Oh Boy!!!
It's started. I wasn't expecting to visit theknot.com so soon, but there I was today, trying to figure out what part of this cornucopia of information I should dive into first. Last night we went to get the ring sized. Hell of a time that. I-95 was backed up beyond belief, so I sat for an hour at the restaurant talking to Bea on the phone, trying to keep her mind off the idea of purchasing a firearm for her vehicle. She finally made it and we had a good time running around the mall except for the part where we went to the other jewelry stores and the diamond snobbery came out. You know the type. They're the ones who make sure you know that the 3/4 carat diamond engagement ring you have to shell out money you don't have for the next year is nowhere near the quality they could have given you, and that you should take it back and get their diamonds because "Look how much better ours are than that little piece of crap you bought for her" Ugh. But, ever the positive mind I am trying to be, I really don't care what they think. I like the ring, Bea likes the ring. Tada. Problem solved. Now if we can just figure out when we're going to actually get married.......

Don't feel bad, Mark, we are having the same "problem" with diamond snobbery as you. I've gladly given up going to the local shops to get the ring fixed, sized, or checked - I simply go back to where I bought it. Of course, I didn't read back in your archives at all and you may very well have had an even worse experience with the people you bought it from. Either way, good luck with the wedding planning - we're starting that now.

So dude... here's the secret: you don't have to go to the knot dot com :)
Good news, post or send a picture so we know who the lucky gal is!!
Big time congrats. Make sure Alan's rents know when and where the big time rolls, or you and the future "sweety" will be the proud recipients of two hairballs.
Hi sweetheart. CONGRATULATIONS!! And we better get an invitation, whether we can come or not. We love you and all of our Syracuse young'uns.
P.S. Put your own thoughts down on paper and illustrate them. You have a simply marvelous prose style. No matter what anyone else may have said that gives you a lack of confidence in the writing side. Poppa J
Congrats, man! I know what you mean about the ring...I was a poor college student so I couldn't get much but Laura loves it just the same. We're so happy for you.
