11 months ago tomorrow, I came to this group looking for help to
quit smoking, and hoping that I could help others in whichever way I
could, and that they found useful. After a lot of ups and downs, I
did quit smoking with your help and the help of a lot of other fine
folk here and for that, I am eternally grateful.
But, as happy as I am that I have finally been able to quit, and as
happy as I am that my life is not only going to be longer, but also
richer, I am even happier that I met you here. Actually, "happy"
doesn't even scratch the surface of how good I feel about you. I
get butterflies in my stomach every time I sit down to call you or
write an email to you or read one of your messages online. My
fingers are vibrating on the keys thinking about you now. Time
flies too fast when we're talking on the phone or in chat. I could
sit here all the live-long day and write superlatives and flowing
poetic contractions of how good you make me feel, but that won't get
me where I want to go now.
We've determined that we're intellectually compatible and
emotionally compatible and physically compatible and a lot of other
compatibles, but the bottom line Diane, is that I love you more than
I have ever loved anyone in my life. You have shown me a whole new
dimension to life, and now that I have tasted a little, I want more.
I want a lot more. I want all that you've got in exchange for which
I will give you all I've got. I want you.
I want to take care of you when you ail, and I want you to take care
of me when I am ill. I want to laugh with you when either of us has
something to laugh about. I want to give you solace when you weep,
and I want you to give me your shoulder when I cry. I want to give
you cheer when you are down, and celebrate with you when you are up.
I want to spend a lifetime of Christmases and Easters and
Thanksgivings and birthdays with you.
I want to work in the garden with you. I want to paint the house
with you. I want to cook with you. I want to do the Sunday morning
crossword with you. I want to sit on the beach at sunset with you
again. I want to shop for groceries, and furniture, and cars, and
houses with you. I want you to help me study at night if I do
decide to go back and get a degree. I want to show you how to
safely drive in snow and ice, and how to downhill and cross-country
ski and snowshoe.
I want to go with you again to next year's Prune festival in Yuba
City. I want to go to the Garlic Festival. I want us to go to
Hawaii, and Alaska, and Costa Rica, and all the other places we've
talked about. I want US to visit our friends in the region, and
elsewhere on the continent and overseas.
I could do anything I want to in life. All it takes is decision,
determination, and effort. But it all means nothing unless you're
there. Whatever I want to do, I want to do with you. And I want
it to be right for both of us. Diane, I want to spend the rest of
my life loving and caring for you as only I can. And I want to have
you as my lifelong partner to whom I want to give myself to. I want
you. I love you.
Will you marry me ?
Love,
Eddie aka Otter

Well, so much for MY big announcement....
Congratulations, you two. It's like a fairytale. So, may all your
dreams come true!
Wanna adopt a few of us? I, for instance, can cook.
I'm sure there are other useful talents that might be handy to have in
the immediate family. Hawkeye, for example, can bring your mail in;
then there's Adrienne and Wheeler and Gwen for pet care. Use your
imaginations.....

Yes, how cliched - "We just got married, and we're going to Disneyland!" I
suppose we should have a football to spike as we're saying it. Hmmmmmmm.
Now, as far as adopting anybody - I have 2 dogs and 2 cats (one of which is
siamese) and Eddie will be introducing 2 more siamese into the mix It would
be cruel and unusal punishment to bring any adoptees into the household for at
least the first 6 months, when the cats stop screeching. :-)
Thanks Jef, er, I'm sorry. Thanks Your Majesty. :-)

Awww... Thank you lass. Thank you very kindly. As for the
international get-together coinciding with the wedding ? Sure ! Makes
perfect sense to me. What better chance and reason would there be to
get everyone together ? Diane is about a quarter of the way home from
work right now, and she may have some additional input. Plus, everyone
loves a party. For those of you who are coming from Scotland, the
latest rage in California wedding gifts is 40oz of the MacAllen. But
don't tell Diane I told you so. I want it to come as a pleasant
surprise. Shhhh !! ;-)

LOL !! I guess that I sort of take it for granted that only the people
who have known us for almost a year, would know about us. But that is
foolish. Thank you very much bbay ! I guess there are a few more
lurkers out there that know about us too, and I wish them, and you,
every success in the world in quitting smoking. Enough people have
told you the secrets, and the ways to quit. All you have to do is do
it. Best wishes bbay, and thanks again.

