Love that...lol....I'll post however it goes down my friends.

Got married at 25 and just celebrated our 22nd anniversary. That was fast...

I'd echo Draugnar and others' comments and sum it up this way: happy marriages don't just "happen" - you do need to work at it. George Burns once said: "Marriage is what happens when you get out of bed." As long as you've got someone that you are willing to explore/travel/find common interests together, you're willing to devote time and energy to their happiness and you are sure that they will do the same for you, then you are golden. Well done.

It also helps if she's hot.

Proposal advice: don't hide the ring anywhere where it could get lost or she could ingest it. The bridal mags/sites are full of horror stories about botched proposals by guys who got too creative.

Even in my worst nightmares, I never thought I would sleep through Sandgoose's wedding. Guess you can't fight the timezones after all...

Your dad's a wise man, Sandgoose.

Good luck. Don't put the ring in the food.

It's done! She said yes!

Gratz!

Congratulations and well done!

Congratulations.

And in unrelated news, I'm coming up on my 41st anniversary of not having to give a shit about Jamie, that bitch in accounts payable, whether my sheets match my comforter matching my drapes, or the wacky escapades of whatever Kardashian found the most outre way to conspicuously consume this week. I plan on celebrating by having a giant fucking Manhattan and playing Red Dead Redemption until about 3 in the morning.

I'm just fucking with you sandgoose. Seriously, congrats on getting engaged, even if I can't see any advantages to it that can't be equaled by hiring a decent accountant.

Grats SG :-D Now where's that youtube link?

Congrats Sandgoose!

What an exciting and uplifting thread, loving somebody and offering them a partnership in marriage is such a great thing to do but one word of warning. As you grow older you'll change physically, mentally, psychologically and so will she. Mutual respect and love for each other will mean you give each other the space to grow, to change in that partnership. Learn to compromise, learn to accept your wrong sometimes and let her train you in certain aspects of life, you'll know which ones these are as she'll nag you about them until you learn.
And remember marriage is a work-in-progress and there's still work to do to create a good and balanced happy life.
And then if kids come along ....... now that's a whole different story, chuck the rule book out the window and start all over again !!
Good luck and enjoy the moment, I wish you both the very best :-)

I have to edit the video first so it will be uploaded in a couple days...BUT, if you all want to go see the Facebook diplomacy page and click on my profile, you'll be able to see the album as I have made it public! :)

Congratulations, and if you still feel the same way after 20 years, super-congratulations!

Congrats, Sandgoose!

If she is ok with your addiction to diplomacy, then she's the right one! :p

Your parents are going to seem a lot smarter now. ;-) But seriously, congratulations.

Provisional congrats - pix or it didn't happen.

Good work, Sandgoose.

note that it is still processing, you should see it soon! :)

And it's up!

It is indeed...enjoy everybody!!!!

nice Sandgoose, nice :p

LOL, how many webdip nerds did you ask to participate in this little proposal?

I think abge was there, thatwasawkward standing in the back with his bald head, Draugnar was the chubby guy with the camera towards the end, and PE was posting the pictures in the background.

I'm surprised I didn't see Mujus there with the Bible ready to marry you guys then and there or Thucy running around yelling memes as you proposed.

Anyhow, congrats goosy. Tie that knot.

Did you actually have that music playing in the store speakers, and redubbed on the video, or was it all mimed?
