Big news!

Congratulations to both of you. Lovely ring, I'm particularly familiar with the brand

Congratulations to you both. Actually, just massive congrats to crawlie - winegirl, what on EARTH are you letting yourself in for?


My cousin'll be organising that with assistance from me. Being a clean living country boy though, I'm gonna have to ask Jimbo where to go in Munich for strippers and whores. Actually I might ask grtho for a few tips about some munich nightlife - crawlie might fancy one special last time with another man.

Just let me know son, though can I suggest from the off that you DON'T have it in Munich. London is your best bet, and far less obvious than bloody Prague.

Congratulations you two!

I alsho am tsinking that Amshterdam is alwaysh the besht place alsho. Alsho, they are having many preeeety girlsh.

Sadly, location is pretty much crawlie's only input, and he'll never let me take him to Amshterdam, its wrought with danger.

Thats a pity, I wouldve loved to have seen the pictures from that little trip...

Bah. Since when did the groom get to have an input? But really, don't do it in MUC - it'll be the same as any other BNO, i.e. start and finish in GMs - this calls for something a little more special since you've got the time to arrange it, so I'd suggest a lunchtime flight to London (Sleazy Jet to STN, which I know isn't in London, but is ALMOST in London), then into town to check into your B&B's (behind Victoria Station, rented by the hour), and then off into the London mid-afternoon sunshine to find a nasty little strip-pub - I suggest 'The Nag's Head' on Whitechapel High St. After spending an hour or so playing pool and pressing 50p pieces into the hands of two women who both resemble Cher's 5-day-old corpse, off into the evening to find an Indian just over the road at Brick Lane. Once you're out of there it's over to W1 for a bar, followed by a Casino (cheap one on Piccadilly should be perfect), then finish up in On Anon on Piccadilly Circus. It'll be a riot.

Just saw this...congrats to the 2 of you.

It's far from the first relationship that's started through TT, but this could well be the first engagement and subsequent marriage through TT...

Yep, I think it is - fast work chaps.

Apparently they're the second couple - Space and Moko being the first (so I'm reliably informed!).

That's great news Congrats from me as well!! I'm really happy for you two Def have to celebrate this when you get back

Hey, congratulations! I am very happy for you guys and I wish you lots of luck for the future ... Can't say that I am overly shocked by this turn of events though - I have a vague recollection of a conversation during a trip to Tegernsee in which you two were spotting future houses and planning which one would be the sound-proof kids room! (And that was about a week after I heard crawlie refer to you as 'sweatpea' )

Never say never. Oh I think theres that day when it could all be possible ... whats that day called, oh yeah, wedding day.

Congratulations!

Congrats to you two!!


Yesh!! It ish!! Come over and have the stag do here!

Thanks everyone!

Washing up? I am a big fan of paper plates and plastic knives and forks myself... I like the idea of a dishwasher although we have been on the lookout for a midget to purchase for those household chores such as washing up... I thought you could buy anything in America but still cannot find any midgets..

Thanks to Debbie for the advice on the ring. Although it seems Germans buy engagement rings based on size as opposed to how it looks.. Honestly.. I saw this ring and the assistant asked what size... It was much smaller than the size I requested (although the ring is actually slightly too big which shows how much I pay attention already...) and so the assistant shows me rings in the correct size. I said I did not really like them but she just responded with "But they are the right size"... Interesting policy...

Stag do. There will be people coming from all over so we thought Munich would be good... Done London before. Prague sounds interesting and, believe it or not, I quite like the idea of Amsterdam. I could probably keep Don sedated enough to stop him from organising anything dodgy... But his cousin...

@Roots... I thought I could feel some kind of magic power buzzing inside... I put it down to curry but it must have been the card

Only 10 months til we get married and I will not see her for 4 of them. Someone up there must like me... (sorry dear...) Won't be having a party until December when she returns from her wine harvest...

Anyways... Still in Chicago (winegirl is in Denver with the Colby's and the Carringtons... God I am showing my age..) and staying in a friend's apartment which overlooks the lake. Not a bad place with the one exception that the woman is not here...

I get back to Munich on Sunday evening so may make it to GM's late depending on whether the Easyshit flight connection is on time. But will defo be out on Tuesday for a few drinkies, if only to celebrate the me burffdee...

