    Getting Married

    Just wanted to officially announce here that I dropped to my knee and asked Kira to marry me, and she accepted.

    Those of you near the Chicago area are naturally invited to whatever comes after this, though I am not sure what that involves. Ceremony will take place at Saint Marks Catholic Church here in South Side Chicago.

    The rock (1.25 K) came from Tivol of Chicago (which I am going to be paying on for a long ass time). I proposed with a fairly simple statement "I don't want to be with anyone but you, and I don't want you to be with anyone but me".

    Not exactly my typical check in to the nest, but I am in love, and I finally decided to do something about it.

      Getting Married

      Dear C-Developer, may you and Kira have many happy years together. Let me add that I got married before my 24th birthday and have been married 30+ years now. My DH and I both attribute our success to the fact that when we married, we had pretty much nothing -- our clothes, garage sale furniture, and books. And, the list of what we expected in a spouse was not very long (trustworthy, a good friend, funny). But, we made a point to have some activity that we enjoyed pursuing together and have continued in that vein for 30 decades. Finally, I hope you remain AF and don't let it become an issue in your relationship. You deserve to be happy.,

                    I know your expecting this so I might as be the one to get it out of the way...

                    Whats the Damn rush ?? I mean You love her..ok..she loves you .. even better.. but Why Jump into a freaking life long Commitment so fast ? Dude .. I think your making a big mistake man. Dont get me wrong here Im so happy for you guys and you sound astounding everytime you talk about her. Even if you end up being Happily married for the rest of your lives I still think its a mistake right now. Its not fair for the both of you to take on the responsibilities of each other. Right now your only responsible for yourself but not after you say "I Do" though. Its That type of gig man. Take is easy bro .. there is no reason to rush this.

                    Enjoy yourselves together .. thats the ONLY thing that matters right now.

                        Yes this sounds too rushed c developer. Have yiu two dated long? I know you dated before but I don't think yiu two really dated a long time. It's not possible to know someone in that short space of time. I know you're in love and that's great but it takes at least six months to know someone well and get to see the real person and see if yiu two are compatible. I wish you wo well though whatever happens I really hope it works out for you.

                              Thanks guys,

                              and i truly appreciate the feedback, and even the criticism, but none of you know what I do. Kira is my world, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her, which is why I dropped to a knee and asked for her hand.

                              To the 3rd party observer, I am certain it looks impulsive and irrational, and perhaps it is to some degree, but I can't close my eyes without her burned into my retina.

                              I think I have found my soulmate, and I want her in my life for as long as I draw breath. Getting sober has been an incredible experience, but Kira loves me, and I love her, so this is a natural progression.

                              Those of you near Chicago are welcome and encouraged to attend. My Juliet has found me.
