What a weekend!
GTG and I had so much fun telling our family and friends that we were literally sore from smiling. I expected everything to go great, but I couldn’t imagine how much fun we would have in doing so. I had kept a tight lip during the whole process of looking for a ring, planning the setup, and doing the proposal. My parents didn’t even know!
My uncle was my own personal jeweler. If it hadn’t been for him, it would have been another six months before I popped the big question. As you would imagine, GTG loves her ring. I was joking with her tonight that I was so hungry that I was going to eat her arm. She asked if I was going to eat her arm that I would eat the right one instead of the left because she’d still like to wear her ring.
Remember Captain Planet and the Planeteers? The planeteers had rings with special powers? Heart, wind, fire, water.
GTG’s ring’s power is ‘kick-ass-bling.’ Seriously, about every five minutes she angles her wrist to see it sparkle.
I couldn’t be any happier for her. I think I’ve already started understanding the notion that a happy wife equals a happy husband.
Okay, I guess this is really what a wedding blog is for, but thanks again to everyone that has congratulated us and given us support. It made the weekend one not to forget.
Ohh, and I looked up iloveageek.com. Yup, it was available. Bought it.











Congratulations to you both!!!

Chris am going to print up your blog for Mark. He is thrilled that you guys are thrilled. Makes him a happy jeweler
Keep remembering that happy wife=happy husband stuff when you see how much money I spend a month on shoes and Target clothes. You have been warned.
I can’t believe you kept it from your parents…
What was your mom’s reaction?
Mom’s reaction? Besides the “OOHOOHOO” - I think it was “I am going to have a daughter!“
Let me clarify that - “daughter-in-law”
