you of how you got where you are now with this person, your partner, how simple everything was back when you started out.

It's sweet, it's easy to do & on most levels, both partners think it's a great idea. Personally I think the guy at work has a good heart; it's good to take her out somewhere nice, though did she ask for it or did he just go for it? If he just went for it there's a chance she might not like the change but go with it anyway because he's done all of that for her.

On the other hand, they might go again next year, or they could go the day after, but I guess it wouldn't hold the same value... still, interesting thought.

romance = oral sex

Hey if they think alike and comes down to good old White Castle burgers thats one hell of a romance with a few laughs in it.

I really don't have a lot of experience with the topic...and there aren't even a lot of people around me that are dating. I don't see very much romance in my life, o.O

However, I'm pretty sure that I'd be ridiculously sweet/cheesy/romantic in a relationship where I care about the girl. I'm creative, dorky, and over-think the shit out of everything. I think the trick is going to be finding someone who can keep up/stand all of my retarded junk.

I've thought of a fair amount of romantic things before, but I can't even think of one good example that I've witnessed around me. My dad skipped work on my parents anniversary one year without telling my mom. Showed up randomly in the afternoon with flowers and took her out to dinner. That's about it. That happened once, like 10 years ago. o.O

Being truly romantic without feeling like a cheesy dork is tough.

You cant just buy her something because then you think she thinks that you are trying to buy her love.

Cant just write her a poem because you think she thinks you are cheesy cheap ass.

But in all honesty if you keep thinking about them and buying her little things write her a song or poem, it shows you are thinking about her. Shows that you care about her.

And unless the woman is cold hearted and blind(figuratively), She will appreciate any positive attention you send on her

Nothing, i mean nothing, is better then a holiday away from it all with your girl Gives you some time to just enjoy each others company No alarm clock needed just wake up when ever. Ahhhhh good times.

There have been a few instances when I thought crosser was romantic.

Like when we first started going out, we were caught for PDA at school. I had never gotten in trouble before then but he tried to keep me calm throughout it all. I remember that the entire time we were in inschool suspension he secretively held my hand to let me know that he was there and he loved me. I finally go calmer as the day went on and I fell even deeper in love with him.

I am definitely not romantic. It's not so much that I don't appreciate the idea behind romance...but romantic gestures themselves just make me uncomfortable. I never really know how to take them and how to respond. Plus, being totally freaked out by romance itself makes it really difficult for me to do anything romantic in return. I like it when things aren't planned or supposed to happen...that's the stuff that throws me off. Something random and small that wouldn't really be considered "romantic", but it is, because it's significant to the people involved.

*shrug*

One thing I never said earlier is that I've had any romance in my life, or vice versa . I wouldn't say I'm that much of a romantic... Well, maybe I am, I don't know. I'd certainly the ever-so-popular walk on the beach, watch a sunset or even a sunrise, and hell, I'd treat her at a nice restaurant from time to time, but I wouldn't say that's all Romantic, just... [i[thoughtful[/i].

Still, I've nothing against romance & I think it's good if people can keep being romantic, from teenagers to Great-grandparents.

Romance = Going to the Rec Center and talking about the books we had most recently read while a stream burbles in the background eating KFC. Most romantic thing ever IMO, a treasured memory.

...I'm skeptical about the concept of romance in general. I doubt that it even exists.

Not being able to experience it first hand probably makes it a bit hard to fully understand, too. I mean, if you've never had anyone *really* special, so the only romantic things are coming from people you don't really have feelings for...it can be a bit much and make you want to turn around and walk the other way.

I think romance is just one of those things that differ between people/couples, and is amazing if done right, but cheesy and weird if done incorrectly.



Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I agree on that one, hehe. It's one of those things that keeps things new, and exciting, and reminds both parties that caring = le win.

Also, it's really funny when old people do romantic things. Somehow it seems twice as sweet/dorky.

My uncle flew his wife to Paris every year on their anniversary. Apparently just being there is romantic enough for them.

Rich assholes.

Hmmmm..... let me think about this.

I was maybe 15, trying to get a date with this girl who was 16.

