So, I got engaged.

[ComerPerro]

My girlfriend (who occasionally posts under the name Gilmore) actually proposed to me,

Naturally, I said yes. So I am a 24 year old guy wearing an engagement ring. Nothing flashy, titanium and looks pretty much like a wedding band.

We were going to spend the weekend in Atchison, KS (her hometown) at a bed and breakfast (well, we still are). But she was planning on asking me there, Saturday morning at breakfast.

However, the ring came today, and she got too excited and couldn't wait. So she went ahead and asked me to marry her.


Wedding isn't for a while, not till next October actually. But at least now we can plan and save money.


Anyway, here's a picture from about a year ago

I don't know if anything like that has been done here before. It'll take some thought but I'm sure we can figure something out. :)

Bill Maher isn't a fan of marriage, either.

To each his own.

No doubts, no regrets, and knowing me, some kind of flaming miracle.

36. Can we look forward to invitations?

I know a few DU'ers who would love to attend. In fact, they'd be downright pissed if they aren't invited.

And you know of whom I speak. :scared:

[ComerPerro]

40. of course, of course

[Mabus]

44. yay!

Of course, we'll (try to) behave ourselves.

[Mabus]

51. I charmed Jim Ryun yesterday

Okay, I had him in the palm of my hands for about thirty seconds before I let him have it.

I'll do better at your wedding so your family won't get worried about you. Just make sure your brother doesn't blow my cover.
