et cetera, et cetera.

is it just me… or is everyone getting married these days?

there should be an instructions manual.

also, Man and Woman have German accents because they are from Germany.

me: I’m 24-years-old; I have a lot of life ahead of me.
Man: Wait. You’re telling me that I am 55 years older than you?
me: No way! You do not look like you’re 79!
Man: I am and my wife is going to make me hate it next year.
Woman: He turns 80 next year and I am going to laugh at him. I have known him for 54 years. We have been married for 53 years.
me: What! That’s amazing! Wow! I really hope that I can have something like that.
Man: People around your age and in these years seem to not last very long.
me: Yeah, it’s rare to hear stories about marriages lasting for long.
Woman: It was very different to get married back then.
Man: Yeah, back then, when people got married, they didn’t have stuff. They accumulated as they grew older. Now, people have stuff. Too much stuff—TV, computers, furniture and other things.
me: Yeah, it’s true.
Woman: Yeah, even furniture back then lasted long. You could buy a sofa and it would last you 30 years. Now, furniture is not so good.
Man: Marriage now is like Ikea furniture: cheap to buy, easy to build, falls apart fast!

me: I asked them about how he proposed [and he said that] to afford/buy the engagement ring, he sold his Magic cards.

                      

WL: If I sold my Magic cards, I would only get $100—not really the greatest ring.
me: … So geeky, but sooooooo cute!
WL: That’s cute?
me: Yes! It’s so sweet! He sold his hobby to buy his woman a ring!
WL: “Nerdy” sure is in this year.
me: What would you sell for your woman? I’d sell my soul, but that wouldn’t be worth enough.
WL: You don’t buy the rings, silly.
me: What? Do you steal them? Make them? Go to Mordor and stop Frodo?
WL: The girl does not buy the ring…
me: OH!
WL: … Is what I meant.

me: Why can’t I propose? So traditional of you.
WL: You can… Weirdo.
me: I have a feeling that I’d do the proposing.
WL: Ask him to give you his penis.
me: And put a cock ring on it?
