Just remember, no matter how sure you are there will be rough times to test you. Stick 'em out together and you'll do much better than apart. :) congrats!

Thank you. Agreed, good advice. Things have been very good for a long time but I do I expect times will be there to test us.

:laugh: Hmm. We have not decided anything yet. However I know it will take some time and compromise since we differ on what kind of ceremony we want.

Wow and I was thinking on just inviting a hundred or so. Since we are both in our 30s we are going to have to pay for this...

well, there are advantages in inviting the lounge group. A) all 5 million members don't visit the lounge. B) we're scattered all over the globe, so chances are few are nearby. C) Some of us look over 40 aging geeks like me, so your wife will think you are much more handsome by comparison D) a digital scan of an invite costs less than postage. E) Most of us can set the clocks on the two dozen electronic devices you will receive as wedding gifts. :-D :-D :laugh:

Yeah, on that thought, just invite a select few. We could just give him a big cheer from the Lounge on the big day when they decide that'll be.

She's flawed - that indx finger looks kinda dodgy... My wife is missing a finger tip (got it sliced off in a nasty bookbinder machine accident). She usually gets a discount when yshe goes in to have her nails done.

I am kind of worried about that. But more worried about getting 10 toasters.
