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...
