My eldest son, the locksmith, popped the question to his girlfriend last night - and of course she said yes - how could she not? he is a wonderful young man.

He took her to dinner at the restaurant in Centrepoint Tower (the tallest revolving restaurant in Australia). He had then rented a boat to take them out into Sydney Harbour where he asked her to marry him. How romantic!

My ex husband and I mutually decided to become engaged because sadly his mother was dying from cancer and we wanted to give her some happy news. His father provided the money for the engagement ring.

The astro-dweeb and I got married because the INS said I had to or leave the country! No time for any sort of engagement!

So I never got the romantic proposal .......

Congratulations! Soon we will be watching you fret over the Mom's dresses! :))

I will be happy to be able to walk at the wedding! LOL. Hobbling over to your place now to read about your w/end camping.

Awwww - what a romantic! Congrats Mom-in-law-to-be!

Do they have a time frame in mind?

Good dude man! And good looking couple!
Congrats!

and awe about that last part!

Thanks Kelly :-). I think probably 2010 - I am going to have to start saving up. Not sure how it works here but in Oz the groom's family pays for the alcohol!

Congratulations!!! Gorgeous couples.

Thanks - He takes after me in the looks department. LOL. (actually, he does!).

Thank you Leila - yes they look good together!

Congratulations, but you know the smart ass in me wants to say she said yes because she didn’t want to swim to shore!

There I got that out sounds like a hopeless romantic what a lucky girl she is, and I am sorry for you not having been wooed the way you wanted but the unfortunate part of life is we don’t always get what we want in life, case in point but at least you have had some fun cab rides lately! It was the only bright side that came to my head for your life in the USA!

Yippee!!! Let's open the champagne! 8:-)

Ohh ok now I can think of what you look like..well without the Goatee.

LOL at having to swim to shore!!! Maybe ...... it is winter there so the water would be cold!

Congratulations! What a gorgeous couple..he totally takes after you.

The romantic proposal? I hear you. (A sent me an sms. )

LOL @ the sms!! That would've seemed romantic to me - given what I got LOL. Did you accept via sms?

LOL..not quite. We'd been 'introduced' by our parents earlier in the evening. I was so bowled over I'd already told him I wanted to get married! He was the one doing the accepting.

Hey, congrats to them both, Emjay.

sorry the nice guy in me say nice!
but the smart ass in me has to make those comments

Congratulations to them both and to you!

Oh what wonderful news - they make a beautiful pair

Congratulations to the MIL too.

:) Very wonderful news. Congrats to your son and his beloved. :)

Congratulations! and lovely for them. Romance is sweet...

Totally unnecessary for hard heads like ourselves, but sweet nonetheless :-)

OOOOOOhhh now you are going to be a MOTHER IN LAW! be kind.

Ha ha - that's great!

Thank you Snowy. They make a good team.

Thank you :-)

LOL!! Yes it is sweet. I have to admit that I would not have married the astro-dweeb if I could have just lived with him! (I didn't really want to marry the first time either but after living together for 5 years we thought we "should" before we had children. I never changed my name though! :-) )

LOL!! I hope I will be a nice one! Of course I will be! :-)

Congratulations to the beautiful couple! Now I can figure out how beautiful you look from your son's photo!

Congratulations to your son and his future bride :-)

Thank you Magnifika. Especially for the compliment! :-)

Thank you very much gcgal. I have just spoken to him and he thinks they will be getting married at the end of next year. I'd better start saving for my dress! LOL

Yes you'd better....nice time of year too for them to marry, are they in NSW?

Yes - they live in Sydney so it will be a nice time of year.

Beautiful...hey AND it's an excuse to come visit the home shores ;-)

Yeah - we were just discussing the 2009 trip - lucky I hadn't already booked! I will wait now until they give me an actual "event date".

That's good you hadn't booked anything, but at least there is plenty of time, hopefully they can give you a date soon enough to be able to book etc... (and organise your dress)
