    Married? What the hell? Are you telling me that there's something she can give you that your Pchat community can't? We can make you laugh, make you cry, tell you how beautiful you are. We can spark your intellect as well as provide for your financial security as noted by the many platinum sponsors on the site. Hell, put a blonde wig on my fat hairy nice person and let's have a party sweetie! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:

    (congratulations and many happy years))

    AND PC could keep me warm at night if I put the server in bed with me! Maybe I didn't think this all the way through correctly...

    Yes I did!

    Here's a pic of the 2 of us in Key West this past September:

    And yep, she's a basketball fan, but an even bigger college football fan! So double score!

    I don't think I could handle an orange Prius - the orange Element will be plenty of that color in one garage. I'm still going to hold out for my Magentic Gray.

    Only downside is that her dad owns one of the Honda dealerships here in town - I need to talk him into investing in a Toyota dealership... :)

    Congratulations Danny! Does your bride to be know about your Prius affliction? Might be better to tell her now so she can get used to it. After two years of having my Prius, my wife still thinks I'm obsessed. I have don't have any idea how that got in her head.

    Uhh, speaking of servers, does she understand what your priorities must be if you're, uh, re-consummating your love and the server goes down?

    Remember, the key to a happy marriage is to smile and nod. :)

    Just say "Yes, Dear!" :p

    Congrats Danny. Hey, just because I’m a 40-something misanthrope who fools around with middle aged bored married housewives, doesn’t mean I can’t wish you well. I actually like going to weddings, the happy-happy joy-joy feelings are neat.

    Hey,what if we all WENT??

    A military base parking lot (or airstrip) full of Priuses?

    A World Prius Roundup, with airportkid flying in habel's Prius from Oslo? A two-day Prius BBQ and Barn Dance, with the wedding featured at the end of the first day?

    We'd all want to bring our beloved cats and dogs, of course...

    C'mon, Danny, think BIG. (Or you and she could also sneak out to Vegas, and leave us to our own devices.)

    If you right click or control click on his link, you can copy & paste the image location into another window. She's a very pretty bride to be. Congrats again! :)

    Danny and [??????], sittin' in a tree, K...I...S...S...I...N...G...., first comes love, then come marriage . . . then comes . . . :unsure: :huh:
    HEY! WAIT! If loves is supposed to come first, WHY AREN'T YOU GETTING THE PRIUS FIRST???

    Just kidding.

    Congratulations!

    And I second (or thirds) the advice on wedding planning. A nod is good. But if she really wants some input, say something very neutral like, “I can see why you are having problems making this decision, I too am torn between the round bar napkin or the square bar napkin. Whatever you choose will be OK with me.â€

    WOW! You are leaving yourself wide open with that one . . .

    But this way, if PriusChat goes down on you, you would have a smile on your face.

    And you DO know what all the Photoshoppers are going to be doing to your and your beautiful finance's picture, don't you????
    Hint: Get ready for some penguins, and maybe a visit from Bill Merchant. :eek:
