We're getting married at the end of the month and she pretty much hates my interest in the hobby. That said, she will occasionally play a few games herself and she seems to appreciate that our friends enjoy them when we have people over. I think part of the problem is that i got my first machine right as we got engaged so, to her, every dollar and minute I've spent on the hobby is somehow a dollar or minute "taken away" from the almighty-wedding-that-will-be-the-most-important-event-to-have-ever-happened-or-will-ever-happen-in-not-only-our-lives-but-the-entire-course-of-human-history. Yes, she's one of those.

Edit: perhaps i was being a bit unfair. She actually didn't have much to say when i bought a ColorDMD recently after i paid most of the wedding vendors' final payments, so that's something. She does seem to like the machines sometimes, she just hates when i work on or talk about them at all so I'm just hoping she'll mellow out after the wedding stress wears off.

I'd be more worried if we didn't have so many other hobbies in common. Also, my friends all like her and approve. Also, we do have a prenup.

Thanks!

Oh, she's far she's far from a "bridezilla." Believe me I'd be running in the other direction if i thought that for a sec
I'm certainly not super-wealthy and the wedding isn't really that elaborate actually, its just really (really) important to her. You know, she's dreamed about every detail since she was a kid and so on and so forth. At the end of the day, I'm marrying my best friend and that's cool. It just happens that my best friend is prone to want to over-romanticize a single day and doesn't care much for pinball.....yet

That said, you guys who's spouses help you repair pins are oh so lucky. And, for those who've said something like he/she "doesn't care" or "doesn't notice when i get a new one," are all of your pins hidden in the basement or something? What's your secret? Gradual initiation into pinball like a frog in a slowly heated pot of water?