She was smokin hot, but I had no fucking clue that she was, I just thought she was sweet, and strong, and able to actually handle a personality like mine. About 6 months of swooning after her, she gets dumped by her fianse and gets really down about it (suicidal). I move in, not even thinking about a relationship, and ask her on a date. I reserved the most expensive restruant in town, and on the coldest night of that fall, I stood outside for her for half and hour just so I could open the door for her and let her inside.

We ended up talking for a nearly 3 hours before the waiter came up and told us that we had to leave because they were closing. Whats more, her dad was surprised to find out that we had spent the entire time there (apearently he was prepaired to shoot me for didling his daughter).

And despite it all, I didn't get a second date. All that I accomplished was becoming her best guy friend. T.T


The second sweetest thing I ever did was take this girl who I was completly hot for to her date. It was a weird relationship, I was the big brother she never had, and yet she completley knew that I was in love with her. She rewarded my devotion by backing out of prom at the VERY last minute.

love is fickle
Love is blind
it is all around you
it will blow your mind.

it could crush your soul
or make you smile
it can last a life time
or just a little while

But in the end
im sure you will see
i was meant for you
and you were meant for me

Poetry is fun and even though i knowingly suck at it, It can usually make the girl im with smile. And that can keep a man going through any shitty job.

Romance is fake.. if you need to think about being "romantic" it wont be real

Real romance is absolute, 100% love, you just... are... you care so much about the person that it manifests itself in your actions....

Romance is about seeing the person as a complete person, having "respect" for them (that word is used too often and incorrectly by gangsters... so I dont like to use it). They are humans, and they will be there wether you are or not.. they have a life, they are the main character in a story... remember that they really are the main character... just as you are

Making yourself into a sidekick is NOT romantic... being a dog is just annoying... you are the most important person in the world.. but so is she

You are both the main characters in a big ol' poem....

different poems...

Just assuming we are giving advice because every OTHER thread asks for it...

My boyfriend lives in London (ontario), which is like an hour and a half drive on the highway from me, so I get to see him maybe once or twice a month for a weekend. But even while we're apart, he still manages to be romantic.

He'll leave a note in my suitcase, hidden, so when i get home and unpack I'll find it, and it'll have a poem or just a simple I love you written on it. Or when he comes down to see me, and I take him to the train station, I'll get home to find his shirt with his colone sprayed on it so it smells like him on my bed with a little note saying he'll miss me.

Once he did the really cheesey overly romantic thing for me. I was having a horrible month. Nothing was going right, school was awful, work was worse, I hadn't gotten so much as a "how's it going?" text message from anyone I knew. I wasn't sleeping well at all. Needless to say...i was depressed and felt very forgotten and lonely. SO, when i came down to see him for a long weekend, he had placed rose petals along the hallway from the front door of his place to the bedroom, with my favorite chocolate bar half way down the path and a rose on his pillow with a note saying " I love you...now turn around"....He had been hiding behind the door, came up behind me and kissed me.....He even made me my favorite comfort food later on.....chili dogs with a nice cold dr. pepper.....It was the sweetest thing ever!

romance is fake... but is absolute 100% love?

It is not about thinking "hmmm i have not been romantic in a while it is about time i do some of that."

It is about thinking of ways to show your love. It is in no way about being a dog. That is not a relationship. One sided relationships do not usually last long, and when they do both people are usually miserable.

They should be the most important person to you, and it should not be hard to put there needs ahead of your own once in a while.

If they are not that important to you, and you can not go through a little embarassment or a cough up your spending money a little gift for them... Then i am sorry to tell you, that is not love.

<.< Alright, Veni, your first post was probably accurate, though the story was very genuine, and the conversation we've got going is pretty... well I like the contrast going on at least.

I think from the disbelievers to Phuiry, who seems to be one of the few people who really believe in it, there's a strong thought that romance is a hollow empty expression.

I'm getting the feeling the disbelievers are the type to think that Valentines isn't special. Alright, I agree. Valentines is a crock of a holiday, for people who can't figure out romance the rest of the year.

Being romantic shouldn't take active consideration. It's just... you feel inspired to make that person happy, or surprise them, or just to get the silly grin on their face when they're overwhelmed, followed by a crushing embrace or kiss or whatever. Makes it all worthwhile. Because we all know just saying "I love you." on it's own never really expresses what we feel. Romance is the ability or the way we express the enormity of what we feel in a way that the other person truly feels the love and care we feel for them.

