I'm going to ask Lisa to marry me this week.
We've already talked about it, and we've even talked to the kids about it. She's just been waiting patiently for me to pull my head out of my ass and man up.
I'm still scared to death, but I've finally come to peace with all that there is to come to peace with. Pretty much. :)

I love this woman like none other, and she feels the same about me. We think alike, laugh alike, and love alike. All under God.
We're thrilled about the thought of growing old together, and enjoying our one life.
Prayers that I don't lose my nerve, k guys? :D

Sounds awesome. Just make it as cheesy as possible, so when someone asks how you proposed, she either has to lie, or be completely embarrassed.... All in good fun, of course. ;)
May you both have a great life as partners in marriage.

That's exactly what I was thinking, Pete.
I have a good idea based on the stuff we like to do together. I think it'll work out real well. We love our simple pleasures, so I thought I'd combine a few and see if I can manage not to screw it up.
Thanks for the wishes. :tu

Dan, I don't think there's ever been two people that are happier.
She is an absolutely amazing woman from every single direction. I still look at her with cow eyes when she isn't looking. I was waiting to see if that'd go away after awhile, just to see if I was just in love with being in love. It's not wavered a bit. It's just gotten worse. :D

Congratulations brother. I too was recently engaged and just tied the knot a month ago after spending almost 5 years with the woman of my dreams. Some would say I waited too long, but we've made it past all the BS that usually plagues young married couples, we're financially sound, and we're truly committed to each other.

I have probably never been happier than I was on our wedding day. I hope you enjoy your day just as much. Congrats again!

No I didn't Alex, not yet. I thought to stop at his house on the way in, but it hadn't occurred to stop and see him today, so I didn't call ahead. I'd planned to talk to him Sunday at family day.
They only live maybe 45 minutes away, so I might hop on the bike and ride over before Sunday.
He's awesome. I absolutely love Lisa's whole family, especially her Dad. I know he'll be surprised I asked, being he gave her away a long time ago. But she's his daughter, and I think it's very important. I know that I'd expect the same, even though kids today probably don't know any better. :)

Always ask. No matter the situation. Unless of course the Father isn't around. It's a motion of Respect and I'm sure it's appreciated by all Fathers.

I told Alina's father how much I loved his daughter and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her as her husband, if that was alright with him.


And I know three young men that "know better" and will do what's right when it's their time.

Wishing you and Lisa the best that life has to offer.

I finally got a chance to ask Lisa's Dad for her hand. He was very happy I did. He has four girls and they've all been married more than once, except one. He said that Frank was the only other guy that asked. He's married to the only sister that's only been married once. I figure that's a real good sign that we have a good start. :)
I asked Lisa to marry me, she said yes, and she loved the ring.

We talked a out the wedding yesterday. It will either be this year or very early next year.
It appears it has to go to committee. Lisa's Mom, Aunt Beverly, and her sisters are in charge of blowing it up.
I get the sense we'll be having a large scale full blown affair. That makes me happy. I didn't do that the first time around and neither has Lisa.
I thought it was cute that it's already taken on a life of it's own. Thank God we have lots of girls to help make this happen, I'd probably get married at Applebee's.

Update:
I asked Peter to pick out some good wedding cigars for me, and he came up with some really good ideas. It looks like H Upmann tubos. That'll make it easy to make special stick-on wedding bands for them.
I also thought if folks carry them away, they'll last a good while without getting ruined or going to crap, that way they can enjoy them later.
I was thinking that RyJ tubos would look pretty, too. I just don't know how the prices run.
I guess I'll have to get to shopping. :tu

Lisa and I have been talking, and it looks like we'll be getting married before the end of the year. My best buddy who is a preacher will be doing the ceremony. Likely on the beach in North Carolina.
We'll drive down, get hitched, hang around a bit, and get back up here.
I have no clue how we'll work it out, but that's why she's the brains of this operation. :D
All the prayers you can muster would be a huge blessing to us right now.

No, we're gonna do the wedding up here now. UB, my buddy who's marrying us, wanted to come up here (from NC) with his wife. They're going to come stay with us for a week or so.
Our "getting married" date moved from New Year's day to January 3rd, just because of everyone's schedules. That's subject to change as well.
It isn't all completely fleshed out yet, but I'm sure it'll come together just fine. :)

Scott, after so many years of shooting weddings, I have seen every tux you can name.
For me, only one look to go with.
Get a traditional double breasted, black tux, with black bow tie, with white shirt and black studs.
Traditional James Bond type look and you can wear a double breasted well based on your weight, the last time I saw you.
Nothing classier than that look.

While the Mr. Peanut look, and whatever Carlos said are totally awesome ideas, I went with the Tuxedo 400.
I picked it because it's the very first one I saw when we went in the store, and Frank designed it. I got a purple vest and tie, it looks totally pimp.
While I was there I had Frank give me the 30 second tour of the factory. I now know what 30,000 jackets look like. Add all the other ****, and I was pretty overwhelmed.
Frank also has a Shelby GT 350 in the front window. His Dad is/was buds with Carrol Shelby, he has #2. It's gorgeous. I wish I had time to get pics.

Lisa is at the gown place right now. I'm typing while she gets her gown. Then back over to Frank's tomorrow morning for alterations (if she finds something that suits her), then to the airport after lunch to pick up the pirate that's marrying us.

More importantly, I'm gonna get some donuts when we get outta here. I forgot to eat yesterday, and so far today I haven't had anything either. I can't think of anything more perfect than donuts, I'm freakin starved.

Lance, UB worked on a pirate ship down in Key West for awhile, among a bunch of other stuff he's done. He was in Pirates of the Carribean III, too. I don't know nothin about pirates, but I guess they're all wearing eye liner now. Except the Somalian ones. Lots of them are wearing bullet holes nowadays. :D
My new brother-in-law owns American Commodore Tuxedo, which is a great big distributor/chain around here. If I need a tux, I can get whatever I need whenever I need it. I don't see me needing one very often.

Congrats again Scott! So are all your kids living with you now?
Michael, Rebekah is moving out here on the 15th, and she'll be here for good. We just registered her for school here. Cole and Angela split time between here and their Dad's house who lives real close. He's a great guy. Last night when I saw him I told him Rebekah would be staying with him on our "off days", and he'd honestly be perfectly cool with it (although she won't be staying there, of course). He's a damned good Dad, and I really like him. We all do all the kid's events together and we have a good time every time. I couldn't be blessed with a better ex-husband, I only wish my ex-wife was half the human.
Nikki lives in a dorm nearby, she goes to school at Kent State. Rob is just her most recent boyfriend, but he's been around a long time. Hopefully he'll stick, but you know how those odds go. :)

The Mrs. And I had to go get married again on Friday.
Turns out Ohio is one of the few states where you have get licensed and married in the same state. You can't carry your license out of state, and you can't bring a preacher from out of state.
We kind of knew that from some verbage in the certificate stuff, but moved ahead anyways. We went and had the judge here do a quickie ceremony and got our license re-rubber stamped.
So now we have two anniversaries, the 3rd and the 14th. We wanted the 1st or 11th, so we were close both times.
At any rate, we finally got it done.

We're almost finished with the monumental task of moving my daughter and I here to Ohio. With luck, we'll have that done in the next couple weeks. My health kind of went to **** the last couple days, but it's coming back around. I have a doctor appointment back there tomorrow, so I'll haul back another load while I'm back there. :tu
