[tomhudson]

Congratulations to both of you.

Re:

[metlin]

Thank you. The lass and I are quite excited.

Woo!

[grub]

Congratulations!

Enjoy the rest of your lives together!

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks! We are looking forward to it! :)

Re:

[grub]

OK, you've had a night to sleep on it. I bet you woke up and thought "What the fuck have I done?!"

Or maybe not, I'm just pullin' your leg. :)

Re:

[metlin]

Well, it was more along the lines of, "What the fuck have we done?!"

(Only kidding...)

Ahoy

[Namronorman]

Congratulations! Sounds like a fun night. Great to be creative (:

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks and yes, it totally was a fun night. She totally loved it and yes, it is rather fun to be creative, especially when it surprises your girl and makes her quite happy (not to mention brings out the reaction that you hoped for)! :)

Wonderful

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

I wish both of you the very best!

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks! The years ahead of us ought to be fun.

Re:

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

Now get off the terminal, and back with the girl! :-)

Re:

[metlin]

Well, there are some benefits to dating a geek girl, you know? =)

Re:

[TechnoLust]

You guys have cybered, haven't you? ;-)

Re:

[metlin]

Well, at least we don't have to ask each other for ASL. =)

Congratulations!

[plover]

That's very exciting news! I'm happy for the both of you, and wish you both long and happy lives together.

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks! We rather look forward to the long and happy part. =)

Romance

[tbigby]

A friend from work says there ought to be more romance in this world... with that tale I think you proved that there's plenty already!

Congratulations, all the best to both of you!

Re:

[metlin]

Why, thank you. =) She likes surprises and keeps telling me about all these wonderful proposals that she reads about or sees on TV, so I took the hint and gave her something special.

Congrats!

[FortKnox]

Though you ruined the story by saying "I took my fiancee out to dinner"... should have started with girlfriend so as not to ruin the surprise ;)

Re:

[metlin]

Hahahaha. I thought of changing it to girlfriend but there was vehement protest against any "demotion" from fiancee status to girlfriend status. :(

Congratulations!

[tanveer1979]

Its a wonderful feeling to be married to the one you love! Wish you a wonderful life together

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks! I imagine that it would be rather...interesting?

Re:

[tanveer1979]

You bet! It is interesting, wonderful, and different :)

I hope my wife never reads this...

[jawtheshark]

Because what I did was waaaaaaaaaaay less romantic! Congratulations!

Re:

[metlin]

Shush! This is only because we're still in the moon-eyed phase. Since you are already married, you are forgiven. ;)

Re:

[jawtheshark]

Yeah, sure... and I was married when I asked her, right?

Of course not! It was on the 5th december 2004, and we were in a teppan yaki restaurant. I was already quite drunk and the topic came up. So I asked, would you like me to ask you to become my wife? She said: try it... So I asked her and she said yes...

We went shopping together for the engagement ring....

Re:

[metlin]

HAHAAHAHA!

To be honest, yours sounds just as interesting! Different, but interesting. Besides, think of what an awesome story it would make to tell your grandkids, eh?

Bring the ball and chain!

[Ethelred Unraed]

Uh, I mean congratulations! :-D

Cheers,

Ethelred

Re:

[metlin]

Ball and chain? Speaking from experience? ;)

Only kidding! Thanks for the wishes!

bring me a bucket, I'm going to be sick...

[tuxette]

I mean, CONGRATULATIONS!

When's the wedding? :)

Re:

[metlin]

Gee, thanks! :-p

Well, we are not sure about the wedding, probably a year or so from now would be my guess. Y'all would definitely know. ;)

Yeah!

[Shadow Wrought]

Congrats! And best wishes on the rest of your journey together.

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks! And a journey it would be, since we both do plan on travelling a while before settling down with a family. ;)

Have a great life together!!

[andr0meda]

Congratulations and the best to you both!

Hope I'll ever get as far and romantic as you :)

Re:

[metlin]

Thanks! And goodluck to you - one thing is that it totally rocks when you are finally ready for it.

Congrats Metlin

[GillBates0]

Congratulations Karthik. Is she a fellow GaTechie too?

Re:

[metlin]

Hey, thanks!

Well, I did meet her while at GTech but she's in the US Navy. :)
