bigblock73 · 05-19-2005, 09:54 AM

Well guys (and gals), I am leaving tomorrow morning @ 4AM for the Bahamas...getting married.

Been with my fiance for 6 years. One year as friends, two years as BF/GF, and the last three engaged. Been an awesome six years, and I am very much looking forward to making the next step.

Hope everyone has a good week/weekend and I will see you all when I get back.

Oh, and I will keep my eyes open for any cool old trucks while I am down there...and try and get pics.

-Later

marriage is what you make of it.. if you keep it happy, it will stay happy

DBLSPRT68 · 05-19-2005, 10:14 AM

Congrats to both of ya'll! I got married almost a year ago, and can't imagine being without her. We went to Grand Bahama Island (Freeport) for our honeymoon, and Loved it. Have fun, which I'm sure you will.

Jonboy · 05-19-2005, 10:17 AM

Congrats and good luck, Jeff!

gldevall · 05-19-2005, 10:31 AM

Congratulations Jeff. Are you actually having the ceremonies in the Bahamas? Cool. I've been married now for 6 1/2 years, but it doesn't seem like it. Hope you and your new Mrs have a good time.

congrats on the wedding man-im sure being in the bahamas for it will be nice.to bad your truck wont be there with you so you take off in that and leave a big burnout on your way out-for some reason i think that would be cool to do-i wonder if i the girlfriend would go for that-if we get married that is.

dons454s · 05-19-2005, 04:14 PM

Congratulations .....

I been married 12 years some happy some sad. Two great kids and a great wife. Sometimes it seems like hard work but, It is exactly what you make it and all worth it.

75stepside · 05-19-2005, 04:20 PM

87 STEPPER · 05-19-2005, 04:23 PM

Larry the cable guy has one thing to say, "Get 'er done!"

Sorry if that upset anyone.

**swervin ervin** · 05-19-2005, 07:20 PM

Congrats my friend. I hope you have a very long and very happy life together.

Myself, I liked it so good, I had to try it twice. 12 years to the first biotch....err one, and 18 to the one I have now. I wouldn't take any amount of money for my wife but I wouldn't give you a nickel for another just like her. Don't tell her I said that though.

All jokes aside, being married is a wonderful thing. It is most definetely what you make it. Make it hell, and the devil will visit you very often. Make it heaven, and the blessing you receive will overwhelm you.

Anyway, have a very safe and wonderful trip. Congrats again and tell the misses I said hello congrats also.

Mike

86swb · 05-19-2005, 07:24 PM

Looks like you have a good start. You should know each other by now.

Congratulations. You will love the Bahamas. Have fun. I do not think too many of our trucks are over there but you can never tell. Take my advice (been married for over 40 years) make her your best friend.

ElGracho · 05-19-2005, 07:32 PM

Congratulations Jeff!

**Palf70Step** · 05-19-2005, 08:52 PM
