she said yes!
being terribly busy this week, i haven't had time to post this yet.
i took the monday after bbp5.1 off to recoup and buy an engagement ring for my girlfriend heather. always one to do things in the right order, i asked her father if he approved while walking the dogs on mother's day. he did, and when we got back to the house heather was in the bathroom. he proceeded to tell her mother that i had asked for her hand in marriage. i hoped heather couldn't hear us from inside the bathroom. when she came out into the living room her mother said 'you'll never guess what your father just told me!'
i'm thinking 'meep. it's supposed to be a surprise. :|'
worst part is, heather thought it was a joke. until her mother called her a couple of days later and asked if i had proposed yet.
:| x72
monday of last week heather was sick, so i called to let the jewelers know not to leave a message at my house number. the ring was ready so i picked it up during lunch.
this past saturday was nice and we had planned to go hiking. i wanted to propose on annapolis rocks, an outcropping along the appalachian trail that looks onto the valley. she wanted to go somewhere new, so i felt a twinge of despair. we decided to go to weverton cliffs near the md/wv border which overlooks the potomac and appeared to be a suitable spot. so we grab her dog sampson and drive out there.
at the beginning of the hike we had a little 15 second tiff which i thought could lead to ruination, but it all turned out ok. we got to the cliffs just as a bunch of boy scouts were arriving from an 18 mile hike. i didn't want to propose with too many people around so i despaired again. after sitting a while and taking some pictures, she asked if i was ready to leave. 'not really...' i thought, but we headed out. at the top of the hill i asked her to stop, told her i loved her and wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, dropped to one knee (FINISHING MOVE!), and asked her to marry me. she was surprised because, while she knew it was coming 'soon', she didn't know i had a ring.
and then sampson whined because he wanted to keep moving and we were taking too meep long.


and an older picture of us:

Holy fuk Captain Neckbeard! Congrats!
Remember the time honered tradition of FIRST NIGHT (c'mon, you must have seen Braveheart), where your bride spends the first night with LORDKAHUNA (just think, after one night with me, she will NEVER LEAVE YOU).
Seriously, your meep is presentable, in a non-ugly sort of way (X72).
SAY HELLO TO THE LAST meep YOU WILL EVER SEE!

Don't do it man, why meep with the status quo? Are you happy now? Is she happy? Do you really believe you'll magically be happier if you get married? At least try to sneak an "open marriage" clause into the pre-nup just for saftey sake.

So good! We got married on the beach at sunrise, then had a second ceremony in the oak forest for our lazy-assed friends later in the day. There hasn't been a day that I'm not thankful that I'm loved. You will grow in ways that you never could single. You can now put energy into life, because you have each other to care for.
Two things:
When you have a fight, listen closely to what your spouse is telling you. What they're really saying is 'this is what I don't like about me, but I don't want to change it, so I'll project it onto you'
Nobody else wants your meep. Even if it appears that they do for a moment for meep or cash or just the power to meep things up. Just think of your worst moment of selfish, irrational, tantrum throwing bratitude. It will only get worse as you get older. Now try to name ANYONE that would put up with that meep. Your spouse does. Don't forget that.
Do you have any idea how many slave laborors had to dig, sweat, bleed, and die for that little chunk of carbon? Nothing says love like the exploitation of an impoversed people.

Aw, my little Mundhra, all growed up. Congrats, G.
I demand the right to show up at your wedding in full Star Wars regalia. Actually, Star Trek would be even nerdier.
(You've just made a few dozen Internet females swoon and grow a tad moist.)
(You make me feel like a princess again!)
(I'd hit that meep!)
(With meep & nuts, I mean.)

Congrats Mundhra, You are a brave man ( for making her wait a week after herMum let the cat out of the bag ) I am surprised she forgave you that wait and said yes, but since she did, she has got to be a keeper ( and she's kinda cute too ).
and i accidentally deleted it. :|

Congrats mundhra. These will be great days for you both. Enjoy, and live your lives to the full. And don't have kids too soon, because that pretty much brings everything to a screeching halt.

Congrats. Now, go to the local market and buy yourself a life supply of Kleenex to stuff under your bed - because that is the only thing you will be dumping nutts into.

Before the weding, or preferably afterwards, be sure to rough up her mom a little for telling the secret.
Other than that, don't be like my brother: Clean up the house before the reception. :(
Congrats.
