I wish to share my piece of good news to all my friends here - I am engaged *smiles*. I was struggling if I should share my news around here because of a psycho ex boyfriend problem (he kept hunting me online). But well, it's a piece of good news and I don't care anymore *laughs*. Indeed, if everything goes right, I will move to another country in like 6 months (please don't ask me where - you could PM me if you really want to know *laughs*). I still can't believe it for some reason, I guess I am still in too much of a shock?

New birth of a girl, it's wonderful! How about the guys? Would it be a new birth for the guy too? Yes, life would be different, but I am looking forward to it!

No it is for girls only as after marriage girls go to different world ( in the world of husband and inlaws) which may be entirely diffrent in living habbits and girl has to live their for the rest of life so she needs to change as per new world , think according to their world that why her whole thinking will change and thus we say its her new birth in new family and life.

*laughs* Thanks! It's not magical but it was hilarious! He proposed on my birthday, but he forgot the ring when we went out, so he had to wait till home to propose! *laughs*, he said, "the reason why I didn't propose outside because I forgot the ring this morning!" I was laughing so hard!

Hello wondericequeen,
No problem at all *smiles* It is good to be engaged. It is great to be married *laughs* But it is too troublesome to take care of your loved one *laughs* Anyway, I hope you can adapt to the changes later. Am I too fast in predicting something? *laughs*

Congratulations!Hope this next one isn't a psycho, esp. since you will be moving to another country. Glad you're happy. Hope this one is truly the one.
So when did all this take place? How did you meet? How long have you two known each other? So how did you know you should say, "Yes."?
Engagements are fun. Hopefully marriage will be, too.

This all took place when I was having my birthday earlier. I have known him since a few years back and we met on the internet. I just know he is the one and it's hard to explain the feeling. We spent a great time together (in real) and it's been good so far!

I saw a joke about online dating one time. "Online dating is rough, kissing the computer screen just doesn't make it." Ha, ha, glad you got a chance to spend some real time with him. Nice that he could be there for your birthday. Don't rush into the wedding part, OK? Take a nice long engagement and really get to know each other. Take care

Thanks! I am thinking of a small and quiet one because I don't want to be stressed about having a big one. I have to research on it though, but I think a simple would do everyone good!

Let me extend my heartiest congratulations to you and your fiance on the occasion of your engagement. I am truly happy for you both, and I wish that you will have marriage bliss in the near future. Now that you are a step closer to tying the knot, your ex should get the message loud and clear, and stop bothering you because if he is rational, he should realise that his chance has passed.

Good luck..marriage is never easy..i have done it until i got it right.
You will learn from experience more then any book or people's experiences
I know you are still in shock and probably have a lot to think about but the least
you should worry about is an ex psycho boyfriend..don't just get married to get
away from him...and leaving the country in six months sounds good but when you get
your new home you will be under a lot of stress from "culture shoch" and loss of immediate friends and family. Not an easy thing for anyone let alone a new bride.
Just good luck. Marriage is never what we think it will be...in my case this last time it turned out better then what I had expected..so I got a pleasant surprise..but I have been married 22 years and I learned never to take anything for granted..things change and so do people..God Bless you and your new husband

that will show that you have left him behind in the past and that he can't do anything to ruin your progress
