Title: She doesn't ride an FJ but I married her anyways!
Post by: Derek Young on December 01, 2013, 11:57:53 PM
After three years I finally decided to make an honest woman out of her... asked Donna to marry me Labour Day weekend...   :yahoo:

A friend of ours made the cake... exact replica of each of our back tires and sprockets in between!

Road trippin' to Tennessee (including Deal's Gap of course), Georgia, and the Carolina's for our honeymoon...

Donna is a great girl, and you make the perfect couple, Derek.
I'm very happy for you and proud to know you and have had the opportunity
to share a couple of rallys with you.

Take care.

Thanks for the replies gents.  Yes, Donna is a great girl, Leon.  I feel like I became a better person when I met her.  She has been to 3 rallies with me now and has really enjoyed meeting some of the FJ brotherhood.

Neither of you forget how lucky you are... 

For Diane and me the metaphor has always been that love's not a boulder, but a big pile of small stones.  If you lose enough of the little stones, you don't have love anymore.  Fight hard to keep the little things you love about each other and try in earnest to find more little stones to add since some of the little stones will get lost along the journey.

My dad said it much more eloquently when he told me "You'd be a damned fool to let this one go"...  I pass that nugget to you both.

Best wishes,

Frank and Diane

Awww, how sweet! Congratulations!!! You're a lucky guy. I'm glad my wife is happy with riding, (she on a Honda Passport, :blum1:) there are so many who won't do two wheels... Now ya gotta find an FJ600 perhaps?