Thanks again everyone.

Hurray Hurray for the 4th of May outdoor fucking starts today! Oh PLEASE get married on the 4th of May, I promise to NEVER forget your anniversay.

CONGRATULATIONS YOU TWO! May the dreams you dream be the reality you create together!

And the piccie of the ring was taken up a mountain near Santa Fe during a wedding we were attending at the time. Very nice it was, very nice indeed

Congratulations!

i think i've been in germany too long, thinking the engagement was way too fast. then again, i'm american too and a closet romantic *sigh* and i think the germans take WAY too much time anyhow.

congratulations you two. i wish you both all the best.

i'll save the corny stuff for the card.

Congrats you two; me and 'im is really happy (and welcome to the very exclusive TT wedding club)

This photo from editor Bob's Buga Thread is so sweet. Now someone put some bubble captions and let the piss taking begin. They can put it in their wedding album

Congrats to both of you!

sorry guys, missed this up until now. Congratulations to you both!

Congrats Crawlie and winegirl!!! All the very best!

Ah... Post was edited I see so my response is no longer funny... But it was at the time...

Move along please... Nothing more to see...

I saw that too!

YIKES!!! I"M NOT GETTING MARRIED!!!

Absolutely stellar 32D...

Probably... its TIME to hear the bells ring?

???

Maybe I'm having another blonde moment but does anyone else get that???

Not at all. Make some sense, foo.

ah vagueness is my forte (sometimes), translation: he thinks maybe its time for sk8trgrrrrrl to get hitched. I think the additional grrrrs add a nice, if not grizzly bearish touch really. edit that, make it austin powers touch. grrr baby, very sk8trggrrrr

ps: if I didnt get the translation right, then what BSF said...make some sense, fool.

This makes thing very complicated. Not only do we have to throw Crawlie into all the fountains in Munich, but surely Whiney wants all her best mates along for the hen night.

Congrats you two, and hope no wine based coercion was used for either the proposal or the answer.

wow, just saw this! The post, I mean..
I saw the wedding coming a mile off

Congratulations! I tried briefly to imagine just how much wine will be consumed at the wedding, but stopped when I had already used up the EU wine lake reserve...

Well, 32D, thanks for the observation that you think I should get married...maybe later.

Crawlie and Winegirl...maybe we can make it a double wedding...You guys and then me and my imaginary man

Yeah Sk8rgrl, take one for the team!!

Oh... So that was you and your imaginary man I could hear last night...

@MAM - We were both surprisingly sober during the whole proposal process. I had to chose a moment during the holiday when we were both sober so obviously it was quite a difficult undertaking...

HEY!!! 3Lions and Crawlie... There was NO ONE here last night - Real or imaginary!!! Damn roomates Trying to ruin my angelic image...

Oh thanks sk8rgrl. I just spat coffee all over my computer screen reading that...

Well, serves you right
Now where's my halo??...think I left it around here somewhere...

d'oh! being out of town i only just saw the thread, too.

CONGRATULATIONS, guys! it'll be wonderful, and we're all SO happy for you!

oh i'll give it back accidently took your halo last nite sk8ergrl & sorry for the noise guys hope u understand

Congrats Winegirl & Crawlie...

Congrats both of you. Keep in mind that your only problems stem from getting bored...keep it spicy and full of good wine and all will be great!

...Stop it!!! Revenge is a bitch you know

Arshoo, big warning to you, you don't wanna have sk8rgrl trying to get revenge on you. She's vicious.

Oh Jesus... We got her upset again... Looks like I will have to lock my door and put my earplugs in again tonight... It gets messy... Very messy... (She has already filled up 3 freezers in the cellar you know..)

So it wasn't ketchup on that butcher's knife I saw at your place?? It all makes sense now!!

Nope. It actually was the butcher... If she offers you Leberkäse just politely decline...

@sk8rgrl peace!!!

i better get into hiding
thanks for the warning BSF

Oh the drama!

Arshoo, no probs...I don't have any room left in the freezer anyway

Hey Winegirl & Crawlie,
I just saw the news. Very exciting!!

I wish you the best of luck. Congratulations!