Big Warm Hearted Congratulations to both of you. What a joy it's been
to watch the building and blossoming between you. Without any hint of
anything sublime I can honestly say that you two deserve each other in
all the best ways that there are. You truly belong together.
I just got back from my brother's wedding this weekend and I got to
stand close and look into both their eyes as they said their vows to
each other. Marriage is a truly beautiful thing.
I wish you a lifetime of happiness and joy together.
Love,

In that open field
If you do not come too close, if you do not come too close,
On a Summer midnight, you can hear the music
Of the weak pipe and the little drum
And see them dancing around the bonfire
The association of man and woman
In daunsinge, signifying matrimonie--
A dignified and comodious sacrament.
Two and two, necessarye coniunction,
Holding eche other by the hand or the arm
Whiche betokeneth concorde. Round and round the fire
Leaping through the flames, or joined in circles,
Rustically solemn or in rustic laughter
Lifting heavy feet in clumsy shoes,
Earth feet, loam feet, lifted in country mirth
Mirth of those long since under earth
Nourishing the corn. Keeping time,
Keeping the rhythm in their dancing
As in their living in the living seasons
The time of the seasons and the constellations
The time of milking and the time of harvest
The time of the coupling of man and woman
And that of beasts. Feet rising and falling.
Eating and drinking. Dung and death.
Dawn points, and another day
Prepares for heat and silence. Out at sea the dawn wind
Wrinkles or slides. I am here
Or there, or elsewhere. In my beginning.

Awwwwwww, you two! I just love a happy beginning.... If the
wedding takes place in NorCal, I cater, I play the organ (the
WURLITZER, you guys), I sing (OK, so I actually howl with the dogs,
that's STILL singing, don't you agree?), I sew, I have a purple
feather boa and a fedora, PERFECT AS3 bridesmaid attire....
:)
I just LOVE you two! Congratulations and my very best wishes
for a wonderful life together. <happy sigh>

Congratulations to the both of you! I just love happy endings!!!

You won't believe the size of the grin on my face right now. The
people at work are going to think I'm nuts. AFAIK, the wedding will
be taking place in NorCal. Diane and I want a small country-style
wedding. As in : a small wedding in the country-style, not like
Lichtenstein, or Andorra, or Luxembourg kind of small country.
Anyway, we were thinking of having it in her back yard as soon as we
can dig up the corpses and relocate them temporarily. Diane's sending
the two dogs to choir practice, and I've bought a few gallons of
liquid nitrogen so we can flash-freeze the cats to preserve them until
after the wedding. Besides which, I thought that Siamese
ice-sculptures would make a nice center-piece for the buffet table.
It will be a JOP affair (justice of the peace), but I'm kind of
hoping we'll get the governor to do the honours if we can get him
sobered up. As far as I'm concerned, your boa sounds like a great
idea because purple is my favourite colour, and I love fuzzy things
that tickle my nose, and a fedora'd woman is just so... so...
CALIFORNIA ! ANYway... as far as being bridesmaid goes, talk to
WonderWoman (soon to be WonderWife). I've already got my cousin
picked out as best man and I will let him know today. ANYWAY...
<pant> <pant> ... must breathe... ...must relax... thank you darlin'
!! We are looking forward to you being there. BTW, if it's your pie
we're talking about, then ANY situation calls for pie. Like the
sunrise, sunset, dew-fall, high-noon, westerly-wind, etc... you get
the idea. <G>
