I nearly shit myself.

I'm so happy for you.

And I hope this isn't a joke, I might cry.

Not trying to be a downer Tara, but how long have you been dating Zach? How well do you know him.

Otherwise, congrats. :)

He's been my best friend for the last 3 years, he knows me better than anyone else and says the same thing for me.

We've been dating only for a few months now, but I swear to God nothing has ever felt more right. As they say, when you know, you just know.

Will you be living in your parents basement or his? :P

We'll be living in either an apartment or house of our own, thanks.

Congratulations again, Tara. :)

Tara, I apologize for sounding negative. I only bring up these points because I care about you.
There is a HUGE difference between being friends with someone and having a relationship with someone. At the current time, you are still in the full-blown passion stage. As I have read in your LJ, your dating time has been exclusively occupied by expensive, elaborate dates and passionate sleepovers. You have yet to fight over anything, experience a lengthy separation or discover the bad side of each other. And there is one.

My mom has questioned whether, at 21, I am old enough to get married. She wonders if I know Rob well enough after only 5 1/2 years.

It's your decision, though. But when "nothing has ever felt more right," it usually means you haven't yet found out what is wrong about it.

He knows that I am a whiney bitch who needs reassurance and gets easily offended. I know that he basks in attention so much that I could puke, is stubborn as hell, and is overly zealous about politics.

We spend more time doing nothing than doing things, but he likes to take me out and show me a good time and buy me nice things since he can afford to sometimes. We've only gone out on "expensive dates" twice and we've never slept over at each other's houses.

We have had disagreements and hurt each other's feelings and been forced to work through problems maturely and resonsibly while listening to everything that the other says and keeping in mind how each of us feels.

I am now done justifying my relationship to you because I am fully aware of how ready I am for this. I am going to ask that you stop with these comments because I am sick of it.

Thank you have a nice day.

Deal. :)
