I just realized, mentioning it in another thread, that I never made a proper announcement for you clowns. Ahem… After 7 years of dating, the ever-wonderful **gooti** and I are getting married in October. I know, I know – I’m still surprised as many of you likely are. I don’t know how I pulled it off. Don’t ask for advice, or ask me how I did it. Magic. Smoke and Mirrors. Santeria. Blackmail. I’m still not sure. I figure if I can just act like I’m smooth and I know what I’m doing until November, I’m golden. ---

Well. This can’t sit around for 2 hours without a single reply. Congratulations! And if you’re a mouthbreather, does this mean **gooti** is going to have to deal with you snoring like a lumberjack? 😃 ---

Congrats! I often have the same feeling about **welbywife**. I figure that she just didn’t understand we were getting married because she’s from Russia and her English wasn’t that great 4 years ago. ---

I _did_ preview, but decided I liked it better that way. Besides, I’ve been marred for 14 years, and have learned that there _is_ no “I” in marrage… ---
