We appreciate your concern.
It is noted and stupid.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything serious, but I figured that you guys would appreciate the news I have to share. [Wink]

Three years ago or so, I met a wonderful woman, Marcy. In August, I asked her to marry me, and she said yes. [Smile] The wedding was scheduled for March 21, but we're not sure if we'll be able to pull off a decent ceremony by then. Anyone know much about "last second" wedding planning? We fail at it.

But that's not the biggest news. She's pregnant, with a boy. The due date is June 3. Understandably, I'm a little nervous, but it's a happy nervous! Here's the second ultrasound image, with him proudly advertising his gender at the top. Yeah, really. I'm going to be embarrassing the hell out of him with that one in a dozen years or so...

And thus the most important things that have been going on when I'm not here. Which is most of the time. [Wink]

That's wonderful news, Charles! Thanks for sharing that with us, and I wish you all the best.

With that timing, it's not technically a shotgun wedding, but you can't back out now! [Big Grin]

Seriously, congratulations!

Indeedy, which is why I make sure to note the timeline when people ask. [Wink]

Thanks everyone. [Smile]

I'm slightly annoyed at Hobbes' rather rude decision to be much more attractive than me though. That's just rude. - PsyLiam, Oct 27, 2005.

Congrats to the both of you Charles.

Does he have a name?

Here's hoping he has his Mothers eyes, I.E., only two.

My brother went and got married in Vegas last june, they thought it was fun. Cheap and corny, but fun. They do want to have a second wedding and reception here in sweden too, though, for the sake of the Families.

Yes congratulations!, on the hitch and your new justification for existing. Coincidentally, my brother and sister-in-law is expecting a baby next week, I'll be a real uncle at last. The have no idea as to gender and they like to keep it that way right up until the explosion.

I don't know you, as I've only just registered, but congratulations all the same. Marriage is big enough on its own, but a baby on the back of it? You're in for an interesting ride!

As for last-minute plans, just remember: in the panic and pandemonium, don't get your stag night confused with the wedding day and mistakenly book the strippers for the church. It can only end badly...
