I Would Like To Announce I Am Getting Married

[THUNDER HANDS]

Well, not anytime soon. :D

But I'd like to announce I have found the woman I want to marry and spend the rest of my life with. And what's particularly cool about this is that she feels the same way I do.

She apparently told her friends that I was 'The Guy' after our second date.

I haven't felt this good in years. I swear, I'd make a fortune if I could bottle the feelings I have right now and mash them up into little pill form.

This is how you're supposed to feel when you found 'The One' right?

I've never fallen so hard, so fast before. And especially never with someone who feels the same way about me.

So, who wants to be invited to the wedding?

[Kahuna]

1. Congratulations! I'm very happy for you both!

4. Ten Random questions that you need to ask her

Actually I have (had) three that must be answered correctly to get "a shot at the title"

1.Are you now or have you ever been a man?

2.Is there any history of female pattern baldness in your family?

3. (Always a wild card-depends on situation, Hey you gotta be flxible)

My wife answered them all correctly. Hard to figure that I didn't get married until I was 35 huh?

[matcom]

10. you romantic you

did you ask her if she had a bisexual twin and owned a liquor store?

:bounce:

[underpants]

22. NO neither one of us can remember what the third question was

It was noisy.

[matcom]

23. ah yes, those first NASCAR dates make it tought to communicate

:D

5. Way to go Magic Rat !

Me and Mrs bearfan have been together 15 years. We still love each other a lot. I get on her nerves sometimes, but she is my best friend for life.

[ALago1]

6. Thats great that you're both happy

I hope things work out for the both of you!

Try not to focus too much on weddings and spending the rest of your life with each other just yet! You've only had two dates? Just enjoy each other and take life as it comes!

Best of luck...

[SlavesandBulldozers]

8. My lovely wife told her friends and family after our second date -

that she had found "the guy".

Boy, was I happy that it was me! (rimshot)

And she and I are still together 16 years later.

Good for you both. Enjoy. These moments are to be savored.

9. You are such a sap.

:-)

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. I know

I'm a hopeless romantic who's not hopeless anymore. This kicks ass!

:D

[VelmaD]

12. You get about one more week to gloat...

and beam and be obnoxiously in love...and then I'm gonna organize the single people on DU to get-together and string you up by your toes. :evilgrin:

[THUNDER HANDS]

13. well

at least it's by my toes...you must be softening in your old age darling.

:D

[VelmaD]

16. Well...I didn't say...

what we were gonna do to you once we had you hung up. Hint: it involves jumper cables, liquid latex, a rusty cheese grater, and a grape popsicle.

[THUNDER HANDS]

21. oooh

I love grape popsickles!

[ALago1]

14. Bah! Gloat all you want!

I love observing those who just found love. They are in a perpetual state of drunkenness and look so damn content!

[demnan]

17. plus they never get enough sex!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

18. Best of Luck, Fella. Congrats.

[Kamika]

A broken heart takes a long time to heal

[Renew Deal]

[THUNDER HANDS]

24. you're on the list

I need to pad up the groom side anyway.

:D

[wysimdnwyg]

25. Woo-Hoo!

Just tell me when and where the alcohol will be served!

:toast:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

26. Congrats!

My dad knew my mom was the one after the first date, and they were in love till death parted them. So yes, it can happen that fast.

Best wishes to you both! :toast:

[sonias]

27. Love is grand

Magic Rat the best of luck to both you and your love. The world needs more lovers. Yeah it would be great to be able to bottle up the good feelings of being in love. That's one dosing that we could send the whole world without any guilt whatsoever.

28. This is terrific news, MR!

Honor this wonderful thunderstruck feeling you share with your special lady -- it happens once (maybe twice, if you're lucky) in a lifetime. There is truly something special about this kind of soulful attraction; don't let anyone belittle it.

Treat her with care and respect, listen to her, put her needs above yours, don't have any heavy expectations, never feel that you have to be "right" over an issue, make sure her needs are met, surprise her every now and then (*good* surprises, that is), and let her know at strategic times how much you care for her.

If you do this, and it's reciprocated by her, then you two *will* have a beautiful life together.

Good going, guy -- :toast:

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. Heheh, congrats ;)

[GOPisEvil]

30. Congratulations!

No, really. Congratulations. Good for you.

*officially jealous*

[soleft]

31. Congrats - see what happens when you give up sex threads?

:thumbsup:

[populistmom]

32. Congratulations!

I hope everything works out the way you want to.

I have now idea how to answer your first question because sadly I was in rather an internal state of panic when I got married. I envy so much those people who just know. A few other times in life I had glimpses of thinking I knew things, but found out later, I know absolutely nothing.

As for your second question, aren't you in Long Island? I'm in CT so I'd love to come.

Best wishes in your bliss and for many more years of it.

:)

[Mass_Liberal]

33. yay!!

Bonne fete!

[Coventina]

34. Congrats & advice

Live together first and have lots of sex.

Believe me, it can save a lot of heartache down the road.
I sincerely believe that you have to know that you can live with the person before making a lifetime committment. And be sexually compatible.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

35. So, I take it you finally kissed her?
