Elisa said:Congratulations Gertrudis! Nice choice to live in a farm in the beautiful Portugal.
parallel said:It sounds so right and as Nienna Eluch I am rarely happy when people are getting married as it's usually such a mindless choice.
parallel said:Congratulations Gertrudes on your choice, It sounds so right and as Nienna Eluch I am rarely happy when people are getting married as it's usually such a mindless choice. But this sounds like it's meant to be (in a conscious way), may you two prosper in your bond.
Gertrudes said:That was the hardest part for us to surpass, you know, that we are also rarely happy when seeing people getting married.
truth seeker said:It was rhetorical in response to Mrs. Peel's post but can also apply to anyone. Sorry for the lack of clarity. :)Gertrudes said:truth seeker said:Perhaps you've been a mother to someone or several someones (not necessarily in the form of a child) and don't even realize it? :)
Quick question truth seeker, is your question directed to me, Ailén, or all of us in general?
Gertrudes said:Just to let you all know that we are getting married this year on the 12th of August :D
We have just been to Portugal and found our place, an old farm that has been beautifully recovered so as to conserve its walls made of old stone, wooden ceilings, and surrounded by gorgeous fields. And because it's sort of in the middle of nowhere, it is affordable and secluded.
Thank you so much again everyone, your contributions were crucial, that last sword that helped slaughter the cow. We are VERY happy with our decision, it "feels right", so to say.

It is alot like with how people will mishandle money and their reasoning.Laura said:That you felt "compelled to comment" is interesting. You might want to read "The Adaptive Unconscious" thread in the psych section to better understand the reasons we make up for what happens to us, what we do, etc. As my mother was wont to point out, making a baby is NOT a miracle. Critters of all sorts do it all the time; you do the wild thing and don't take precautions, that's what happens a good percentage of the time. So there certainly ought to be more to the situation than just "oops! I'm pregnant! Must be intended/fated/meant to be!"
Gertrudes said:Oh, we won't be moving there, (it would be great if we could!) but that's just our marriage location. We're in UK and will stay here for now.
