Marriage is a binding, lifelong commitment to love, honor, and respect your partner - whatever ensues. The word "wedlock" derives from wedd (to pledge) and lac (to carry out an action), and it's probably wise to tread lightly until you're 100% certain your partner can make the easy transition to your wife. Give her time if there is any hint of uncertainty.

In ancient times, the bridegroom might have had to pay for a plot of land to the father of the bride. However, in this day and age, it's more about just showing that you're trustworthy, dependable, nice, and kind. Always be kind even when the father isn't so much. It'll win points. Your special time with your future wife begins when you allow her to become a solidification of your life together ? make this the time that you win her heart and mind forever.
