I went to pimp French Restaurant down by the Wharf (i think that's what it's called.. the place with all the open air shops and stuff..)... Congratz!
yay zook!
Many congrats zook! :D
Thanks guys!
@ flomo: My gf loves FTR (especially how much it's helped our finances) but I don't think she's that psyched to have her photo posted. Maybe I'll ask her :)
@ kingnat: I think there are a couple of nice French places near Pike Place Market... Campagne and Chez Shea come to mind. I haven't been either place. We're going to Rover's which has won restaurant of the year a few times, never been, can't wait.
FYP!Quote:

My father in-law actually offered that to me. "George, we are putting XX,XXX.XX down for this wedding......whatever you come under that is yours. Even if you take my daughter to the courthouse, which financially I'd strongly recommend, the rest will be yours."
My (now) wife knew all of this too and still said NO I'M HAVING MY DAY TO BE A PRINCESS.
So my real advice? GIVE HER A DAY TO BE A PRINCESS.
P.S. And make sure you have enough beer/liquor for your friends so they don't remember their names.
Finally! Congrats man!!
If no pics, how bout an mspaint of how you predict your wife will look in 25 years? ITS A TARP!

Grats zook. Ive got a long way to go before I ask. Lucky man!
grats man!
@ UG: Sounds like excellent advice, ty. The whole wedding industry disturbs me, but I think I have to get used to saying "yes, dear" for this one. I don't think my gf will go too crazy though, I'm more worried about her mom.
She's 29 and looks ~19, so I'm not too worried. (Ok, I'm a little worried.)Quote:

Congrats zook!
I'm 27 and am yet to experience this whole love thing. I have a gf & a lot of ex gf's but I've never loved them. Sure I've lied and I'm sure I lied last night, but I need to get my shit in order.
When are you going to Cape Town again?
Thanks man!Quote:

Make sure you say farewell to your free time, video games, and friends.
Yeah.. cause the first 3 weeks is the hardest part. :lol:Quote:

I'm getting my phd in December. After that we're taking three months off to travel and move to Cali, so no day job!Quote:

and jobs don't take up free time either :wink:
BUT HOW MUCH DID YOU LOSE?Quote:
