Yep, it’s something at times I thought I’d never get to say except on April Fool’s day, but it’s definitely real this time!
I’m engaged to be married!
I proposed to my now-fiancรฉe Ruth on Friday evening, May 27th, close to 4:35 pm local time. I won’t bore you with details of the proposal at this time, because if you know her, she probably wants to tell you herself, and will do a much better job of it than I will! Plus, if I’m there when she tells you, I get to see how excited she gets and it about kills me every time! :-)
I’d also prefer to not tell you date predictions (we have an idea but we haven’t locked things down yet) here. But, I will say that we think 12 months for an engagement is too long! :-) But I will almost definitely be over 21 when we get married, which if you know me, narrows it down a tiny bit :-)
YAY YAY YAY!!! :-D
The first to comment!? You and Ruth have my wholehearted CONGRATULATIONS! This is tremendously excellent news :D I’m so happy for you both. You both seemed to hit it off well and now there’s proof. I hope to see you both around in Indy sometime soon.

Hey man,
Glad you joined the engagement crowd along with me! I got engaged about 3 months ago now. Congratulations!

That’s awesome Michael! Seems to be the thing to do this summer :-) In what time-frame is your wedding date, if you happen to check back here and don’t mind my asking? :-)
(sorry your comment didn’t show up for three days…haven’t been checking here too much and had a bunch of moderated comments to go through and delete…except yours which I of course approved!)

We are looking at next June. Possibly the 3rd…possibly the 10th.
No problem with the moderated comments. I have my own to moderate!

Sounds like a good time…Ruth and I thought about next spring when the weather’s going to be nicer, but we decided we can’t wait :-) We thought end of September at one point and November first, but neither worked out for people or place schedules of some sort. The date we picked is really about the only option, and it works perfectly for a free honeymoon location (we have to pay travel though) that I won’t say more about at the moment! :-)
