Hip Hip Hooray!!!! Congrats GAL and MM!!!! I just love a great love story!!! Are we all invited to the wedding???? After all, we have all been a witness to this love story!

I'm just kidding sorta. While we would all love to be there we wouldn't expect you to have a 300 or 400 guest wedding!

Well, dang, another good looking hunk bites the dust. Gal, can we still keep our picture of him in the sheer?

Sure, Granny - actually I think I've talked him into packing a sheer with him wherever we go, so who knows he may even model one for the Chicago TVCH get-together. OK, maybe not. Thanks for all your good wishes guys! We're very, very happy.

Oh, by the way - of course your all invited to the wedding, if I we ever get to the point of planning one (oy).

Granny, does it help to know that MM's 47 years old? He's closer to your age than to mine. I'm pretty sure if I hadn't snagged him first, he'd be chasing you around in sheers.

<...notes that she spelled sheers s-h-e-e-r-s, and not s-h-e-a-r-s, and therefore resists the oh, so obvious sheep jokes...>

Congratulations, GAL and Colossus!!! We're all so happy for you!

I hope there'll be live feeds for the wedding and reception - I'd spring for the upgrade on that one, forget the 2 week free trial!

Gal, no one could hold a candle to you, sweetie. You are the best and brightest and MM has snagged a very fine, sweet lady.

Thanks for all your great wishes, guys. Got my manicure done today just waiting for the ring. WOO HOO!! Got my pedicure done, too, just in case it's a toe ring. LOL. Mware, honey you are b-a-a-a-a-a-a-d!

Congrats GAL!!

I just came back from the What Song Makes you cry thread and was thinking about the song Amazing Grace - it doesn't make me cry but instead floods my mind with memories of family reunions, Thanksgiving and just about any other time my rather large family is together. There were 8 kids we're all pretty musical so when we're together the guitars and banjos come out and Amazing Grace is always on the top of the list as it was our mothers favorite song. Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside every time I hear it.

It was April of 1980. We ("THE guy of my life" and I) were in tool dept. of a Sears store. I looked around and then said to THE guy, "You're the best looking here." He gave me this odd look and then leaned in and kissed me. Where is he now?

Belated congrats GAL and MM!

Colordeagua....where is he now?

My memory came to me the other night. It was in HS orchestra. I played the viola, and from where I sat, the 2nd Violin section was to my right. Just a few chairs to my right sits a young lady playing 2nd violin. She has perfect pitch, plays in tune and never misses a note. But, she has absolutely no ounce of passion in her playing. She sits slouched in her chair, violin loosely tucked under her chin, her elbow resting in her lap. She gazes blankly at her music sheets, and is usually either chewing gum, or just playing with her mouth sagging open.

The HS has a tradition of playing The Hallelujah Chorus at the Christmas concert, joined by the school choir. Within that tradition, alumni sitting in the audience are invited to come up on stage and sing/play with the current students, and the rest of the audience is also invited to join in and participate.

So, we play, the choir sings, the audience joins in....and something magical happens. There is an energy as live as an electric current that fills the auditorium. It charges through everyone in the room. My mom felt it, I felt it. Its impossible to describe. But perhaps best depicted by, as we stood after our performance for the customary applause, I looked over to my right..and there is the usually listless girl. Her eyes are ablaze with excitement. Her cheeks are flushed. Huge smile on her face. As we sit back down, she sits in her chair, edge of her chair, back straight, tucks her violin under her chin, elbow high and off the lap, and says, "lets do that again!"
