Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 19, 2015

I doubt that’s what Val also said when she was first engaged to her first husband when asked by her dear sister Joan.

It all averages out to “Fine.”

I find it extraordinarily refreshing to find a female character who is reluctant at times about marriage. They’re usually portrayed as “husband hunters”. Women do have concerns about loss of autonomy, privacy, etc. when entering into a wedded state. It will be interesting to see the outcome of Val’s ambivalence as the engagement moves along.

Great simple word Val. I imagine most brides feel that way as planning a big day the ceremony is very short.

For SS I really will miss commenting. I will miss commenting on strips for the future. I will look at comics but will start getting busy.

Since we have no clue when the big day will take place. For me semester will be very busy.

Good luck with that, Kab.

Whatever you say Val.

Boy, Val, if you’re that ambivalent, maybe you shouldn’t be getting married. I had no qualms that I was marrying the right man (after 20 years of being single after the first disaster).

And even knowing he’s the right one it’s been a huge adjustment and sometimes very rough. 95% wonderful, for the last 11 years.

What am I saying…it’s a comic strip !!! Go for it Val. All will be great
