So, I got engaged this weekend.

[colleyvillesooner]

Asked the girlfriend to marry me at Lake Fort Gibson at Sunset on Saturday. Luckily, she said yes. I think asking her Dad was almost as nerve racking as asking her.

We live in Dallas, and all her family lives in the Tulsa/Sapulpa area, so she was able to share it with her entire immediate family. She hasn't stopped smiling yet, so that alone is worth it.

She is an Oklahoma graduate and she may be more excited about the upcoming football season than planning a wedding.

Now, if I've been paying attention the last couple of years on here, my life is pretty much downhill from here, and I all the stuff I like doesn't matter anymore.

The view about 1 minute before I asked:



The dog tag I put on our puppy with the question on it and had her look at on our walk on the beach:

I asked my wife's dad too. And I agree. It was more nerve-racking than the actual proposal.

Everyone doesn't do this?

[Howzit]

I did too. Good form, colley. I had this big speech planned and got about half of a sentence out before he was shaking my hand and dragging me out to the living room to break open celebratory drinks.

Congrats.

[Mjcpr]

I did too. Good form, colley. Congratulations.

Man, this has to be awkward for you two.

[Scott D]

You're Mormon?

heh...in getting the wife I got the daughter, and eventually the mother in law...so plural would be the right way to put it.

[Scott D]

Man, this has to be awkward for you two.

[colleyvillesooner]

She's marrying the dog?

Never looked at it like that. Too nervous.

[soonerhubs]

Congrats CVS! Married life is awesome. The first year is usually the sharpest learning curve. Nice set up for the proposal by the way.

Congratulations. Nice pic of the lake too. My son and I were fishing about that time and came across a broken down boat and towed them in while watching the same sunset.

Good Luck!