If you feel you're not being romantic enough, is it because your feelings aren't as strong, or is it because you're not doing a very good job of letting the other person know how much they mean.


For Kelly - Reaction to a romantic moment - Hugs and kisses are a must. You're not really expected to have anything else to counter, but a silly grin of happiness and lots of love is pretty much what the other person was hoping for.

Romance can be faked (or at least attempted to be fake), and if the person's in tune with you, well, they can normally tell. But not all romance is a hollow show.

Anyway, more later I think?

Heh, just reminds you of all those Teen-films where the nerdy guy gets the girl at the end only this time, he didn't quit manage it, or the films where the guy she's been looking for has been her best friend... *shrugs*

Sucks when that happens Oscar, In a way though the one time that that's happened to me I'm glad it did because we're awesome friends now. Though sometimes I do kind of wonder what would have happened if her old flame didn't show up just in the nick of time with a massive Bunch of White Lillies & a pair of tickets to Athens for a week. Rich git wins again I guess.

Ah well, maybe third time you'll get lucky & she'll actually recognise what you've done / did for her? Not very often it happens, but just occassionally...

Bae - Well, at the time you posted I just found it odd; half 4 in the morning, or there abouts? Even us Insomniacs aren't around here at that time, but eh, I agree, the contrast's quite fun. I can 'believe' in Romance & think it's great that it happens, but I just get the feeling that when I try It'll end up like Oscar here unfortunately; all planning & nothing out of it, just a comment or something when you wanted more.

Ah well, bring on the weekend.

I do have to say, first date romance should be kept to a minimum. You're testing the water, and getting to know each other.

Putting your hearts on the table tend to suggest desperation, and love is a hunt, a chase, a game of cat and mouse, which develops into the slow burn of lifetime relationships.

You've got 2-4 years of blazing infatuation, and it'll fade, and you're left with the coals, which if it's done right, are a loving warmth that last forever.

*cough* Anyway. From what first dates I've had, coming on too strongly has always been the worst thing for a first date. It throws off the perception of what happened, and changes their view of you.

A romantic gesture to get you to the first date is something else entirely

it only counts a romance if you don't expect any thing in return.
"cough" sex, hand jobs, blow jods, or even kisses "cough". you are doing this for the other preson to make them feel good.

A hug and a kiss is just want you want to know that it worked... it's not a reward <.<

huh? dont quite get what u are saying here.

Ok, I had said that if someone does something romantic (in response to Kelly who found it awkward and uncomfortable to react to), well, you don't have to respond in kind, simply a hug and a show of gratitude or a kiss or the like.

To which Gemini said "If you expect something in return, be it sex, or oral pleasure, or a kiss, well then it's not romance" and if you do something romantic, I mean it's not that you want something in return, but it's nice if the person expresses what it meant to them (So it's not a tit for tat trade for a hug/kiss, they're doing it to make you happy, so let them know it makes you feel happy and loved)...

AUGH. Yes, complicated. But it's really not.

You know what? Everyone always says it's complicated and everything. Love, relationships, romance...everyone everywhere say's it's so complicated. To be fair, yes, it's a big deal, and generally it does become complicated. But...I don't think it's complicated in nature. I think things become complicated because we've turned it into a massive game. Trying to impress people, judging reactions, planning accordingly, trying to get them to like you long enough that you have a chance to make a lasting impression...plus, so much more.

I think when it's natural, it doesn't need to be complicated. Underneath all the games and lies and whatever, if you're both honest, trusting, and like each other for who you are (and not who you pretend to be), then it can be easy. It just...happens. Why? Because you want it to be, and you're not muddling it up with all the other junk. We're just really good at overthinking/putting up barriers/hiding/playing games. >.<

*disclaimer* I understand why we have the game, and why we play it, and that in the long run, it probably helps avoid a lot of losers. Still, I like to think that things we seem to expect as complicated, can actually be simple and easy. *nod*

Sad thing is Dark that when these 'losers' (examples come to mind) who do indeed, lose this game that love has become, they take a knock, a blow, maybe just a fleeting one, but it's a wound none-the-less. Pride, self esteem, confidence, or maybe just trust is lost and suddenly everyone of the opposite (or same, for that matter) gender can seem like they're against you.

