Good to hear, Hugh.

Our household is running 2 out of 3 (at this point) in successful spouses for our spawn. ;)

Ian

That is great, Hugh...you get moments in life that make it right.

Sorry I am going to miss you tomorrow...I nearly flew out just to say howdy :cool:

On a related note, my Son's girlfriend's father called and asked if Jack could trailer his car to be repaired because, "Jack knows this stuff".

So he did this morning.

$3,700 wedding dress
 

Wifey is in NYC with daughter they went to Kleinfelders the store that is featured by a cable show called "Yes to the Dress" $3,700 for the dress, haven't seen the dress yet, but add in veil, shoes, whatever. Daughter and wife are happy, so I don't care. They are planning a wedding somewhere in the British West Indies next April. She's worth every penny of it.

Gentlemen, very cool. You've done well.

Hugh - I would say you got off pretty easy!

Accounting?

Seems like the numbers add up.

Congrats.

Believe it or not, she is not a little girl anymore :)

That is just the friggin dress! They want a Caribbean wedding, next April. The good side, is that the Wifey is only leaning towards paying air fare and hotel for four family members and one very close couple who are my daughter's Godparents.

Anyone else who wants to attend will have to pay their own freight. At least that's the plan at the moment, I'm sure it will grow to "well what about these other friends"

Hugh,

Congrats to your daughter! Best wishes for her and your now expanding family!

well i am about to ask my girlfriends dad for her hand in marriage dont you think in person is better then making the phone call? ????

and congrats to you and your daughter

Definitely in person is better, that is what I did with my wife's Dad, however he lives in NYC. I live in Los Angeles.

You know what they say... marry a girl, marry her family.

I assume there is a nice McDonald's in the British West Indies.

Wedding and reception at McDonald's. What kind of wine goes with Filet o' Fish?

_

White wine?

Oh Wow! Congrats Hugh!

In my experience..marriage SUCKS BALLS.

^^^ And now for a few constructive words from the resident lunatic......


No wonder they kicked you off of the list....

sorry..nothing says, "Congratulations and Good Luck" to the happy couple like airing out your own negative attitude. maybe that is why your marriage worked out so well?

Hugh, ignore that post please..

....mixed with alittle cherry coke..:)

congrats Hugh..
I'm sure she will follow in her mom's foot-steps..
and keep the steer happy & coming home..

my FIL..James was old school..
and I would have done this..
but we got married after he passed..
but he did inform me at our first meeting..
you hurt her..
I kill you...
I knew & understood he meant it..
that was 30 yrs ago..
I miss him..

My daughter lives with her boyfriend. I told my daughter to tell her boyfriend if they are contemplating marriage not to ask for my permission. :) I try to keep things simple.

congrats Hugh!

sounds like the destination wedding is well deserved :)

Update:

Wedding is next April in St. Lucia BVI.

We're having an engagement party at the house on Saturday, September 15, 2012. The wifey has hired a "planner" who seems OK. the daughter of a neighbor who has 40 acres next to mine. He'll let us use our valets to park cars. Caterers, music, lots of outdoor lighting, expecting about 100 people.

Wifey informed me that one of our neighbors is the bass guitarist for a band called "Foreigner" and she is actually thinking of asking if his "band" would be interested in a Saturday night gig, I don't think so. I mean I'm sure she'd be willing to toss them a few hundred for the night, yeah right.

I'm putting in 20 curtain rods for some white frilly curtains on the patio cover posts, The wifey doesn't like the spider webs on the underside of the patio cover, so I have to pressure wash them off. She wanted me to rebuild the cabinets on the outdoor bar for the bartender, I told her I'd wash them off and rehang the cabinet doors that are falling off. She wants me to wash all the windows inside and out; its a night time event for God's sake.

Open bar, no you aren't invited. I know how you'se boys do with an open bar.

Tell the wife to go knock on the band guys door and see if he's up to it. :)

Just looked..... they are playing in NY that night :)

where do we apply for the valet job??

Can't make it, volunteer clinic that day.

Hire someone to come in and clean the place up, windows and what not.

They so need to play this at the party.

I'll bartend!

Congrats Hugh! Trying to hack an Evite now! :) you almost lost me at "spiders"!!!!:D

You never know, bass guitarists are wacky and unpredictable. ;)

Is there a need for "Dr. Phil" at the wedding? My weekend is available on the 15th! :)

So it begins. Last night. Party starts in 6-1/2 hours. Supposed to be 105 degrees here today. It should cool off nicely by 7 or 8 PM.
