Everyone is always saying ugly Dopers are attractive when they obviously aren’t and it ticks me off.

_giggle_ We just have furtive conversations in the ladies toilets… And sometimes they even produce something that works out well… 😉 😃 😃 😃  
[/QUOTE]

I think what \*\*Angua’s \*\*trying to say is that if it hadn’t been for her, **Crusoe** and I might never have gotten together. And she’s right. Thanks again **Angua!**

And for all the congratulations and compliments you guys! I don’t normally look that good - the dress helped, as did the hair and make-up artist. **Crusoe** , however, is always a handsome devil!

It’s good that it made your day. I take nothing away from that (and just in case you mistake me for Shagnasty, I am Lobsang)

But I personally only feel patronized when people pay me complements I know are not true.

And I am agreeing with Shagnasty because the two people in the OP _really are_ photogenic.

Congratulations! Now get busy and produce the next generation of Dopers.

We’ve had Doper couples with kids. I wonder if we’ll be around long enough that some of those kids will meet and breed a third generation. Survival of the least ignorant you know.

Seriously folks, you look really good.

I don’t think we need to hear about what you produce in the toilet. There are plenty of other threads for that sort of thing. 😃

Pfffft… 😛

And **Jennyrosity** , you’re making me blush. A lot. But I’m so very very happy for you guys!! 😃 😃 😃
