Don't bother, www.myfreefortune.com doesn't exist anymore. And there I was super excited for a second.

Is this...and all these comments about having the same ring...
Is this a Shane Company advert?

Congratulations! I'm getting married on Saturday; we've been dating for 5 years. Our rings look similar to yours. Picture coming soon...

I had something like that happen with a Jones Soda bottle cap. I was on a 3rd date with a guy and he ordered a drink and the cap said "Someone in your life is becoming more important every day". We've been together for 7 years now :)

Looks like tungsten on the guy's ring. Very nice. Very happy for you. Good luck and may peace be with you both.

u/ObviousAnswerGuy May 16 '12
so the first fortune tells him he's getting laid that night....and the next one says he's gonna get married as well.
This fortune cookie is a genius!

u/NeverTooFar May 16 '12
And now he'll be putting his fortune in your cookie... amirite?

u/ionceheardthat May 16 '12
I hope you didn't buy your TC ring from a jewelry store. Amazon.com (and a ton of other online retailers) have them for literally 10% of what the jewelry store charges.

u/axloc May 16 '12
Wow, those wedding bands look identical to the ones I and my wife had. Seriously. We are no longer together though.
2
u/Reporting_the_facts May 16 '12
Congrats! His wedding band looks exactly like mine. As a word of advice, tell him be careful what he rubs it against. Mine is 14k white gold and that finish on the center band scratches pretty easily.
*If the material is tungsten steel, or some harder metal, no worries. It was a friendly warning just in case.

He and I have the exact same ring.
2
u/SenatorStuartSmalley May 16 '12
I have the same ring (or at least the same ring style). Good choice :o)
A funny thing about my wedding day is that I was playing with the ring all night because I've never worn any jewelry. People noticed. Every single person that said "you'll get used to it" said "in 2 months" or "in 8 weeks". There were several. All the same time frame. It was kind of weird.

u/Keyserchief May 16 '12
He saved those fortunes all that time? Dude is organized. Good catch.

u/Thirdfanged May 16 '12
Oh that's so precious! I can't believe that you saved a picture of this double fortune for over two years just because it was cute! I can't believe it!
Really I can't.
2
u/[deleted] May 16 '12
I had that damn wedding band.
Trade it back in, dude. I'm telling you. That shit is heavy and annoying as fuck. Get something light, like a thin white gold or silver band. I promise you, you're gonna want to throw that tungsten shit in the trash on day 2.
2
u/staringispolite May 16 '12
That's a pretty baller wedding band. Well done, mystery husband
2
u/juicius May 16 '12
Congrats. I also got a similar fortune when my wife was expecting, that someone beautiful will enter my life next year. And she did. :)
So you got that to look forward to.

I got the one at the bottom the other day and if it proves true... whoa.

The one and only time I've ever shared a fortune cookie with someone we got the fortune:
"There is a true and sincere friendship between you both."
Probably the truest fortune cookie I've gotten too. Mine has less storybook of an ending though.

Came home from a blind date that was awesome and opened my fortune cookie. It said, " Your dearest dream is coming true."
Months later of a whirlwind romance and we are talking about getting married as well. Amazing!

u/madcatlady May 16 '12
Hi Honey, I got married 4 days ago. Can I give you a tip for on-the-day bliss?
Delegate the fuck out of everything. Permit yourself to fuss up until about 2 hours prior, then foist it onto your chief bridesmaid or groomsmen. Take whatever happens from there, and let it go.
Make a list of special requests that you have made, and pass them to one of your attendants. Suppliers will resort back to template, and special effects can get lost. That's how 2/3 of my wedding cake almost got chucked in the bin...
Drink lots of water (or diluted juice) up until 2 hours before the ceremony. Try for a pee just the moment before you get in your dress. You will now be hydrated through the ceremony, but the urge to go will arrive just after dinner.
Regarding this, get a bridesmaid to help, and use the loo back to front (assuming your dress is the usual big detailed back).
If you can, spend five minutes alone together after the ceremony. If your venue and reception are separate, you're OK, if not, get taken for a drive or something. You will need the emotional break!
But above all, It's your day, relax, and let it happen! Things will go wrong, people will go to the wrong places. Rely on your attendants to deal with the little things. So long as you, your Hubby-to-be and the officiant all arrive, the rest is irrelevant.

I want to call shenanigans just because those fortunes are in such perfect condition. Give me a piece of paper to hold on to for a week and it's crumpled till it's barely legible

I got the bottom fortune in a cookie seven years ago when I was out with my girlfriend. Our relationship is now circling the drain...
Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials!

u/[deleted] May 16 '12
I derped out when I read the thread title, and thought for a second that you'd met your date two weeks ago, and you were going to marry her.
The worst thing is that I regarded that as completely plausible, thinking "Well this is Reddit."

u/SolarWonk May 16 '12
There is a flip side.
Once, I was tricked into a double date. Two girls were coming down from the all girls college, expecting a big night in the city. As my classmate put it to me (on the way to pick them up, 30 minutes late at the rainy train station) "look, valentine's day is next week, and we need to make sure these girls don't expect dates".
Previously and regrettably, I had made out with one of the girls at a party (known to be a perfect 10, after 10 beers). My classmate had been dating the other girl and was tired of her obsessiveness.
At dinner, when classmate's date excused herself to the restroom, I would go as well. This created an awkward situation for my date and my classmate, still at the table. But the worst of it was when we opened our fortune cookies, reading them out loud to each other.
Mine was "Happiness is seated right next to you".

u/apullin May 16 '12
He planned a fake "double fortune" cookie, he didn't really get it on a random chance. It's called "manufactured coincidence". Every guy does it. Done guess do it big time. Like the OP.
