....the fact that I am now engaged to Sarah. She actually popped the question while we were on holiday in Scotland.

There's some fab news amongst all the rubbish going on at the moment!

So happy

Just one question... how come it wasnt you doing the asking? Did she get bored of waiting??


I had been contemplating it, but you know how it is, no money for the important ring - we are as such ringless at the moment. But that does make it easier as we can go ring shopping together

In all honesty it was a suprise as there was me thinking she was getting bored of me. Lol


mookaloid - 20/4/09 at 09:00 PM

Very happy for you

Particularly if she looks anything like the girl in your Avatar

I hope you are both as happy as me and my missus were.

Good luck to the both of you for the future.

jollygreengiant - 20/4/09 at 10:23 PM

Congratulations mate, as to a ring, if you have each other then that is all you NEED in life, the rest is just decorations.

Congratulations to you both.

She might have signed the post off as Steve, but she isn't fooling anyone....


Simon - 20/4/09 at 11:47 PM

What is it about Scotland - my Mrs suggested (sort of proposal in my book!)we got married as we were going up the Cairngorms in October (circa 1990), in a bloody chairlift

No escape!!!!

Good news all the same, so congrats to the two of you

Locost Style ring then - Copper Washer ??

Congratz .


MikeR - 21/4/09 at 06:47 AM

SHOPPING FOR A RING!!!!

You want to get Haynes latest book - "Make your own wedding ring for 250 pounds". All you need is to find a few diamonds in your local scrap yard. When Ron went a few years ago there where hundreds although I believe they're a bit thin on the ground now.

I believe the second edition has a section on making babies.

Anyway, why buy a ring - you've got a lathe, show her how much you love her and make one!

(Congratulations and good luck for the next 50 or 60 years).


iank - 21/4/09 at 06:55 AM

Congratulations, beware the 'we'll need a car with more seats' conversation

Only one thing more expensive than cars and houses...

No idea if it's what you/she want but it's quite possible to design and/or make your own rings.


flak monkey - 21/4/09 at 07:17 AM

Thanks chaps,

Sarah's building her own car slowly (RH Zero) so mine will be staying, no need to worry about that LOL

No idea about a date, no rush there I dont think as neither of us can afford it at the moment. A house is first on the agenda I think!

We will both be at Stoneleigh, so see you all there

As for Bianca, all I can say is she likes her as much as I do


jabbahutt - 21/4/09 at 07:19 AM

congratulations to you both


DaveFJ - 21/4/09 at 07:55 AM

Congrats Flak,

as for the above statement...shes definitely a keeper


nick205 - 21/4/09 at 08:32 AM

Congrats to you David

I waited (dragged it out) until I was asked too - only polite really IMHO

Make sure you plan and have the day you want and not what others think you want would be my only piece of wisdom. I think too many people get sucked into the big £££££££ white wedding thing.


hellbent345 - 21/4/09 at 08:33 AM

congratulations chap

Congratulations to both of you


Ivan - 21/4/09 at 11:21 AM

Congratulations - best question/order ever from my woman was the "Marry me" one - Needless to say I complied and now it's 35 years later and never a single regret.


chris_smith - 21/4/09 at 12:29 PM

Congratulations to the both of you. Excellent news, well done.


flak monkey - 21/4/09 at 07:58 PM

Once again, thanks to all.

Hope to see you all at Stoneleigh again this year. If you can find my car (probs on either the MK or Locost stands) then I'll not be far away. Do come and say hi to us both
