Another Announcement!
John Paul Vrolyk
Hello all. An interesting thing happened to me.
At about 1 pm yesterday, my phone rang at work. I answered,
"Good afternoon, Avesta." (That's how I usually answer my phone.)
There was a brief silence. Then a voice spoke.
"Will you marry me?"
It was the voice of my girlfriend, Leslie Johnson.
I said, "Alright."
So I guess that means that now I'm engaged. Neat. I've never been
engaged before. I did expect that it would happen sooner or later.
Well...actually, I expected that it would happen later, but I'm not
complaining. Just suprised.
There are no plans for our wedding any time soon. We haven't even
discussed that yet. It certainly won't be before May of 1999, after
I've finished my degree, and may be much later than that.

Congrats John and Leslie. If you care to take some advice, I just got
married on 5/9/98. Start planning now! Do NOT cater any of it yourself!
We did all of it, and it was nice, but we spent the night before the wedding
running our legs off, and the night of the wedding cleaning the hall. Spoil
yourself, spend the money for a caterer! We tried to save a little, and had
a hell of a time. (Will make for an amusing story at our 50th anniversary.)
Also, we provided what the caterer said he would and saved a whopping
$10.82.

Best wishes.
Remember Charlton Heston's advice for a long, happy marriage. It
consists of telling her over and over again something along the lines
of: "Yes, dear, you were right."

John Paul:
CONGRATULATIONS! to the both of you.
I hope you enjoy making plans together, I recall that my wife
and I really liked getting involved in planing our own wedding. We
had a great time with the many details involved.

Les wants you to be.<snicker>
Rules for a Happy Marriage:
Separate bathrooms, desks, and computers. Share the big decisions,
but specialize on the smaller ones and don't second guess --if it's
her area, let her do what she wants. This also makes for better time
management, btw. Of course, this presupposes intelligent, competent
spouses --but you're Heinleiners, so that's covered.

Neat is a good word for it. Congrats!
So, the question now is, where's the blushing bride?

John Paul and Les--
Add my congratulations. I don't recall that either I of Nora ever
asked the question of the other--it went from "if we did" to the
assumption that we would. So it is a GOOD sign that this step was
taken.
Again, congratultions!

That is how it worked for me, Donna said "I really feel more comfortable
with you in the house, guess I might as well marry you." She's a real
romantic!