I hate the fact that these days (as is being put across by LICD so illustriously so in last weeks & this weeks Arch) that Love to some, or most even starts out in a bar, where drinks are paid for & downed & suddenly everything gets phyiscal & then voila, you're in a strange place, or back at your own, alone with nothing to show for it but more confusion.

To some people, hat's a good lifestyle, but to me it's just... sad. I'd love to have a pair of friends like Rayne & Noel, but to be Rayne would be... *shrugs* difficult for me.

I don't even know where I'm going with this, I suppose it's my own strange way of saying that I agree with you Dark, but sometimes even being straight up & hoping their both honest & trustful doesn't always work out. Puppy love & such isn't meant to last but sometimes you just wish it did =\.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. Going honest and avoiding the game right out of the gate is a sure way to get hurt. Even if you found someone else who was willing to do the same, and everything seemed okay...it's still taking a big chance and opening yourself up for hurt. Which, the hurt is what most people want to avoid.

I think the reason people go to bars to find someone is because it's easy, and there are other people looking for someone, too. Easy is the key part, hehe. But really, if you think about life...where do you go if you want to meet someone? I mean, someone you'd want to date. Sure, there are things like the library, or the grocery store, or the bank, and just normal shopping and whatever...but people instantly get the wrong idea if you're there to meet someone. So, they go to the bar, where lots of like-minded people are, it's supposed to be fun and enjoyable so that meeting someone is a good time, and there is alcohol to cause you to care less/relax more so again, it's easier to meet people.

Of course, it doesn't usually work the way most people want it to. So even though it's seen as one of the best places to meet someone, is it really? Lol.

I think that despite what i said, the real easyness in a relationship doesn't come till later. Till after you fully trust the person, and are willing to let them in and just be yourself, and they do the same for you and you both just...know each other so well that you're connected on an unseen level. *shrug* Of course, I don't REALLY know because again, I have very little experience with romance and the such. It's just what I like to think.

Heh, more or less hit the nail on the head with the last paragraph *shrugs*. These days I don't trust anyone, hell, I'm fairly paranoid about my own parents these days, bu gen again I've never been exactly 100% 'loyal' in the trust department towards them.

I'm not too fussed about romance all in all, flowers now & then, maybe a night out worth throwing some money at, nothing amazing, but first I have to meet someone, discover they're not going to run off with someone else, or do a runner as I gradually do a 'Janitor' from Scrubs & open up tiny piece by tiny piece and then that's when I may just start to trust them in return...

Ah love, why couldn't we just leave it at primal reproduction & be done with it...

Not to be a drag or anything. Usually im a hopeless romantic when it comes to that kind of stuff. But lately its been the last thing on my mind. I mean, maybe i have too much on my mind already or something, but it kinda sux none the less. With work and now school, a meaninful relationship for some reason seems like a non sequitor, for lack of a better term.

Exactamundo there Uga.

Love should be the last thing on a single persons mind unless of course they have absoluely sod all else to occupy them. Personally I'll forever be putting my career first should I get into a relationship, or till I get into my career, then I'll ease up. I just don't see the point of stressing over it all so much this early on =\.

Bah it is not really a stress over thing... its usually just a dull ache of loneliness.
It will hit ya... Im working two part time jobs and full time college, i dont have a lot of time on my hands and yet... the pang of loneliness still catches me from time to time.

I'm not a romantic person, but I do so enjoy being with romantics...

last year, I was dating my besty, Pixie... Valentine's day rolls around, and for the first time in my life, I'm not single. I have an amazing girlfriend, and I'm happier than can be. Then I show up at school, find her, and she hands me a single white rose, giving me a kiss and saying happy valentine's day.

That was the first thing that anyone I've dated has ever done even close to romantic. :]

Now my current boyfriend, Barry (or Princess as I call him)...

He's been more romantic lately. :] He explained why he came back, and why he wanted so badly to get back together, and when he was with his now-ex, when he wasn't looking at her, but felt her at his side, for a split-second he would think it was me. When he would try to sleep, all he could think of was me. Whenever he saw a girl, he would think of me. I was always on his mind, the only thing that could get him to smile when he was gone, was a couple pictures and recordings of me and him.

He said he knew how corny it sounded, but it was all true.

