Why didn't I think of that?! That's the most brilliant idea I've ever heard.

Congrats SS!

Congrats buddy!

Great to hear the good news. Good luck, and hopefully it'll be a good five more years until I make the giant leap.

Hey, that's a good idea... Her birthday is Dec 23rd too. So I could knock out the engagement, Christmas, and her birthday with one stone, literally!

In reality I'd get a pretty big eye roll if I didn't come through with any presents....

The thought doesn't count? I would tell you to put on your wifebeater and stand your ground but you probably shouldn't listen to me.

If I came through with a ring, presents more than likely wouldn't matter. But think of all the extra points I have the opportunity to gain if I do show up with presents also! I could cash in on those for a few years easily...

Re: Congrats to SmootSmack!!
 

I love ya Smooty... and you know but...
I qustion Her judgement in picking a skallywag like you.

When picking my wife now She was perfect except she would marry a guy like me. lol Almost like the old Grouch Marx joke "Why would I join a Club that would let ME be a member?"

lol

Congrats and add or keep GOD in yer Vow. It does make it stronger.

Make HER First.
peace

LOL...I'm pretty sure you only can cash those points in just once, twice max. After that it'll be back to "what have you done for me lately?", "do this do that," and "don't forget we're going to such and such function/place this weekend."

Re: Congrats to SmootSmack!!
 

Congratulations buddy!!

Wow... married life. Have a bachelor's party to remember!

Re: Congrats to SmootSmack!!
 

To remember? You never want to remember your bachelor party, that way you can't be held accountable for what happens...and then your boys will elaborate more and more over the years, and since you won't remember, it'll become legendary.

You'll have to knock out Christmas and her B-Day too...you'll be broke from the ring. :cheeky-sm


Wow...what a plan!

And THAT'S when I show up in the doorway with a wife-beater and a beer and say HELL NO!

But again, back to the topic of the thread, congrats SS. I wish you nothing the but the best in your engagement/marraige.
