Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Twitch. Sounds like things are coming together very well.

The whole concept of boat purchases and marriage got me thinking.

I bought my first boat at more or less the same time I bought a wedding ring, immediately prior to proposal. As irony, more like simple odds would have it, I wound up proposing on a river as part of a ride in the aforementioned vessel. She said yes and I landed a steelhead on my first cast after having proposed. I took that as a sign.

The second, boat that is, came just prior to getting hitched. In the same vein as your purchase, I figured better get it now lest my dream boat be left unattainable post tying the knot.

I just pulled of my first post-marriage boat purchase and I have to say, it was painful, but not unsurvivable. Just took a little more explaining, justifying, spreadsheet work, and arm twisting as compared to the first couple.

May you both enjoy a long and enjoyable future together full of fond memories and good times.

All the best and good luck on the next boat
