Gay engagement/ proposal?

[JustAGay]

im not inclined to do the romantic thing on one knee.


if you move in, even if your intention is not to immediately marry, still get the utilitie bills in both your names, get the rent agreement in both of your names and get two or more bank account/ credit cards in a joint account.
-get a general medical power of attorney signed.
-get a will for each party
-if you trust the other get a general power of attorney.

think through what YOU want to do, what is good for you. get an agreement signed before you marry and establish who owned what and where things go in a separation. For example who gets the pet, car. Request a cooling off period and arbitration. Once the divorce is final the other party cant come back in court, the agreement(s) are final.

NY allows marriage, not valid in other states.

Good points to think about. Its always nice to remember that not everything is always going to be roses and rainbows. Being a sound business mind is always important when incorporating others in ones life.

I also thought that Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, as well as the District of Columbia allowed for same sex marriage.

to prove domestic partnership, so you can get or supply health care insurance for example:
for sure the utility bills, rental agreement, at least 2 banks accounts

50% of marriages fail, think it through all the way.
or
the other 50% will be married to the same person for their whole life

I didn't realize there were such strict guidelines on health insurance coverage. It must vary by company because I know I worked for a major health insurance company previously and the guidelines to cover a domestic partner didn't seem quite so stringent.

Im engaged to my partner, i did it at christmas, i had invited my family and his, and he was clueless about it all, but i popped the question to him, and the first thing that got everyone was he broke into tears and the smile on his face as he didnt hesistate for one second to say yes &^.^ now just trying to get the money together for the wedding so to speak ^^

Congratulations!!!!!
