Finally did it... and I'm now officially engaged.
 

Well... I finally did it!

While in FL over the holidays, my girlfriend of three years and I stole some time away from my family and were strolling along Clearwater Beach at sunset - where I got down on one knee, presented my mother's engagement ring (we're having hers made), and asked her to marry me.

I snapped this pic (using a point and click) 15-or-so minutes after the deed was done.

Just announced it to her family over New Year's... so I reckon' it's kosher to go ahead and let those who care to take note of such things know.

I guess I gotta get used to referring to her as "my fiancee" now instead of "my girlfriend." :winkwink:

congrats dude!

Congrats D - all the best man!

Congratulations man...

LoL... thanks for all the congratulations (and other remarks :1orglaugh ), guys...

And for those still wondering... she did say "yes" - God help her.

Thanks, man. I'm turning 34 next week, and she's turning 30 (or, as she likes to say, "celebrating the first anniversary of her 29th birthday") in March.

We're not looking to have the ceremony for at least a year and a half... right now, we only know: sometime in Summer, and not this Summer. Figure the budget'll dictate the rest as we figure that part out.

congrats and all the best.

aw that's sweet!
congrats!

Bookmark this and come back in 5 years to let us all know how much your life sucks. Marriage is a fuckin trap. See when your not married you can get in a fight, go your ways for a week and then everything is back to normal but when you get in a bad fight when your married and take a week break shit is over. Dude your not married yet, don't do it. :2 cents:

congratz! :)

and even if he stays married, i predict that the sexlife will be over within the first year of marriage, and when his wife is having the first child... game over, then you are married to your right hand :) for life

Very awesome news, yo!

Drinks seem in order...:winkwink:

Hey congratulations! What a great New Year's to remember!

Congrats!




































:Oh crap:helpme:error

Congrats and welcome to hell ..

Just kidding!

If this is the first for both of you, I predict success.

My congratulations

Congrats dude. I am a big fan of Clearwater Beach, back in the day they had some nice hot pools there

Congrats..

congrats!

That's great. Congrats to You.

Congrats D!

Thanks, again, guys and gals. We both appreciate the positive vibe. :)

Yeah, it'll be the first marriage for both of us... like I said, essentially both in our 30's, together 3 years now, we've lived together for a year and a half, and have at least that long to go before we officially tie the knot.

If it wasn't for kids, who knows... but we're thinking kids are in our future, and - in my perspective, at least - a marriage seems the best environment to bring a child up in (not that others can't work).

And we love each other - most assuredly.

So, yeah... I predict great success, too. :thumbsup

My weekend plans just cleared up a bit, Jeff... so you, Nick, and the assorted Shane'sWorld/HushMoney peeps (as well as anyone else who's game in L.A.) should let me know if you feel like hitting a pub or five. :thumbsup

Congratulations on your engagement!

For the first year, every time you have sex, put a jellybean in a jar. After the year, each time you have sex, remove a jellybean, you'll never empty the jar.

Congratulations.

congrats :thumbsup

I'm happy for you.

Congrats to you :)

Congrats sweetheart!!! Don't listen to the nay-sayers ... marriage can be an amazing thing when you choose the right person. It doesn't sounds like your rushing it to be and it sounds very well thought out.

BTW, save big .. weddings are expensive as all hell. they have a 400% markup in that industry. If you need tips on how to save money on them, let me know. I bartered web site design with some of my vendors =)

Congrats again!!

xoxo,
Megan

Very Sweet ! Congrats !

Congrats and good luck, i whish you all the best for the future!

congo ratz

I might be doing the same thing sometime this year.

congrats....hope it works out!!!!

congrats!

don't listen to the naysayers. the only reason marriages don't work is if they are not meant to be or one or both of the people aren't putting any work into it. true, it does take work, but it is the most rewarding work i've ever done.

all the best!

And I thought you were smart ;-)

i thought you were gonna propose to her at a paintball outing bro?
heheeh...
Congrats bro!!!!!

This post made me all warm and fuzzy!

Let's discuss time/day/place that's good for you :thumbsup

Congrats to the both of you!:)

Awesome stuff man, congrat's !!!!! :thumbsup

congrats, best of luck :)
