Convince the soon to be missus that you need to register at the LFS of your choice! Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!

Yeah, register at the fish store!!! She'll love that.

After all the headache about getting engaged, the last thing I wanna worry about is the wedding. If I have my druthers, I can put this off for a quarter.

Congrats man. Good luck! Later Ryan

Congrats!!!!!! So we all get to come crash, I mean be a witness the wedding right? LOL.

And details how did you ask her, where at etc?

[rude944]

We had our first date at the Portland International Film Festival, so I asked her at the Portland Art Museum. I wrapped up two champagne flutes in a box and gave her those, to throw her off. She opened the box, I produced a bottle of bubbly and she asked what should be the toast. I replied with my written Robert Browning "grow old" speech and produced my two months salary.
Then the crying ensued. But we got drunk, so it was all good!!!
Rounded it off at first thursday, where I had attempted to assemble her friends for the unveiling.

Took months to plan all that crap, I was initially gonna do it 20 feet underwater in Hawaii, but that got too complicated.

Holy crap! You really put some thought into popping the question! That has a bit more finesse than my daring Jay to marry me way back when! laugh

You'll have to keep us posted on the wedding plans. If you went to such lengths to ask her to marry you, I can't wait to hear how you two kids are going to tie the knot!

perhaps I can convience her to get married underwater...

[rmhuntley]

that would be very cool. do they make white wetsuits?

[nu2reef-n]

Just don't forget that most often the worst comes before the better.

[rude944]

You said it. She's already looking at dresses!

[H20cooled]

Congrats Seth! Sounds like you had some fun with the planning.

The dress is the most important part...Finding the 'perfect one' (and, guys, there is a perfect dress for every woman) takes TIME. Then add on all the alterations, finding out it WAY more spendy then you thought...Fun times :)

[rmhuntley]

if I ever get married, its gonna be in jeans and a t-shirt(which means I'll probably never get married)

[rude944]

I'm headed to a wedding in June (the Hawaii trip) that is casual. No Jeans however. The thought of wearing Linen in Hawaii keeps me sane through all of this!

We've decided to not make any crucial decisions until June, tho. Allows us some time to think about options. I think she has already made a lot of the decisions, however. To be honest, I don't want to make any! I mean, think about it... I am marrying her because I think I found someone who I trust to make decisions for me. And that I love that she makes great ones. Or that I just love her.
But would you marry someone who makes poor decisions? J Howard Marshall married Anna Nicole, but that's notwithstanding... look at how much good that marriage created!!!

[nu2reef-n]

Have you seen Anna Nicole lately? I'll be up for that.
:P

[rude944]

Yeah, I saw her leaving the supreme court with a couple hundred Mill! BTW, no pre-nup over here!

[impur]

Shes prego too now.
