Um, if I'm not mistaken, according to official TT rules, mention of a ring and/or fiancee requires presentation of photographs of one and/or both items.









Also, CONGRATS!!!!

He totally suprised me, I wasn't expecting this until mid-May or June. He even called my father to ask for permission, and my whole family and his whole family knew, as did the people we spent the weekend with! He made me go for a walk around the "lake" (more like a pond) and back into the woods behind the lake, where he got down on one knee. It was so wonderful, and really surreal at the time!

Super cool smileygirl. Reminds me of when I proposed to my wife, took her for a walk into the snowy woods. It was cool. Its our 4th anniversary today in fact! Although it seems like it's our 20th (what? it's only been 4 freakin years??)

Congrats.

Nah, probably not. That would be an awful cruel joke!

Aaaaaaaah! I'm so happy for you! That's some glass cutter you're wearing on your hand! --tiny tip for large diamonds-- I often drive with my left hand at 7 O'clock. This is not a good idea when you're wearing nylons on your way to work... one sharp corner and you've put a BIG run in your pantyhose! Either that or don't wear short skirts. :o)

"Execellent . ..just a few more months and you can stop putting out!!!!!"..funny!

Congratulations! So, when's the wedding?

Yeah, that comment from Lee was pretty funny. Though, I don't think G would like that very much!!!

Sunshine, that's a great reason to NEVER wear nylons at all! Thus, the reason I own very few skirts, I guess.

Lizs, I already have a word file that records the event as well, what was said, who knew, what I felt, etc. This only happens once!!

Lyra, I finally got that Scorpio guy to commit! LOL!

Curahee, perhaps I should change my name to SEG! LOL!

OK, my sight has come back. After temporarily being blinded by that sweet assed ring, I'm now able to see again to type.

Amy, congrats! I'm sooo happy for ya. I can tell by that grin on your man that he is happy as can be, and rightfully so!

Now, I must record this hallowed event into the HMWH Club Hall of Hotties Bachelor Ledger.

Congratulations!

Get the dude involved in the wedding planning. I've been having a great time picking out flowers and stuff like that.

We're even gonna try and get the DJ to play Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" at the reception.

Anyway...

hey Smiley!!!

Congrats!!!!!!!! Hey, if you need help in wedding planning, I've attended or been to over 40 weddings (stopped counting at around 30... from the cheez whiz and club cracker affair to one with about 1000 in the Lansing Civic Center... :-)

I'm off during the summer, so if you're looking for inspiration or ideas, let me know... :-)

Right now, I'm planning my girlfriend's bachelorette party (I'm her matron of honor) and am doing an "Amazing Race" theme... :-) (see, I'm full of ideas!)

Best of luck to you both! We STILL need to get together for dinner sometime--maybe the 4 of us?!

NOOOO! Not my SMELLYGIRL!
(j/k.. haha)

Way to go Amy. I hope he's okay with the cats. If not, I'll have Gixmeaux give him a talkin' to... heh!

Wow. What cowinkydinks. The last time me and a gal took a walk around a lake, I, too, got down on my knees. Seems I remember something about a run in some pantyhose, too.

Surreal indeed!

Congratulations, Amy.

Thanks, Gojo! He'd prefer to get a dog and have it torment the cats, but he's OK with them. LOL!

RL - That's hilarious. I just e-mailed G about starting a DJ play list and to add that to it. That's just beautiful! And, he's the kind of guy who seriously wants to be involved in everything! He might just drive me insane by the time this is over! Yes, he'll want to help pick out flowers, and cake toppers, and will probably want to voice his opinion in the bridesmaid dresses. Oh, this will be so much fun!!

Buddha Bear, I love ya man. Thanks for noticing how sweet assed my ring is! LOL!!

Well he may have asked your father's permission but I don't remember him asking trailtalk for your hand.

Congratulations anyway.
