What Not to Say to Your Fiancée
[dc]T[/dc]his, save for the punch and black eye, is a True Story. I was chatting with Stephanie and mentioned how I had a great idea for a couples costume, now that we are engaged.
How I shared my idea is shown here verbatim. There are times I lack a filter, and while what I mean to say is not harmful, it is how I say it which does the damage (in this case, telling my fiancée she should dress up as the house from the Pixar film, Up).
Stephanie, to her credit, rolled with my stumble. She merely glanced at her sister and brother-in-law with a look which said, “You see what I signed up for?”
