Hi, I'm Margie and I'm a co-dependent.  Sorry, I had to do it! I'm 23 years old (24 on December 9th). I have 2 sisters (ages 26 and 41) and 1 brother (age 10). I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from West Liberty State College.... which I don't use. Origingally, I'm from Wheeling, WV but now live in Huber Heights, OH. I have 2 cats (Frisky and Mini) and some goldfish and parakeets.
On May 1, 2004 I married an idiot.... Brad. I had a GORGEOUS wedding with all my friends and family. I couldn't have asked for anything better. It was a dream come true... except for the man. After 6 months of marriage, Brad cheated on me and left me for this other woman. My divorce to him was just finalized this past October.
In January of 2005, I met a man named Jerry. He's so wonderful... though we have our problems sometimes. He has a 9 year old son... who I also have problems with sometimes. We moved in together in March, were engaged in June, and also got pregnant in June!  We were planning on getting married December 17th, but I decided that I wasn't ready to jump into another marriage just yet. We're now waiting until after the baby (Natalie) is born to even discuss getting married.

Lol, your so funny Margie, I love how you are able to see the positive in the situation! And from the pics you posted on the old site, it really was a gorgeous wedding...and from the stories I've read about Brad, he really was an idiot!

Engagement Story
I guess I could add this... after all this is a wedding website! lol
Jerry and I had a GREAT night planned. I had won a bet (I think it was who would win the NCAA basketball championship) and wanted the MOST romantic evening he could think of. A few weeks later, I saw that Oklahoma was coming to our local theater. I've ALWAYS wanted to see that live, so I mentioned it to Jerry. Low and behold, he listened and got tickets!
We researched resaurants and found one that looked pretty fancy-shmancy... even has a dress code! Jerry made reservations there.
So... the weekend arrives... Jerry comes home from work on Friday. Instead of driving his ol beat-up 1987 Ford F-150... he's got a GORGEOUS 2006 Dodge Charger (fully loaded with a V8 hemi I might add). He comes in the house, I'm sitting on the couch. He gets down in front of me on one knee and hands me a box. I open the box... earrings. He's such a goober.
Saturday comes. We get all gussied up and get ready to go out to dinner and to Oklahoma.
We get to the restaurant... let me tell you... that place was AWESOME! VERY expensive, but well worth it. I had Lobster Crepes that were to DIE for! We ate... then right before dessert, Jerry excused himself to go pee. When he came back, he turned my chair around towards him... got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Of course, I said yes and we kissed and hugged and kissed and hugged. It was lovely. The waiter bought out our dessert and with it had 2 glasses of champagne that the people at the next table had bought for us. They toasted us and said Congratulations... the woman was crying!
We finished our meal and headed off for the show... saw the show, came home, and... well... you know.
The next weekend I got pregnant while camping. lol
This is when we actually got married!!!

hehehe... yeah. We went camping for Father's Day weekend with a bunch of his friends and family. If they only knew what went on in our tent.
(And... just so there's no question... Bub had his OWN tent.)
