Okay -- now that's funny!


You two get hitched up -- and we'll figure out something BIG when we're all at a SEMA after the big date.

^^^^^:thumbsup:

Congrats bud.

Congratulations Todd!

That's awesome news. Congrats Todd! Look forward to seeing you both soon. Was it a big, all-aluminum ring? Lol. Way to go buddy!

Way to go Todd!!!!!!:cheers: I think you need to plan the wedding around Sema:D

Aint that the truth! We heard it for years, 10 to be exact! People did slow down with that question after 7 or so years...so you have that to look forward to! :lol:

Congrats Todd & Kelli!! :cheers:

Congratulations Man! You know wedding cake has been proven to kill a woman"s sex drive...

Thanks guys:cheers: Life is good. :thumbsup:

Congratulations!!! Now you have a reason to build a second car (his and hers)

Good luck, marring my wife was the best decision I ever made.

This is actually kind of sad.A woman that would wait around 10 years for a man to finally marry her,and a man to take 10 years to actually step up and marry her.I really don't know what else to think :( .Maybe congratulations to the both of you!:captain:

Congrats!
 

Welcome to the dark side my young Jedi.

I would tell you about putting a penny in a jar for everytime you made love dating and take one out everytime after you get married...and the jar will never be empty.

Great!

My usual "advice" when asked about marriage is to reply -- "have you gotten out of bed and actually talked to each other yet?"

There was a study done -- there is a hormone that lasts 18 months -- once that wears off a date turns into a relationship.... It may explain why the AVERAGE marriage lasts a whopping 3 years... it takes the 18 months to get over the "hump" (pun intended) and then the newness wears off. :willy: :rofl:

Since we KNOW that Todd and Kelli have made it past this period... this should be a marriage that lasts! :cheers:

So we finally know that after 10 years you finally popped the question....I guess the real question though is...."Did she say yes?" :rofl:

Congrats Todd!

Yep, she said yes. :unibrow:

I've heard the horror stories of marriage since I turned 18 and went out and got a real job. I'd rather go into this deal with an open mind and make my own life from it.

I was only joking
 

Not the case in my house or many others, but you have to poke at the new guy jumping in and make him think/worry a bit.


I know this is jumping the gun here, but I was told...once you have kids you never sleep again, it is only a series of short naps. Mine are 11 and 9 and that is 100% true.

Ahhh....,Hmmm,......Horror stories,.......I'd love to tell you the long story and I hope you dont mind if I give you my experience in the short......

I made sure the the wedding cake was special ordered from Mexico, 10 lbs of finely ground spanish fly added to the frosting alone.........

After the reception, I rushed my wife to the car as my mother-n-law followed.......practically ran over my mother-n-law's toe's as I stepped on the throttle as she bellowed my wife name and I hear her voice fading away in the back ground, "Later mother-n-law, she's mine now, hah, hah, hah" I think to myself.

Just kidding. In all seriousness, in my experience, marriage is a compromise. We've had our ups and downs but I feel things got the best after 10 years probably due to not having much time for each other in the previous years. We were both 32 when we got married and we had 3 children back to back. Imagine having 3 kids in diapers at one time........definitley not easy.

We've been married 13 years now. Kids can shower and feed themselves now which makes things alot easier.

My advise, sit down with each other, discuss the future and plan accordingly.

Wish you guy's the best of luck!!

Congratulations! That is great to hear Todd. I've been with my ol' lady 10 years on Dec. 21st, and married for 3 of those.

Kelli seems like a real catch.

:cheers:

Congrats,Todd. I'm all for taking your time. I "dated" for seven years before I moved forward.

Here's to a new chapter of your life. A long and happy marriage to you!

yeah right, after all the years and the fact that your already practically married nothing willl change except the fact that you have another great accomplishment to show off... next will be the kids!:thumbsup:

Shouldn't parents have to pass a test before they breed? :rofl:

Lol! Yeah but kelli score well enough to even make of for todd! (Meaning she scores very very high)haha

Isn't it the highest scorers that never breed.:rofl: (Practice don't count)

You can't breed donkeys and get brace horses.

Congrats to Todd and Kelli. (A little late to the thread, I've been away from the computer for about 4 days.)
Best wishes.:cheers:

Todd congrats. some people look as it is life as we know it is over.Another way to look at it is another chapter in life begins.A good marriage is like a fine car if you maintain it and you will need to maintain it.:lol: it will last forever.Wish you the best of luck buddy.:thumbsup:

We know you've been practicing for years with the Camaro Todd. No more spooning in the garage for you!

:lol: Yep, time to transition from Project "Payback" to the wedding, aka Project "Pay".

Congrats Todd, and Kelli!

This brings a whole new angle to the name Payback. I'm sure you're going to be doing lots of paying back for Payback.

Matt

How about a Buttonwillow bachelor party? :unibrow:

****, I'm only 4 days into the 5 year probationary period. :lol:

Probation? What you talkin' bout Willis?

Todd, Congrats and welcome to the club.

We all tell horror stories, but we all love it. Tell your wife congrats too.

Hey, Congratulations Todd!!! Glad to hear she's willing to make an honest man of you.
Now you can spend some more time and moolah on Payback (after the honeymoon) figuring out where to mount the child safety seat. Hey...... might as well plan ahead right :thumbsup:

I've been shopping all day, since my wife and daughter are here with me in S.F.
I found the perfect kiddie seat at the Ferrari store for him! It comes complete with roll bar mounts!

:cheers: :woot:

No plans for rug rats. That I know of....:_paranoid

Todd, I really thought you would of just kept following my foot steps. I'm going on 14 years now with the same woman and still not married.
Kelli and I were talking about it at Sema Last year at the party. I guess another one bites the dust.

Just for people that don't know .... kelli is a elementary school teacher, what's that tell ya!:D

She's had her fill...:unibrow:
