Donner, if you want to come on down to Key West for that thanksgiving weekend, I can promise you it will be a BLAST...
and it's been a slow engagement -- first we dated for 2 years, then i bought her a "promise ring", and told her if she could stand me one more year i would get her a real engagement ring.
she DID manage to make it another year, and she got what she wanted.....a vintage platinum Tiffany setting with an old mine cut emerald cut stone with nice baguettes on either side. it cost about as much as a nice vintage guitar......ouch!!!! but she loves it.
and then, i told her if she can make it through another year with me, we would set a date -- and she did -- so we have set the date, 11/28/09
So she's obviously serious about marrying me...and she has been involved in the music scene for years in south florida, knows most of the bands down here, helps me with my promotional stuff, and is my biggest fan.
i'm VERY lucky
