Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

This guy!

Well, I finally did it. I proposed to my girlfriend of three years and she said yes!



I proposed on Mackinac Island. She had no idea. As far as she knew, we were just going up there for the day on Saturday, but after I proposed and she said yes, I surprised her with a hotel room for the night as well as let her know that I already called her boss and got her off work on Monday so we could have a nice long weekend. Wish us luck as we begin the planning process!



Here's a high quality picture of the ring from the company I bought the diamond from.

I really hope you didnt ask the question by saying "Whos got 2 thumbs and is asking you to marry him, this guy!" :p

But congratulations!

i just logged in to say 'congrats on ruining your life'

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Well ignoring flamb, congrats man, though Facebook ruined your thread!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Congrats! Your life just changed forever... in a good way.

Couple of things for the wedding:

1) If your fiance wants it, say yes. Obvious one.
2) Pay attention to the band/DJ suggestions. They do this for a living and know how to get people dancing and having fun.
3) Have fun at your wedding. People follow the bride and groom and if you spend all your time shaking hands and meeting "obligations" your guests will spend the time waiting for you at their tables and won't get on the dance floor. You have fun = they have fun.
4) Don't settle. Weddings are big business, and there are a lot of people who can meet your needs. Me? We dumped our venue and caterer two months before the wedding and dumped the hotel the day before the wedding and everything worked out great.
5) Start planning now. You'll need the time.

Congratulations!

We (GT) need to provide a communal gift for the wedding. Ideas?

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Awesome, congrats!

We're a pretty mature forum now, I think we're going to see this popping up more and more.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Pay my airfare and housing and I'll bartend your wedding.;)

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...

Not much more to say then that.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Hey, congrats man! Good luck with the planning!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

W00t! Congrats!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Congrats man. I wish you and your fiance the best of luck.

I'll throw some money down on a wedding gift

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Congratulations! Is that Pepsi she's holding?

And Bond, we can't discuss that here... we need a forum where Jeepnut can't come to!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

No, Aquafina. She doesn't drink soda. :doh:

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Whoo! Congrats!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Congrats! Though not liking soda...hope it still manages to last.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Hey, congrats man! I wish you both a very happy life together :)

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Don't do it! And congrats.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

I beg to differ. :p

Anyway...congrats on the marriage thing. Try to squeeze in as many of those last few BJs as you can, cuz once you're hitched...

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Seriously.
I'll bartend your wedding.
C'mon. C'mon.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

i hope you got prenups

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

cool move dude. Congrats!

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

I want people to have fun at my wedding; not die of alcohol poisoning.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

You're not having a bar at your wedding?
In all honesty, I find that a touch odd.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Or maybe he thinks all you Canadians are alcoholics who mix your drinks 99% alcohol and 1%... juice.

Can't imagine a wedding without a bar... told all my friends... open bars.. or save the invite.

But apparently it gets expensive.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

What is this juice you speak of

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Open bars are pretty expensive. But I mean it all depends on what type of liquor you get for the bar itself. More than not, the ones I've bartended have just been various beers and wine. But a few of the pull out the stops and get lots of bottles of hard liquor, but that's a lot rarer.

The one thing I've noticed, is that you never want to do a pay bar at a wedding. Ever. Not even those dorky drink coupons. The weddings I've done that have open bars, I've noticed something - everyone, everyone is happy. Clearly because A) It's a wedding and B) They're not spending money for the booze. As soon as you make people spend their own money some people get grumpy because they realize later in the night they dont have enough money for a drink, yet want one - so they take it out on the bartender. Not fun. (That's a lie, it's semi entertaining.)

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Oh trust me, there will be a bar. I just don't feel comfortable letting you tend it. :p

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Considering bartending is my job, that's insulting.:(

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

Considering how hes never actually met you.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

No need, according to the highly educational cable television, everyone has a pretty good idea what you Canadians are like...all farty with your heads flapping around:

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

I will never ever consider having an open bar at my wedding. With my grandma there, that would be a god damn disaster.


Free drinks but two (maybe three) drink maximum.


So many congratulations, Jeepnut! Enjoy the engagement sex.

Re: Guess who has two thumbs and just got engaged...
 

I bet your grandma has had plenty of drunk sex in her time. I bet she still plays with her clam. Clam rockin' grannies ftw!
