(shrug) I'm go with the flow on the wedding details, though I'm grateful we at least agree on the actual ceremony.
meh....That's an old "ism" that i think is a recipe for disaster. I wouldn't get married if I was hoping it would change someone. Who he is now is the guy I want him to always be. I've told him point blank...and one of the things he's said he loves about me is, "You let me be me." Sure he's got flaws and he does things that make me nuts. But that is who he is and I just find a way to appreciate those things about him.
The second half....well i don't put on a show to get a ring, nor do i think there's ever a risk of me getting fat and lazy...the girl he knows is actually who i am....no worries there either.
I'm not saying that this "ism" doesn't commonly apply...but IMO it commonly applies to situations that don't end up working out...and it doesn't apply to me.
