Don't get engaged.

Wait.

Dang.

Lol

prenup

:)

I don't think money will be an issue, her family is pretty loaded and she does okay financially and so do I.

Yeah um... been married for a long time and I'm not a fan. Just make absolutely sure she's the ONE. If you are not 110% sure of that don't get married.

If she is, then congrats and good luck... the only relationship advice I have is learn to compromise.

We both compromise pretty well.

The night we got engaged we did our business, then I went out with the guys with no nagging, then came home and got the business again.

You think that was a trap and it'll never happen again?

Being engaged is great! I have proposed to 6 different women in my life. Only went down the aisle once! You only get a lot of bad feeling when you break an engagement rather than a messy divorce. (Of course, your out the ring, if you break it off. Still cheaper than a wedding!)

I'm under the impression her parents are footing the bill for that

Lots of things will never happen again ;)

Congrats. Show some interest in the planning phase and don't just go the whatever you want route. For me, I made a total blast out of the whole deal. When we registered I was cracking the whole crew up with what gifts we could get. From getting a spot for the ceremony to catering my own rehersal dinner etc, I just made it fun.

Most women see this in a total dif light then men. Think her bowl game and NFL playoffs together.

I can't say it enough. Just have fun during the whole process. It takes a real man to be married nowadays. Good luck

I'm reminded of a quote from "Friends".

(ugh, can't believe I'm using that, but it's relevant)

Monica asks Ross how long he's been planning his wedding. He says for a month or so. She responds that his fiance' has probably been planning it since she was ten years old.

Setting aside the source, that's actually a good thing to remember.

Adding in my own advice, in wedding planning there are always people who get offended because they make it about them. It's really about the bride and Groom, so if someone imposes too much, don't feel bad telling them to go nuptial themselves.

Looking back on it years from now, you'll feel much better saying "well, (so and so) got mad, but we had the wedding we wanted" than you will saying "we didn't have the wedding we wanted, but at least no one got mad".

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