I thought it was so romantic. :]

Last summer for my birthday, Barry didn't get me anything. Except him. Basically, he gave me himself for my birthday, and I've had his heart since. All he did was hug me and tell me happy birthday, but just the way he looked at me, and the way he held onto me that entire day, all the little things he did for me... In his own way it was romantic, and he made me smile.

There's just things he does, little things... They just make me feel like he's so romantic. And that I know he loves me.

The first person to ever dedicate a song to me was him. And it was circles by hollywood Undead... The chorus is just "I was running in circles, I hurt myself just to find my purpose, Everything was so worthless, I didn't deserve this, but to me you were perfect"...

And my favorite part of the song (and what made me realize he WAS giving me the song) has to be... "I'd give you my heart, and I'd let you just hold it, I'd give you my soul, but I already sold it, on that day, that day I walked away in december, I will always remember, I'll regret it forever... I remember brown eyes, so sad and blue skies turned to darkness and night..."

And that's basically it. :]]

I love my romantic baby.

Once for Valentine's day my dad took a box of chocolates for my mom, opened it up discreetly so he could close it without damaging the seal too much, and replaced two of the chocolates with pretty glass roses (one was red, the other was a peachy pink, and they both had transparent stems with gold accenting on the leaves). He does corny stuff like that every now and again, but that one really stuck out. He has an odd talent for removing and replacing seals well enough so that most people don't notice it.

As for me, I can't say I've done anything romantic in the sense that I did something really special for someone I was dating (haven't dated much), but I have done some corny, sweet things for friends and close family (read: my parents). Like sending little packages of gifts randomly, or really special ones (like really well made hand-carved wooden roses/boxes I found at little nowhere places, or ren. festivals) for certain gifty-esque holidays, or pretending to ask for the rent's money to do random stuff with and surprising my mom with a bouquet of flowers and a card...

Then there's the story about how my dad proposed to my mom... again... came back from being deported, and in the middle of the airport got down on one knee and all that good stuff.

-shrugs- I just like stories about quirky, cute things people do for each other because they're total dorks. I'm more a fan of those than the "take your breath away with hot burning passion" jazz.

Nice story. Romance, huh? It's been a while for me...

The look on her face made it all worth while. Still, the notion is completely lost on me. Like it never happened.
I don't understand it, but apparently, I'm pretty good at it. Kinda like subliminal notes left on the fridge;
broken thoughts.

I've been married for two years but we've been together for seven years. Men don't know diddly about romance overall. Then again, sometimes us ladys have high expectation of what romance should be also.

What I've learned:

1. If I make a romantic setting, such as dinner at home with candles and place settings. In the end it's really just us having dinner at the table for once with non-harsh lighting. We talk about the same stuff and normally move from the table to the living room to watch a movie and cuddle like usual anyway.

2. We don't dress up if we go out to a fancy or expensive restuarant, we did that once, both of us ended up feeling stupid and akward and I ended up kicking off my heel shortly after the entree's arrived because F' heels. He pulled off his tie.

3. One of the more romantic things my hubby ever did was when we were still dating. I think it was our 3rd dating anniversary, I was at work and he had a friend of ours (a short chuncky block of a man) dress up in a tux with tails and come singing down the hall with a dozen roses at my job. He looked like a penguin waddleing down the hall with roses, my hubby's head popped out from a courner behind the rose bearer where we both rolled over on the floor laughing. Our friend got flustered saying something like ,"Oh fuck you guys!." practically threw the roses at me and stormed out. It wasn't meant to be a joke at him, but it was tooo funny.

4. I'm still learning, but it's a fun process

Back in college I was dating this girl. Second longest relationship I've ever had. (She dumped me for a girl).

Anyways, on her birthday, she asked if we were going to hang out. But I had classes all day, and work that evening. She was a little dejected, but she knew my schedules. Little did she know that I had called in sick to work, and had skipped my classes. As soon as she went to her first class, I ran the six miles to her parents, where she lived. No buses went that way. Her favorite song had always been 99 Red Balloons, so I set it to play on her computer, then spent the remaining hours blowing up 99 red balloons, and covering her walls, ceiling, and double stacking them on the floor and bed. I also placed 18 small to medium gifts inside random balloons, for her to find, as it was that number birthday.
Then waited for her to walk in to her room, unprepared for my presence.

