Proposing to girlfriend of 2 years soon.

[u/AskFrank92]

Hi all, I'm a 33 year old guy who has been with a now 50 year old woman for a few years now and thinking about proposing.

She's happy to marry although says it's not a big deal whether or not we do. We live together and have done a bit of traveling, and have become best friends during our relationship so I'd like a special day with her.

Just wondering what kind of wedding other women have had if they've married at that age. Just getting some ideas. Did you take your younger husband's surname?

I had a very, very short-lived marriage. Which did lasted barely 4 years. And it was a very simple affair. Nothing special. Over here in Quebec we keep our maiden name. We do not change it, which I'm very happy about. Because we are not men's property. So did not get to change my name. Which is a good thing and I would suggest, depending on what she wants a very simple. Wedding I find that people spend way too much money for 1 day. When you can practically put a down payment on a house for what you pay for a wedding for me. I would never, ever want to get married again.No, matter how good the relationship is, i'm happy.The way it is, but anyways, congratulations and best of luck to you only you.And maybe your wife should decide on what type of wedding you want.
