Z - thanks for sharing the great news! No wonder you have seemed more "reasonable" lately!! 
Remember if you keep her happy then you will be happy-
Congratulations!

I asked her in the middle of a jewelry show, about 5 minutes after spending an obscene amount of money on a ring she fell in love with.
Her passion is jewelry (she's a jeweler), so we were there to take advantage of the wholesale pricing. She had no idea the QUESTION was coming that quick, though. Caught her off balance.
As for the wedding date, who knows? We'll probably just fly out to Vegas one weekend and take care of it. She doesn't want the dog-and-pony show any more than I do.

Thanks!
So let's see......
This makes Engagement v3.0 and hopefully Marriage v2.0.
Either way, it's the LAST time for EITHER.
Did you get her to sign the pre-nup yet?

As much as we both despise the idea, we'll probably do one, if only to protect my girls.
Hell of a thing to have to worry about.

Zap,
I assume that this poor woman is aware of your sordid past life as a sailorman. We'll all chip in and send her a gold plated and diamond encrusted rolling pin to keep you under control!
Congratulations and welcome back to the chain gang!

LOL. Good point.
Maybe I'll just say, "Ma'am, yes ma'am!"
Oh no.. Don't EVER say that!! I speak from experience here.. That statement hurts.. a lot!!!

^^^^ Ignore that bit of advice. Sub, I say we gift the wife to be with a rolling pin with spikes in it rather than the diamonds & such. I've got that version & its worked for 27 years. Then again, I have a pretty good relationship with my hit man who I get a Xmas card from every year. I think he does gift certificates. I could get her that instead.....
Z, you made my day. Congrats buddy. Raising a glass to you both & the girls while repeating what Mike said.