Points for romantic intentions, I hope, but if you take the idea, your girl better not be a power kisser. Because 99 balloons makes your mouth -sore-.

There's a thing about girls liking it when a guy sings for them, though that has, in turn, resulted in many occasions where a guy tried it and the girl just thinks he's dorky, without pulling off romantic, sweet, or even "kinda cute."

Guy I'm with used to have about the worst singing ability I'd ever come across; he'd mess up the tune, be off-key and often almost monotone, and just overall a poor singing voice. He knew he sucked, too. But when I'd ask him to sing to me, he'd still try in his terrible way, and I thought it was about the sweetest thing ever.

He's gotten a little better since then, but it's still not all that great. ^^

I have to admit, I love it when guys do this for me...

With that singing thing, once on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the singer at the end was a guy named Robbie Williams (yes, I'm way out of touch with the media). While singing, he got down off the stage and knelt in front of a couple girls. I swear, I think they about passed out.

romance is fake... but is absolute 100% love?

It is not about thinking "hmmm i have not been romantic in a while it is about time i do some of that."

It is about thinking of ways to show your love. It is in no way about being a dog. That is not a relationship. One sided relationships do not usually last long, and when they do both people are usually miserable.

They should be the most important person to you, and it should not be hard to put there needs ahead of your own once in a while.

If they are not that important to you, and you can not go through a little embarassment or a cough up your spending money a little gift for them... Then i am sorry to tell you, that is not love.

Oddly looks like my post

I used to work a third shift job in a call center. We all had our own desks that we shared with other people from different shifts. One of my co-workers would draw elaborate pictures throughout the night, usually pictures of cityscapes or gardens. One night he left a half-finished drawing of a tree next to his computer monitor by mistake. The next night when we came in, he saw the picture sitting where he had left it. He looked and it had been finished, although in a different style. We decided to see what else this mystery artist could do, and over the course of the next two years, they worked on a different picture every day. One day he drew the words "Marry Me?" into the woodgrain of a tree. The next night, the paper wasn't there. About halfway through the night this reasonably cute girl none of us had seen before came in. She approached him and without a handed him the sheet of drawing paper, looking very serious and almost angry. The paper said "Yes." It wasn't drawn or anything it was just written there. He just sat there with a dumbfounded look on his face. After a few moments, he stood up and kissed her. They have been happily married for three years.

Wow. That was a nice one...

romance is any thing special shared between to people in a loving and hart felt way so yes white castle can be romance as long as it was between people who loved eachother

I remember when my husband perposed to me. The night before we had beed out playing games with our friends and around 7am we stoped to get some breakfast and coffee, lots of coffee. After we decided to head home and get some sleep, so we get home and we just plop into bed and the next thing I know i feel him poking me in the back with his finger and I though How could you possibly want sex now. So I turn over to look at him and I said "What do you want." And he reached to his night stand and said "This" and he pulled out the ring. I know it doesnt seem like it but it was the most romantic thing to me so I said "yes I will marry you!" After that who could sleep. We have been married for two years now and we still play D&D. We even had chocolate D20's made for the wedding.

Nerd weddings are the best by far!!!!

One of my friends better have a video game themed wedding or im gonna be sad

A friend on mine went for a themed wedding, I think it was supposed to seem fantasy-like... The wedding itself was a outside, with her and us bridesmaids barefoot, and something by Enya playing in place of a wedding march. With the dresses, she kept talking about her being the queen (good lord her dress was bigger than she was!) and bridesmaids being like her handmaidens. The reception was supposed to be a masquerade thing, but not many bothered.

It turned out kinda amusing... I was one of 2 people with her almost the whole day before, and I remember a rather inappropriate conversation with her man when he changed the location pretty much last minute to upstairs from a horse supply shop in a room with a turd on the floor (no, she wasn't cussing him out, she was basically demanding "great sex" when all was done)... The maid of honor was her sister, but as a lesbian opted to wear a tux (the gay guy, however, did not where a dress, but also a tux), and her bouquet thing was thrown instead of the brides because she wanted to keep and preserve it... and the gay guy caught both the bouquet and the garter thing or whatever. He wore the latter around his neck for the rest of the night. And we threw some sort of bird-friendly herb or something in place of rice.

It was interesting...
