…and we’re gonna get maa-aa-arried…
Guest blogger, GTG here…You got it, folks…Shoo and I are getting hitched…tying the knot…walking down the aisle…strapping on the ol’ ball and chain. Okay, enough euphemisms. How did it happen? you might be asking yourself. Obviously, I plan to tell you…
It was very Shoo-ish. He picked me up at my place to go grab some lunch, but insisted that before we go we stop by his house to get some overdue movies. But that’s not all he had planned. I’d hardly stepped through the door and taken off my sneakers, when Shoo presented me with a digital photograph on Post-it paper. It was a picture of his end table…odd. He told me it would lead me to my Valentine’s Day present.
I followed it to the end table, excited now. In the end table, I found a photo of a drawer in his kitchen…run there and find the closet door. Closet door to office door where I found a doofy picture of smiley Shoo.
I walk into the office and hold out my hands and close my eyes thinking Shooey would be putting my present in my hand. He did a bit more than that. When I opened my eyes, he was down on one knee. I started laughing. He says to me, “Will you?” I continue laughing…at some point apparently I said yes because he gets up and hugs me…at which point I cry.
I always told myself I’d never be one of those women. At one point I even told Shoo to just “give me the ring and get it over with.” But when it came time to buck up and be proposed to, I cried like a baby…a very happy baby.
My ring is beautiful. It even comes with a book and a cleaning schedule. I’ve never owned jewelry that’s more high maintance than I am.
So, Shoo and GTG are goin’ to the chapel…and, of course, being the nerd that he is, Shoo has already started planning for a wedding blog. Two weeks ago…yes, this was premeditated…two weeks ago, he bought the website name ourweddingblog.net. I might have to go find Iloveageek.com.
That is so sweet and touching. This is wonderful news. Congratulations.
Great domain name, too.
That’s awesome guys! Way to go. I look forward to many wedding-related blogs in the near future. Nice domain name too!
Wow, well done Shoo!
Welcome to the family, Sarah.
Mark says ‘You are welcome’
CONGRATULATIONS!
Wow…I thought I was being a good boyfriend by cooking a nice dinner…
Well done, Shooey!
Congrats again guys!
Somehow I’m not at all surprised Shoo managed to get his tech geek skills in there…
Thank you everyone!
Sterno, man, I tried calling you. Should have called me back.
Catherine, I bragged so much about my uncle last night. It is a beautiful ring for a beautiful bride to be!
I wasn’t actually going to tell her right away about the domain name. Roommate Steve kind of forced it out me in front of her. In hindsight after talking with another couple, she’s realized the importance of having a wedding site.
We’re getting married.
Shoo just pointed out that, “You’re typing with the bling.”
We celebrated really hard last night…so I’m feeling good this morning. //note the sarcasm//
Mother and Father approve.
wedding, wedding, wedding!?>!?>!?>!
Why not elope?! I hear “Key West” is wonderful this time of year!
Congratulations, you two. Is Buddy going to be the ringbearer?
LOL Buddy might eat the rings as he has expensive taste (right Sarah?).
Congratulations!!
And the ring is awesome - good job Shooey, and way to show it off Sarah!
Prosaic, I tried to get Shooey to go for that, but he insists we have an actual person…something about going too far???
Cathy, I’m terrified that Buddy is going to eat my ring. I tried to show it to him, and he licked at it. If it’s a choice between my dog and my ring, I’m not sure I can say the dog would win.
You know I have never had a problem w/ Cody eating my jewelry. I think it would hurt too much going down.
I don’t think you are going to leave that ring anywhere that Buddy is going to get to it. Just make it a good habit of putting it away (jewelry box, back in ring box in drawer, etc) where he cannot get it when it is not on your finger.
Sarah, when Cody was little he ate a piece of clothing (won’t go into the story) but needless to say he never ate anything (outside of food) like that again. Will tell you the story another time or place online.
Congrats again you guys!
I hope the happiness that you two share will continue throughout your lifetime together!…and I hope Buddy doesn’t eat your ring…
Congrats you guys, Now it is time for some little Shoo’s to be messing up his dads computer.
Congrats again you two love birds! The ring is beautiful!! Great job Shooey!!
Congrats to Shoo and GTG. Although we’ve never met personally, I look forward to another S & GTG Production on the wedding blog.
PS. Heinzel doesn’t know what he’s talking about RE: marriage. I’ve been married for almost eight years, and it was the best thing I ever did…well, besides kids. Note that I’m not speaking for the hubby ’cause I think I got the better part of this lifetime guarantee. :O)
Let’s be honest…Shoo’s getting the good end of this deal, but as long as he doesn’t complain too much about my obsession with shoes and Target clothes, I think I’ll manage.
Just kidding, Shoo. i
That’s supposed to say I ::heart:: you, but it didn’t work.
Congrats neighbor.
GTG, I got your message somewhere in the blur of Daytona 500 weekend. You sounded ecstatic. I am so happy for you!
HOORAY FOR WEDDINGS!
