Well, I guess anyone can get engaged nowdays...

No Love Child for you, eh?
KONG-ratulations!

WOW Matt congrats!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Congratulations, Matt.

Marriage is a wonderful thing. You always know who your date will be on Saturday night.

Congrats Matt!

Thanks Doc, Ramones, SS and VL! :D

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!! Congrats, man! Welcome to the crazy world of wedding planning!

Thanks Fiat! :D Well, we aren't getting married for at least a year. She wants a fall wedding, so it'll probably be fall '09. :)

Congratulations! So happy for you! :D

Congrats Matt! And as Fiat's dad would say, remember that there are three rings involved: first the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and finally the suffering ;)

Thanks hippie and otts! :D

Otts - Yeah, we're working on the engagement ring right now. I'm letting her pick it out. I figured that was the best way. As for the suffering, that happens from time to time already, so yay for future suffering! :lol:

From my experience, you'll be thankful for having a full year to plan. Sooooooooooo many more options when you book things ahead of time and there's lot of time to realize that it really is okay NOT to have a particular flower for the centerpieces when it would cost more than the meal itself! :lol:

And yes, Otts did quote my father correctly!

Congratulations

my baby is gettin married!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: I'm so proud!!! 8-)

fiat - Well, I'm not sure how much prep work it will take. We've already decided that it will be more of a celebration than a ceremony. So I don't know if we're gonna have things like centerpieces or maybe I'm being gullable...?

Thanks Fogey! :D

Thanks Nora! Your baby is in fact getting married. :D

The only advice I can give on that front is to make sure you two sit down and talk about this stuff. Doesn't have to be an "all at once" deal, but it's amazing how often something one person will take for a given with be completely off the other person's radar.

Meh, don't sweat it. Dude, you popped the question! Enjoy the afterglow!!! :mrgreen:

Woohooo! He's gettin' married!

Congrats Matt!

Tim and I are very happy for you.

fiatlux - Afterglow being enjoyed! :)

Thanks Aeryn! :D

Congrats, Matt! I'm really happy for you. Just some friendly advice from someone who has over twelve years of wedded bliss under her belt... Know that you will go through bad times (I'm afraid that's just life), but when things get bad, also know that with determination the two of you can get through it. Believe me, there have been times when I didn't think my husband and I were going to make it, but I love him more now than I did the day I married him. I say we're still together and happy because we both love each other so much. He says it's because we're both too stubborn to give up. And we're both right. Ok, thus endeth the speech. ;)

CONGRATS MATT!!!!!!

Woo and a very big, nay, humungus HOO!

Go Matt! Congratulations on asking. Very happy for you both. 8-) :D 8-)

So.....what does that make it now with the Hellmouthers???? All very disturbing really ..... I'm surrounded by married/marrying types :shock:

Thanks Val! :) Sage advice. ;)

Thanks Lone and Glori! :)

Congrats!

Congrats!!!

Sweet Moses, congratulations, dude! Just make sure your wedding song isn't Baby Got Back. Cos that's just awkward for everyone...props on the guts, man, poppin' dat question...

Thanks Jedi, Sweet and Tony! :D

Tony - Sweet Moses indeed. Aww....but I wanted that song! Actually, I think it's going to be "Sweet Caroline", 'cause we're just freaks like that. ;)

So I take it that Shame on a Nigga by the Wu Tang Clan is out of the question...?

just catching up here.. og I've been gone a while

congrats Matt!!!
