[laugh] so I take it there wasn't a ritual planned dinner at the restaurant scene, a whopping 11tb karat diamond and a down on your knees event?
your odds for success have probably increased exponentially
congratulations!!

So the story goes sort of like this...and by sort of, I mean exactly.
One day, I am sitting at work and I shoot Robin (my soon to be wife...the DitR folks met her) an IM..."I should get a new bike and you should get a new husband."
She thought it was funny that I was trying to make a deal with her but didn't take me serious.
The next day, I repeat my IM.
Again, she sort of laughs it off.
The following day, I start sending her links to engagement rings..."I really like this one..." "You love the Tiffany's stuff but it is all overpriced so let's look at these..." "Here are the ones I like best but you have to wear it so pick one out and let me know."
Silence...
For the rest of the day silence...
About 30 minutes to quitin' time, I ask if she had found one she liked yet.
She responds "Um...you were serious?"
Me: "Yeah. But we can talk more when I get home."
Her... ... ...
SO I get home and kick back on the sofa like normal after a hard day's work of slaying the mighty Virusilla and Malwareosaurus.
She is sort of quiet and after about an hour, nudges me and in a sort of sheepish voice says, "Seriously...were you serious?"
And I told her I was. I pointed out that we had talked about it a bunch and both of use had had a practice marriage so we were both veterans with experience in the killing fields that is marriage and since we lived together anyway and really sort of dug each other, why not?
So we started looking at rings again. She found a very nice understated solitaire that she really liked. I shot it down. Stone was too small and wasn't a quality stone anyway.
So we visited a local jeweler friend and they were able to replicate the ring but with a large and vastly superior quality stone.
She was happy. Her friends were jealous. And that was that.
So today at 11am, we tie the knot.
Thanks for the well wishes. I wasn't going to enter into marriage again unless I was absolutely sure this was, for good or for ill, going to be the last one. I'm happy. She's happy. Our friends and family are happy that we're happy... [beer]
Oh yeah...and the reasons we are getting married on Friday the 13th are simple...
1. Both of us got married on "normal" days before and they failed so why not do it on a "cursed" day?
2. Besides, it IS a day just like any other day.
;D
[clap] [clap] [clap] [clap] great job!!

Every marriage should come with a new bike! ;) Mine wasn't motorized, it was a C-50 Colnago bicycle! [thumbsup]
Congrats on the marriage!! I asked my wife on a Friday evening after work watching the early evening news lounging on the couch in flannel pjs and sweatshirts. I threw out the question like I was asking what are we having for dinner and pull out the ring I had stashed in the cushions. In case she said no I would have left it hidden. [laugh]
As a matter of fact tomorrow the 14th is the 7th anniversary of pj proposal.
Good luck to you both. [wine]
And there you have it, Bob's your uncle ZLT's a husband.
Congrats Ryan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Robin is beyond worthy and wonderful!
I was impressed with her ease of hanging out pre-DiTR with so many people she had just met.
Very cool girl. [thumbsup]
Infinite years of health and happiness to you both. [beer]
Congrats!

Congratulations, see you in Indy!

story's the same for me and rootchick :)
CONGRATS!!! [bacon]
BTW---new bikes and wifes do go together. When I got married, I didn't realize it was customary to buy your new cohort a wedding present (Still not sure if it is, or if the wife was pulling one over on me...). Anyways, day of our wedding, i'm trying to figure something out to get her...so I ran down the bike shop and picked her up a new Trek [laugh]
Still happily married 3...going on 4 years later!

Congrats! I enjoyed meeting you two and your friends at Road America - Best Wishes!!!
Good stuff man..
My wife and I didn't even get engaged. We just decided to get married one day and went to city hall next day I had off from work.. best friend of 11 years, married 1 1/2.. here's to a good long marriage ...
My friend and best man, Tim, pointed out that the entire ceremony took all of 9 minutes including pics.
Then commented to the maid of honor, who is also his wife, that they should have done it like this.
The magistrate made a very poignant comment after he said that..."If people put as much time and effort into their marriages as they did into planning and executing the wedding, we would have a lot fewer divorces."
Congrats!
I spit sake in your direction for a life time of happiness.
