Well, prog folks and prog gents and those of you just here for the free hors d'oeuvres, I have exciting news - my girlfriend of nearly five years, Bernadette, and I have recently got engaged! We are both geeks so instead of going to a fancy restaurant to celebrate, we bought and built a house ... of Lego. I thought it was romantic that we started our engagement building something nice together but it is far from standard romance.

Marriage is like a three ring circus. First there's the engagement ring, then the wedding ring, and then the suffering.

I'm surrounded by cynics! A standard romance - I don't know - doesn't the guy usually spend months building up some perfect moment to propose? Instead of buying a Lego house? We don't really care - it made us happy.

Congrats to both of you! Make the wedding the celebration of your life — it doesn’t have to be more expensive than a Lego house, and the memories will last as long as you live.

Congrats man... I hope you try it out and get the better side of things...
Standard love is chickflic, dinner in an expensive restaurant, violins, wine, a balcony watching the full moon and then the expensive ring that costs you an eternity to buy... so the girl can't deny the propuse because you used her credit card to pay half of the date...
That is standard love... I guess... ------------- |

Congrats!!!! Have been having a great time with my high school sweetheart since 1985....we met in 1980. I still don't know if there is a secret, I just think in some cases two people are actually meant for each other.
I wish you a long and happy life together Mr & Mrs TheGazzardians (prog reviewer(s))

Married now? Again best of wishes. Hope you had a great ceremony. We did. Too much unneeded drama when it comes to marriage for others I've known. I'll do a emoticon quote.
