I'm getting married tomorrow.

[cherokeeprogressive]

On Sept. 8th, 2002, at 2:10 p.m., I opened the door to my first adult school class of the year. It was a class PC Upgrade and Repair. This gorgeous blonde walked in the door first, and sat right in front.

Since then she has been; Teacher's Pet; my Best Friend; My Lover (but only after she was no longer my student!); and finally my Fiance.

Christmas/New Years week 2003/2004, we went on a Barefoot Cruise with Windjammer. I pulled her into the middle of the galley on our last night out, and proposed to her in front of all the other passengers (yes, on my knee).

Tomorrow, we're going to the San Bernardino County Clerk/Recorder's office, and getting married at 12:30 p.m.

Her name is Sandi and she's the kindlest, gentlest, most generous person I've ever met, bar none.

14. My Dear CaliPeggy... Thanks so much! I figure we have about 40 years from tomorrow...

I'm sure they'll be better than my first 40!

16. I don't think you and I have ever gotten along on anything here.

But...congratulations!!!! I wish you both the very, very best and a lifetime of health and happiness.

May all your dreams come true. Cheers to you and Sandi!

[cherokeeprogressive]

18. That means a lot to me.

As far as the rest, I agree with many things you post. Maybe my problem is that I only respond to posts of yours that I disagree with. I'll do better!

Thanks though. My dreams have already come true. She's everything any thinking man could ask for.

I make sure she never touches a door handle, share the dirty dishes with her, scrub toilets, vacuum, and generally do things I was never motivated to do before, and not because she asks me to, but because she treats me so right that they seem the right thing to do.

21. What you just said there, that is the secret.

I found the love of my life 11 years ago, after half a century of waiting.
Without talking about it, I find we have ended up putting each other first.
And it makes our dance together wonderful.
We don't even fight. We do sometimes agree to disagree, and accept that.

Just as you said: It's the right thing to do.

Keep that up and you will be happy endlessly.:)

37. Congratulations!!!!! Having been

on a Barefoot Cruise with Windjammer, I'm surprised you stayed together. I hated that trip; almost everyone was seasick losing their lunches with a lot of big waves for a few days.

I hope you have a marvelous day tomorrow and GOOD LUCK!

39. Fabulous. Getting married is a great thing to do.

I wish you as many years of happiness as I have known and then many more beyond that.

Be thankful too that you and your lover can marry. It's not possible for everyone, which is tragic.

Congratulations.

47. Congratulations one more time!!!

My wife and I got married back in 1982, and that was after 8 years together (we just never found the time).

I have never regretted a second of it.

Here's hoping you don't either. It sounds like you're off to a good start.
