How to talk her into it?

[Graywolf]

A few comments:

1) The quote: "I haven't proposed yet, but she knows it's coming."
According to a poll taken years ago the average bride had chosen her husband about 6 weeks before the average husband had chosen his bride.

2) If you think she should concede to your wishes, then you should concede to hers first. That way there is no hypocrisy.

3) If you are dead set on the kilt, remember - no apparel is worth a lifetime of love of a good woman. ( I have been married almost 35 years - my parents 65 years - its the voice of some experience speaking)

4) COngrats and I hope it all works out.

Funny thing, I proposed to my wife while she was still in HS and I was in college. I had bought the ring, but I had to wait for it to be sized, since I already knew what size she needed. The weekend before it was scheduled to return from the jeweler, she told me a girl on her bus was betting I was going to pop the question that weekend, which was kinda eerie since I had thought about it, but aside from waiting on the ring, the weekend after was more easy to plan around.

I would have loved a kilted wedding, but I wasn't kilted until recently, right after our 5 year anniversary actually. But I can see my path from HS to today, and I know that its almost a miracle I haven't been kilted for years, I wanted one at the ren fest when I was in HS, I even wanted to learn the pipes, but it wasn't really an option back then, and I worked for some time for a highland athlete in MI for a while. I often talked to some of the Brits when I was in college, my last address was Highland Greens before I moved back north, and I have more than I realized books dealing with the religious practices of the British Isles. Granted, $$ was always the hurdle. What if I would have found SWK or Xmarks far earlier...
