How will Bubbles propose?

Is it cold in here?:

They have made a commitment, more so than any other unmarried couple in the strip. Bubbles used the word "irrevocably" to describe the change in their lives. They have declared it permanent.

It's not how long a couple has been together, it's how far they've moved in that time. A Marten/Claire or Dora/Tai marriage, that would be premature, even though they have had much more calendar time.

I can’t believe I of all people am saying this...but...I think talking about marriage is jumping the gun just a touch.

fayelovesbubbles:
Also, who’s to say Faye won’t propose?

zisraelsen:
This feels like the flipside of the coin to the "What happens when Faye dies?" discussion that was happening in the comics thread a couple weeks ago. Way too early to even consider it, though admittedly this is the happier of the two questions to ask.

Though if we want to talk about it anyway just for kicks, my vote is that she'd just list to Faye why it would be advantageous for them to be married, which would prompt Faye to be like "Are you proposing to me right now?" which would then prompt much venting from Bubbs.

Tova:
This could be the most surprised I've ever felt in these forums. How about that?

They've just made a commitment to each other, so why would they even feel compelled to dive immediately into marriage? Do they even believe in the relevance of marriage?

I'm fairly sure that they are aware that their emotional commitment to each other doesn't guarantee a lifetime of happiness together. Even Faye said, "It's early days, but we're a couple." There's nothing wrong with this. They're going to be taking things one day at a time. There are so many things for them to work out as they settle into the relationship, and I'm looking forward to watching them unfold. Both of them still have ongoing issues they're wrestling with, and they will be working together as well as living together. Faye will want to break this to her mother and hopefully win her approval. And of course, neither of them have experience of this kind of relationship before. This is just off the top of my head.

And then beyond all that, as fayelovesbubbles said, the idea that Faye wouldn't propose first is speculative at best.

But really, there's no rush. They have their lives ahead of them. I think it behooves them to take it nice and steady.

We should do the same. There are so many aspects of this new relationship we could be discussing. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
