We both love each other so much we even moved to canada together with our families. I wanna do in style so any tips??? Should I propose on Christmas?

 

My opinion is to wait longer, but whatever you think. Instead of Christmas though New Years Eve when the ball drops is also nice.

 

Joined Sunday, asking this sort of question.... we do attract them here it seems.

Anyway 6 months.... other than don't please say you have at least known each other/moved in similar social circles for years. I would make an example along the lines of "at 6 months I would not know the names of their siblings if they were an only child" but I am a noted (in my own mind at least) antisocial bastard so that might not be ideal. Beyond that I am not sure what purpose marriage serves (there are some minor accounting things which are largely irrelevant and in most countries only going to get more so) so I am definitely out.

 

Don't.

I mean, six months is an awful short amount of time to decide you want to spend the rest of your life with a person (especially when you're still 22). It's not a lot of time to make such a huge commitment, and if you go wrong, it's a costly mistake. Why not give it a little more time? As long as you're still together, there's no need to rush the ceremonies.

Just keep that in mind; the last thing you want is an indecent proposal.

 

Having been married for 7.5 years myself, truer words have never been spoken here. It's a rough transistion that first year, no matter how much you love a person. Some people just don't survive it.

So like everybody else says, I would wait and really get to know this girl. There's no big rush to get married. As Judge Judy once said, "You could be with Atilla the Hun for 6 months". It's the time after the puppydog stage and the honeymoon phase that really matters, and how you deal with and work at it.

Now, all that being said, if/when you do propose to somebody, make it personal and special. I took my now wife to the rocks on the lakeshore where we had our first kiss and read her a poem I wrote about her that ended with "Will you marry me?" and then did the one knee thing with the ring. Make it come from the heart and really have some personal significance.

 

My older sister and her husband were together for like close to 10 years before they got married. And all that did was basically prove that they can put up with each other's bullshit.

If her dad is pushing you, then just simply say "I would like to get my life and career settled down first, that way I can take care of her".

Makes me wish we were living back in the old days. Getting a life sorted out meant just being able to cut firewood and hunt, and work the fields >=(

Do her a great Christmas gift and don't propose. 6 months isn't nearly enough for to get the gears going, mate.

 

what is a "girlfriend"

 

I have a sweater that I bought 6 months ago. I sometimes Im still asking myself: why I even bother to buy it?
Of course I wish you best of luck but, man, 6 months is not enough. Critically. Its like trying to launch a pokeball to capture undamaged Onyx. Make her dad try to do it.

 

lol 6 months enjoy the ending of lust and a divorce in the next few years
