the big Q

well, after 29 years of being single and 3 1/2 years of dating my girlfriend, tonight will be the night! I have the ring hidden inside of one on my computers with the picture of it set as the wallpaper and the "will you marry me?" question saved as a text file labeled "click click"



its a little over a carat, wide platinum setting, valued at around 8400, but my great uncle owns a diamond gallery store, so i got the hookup on the price.


this is us.

Exclamation

Congratulations! Maybe...

Ahemm... Looking at that picture of you and your intended, I feel I have to warn you about something and I may hurt your feelings so I'll apologize ahead of time. This is the first time I've ever seen a picture of her and I realized something about her... Like I said, I again apologize ahead of time...

I truly hope you realize that with her in the truck, nobody will ever notice any of your mods, much less your truck! Are you sure you can handle that kind of stress? It's not too late to change your mind, you know!

Oh yeah, nice rock!

Congrats on the engagement!
The 2 of you make a really nice couple, she's a cutie.

I wish you would've gotten her a smaller rock though...

My wife will see that pic, give me a scornful look, and say "Why didn't you get me one that big?"

Do you realize the damage you will cause????
Don't be so selfish, think of what your doing to the rest of us married guys.

Arrgggg!!! I'll never be able to buy a supercharger now.
Thanks a lot man!

Happy engagement and all that stuff

Alex

Congratulations! What a unique way of popping the question.
I proposed before computers came along. Well, I guess there were mainframes but, since she wouldn't have had access to a console, I would have had to use a key-punch machine and hand her a deck of IBM cards with a bunch of holes.
