When you get engaged, there is this crazy world you and your fiancé enter into where every twenty minutes somebody wants to throw you a party, send you a card, take you out to dinner, or buy you stuff. And normally this is fantastic – it’s the best reaction to a three second conversation (“Will you marry me?" "Yes.” Boom. Done. Three seconds, if not shorter) you could ever have. Oh, you’re getting married? Here’s a blender. Here are some wine glasses, here’s a quilting machine, here’s a place setting. But why the hell would I want any of this crap? I just shelled out X amount of dollars for this girl to marry me and she gets all the gifts?
