!!!!!!! We're Engaged !!!!!

[burythehatchet]

WOW. What a whirlwind its been. We met last weekend at the beach in South Carolina. It was love at first sight. I had NEVER met or dated anyone like her before.

She doesn't say much but her eyes hold the wisdom of the world.

She doesn't move fast but her steps are steady.

She doesn't like to be too far from the beach, but I can sure get used to that. We might move to Texas.

We're not going to have a long engagement; probably a civil ceremony next week....gosh...my head is spinning.

I'll still be here at DU and maybe she'll join as well.

My box turtle and I are going to be very happy.

[Dookus]

1. *sniff*

I'm a sucker for a love-story.

[burythehatchet]

4. like they say dook

its just when you stop looking that you find love.

[salinen]

2. Will the Hare

be one of the bridesmaids?

[burythehatchet]

9. She's not very fond of hares

plus we're just going to have a civil ceremony. You know, justice of the peace and maybe a starfish friend of hers

[Massacure]

3. Engaged after one week???

[Misunderestimator]

5. I wish for you both many happy years... and lots of little turtles

How long do box turtles live anyway?

[burythehatchet]

12. our love is eternal

and yes she is a bit older than me. She's 126. But I always liked older women.

[EstimatedProphet]

6. You had me going!

Especially since I got engaged last weekend! At the beach, no less!

[burythehatchet]

11. Well real congratulations and best wishes go out to you my friend.

:toast:

[Jack Rabbit]

7. Wow, does that bring wondrous thoughts

She doesn't say much but her eyes hold the wisdom of the world.

If you say so, that's love.

[laruemtt]

8. congrats -

but be careful - i hear they have "wandering eyes".....

[truthspeaker]

10. I hope you two are happy and have hundreds of children!

And that no more than 80% are eaten after they hatch!

[tandot]

13. How will I ever explain this perverted relationship to my kids?

Couldn't you just fall in love with someone of the same sex?

You will turn the rest of the world into box turtle loving perverts by giving up your perverted box turtle loving vibes! Shame on you!

[burythehatchet]

14. You know, we don't choose who we fall in love with.

It just happens. Have I tried to supress my love for SHELLy? Sure. But some things are just not in our control.

[CatWoman]

15. you fucking nut

:hi:

[burythehatchet]

16. whaddya mean?

:shrug:

[CatWoman]

17. LOL

May I volunteer as a bridesmaid?

[burythehatchet]

18. Shelly just wants to have a couple of starfish friends attend as

witnesses. She said that until she turned 90 she wanted a big wedding but after she hit 90 she didn't feel the same way. But we'll come party with you in Atlanta fer shurr. :toast:

We'll tell you all about our honeymoon. We're going to spend a week at Turtle Bay in Jamaica.

[Rowdyboy]

19. Where are you guys registered?

I'd love to send you both a nice, crisp head of Romaine (or the lettuce of your choice)!

[burythehatchet]

22. We're registered at Bed Box and Beyond

but lettuce would be great.

[Dogmudgeon]

20. Senator Santorum will be very displeased!

Haven't you heard his hour-long speech about Man-on-Box-Turtle sex? It will surely be the downfall of civilization!

[ewagner]

You're one crazy-assed dude!

[LynneSin]

25. Do you have a picture of your bride-to-be

and how will the neighbors feel about having you & your new bride as their next door neighbor?

[burythehatchet]

27. This is Shelly and my future mother-in-law

isn't she divine (Shelly, that is. Her mom is no beauty queen).

[SoCalDem]

26. SHELLY IS LYING TO YOU, DUDE...SHE'S NO BEACH CRITTER

She is hiding her true self.. She is a plains/desert critter.. She's mesmerized you with the "bare" beach look.. She's probably planning to move her whole family from the midwest & southwest , to live with you... Better have a big garden, and lots of insects.. :)

[burythehatchet]

28. Love conquers all SoCalDem

I feel like 17 year old kid. OH to be in love. I thought life had passed me by.

[xultar]

29. What colour will her shell be for the ceremony? n/t
