A good weekend!

Finally got the ring, popped the question, and she said "Yes"!

Congratulations. Quite a catch. Just wondering...what does she see in the likes of you?



Seriously....congratulations. You did good!

OK, was away for a while, so only got to see some of the comments now. Here's a couple of answers then:

Firstly HOT night (37 degrees) probably made me look a bit worse for wear. Nope, no alcohol at the time the pic was taken, only orange juice (not that that is where it ended!) Here's a (slightly) better pic then...



As for the ring someone asked about:



And yes, that is a sapphire, and no, those are not zirconiums!

Importantly, she loves p-cars, and is looking at buying a pre-73 targa, so she is quite a find then isn't she!

Thanks lastly for all the well-wishes!

Very nice ring. I like non-traditional.

Didn't I see you in Full Metal Jacket?
