Things to do after engagement

Mate. If someone took me to Ikea and bought me a $1 hot dog and something to sleep on other than the floor, I’d marry them right then and there in the checkout aisle.

In the car going on my first ever trip to IKEA.. so excited

It’s an awesome date. Its perfect for walking g and talking. There’s plenty of things to start a conversation or to interact and explore for both people who know each other well and those just getting to know each other, you likely won’t spend much money, you get to find out things about their taste, style, and lifestyle- those things aren’t just good to gauge long term compatibility but also can give you clues to what other things they might like based on the types of colors, patterns, materials, and other aesthetics and features that they gravitate towards. There’s lot s of opportunity for jokes and horseplay, but you also get to see them around crowds when they’ve been walking around all day- so you can get a glimpse at their worse side. As a bonus, you can see if they enjoy themselves. People can not have fun doing anything. We make our own good times, some things are easier to enjoy than others, but it’s a personal trait if we are able to make mundane things fun.

On the one hand, their meatballs are fucking top. On the other hand, the person I'm with would probably never want to see me again because of the sheer amount of terrible puns I'd make from Ikea's product names.
