> [@if6was9](#): > > K. A serious post… **Maureen** , my darling, I love you with all my heart. I never thought I’d ever find a woman as wonderful as you. You are everything I ever dreamed of, and then a ton of other stuff I never even thought of. You’re beautiful and sexy and funny and smart and principled and you like sports and drive like Mario Andretti and you’re kind and caring and for some reason you see in me what no other woman would. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me, my sweet baby? Wow, go get her buddy. You can’t let a catch like that get away! I cede my bribery of beef and vegetables, and wish the two of you all the joy in the world. ---

I saw this thread yesterday, but didn’t get a chance to respond thanks to physical and metaphorical storms. **EddyTeddyFreddy** , I accept your proposal, and not just because I love animals including horses. If you change your mind, perhaps **Baker** or **Zoe** would be willing. For that matter, if I were considering a two-fer and would be willing to move down south, I could do far worse than **Aries28** and **Sauron** or **Kal** and **Washte**. Now for my favorite part: the gentleman of the SDMB. I’ve got the usual trio to consider, **NoClueBoy, Dantheman** , and **Steve Wright**. There are others, but my brain appears to be fried. **Maureen, if6was9** , congratulations to both of you! CJ ---

> [@misstee](#): > > **Shibb** , will you marry me ? > You have to be willing to be nekkid with me, though. Okay, but you have to be willing to accept **Kallessa** and Mrs. Shibb and anyone else who comes with the package. I think there’s gonna have to be a whole lot of nekkidness. When did you say that you were moving to Florida? 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-you-marry-me-how-bout-you/246348.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-you-marry-me-how-bout-you/246348.md?page=4)
