[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] We knew we were going to get married. I wasn't that bothered, but Kate felt it was important. And I'm glad we did - it changes things in ways that are difficult to describe. It felt like the most natural thing in the world. Anyway, yes. Asking her father. As I said, we decided we were getting married but I hadn't formally proposed yet. I was vaguely planning to ask her when we were in Venice; however, about a month prior to that we were down visiting her parents and the idea sort of evolved that I'd ask her dad for permission. I did, and formally proposed later that evening when we got home. It meant that we had time to go out and get a ring - she chose it, I'd never have got the right one; then have it sized to her finger. Then when we were in Venice, in a gondola on the Grand Canal not far from the Rialto bridge, I put it on her finger. 8) As for wanting to find someone to love. . . Don't. I always knew that something was missing from my life. I tried looking for it. I tried replacing it, with work, drugs, meaningless gratuitous sex, and arguing on the Internet with a bunch of other misfits about politics, morality, and the length of a small starship from a TV show. Then, one day I gave up, decided I was destined to be alone. Then I went out to a works do where this PA from the Employment Law department who I didn't like very much started chatting to me. The rest is history. Or rather, chemistry, with a certain amount of biology thrown in, if you know what I mean. OK, so I don't mean "never look for someone to love." Just, don't set too much store by it. Your lobsters are out there, and you will find them. You're meant to find them. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should, remember that? So, just, be patient. Watch [i]When Harry Met Sally[/i] again to see all the many ways you could fall in love. Perhaps Liz will go in to upgrade her car's sound system, they'll have this hunky new salesman in the shop, their eyes will meet over a Bang & Olufsen subwoofer, and ZING! Or Siggy's friend could sit down one day and take stock of the men in her life and realise that there's one guy that's always been there for her. Don't undervalue friendship, it's very important in any lasting relationship. Kate's my best friend, and I'm hers. [/QB][/QUOTE]
