Congratulations!!

But obviously a good thing I'm not married - I would have bought the bike without asking a husband's permission.

I pretty much do as I please with bike and tri purchases without spousal approval. She knows it's the one and only guilty pleasure I have in life so she's cool with it.

Man, I'm glad I read the whole thread and got to the awesome ending on page 3. While reading, I was formulating my "buy the bike" answer. You are a lucky guy. I was on the other side of the situation, and didn't buy the bike. I did my first triathlon on a Schwinn Varsity. Really. It took 4 wives and 35 years before I finally bought the bike. I'm glad you (she) bought the bike.

thought I'd give an update.

We talked it over, she said it was fine if I bought it. But there was some hesitation I could sense.

Fast forward 6 months when I'm about to pull the trigger- She says not to buy the bike and to wait till after the wedding.
Now obviously I was pretty bummed to hear this, but then I find out from my Brother in law (who knows bikes) she's been conspiring with him to actually buy me the bike as a birthday gift. Obviously though, she can't get it at the discount I can get- So eventually she tells me to buy it but she's paying for it.

TLDR: I am marrying an awesome woman.

I totally would have wrecked that whole happy-ending that you just earned yourself. Will I always be a selfish asshole? It certainly is looking like a "yes".
