YES! Show us the rock/onion ring on the woman's finger! And I will insist on seeing this young lady as well. Why haven't you introduced us?

I actually thought about you when she and I were talking about plans for the big day. I suppose Oklahoma isn't that far from Nebraska.

You're just jealous! :humph::moon:

Congrats! My brother just proposed to his gf this past weekend and she said yes as well.

Congratulations! A lot of people will be like "Don't do it!" but they're stupid. Being married rocks.

Good luck and congrats again.

I guess it wasn't an epic beard then.[/QUOTE]

Oh, I have an epic beard. So, epic there will be mythology based solely on my stache of power. I won't even get into my sideburns of might.

Set the date yet?

Looking at early March. Yeah, I know that's right around the corner. We're both poor and thus, we're going to keep it small. My mom was a florist for some time so, flowers are set. We've got wedding attire set. Rings have been bought. Now, I need a place for the wedding and reception. My folks have a nice gazebo, but early March can still be quite cold. Any ideas??

Yeowch. Food sometimes comes with the hall. But that adds money. And an outside wedding in March is chancy, to say the least.

It also depends on how many you plan on inviting. If you don't have a huge list, you can check out local VFWs or places like Union halls. They usually have some bare-bones places but you'd almost always have to provide food yourself.

If you are inviting a lot, you may have to go to an actual hall.

One thing you might want to do is check local colleges and see if they have any facilities to rent out.

And if you put me up for the night and pay for gas I'll be your DJ. Not sure how much they charge down there but up here it would be anywhere from $500-1000. Now, since March is not prime time it would be on the lower side.

Geez, you're getting to the wedding faster than me. Just booked a place for late March (during spring break).

Oh, and congrats!

Congratz! I guess she really is your "Number One".

Keeping it small is a good idea, my wife and I did that and it made the day feel so much more relaxed. Best wishes to you two in the future!

Thanks man! I'll get back to you on that. That's a generous offer for sure! Thanks again!

We're looking at a church in Tulsa that my folks go to. It would be a perfect fit. We'll see if we can swing it.

Congrats to you as well! Hope all the planning goes well! We kind of have to speed things up due to family members that we want there.

Yeah, I'm always telling her to come to my "ready room" and the she has the 'con'.

I have a short list of friends and family. It will be small on my side no matter what. She has people that could potentially fly in from 3 continents, but thankfully she wants a small wedding too. My brother had a small wedding and it was great. My sister had a huge wedding, and it was long and drawn out with massive tension and headaches.

We sped things up a bit too, mostly for cost. We are shooting for a small wedding but my side may end up outnumbering hers 3 to 1. If we had it here in Minnesota, it would be 4 to 1 the other way. It sucks trying to make sure people are happy. I keep telling the fiancee that it isn't about what everyone else wants but she's very sensitive to offending others, especially her family. *sigh*

That's tough when you can't afford to bring folks in or have to decide b/t places. I've got family in California that I know can't afford to come out, and I certainly can't afford to either. They'll just have to settle for pictures, and possibly a video.

After seeing how much my brother's wedding cost, my girlfriend has scaled back her plans significantly. I know she wants a huge gala event, but she is also practical and doesn't want massive debt at the start of a marriage. I'll make it up to her someday.

celebrate with suprise anal. Use chloroform to add to the surprise.

I think surprise anal is for the fifth anniversary or is it paper? I always get those confused.

There is an anniversary for it? huh, and here I thought it was for the playground.
