Damn you, **Frog**! Don’t scare me like that! Congrats to you and Honesty! _(This doesn’t mean you’re going to let me feel lonely, is it? 😉 )_ Best wishes for you both! ---

For any newbies who don’t know what we’re talking about, here’s the [infamous tuxedo jacket](http://home.att.net/~jskellogg/lynda/linda28.htm) I wore to my sister’s wedding reception. Please keep in mind I only wore it after the photographer had left, so I wasn’t in any of her wedding pictures looking like this and she was the one that told me to wear it in the first place. Well, she didn’t _tell_ me to wear it, but after I joked about wearing it, she said I didn’t have the guts to wear that thing in public. I’ve never been able to turn down a challenge like that. Notice that by the time this pic is taken, I’m so used to having a beer mug with me, that my hand has frozen like that . . . ---

And here I was about to say that it serves you right not to have a girlfriend anymore because you’re virtually married with a virtual stripper mistress on the side and you virtually knocked up some other little whor… wait, that’s me. Never mind, forget that last one. Congratulations on the engagement. 😉 AFAIK, it’s o.k. to continue calling her your girlfriend instead of saying fiancee. I’m engaged too but we don’t like that “F” word so we still say boyfriend/girlfriend. And _I_ think that jacket is stylin’. You should definitely wear it for the wedding. (or at least during the reception) ---

Keep that in mind should we meet up again in the playoffs. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by porcupine \* > \*\*Oh, my eyes. It burns! It burns! \*\* Sorry, I forgot to warn you - Do not look directly at the jacket. View it through a hole in a piece of paper, much like you would veiw a solar eclipse. Do not spill anything on the jacket, as that tends to upset it. Do **not** taunt the jacket. ---

If you wear that thing at your wedding, you’ll _outshine the bride_!🆒 You’ll also have to supply all the guests with some shades! (I just thought about an old picture I once saw, of a theater full of people wearing 3D glasses, back in the fifties. Hmmmmm… I wonder what that jacket would look like through 3D glasses…:eek: ) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Stupendous man \* > **And let me jsut say, what a great way to propose… Her expression must have really been something… It’s fun to surprise the women like that. 😉** I just wanna clear up - I did not propose to her like that. The wording of the OP was done just for the Dopers. That’d be mean to do that to your girlfriend. What I said to Honesty was more romantic and to-the-point. More along the lines of how I love her and how I want to spend my life with her, yada-yada-yada. Really sappy stuff. ---
