I've Heard It All Before!

"Piss off back to your posh area and isn't it time you proposed so I can get rid of her?". Not what you expect from your future father-in-law but he'd had a couple of cans apparently and I'm used to making allowances for Ian. It's not his fault I tell myself regularly, he was born like it according to Debbie's mum Ellen. At least you've got your sense of humour Ian, you're going to need it for the wedding speech!
But it's not just Ian giving me grief at the moment, it's every one of my mates without exception, my mate's wives' including Rachael, who like Debbie is a red head but with an extra dose of fire, and even Debbie herself.
So Ian, knowing full well that you'll read this, as will everybody else I know, I'd like to remind you of a few things.
I'd also like to say a quick thank you to Steve and Mandy directly and Steve and Sue indirectly for inviting us both to some of the best nights out we've had in ages.
Debbie's quite a party girl but when she'd prefer to cancel a girlie night out with her mates rather than missing one of your gatherings it speaks volumes.

I'd had a few!

So Ian, knowing full well that you'll read this, as will everybody else I know, I'd like to remind you of a few things.
- I know exactly when I'm proposing to Debbie, it's in my diary. You know too, as do all my mates.
- You're paying. As such you need time to save up. Debbie wants a massive wedding, this will involve plenty of saving! Serve you right for having a big family!
- Getting engaged will involve an engagement party. I need to negotiate a venue for this which I will do when I have the time. We like parties!
- I also need to go out and buy an engagement ring. This involves the type of shopping I absolutely hate so I need to motivate myself. Shame you can't get them in Maplin's!
- Even though Debbie knows I'm going to ask her she doesn't know when and I'd like to keep it that way. If she finds out I'll change the date by at least 6 months.
- The longer I leave it the more desperate you all become!
