I wonder if she is mentally unstable. The petting the cat, looking at the can, dumping the cat...just screams crazy person to me.

Depends on who the woman is. If it's his sister or cousin or something, it's fine for a married man to say how beautiful she is, etc. Otherwise, I think it's better to complement something specific. Like, if a female friend posts "new haircut" pictures on facebook, it's fine to say that the...

My hubby doesn't cook. :-)

Why exactly do I bother to vote in California?

I used to play WOW, but even then it was no more than a few hours a day. I like games, but not THAT much. Besides, something would usually pull me away...friends, family, the dog... My dad plays still, but usually just for an hour or so in the evening, more on his days off. Right after his...

Exactly. There are always bars, work trips, etc for people who are determined to cheat.

Yes, with my beloved husband. Have you ever traveled internationally?

As long as they trim their arm pits (six inches of hair is not okay) then I'm pretty much okay.

I don't get a cycle (long story), so we are adopting. It will be at least two years before we can afford the fees for international adoption (yes, we have looked at the domestic options, but for various reasons it isn't for us).

I would not attend, as it is not a "wedding" since there would be no valid "marriage" resulting from it. The "hard" part would be how exactly do decline. Theres the check the "no" box and send it in method, which implies not saying anything about why you think it's bad, and then there is...

Not nervous for the big day, but really feeling the crunch to get the last minute stuff done. Arrrg wedding favors. :-p

A few things. Number one, it isn't about age but about maturity and your state(s) in life. If the two of you could support yourselves, without help from parents (except for maybe tuition or whatever), then it might be possible. However, forever is a very long time, and that needs to be taken...

Thank you all for your help. :-)

Does she wish to recieve the Sacrament of Extreme Unction/Last Rites/whatever you want to call it? If so, I would ask a priest other than this one. Just saying.

If you are baptized a Catholic, you are Catholic. RCIA would only be for him to recieve Communion and Confirmation, I assume. The requirement for a Sacramental marriage is two baptized Christians, so you meet that requirement. However, expect extra questioning from the priest due to your age...

I think that the idea of divorce has become so widespread, and it becomes a self-fueling fire. If it doesn't even enter into the way you view the world, then you don't consider it and instead work through your issues. My fiance's family is from the Phillippines, where divorce is not legally...

As a woman who almost exclusively wears skirts/dresses (I wear breeches on a horse, that's it), I can honestly say that I have no interest in any of the activities you mentioned. I'm not sporty in that way, though. It's a good thing, too, because I'm clumsy as all heck, so I'd literally die if...

Haha on garter toss. I don't have an issue with it, but then I'm putting the garter on my calf when I get married in May. Then I'll just stick out my lower leg. I figure, people see my lower leg when I wear a knee length skirt anyway. He is from St. Petersburg. As for attending a Russian...

Thank you Handmaiden! I actually just spoke with an Eastern Rite Catholic priest today, and I will also be seeking interviews with an Orthodox priest (or several). The female main character starts out curious about Orthodoxy because of him, but by the time they are engaged she believes it...

Just to clarify, when you say Russian-speaking or English-speaking, are your talking about the language used in the Divine Liturgy or the language spoken by the people of the parish out side of liturgy (ie at the parish potluck)? Because if it is the latter, it would be difficult for his new...
