First I want to say you guys (and gals) are great!! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] I just got home and read this thread, as well as another, and would like to say how much I appreciate each and every one of you! [smiley=dankk2.gif]
After we gave the go-ahead to Twolane on the phone yesterday, we zipped out of here to get the ring sized. [smiley=grin.gif] JC clued me in on the thread and the pic being posted, but this is the first chance I've had to sit down at the [smiley=computer.gif] and read them all. I tried to read it on the road, but [smiley=nixweiss.gif] you just don't get the full impact on a 1.5" screen!
OK, [smiley=drummer.gif] please....THE SPEECH! And I'm not a mushy person so I'll try to make this as painless (and humorous) for you guys as I possibly can!!! I am still [smiley=lipsrsealed2.gif], but as Andy said I'm never at a loss for words when typing! I'll try to hit the highlights!;)
hard10, I'm not sure if know you or Sassy yet, but if not, it's nice to meet you! [smiley=yes.gif] Sassy is right! "It's amazing what a ride on a CVO will do for you." I think he knew what he was doing when he told me he'd sell me the Vrod.

And, AK, now I know why he kept forgetting one part or another! He knew the OCD would kick in and I would keep in touch because I'd never willingly give up chrome so I would have to keep in touch! LOL! :-?
VaEagle, Yes! We both have claimed the other one must be suffering from PTSD more than once or twice!!! [smiley=wacky.gif]
Twolane, JC (and others) - You're right! [smiley=nervous.gif]
I have said on more than one occasion that I would NEVER do the marriage thing again!!
Believe me, I've had lots of [smiley=dozey.gif] nights recently thinking about that
and thinking about
[smiley=fireman.gif]
[smiley=thinking2.gif]
as he's been dropping hints that he might ask such a question around VALENTINE'S! (Good cover, babe!) He is the most [smiley=sunny.gif] person I know! He is the first person I talk to every [smiley=morningcoffee.gif], the last person I talk to [smiley=sleeping.gif], and makes my heart go [smiley=1112.gif], but my parents have been married 40+ years and both my grandparents never divorced (or remarried after they were widowed), so I don't take marriage lightly [smiley=deal2.gif]! I honestly believe when you take a vow "in front of God and everybody" that it really should be forever! [smiley=behead.gif]
YES, he was taking a big chance.......but the risk paid off! [smiley=love_7.gif]
Fatboy, I hate to [smiley=beatdeadhorse.gif], but you're wrong! [smiley=disappointed.gif]
Here's the real story......
Very early on when you asked him about me, we were just friends! [smiley=bandana.gif] and [smiley=biker.gif]! Neither one of us wanted a relationship or [smiley=love_1.gif]!! But as time went on, we became really good friends, we saw each other at bike events and we talked a lot! Around first of the year, some [smiley=clown.gif] caused a security breach at work and things got [smiley=zstupid.gif]!! After I had a car accident, I took some time off at the [smiley=divers009.gif] in Outer Banks and some [smiley=fireman.gif] there and our mutual friends tried to make me laugh to keep me sane! Then, the [smiley=gossip.gif] began on the site and things got a little awkward for a while! [smiley=wall.gif] We remained nothing more than friends because [smiley=no.gif], I didn't want a relationship and was having too much fun riding my Vrod! I didn't need no stinking [smiley=biker.gif]!!! And the [smiley=fireman.gif] / [smiley=biker.gif] didn't want a relationship because he was having too much fun being THE DAWG! One of us would invite the other one to some event like [smiley=scholar.gif] or [smiley=smilie_koch1.gif] or [smiley=birthdays.gif] as friends and we continued to become more important to each other, but neither one of us would admit it! [smiley=duhk.gif] We continued to be good friends while dating other people, etc, etc. Then, [smiley=oops.gif], the [smiley=fireman.gif] / [smiley=biker.gif] had to go off and hit a deer![smiley=antlers.gif] After many phone calls about broke ribs, sprained ankles, and more [smiley=juggle.gif] of schedules, we made a few more [smiley=trailer.gif], and went on a few more [smiley=vrolijk_11.gif]. After a few [smiley=argue.gif] and a few [smiley=zwtf.gif] are we thinking, we continued to see each other and the trips became more frequent. One day, IT hit us! [smiley=stars.gif] [smiley=smash.gif] ....
After the last [smiley=trailer.gif] with [smiley=banana.gif] [smiley=pumpkin.gif] [smiley=policeman.gif] [smiley=sombrero.gif] [smiley=helmet.gif] [smiley=fireman.gif] [smiley=glasses.gif] [smiley=gorgeous.gif] [smiley=hat.gif] [smiley=jalapeno.gif] [smiley=hair2.gif] to MV, we realized we were in [smiley=love_3.gif]
So now it's time to [smiley=party.gif] [smiley=balloon.gif] [smiley=balloon2.gif] [smiley=balloon3.gif] [smiley=party2.gif]
and we'll have a HUGE blended family! God [smiley=help.gif] us all!
The wedding party will look a little something like this..........
[smiley=toff.gif] [smiley=gorgeous.gif] [smiley=bow.gif] [smiley=hippy.gif] [smiley=scholar.gif] [smiley=batman.gif] [smiley=baby.gif] [smiley=cool4.gif] [smiley=hair2.gif] [smiley=verkleidung005.gif]
The End!
