No more firearms

I haven't gotten married yet! July 23 is the date

It is starting to get real close! I will definitely post a few pics on here though....especially of my cake topper, which I think you guys would appreciate

[SAR_boats]

Congrats on your upcoming marriage, sorry you chose to sell your guns, and at least you had the presence of mind to keep your 12ga and 1911. I wouldn't have made the same choices, but people do crazy things for love. All the best.

LuLu, i'm impressed that you've paid for the wedding before it happens. so many do not! remember: Red and a bunch of us are looking forward to pictures: to quote the guys elsewhere,

doing a replica of your shotgun and/or 1911 for the cake topper?

Congrats on the impending nuptials! Hope that things aren't too frantic in these these last few weeks before the big event.

After your vent, there were some posts from women who've parted with firearms in the past, so you are not alone. You still have some firearms, someday there will be others. In the meantime, you and your future husband have a wedding to celebrate with friends and family!

Congrats on the wedding!

We all have to make sacrafices for the things we care about most. I know it's probably hard but it will be worth it!

Plus looking for new toys after the wedding & honeymoon will be awesome I'm sure!!

Congrats, but WOW. Feeling your pain.
If i had to choose between a big wedding and my guns, I'm 99.9% sure you'd find me in Vegas!

Yeah, I would have to agree with this.

Congratulations!!

Ha! Definitely not ditching "the guy". He is a fellow calgunner as well so shame on you! Lol just kidding. We are both SAD that we have to sell the guns. But weddings are a one time magical event, and I am pretty sure guns will still be here in 3 months...so I am good! At least I will still have 2 guns to have fun with in the meantime.

Pawn your guns.

First off, I am a Father of 2 kids, including a 17 year-old daughter. I am very interested in the choice you made to put your Wedding above your guns. I think it is admirable.
I made the mistake a couple of weeks ago of posting about how proud I was of my daughter for going to her Prom less than 3 months after she had Jaw Surgery. She put vanity aside, got herself a ride on a Limo Party Bus and had a great time with 25 of her friends.
The replies got so out of hand that one of the mods deleted the entire thread. I cannot tell you how mad I was when that happened.
I have to remind myself that a lot of guys on Gun Forums are 'Socially Challenged'. Look at how many threads get started by single guys on a Friday or Saturday night? Why are they on CG and not out on dates? I think the answer is pretty obvious.
You made a good decision. I have sold about 2/3 of the guns I have owned over the years. I have only kept the ones I really liked. In the end, I could be very happy with only a few. Your Wedding memory will last much longer than any of the guns you are getting rid of.
Good luck.

At 17 let's hope that alcohol and other drugs were not involved...

Congratulations! Do what you need to have the wedding you want. You can always buy another AR (or perhaps buy back the one you sold).

Why do people think that weddings need to cost so much? A wedding should be a covenant between two people (hopefully with God in the mix.) Instead far too many look at them as some sort of huge shindig with zero spiritual aspect. That's why more than 50% end in divorce.

In my church it costs a parishioner next to nothing to be married including the use of the grand parish hall for the reception. A wonderful, formal BBQ (with china and cloth napkins) runs about $8.00/head -- the people that do it charge only for the cost of the food. Throw in a cake and some champagne and a bit of printing and it should be a done deal.

No idea why you brought this up, but I'll play. It is not hope that we rely on, it is planning;
1) Professional driver with Class B license and passenger endorsement at the wheel.
2) Bus departs from a house where 26 sets of parents are waiting with the kids.
3) School chaperones at event are screening kids for signs of intoxication.
4) Numerous sets of parents meet the bus at end of evening.
5) Kids return home to waiting parents at end of night.

The kids have a better chance of using booze and drugs on any Summer day while parents are at work. Let them have a good time at their Prom.

For some people, getting married is a big deal. Some dream of having a beautiful dress, beautiful decor, and lots of beautiful sun. A handsome man to walk to, and etc.

Its a beautiful thing really. Cause ALOT of people dream of it their whole life. Nothing wrong with it. For others, a simple ceremony and etc is fine too.

Its just what that particular person wants. Its not the literal dollar bills that matter, its the quality and beauty, the attained and put together effort and end result/presentation, that matters. It just depends on the person. Please don't make it seem like something shallow. Getting married is a big deal, God involved and all. But some people envision that once in a life time chance to have everything so matched up to what theyve dreamed of, forever ago. To some it may not matter, to others, its everything, and only happens once.
