for those who don't know how we met....here is the short version. i was hunting classy e. cards and found a site. they had four or five message boards. one was literary. i went to it.

there were poets there. they didn't think that music is poetry. so to jerk their chains, i posted a Lyle Lovett song.

a man in Malaysia came home from work, put a Lyle Lovett CD in his player....went to send an e. card at the site that i used. saw the message boards. chose the literary board.

came in and saw the Lyle Lovett song which was playing in his player at that moment. his message was "i'm new, but i have this to say, "weezilgirl, will you marry me?"...when i went back later and saw the proposal, i replied that i would marry him.

for months, we planned a wild and far out wedding that included prairie dogs from the park across my street, buffaloes from a wildlife refuge and guineas, from the park, as bridesmaids in little bridesmaids dresses.

we sucked all of the oxygen out of the room every time we went there. he had a nickname for me and for awhile some of my friends thought he was flirting and posting to another woman! and they jumped him and chastised him.........

the rest is history.......five years........two rings...a topaz and one from an estate sale......and recently i found the printout of his proposal and scanned it and sent it to him......
