Dude...Thank you very much for saying that.

I didn't know whether your average type person who didn't know me would like it but I've heard a lot of positive things from people so far.


I know it's shameless but If you can send it to anyone you think will like I'll really appreciate that.

Congrats and great video, babycake.

I know how you feel...I had the whole thing planned out and ended up doing it spontaneously a couple of days early because I couldn't wait. :D

Re: I just got engaged! Check out the video!
 

Yes the video is well done. It's nice that you'll have this to look back on years from now.

LOL...yeah I got the babycake at work a lot. :) It funny we don't use that with company around so that is one of the things I think is cool because it's candid. Thanks for the congratulations, Buster.

[quote=dmek25;553411]congrats on the engagement. you have a beautiful wife to be. and the video will be a great reminder of a very special occasion. and i loved the part where you were giggling like a little school girl. good stuff[/quote]

+1 on the good looking wife part; I had to double take on it at first because the girl looked almost exactly like a girl that I dated in Manassas, but your woman looks a lil taller and has a different name

how old are you guys and what schools did you go to if you don't mind me asking? I went to HS down in southern VA so I wouldn't know you, just curious

I'll pass that along to her she'll be flattered. I'm 29 and she is 24. I went to the esteemed Osbourn City, not Park, and she went to a private high school.

We've been dating for 5 years so this proposal was past due. She knew I was going to propose but I was taking so long that she didn't know when it happen.

[quote=Skinny Tee;553272]Uh-oh...we got a Manassas boy in the house! I just noticed your location after you listed the detailed information that only a Manassas resident would know.

Next thing I know you'll be posting a picture of a grassy area near Manassas Park that has a chalk outline of severed male member. :)

Winwood is kind of dissing Manassas in the song too because he's saying that he is in the low-life when he's around the Manassas sites. He's a long way aways from any kind of "High-Life" now...that's what you get for ragging on Manassas Winwood![/quote]
Wow buddy I'm very impressed with your style and technique for poping the question.

My sister in-law lives in Manassas, and it is very beautiful up there. However, could you please tell the local planners that you guys already have plenty of strip-malls. Those things are ruining Manassas's picturesque beauty, and rich history.

CONGRATS MAN!!! Am I invited to the wedding?

Everybody is INVITED!!!!.....provided they can bring their own chairs, plates, appeitizers, entrees, loaded ipod and one square yard of space to celebrate with us. :)

Actually we're pretty quiet people. This is definitely the loudest and public thing that I've done. Our wedding won't have more than 60-80 people in it.

Nearly all of that has been gone for years.

The City of Manassas has done a good job of comprehensive planning to keep things historical but Prince William County has been in the pocket of developers for years and what many people call "Manassas" is under their control. The 234 corridor from the city to the battlefield, for instance, is a disgrace. That's why it was laughable to me when there was this tremendous outrage that the "battlefield" was being defiled or whatever by the Disney Park when that fight was basically lost years before. It's a sprawl nightmare to within 1000 yards of where Jackson and his VMI cadets made their rebel stand and none of those people had boo to say about it because it wasn't on their geographic side. In fact, if the battlefield wasn't there, they would have been more likely to speak out earlier because the battlefield acted as a buffer, protecting their horse farms and country estates from the encroaching middle class. Bottom line is that they wanted to stop growth, which is fine, but their use of the battlefield and the support that came with it was hypocritical, IMO.
