How many times have you been married?

Twice. First marriage was essentially over after 10 years but stuck it out 17 for the kids. Got it right the second time around. 21+ years. She bought me my first 5 string while we were still dating. How could I go wrong?

 

married at 18, separated at 21. married at 25, divorced at 25.

became a couple with my sweetie when i was 42, married at 48, am now 60.

 

First time 2o years (betrothed at 20 yoa - what a f'ing dummy I was). Nil positive save two awesome children (who I raised as a single dad - best thing I could have ever imagined)
2nd time 15 years.
I was no smarter the second time, but stumbled into something that, though difficult and challenging (mixed family = tough), is fulfilling deep to the heart.
Happy I pushed through the fear and uncertainty. Weren't right and need to be fixed.
To those 'one and done' - I am envious and happy for you. I wish that for my children.

 

Twice. First for nine years, this time we will be together twenty five years come july.

 

She's the one that came up with the name. You should meet the rest of the family. There's Bearbait , Jailbait (my daughters) Gatorbait (my son) and Dingdong (the blond.)

 

Once. 21 years and counting.

 

This seems the PERFECT thread to let y'all know that @Chicory Blue and I are getting married.

This is gonna be number three for me, and if you follow TB OT you know how I lucked out with the smartest, funniest girl ever.

My family are all really excited, too, I've told them all about @Chicory Blue and my Mom says this is the best I will ever do, surely.
You don't need to tell me I'm marrying up -- I got the memo!






One slight disclaimer, I haven't actually asked @Chicory Blue yet but was planning to do so at dinner tonight, so ya'll wish me luck!

Maybe I'll start a thread to report on how stunned she was!

 

1. 23 years

 

Instead of a ring, I was gonna show her this when I pop the Q.

Lemme know what you think, yous guys.

Not pictured, so-sweet TV trays I found on ebay, they are tort

 

Good luck!

Two bass players? Wow, what a pair.
Cool.

 

My father-in-law referred to me as the white sheep of the family. He also reffered to me as "My buddy."We were very close, I loved that man, he passed about 10 years ago. His kids called him Papa but I couldn't bring myself to call him that. One day the name Papalooseky came out of my mouth and that is what I called him from then on. The name stuck and other family members started calling him that.

 

Yeah, I think it is great and really excited about our new life together in New Orleans.
Just hope she doesn't have some boyfriend lurking around when I get there, that's always a bummer

 

Once

 

I think I've screwed up enough people's lives, but thanks for asking.

 

... I was going to protest but that actually looks pretty comfy.

Be positive!

Ruminating about stuff like that kill the deal.

Be the person that she loves all the time.

Good luck!
