I actually think that getting engaged on Valentines is probably not the best move because it seems kind of cliche. As a guy, I can see the advantage to getting married on Valentines because it is kind of a 2 for 1. Yes, I know. I am a cad. I am extremely romantic and definitely do my part to support the Valentine industry. However, I also hope you are in a relationship where you get flowers more often than once a year or when you fight. Now, here is a couple breaking with my Valentine engagement taboo.
Howard Stern (the Howard Stern who is not a candidate to be a daddy. Well, actually I guess all men are candidates to be the daddy. But you know who I mean) got engaged to long-time girlfriend Beth Ostrosky. See, they have been dating 7 years and now they are engaged. Howard just bought himself like another 7 years. There is no wedding date announced, and I just don't know if Howard can pull that trigger again. I know he wants to, because he does not want to lose Beth, but I am sure he is really nervous. They are definitely a real couple and will be together a VERY long time.
my anniversary was 5 days ago, does that count?
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by this because Howard had oft stated that he doesn't want to get married again and he definitely doesn't want any little Howards popping up soon (although he does have two grown-up daughters--he just doesn't want any more kids--and I admire and respect him for saying that). But he and Beth have been going strong for a long while--so maybe this is his concession to Beth--not to lose her? I will see if and when Howard makes the plunge--it might be another seven years, you're right.
ReplyDeleteThey seem like a really compatible couple. The only time I've seen her, is on that tv show about poker (and Dennis Rodman grabbed her ass), but she seems like a sincere, sweet lady.
ReplyDeleteDon't do it, Howard!
ReplyDeleteDon't do it, Howard!
ReplyDeleteWas a Stern-o-phile until he moved to satellite. Got to buy me some Sirius. I am not surprised this happened. He probably didn't think she's be around this long, so, he's moving to the next step. And I know people who get engaged and three months later its over...
ReplyDeleteAnd most importantly, EL - be my Valentine??? Pleasee?
And ignore Hez's pleas to be HER Valentine....

Beth and Howard: CONGRATULATIONS!! I saw this coming with your "softening" of the subject over the last year. Howard, I love you! May your blessings be many. P.S. IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN SIRIUS YET, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE MISSING...... (dumb shits)
