Hey! I'm getting married!

[maveric]

To a beautiful, liberal democrat! From a strong dem family.
Waht a difference a year makes. Last year I was alone, depressed and esigned to a life of celibacy. Then I met Patti!


maveric is truly in love!

[hippywife]

1. Congratulations to both of you!

Wishing you many happy years together! :hi:

[maveric]

7. Thank You! It only took us both 50 years to find each other.

Did I mention that e-Harmony hooked us up?
Best $100.00 I've ever spent!

[hippywife]

17. A bargain at any price!

Your happiness is worth so much more!

[mykpart]

30. Congratulations! I was 52 and he 53 when I married the love of my life.

Much happiness to you both.

[Gormy Cuss]

5. Cool , maveric.

Congrats.

[Cruzan]

6. Does she already have kids?

[maveric]

8. No. No kids.

But I have three grown, non-dependant children. So we can have fun and travel from now on.

[Cruzan]

10. Great!

That's always one of my top criteria for entering into a relationship, particularly if the children are young. I have a strong preferance from unfortunate bad experiences to not also take on the roll of father to kids I didn't sire.

Best of luck to you. I wish you all the best.

11. Good for you!

Congrats! Best of luck to the both of you!

May I add that Patti is hot!

:toast: :bounce: :hi:

[maveric]

13. I think so too.

Its kind of scary in regard that we NEVER argue. Always on the same page.
Every minute I spend with her is fun. And I mean EVERY minute!
I am truly blessed.

[bigwillq]

14. Isn't it great

when you find someone like that?! :bounce:

It's hard to come by but it does exist. :)

[maveric]

16. I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd find someone like her!

I have to pinch myself periodically!

[bigwillq]

19. So when's the wedding?

:shrug:

[maveric]

23. August.

With a honeymoon in Italy.
We are both half Italian and would love to explore our "roots".

[bigwillq]

46. You lucky guys.

Going to Italy! SWEET!

My parents went in 2002 and loved it so much. Beautiful country.

[Blue-Jay]

12. Hey! Congratulations!

I married a liberal democrat (and DU poster) myself.

[maveric]

15. I'm trying to get her to join this board.

But she's afraid that she'll look stupid in the presence of all of us hard-core political activists.
I just had to laugh at that one.

[Orangepeel]

42. has she READ the board?

afraid she'll look stupid... :rofl:


Congratulations, maveric! Many years to happiness to you both!

[Courtesy Flush]

18. Congrats

I've been married for a brazilian years, and I still love it. Hope you guys have all the happiness in the world.

PS. About marriage advice...

We have a TV in the bedroom, and it hasn't done a bit of harm. We've gone to bed angry, and woke up angry. Where the hell do people come up with that claptrap? Ignore advice, and just be happy together (oops! That was advice!)

[crim son]

20. You're still gonna stay celibate, right?

heh. Congratulations on finding the woman who will make you happy! :hug: :toast:

[BarenakedLady]

21. Congratulations!

Wishing you all the best. :hug:

22. You're getting married in the morning

Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, let's have a whopper
But get me to the church on time

I've got to be there in the morning
Spruced up and looking in my prime
Girls come and kiss me, show how you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time

If I am dancing, roll up the floor
If I am whistling, *whew* me out the door.

For I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus, but don't lose the compass
And get me to the church, get me to the church
Be sure and get me to the church on time

I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Stock me or jail me, stamp me and mail me
But get me to the church on time

I've got to be there in the morning
Spruced up and looking in my prime
Some bloke who's able, lift up the table
But get me to the church on time

If I am flying, then shoot me down
If I am wooing, get her out of town

For I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong the bells are gonna chime
Feather and tar me, call out the army
But get me to the church, get me to the church
Be sure and get me to the church on time

Mazel tov!

[lizziegrace]

Moving to the beach was the beginning of a whole new life. Much happiness to you both, always.

34. Oh Peggy, I was so hoping that you would chime in here.

Yes, I was so unhappy and hopeless last year at this time.
This Lady is very special. Treats me like like king and makes every moment we are together pleasurable. Unbelievable!
Thank you so much Peggy! It means a lot to me.
